The shop is like a mini supermarket, nothing much to eat like...meals.
I grab two sandwich boxes and a chocolate bar, she might like it.
All of a sudden something dashes on my arm, the little girl.
"Um..do you want anything" I murmur looking straight into her eyes which were so sharp and bright.
She stares again, why isn't she talking? I hate repeating my question.
"Do you want anything? You can pick it up, I will pay" I wave my hand towards the shelves.
But she is just staring at me, without blinking.
What a creepy girl.
I keep on looking at her just like she was looking at me,
Stop it max! My subconscious bit it's teeth.
I avert my eyes and look around the aisle whether I need anything for another 3 hours or so of travel.
But nothing catches my eyes except the little being near me who is still watching with those big light brown eyes, woah...why didn't I never notice this!? Nice eyes, I say to myself and walk to the counter. I try very hard not to look at the girl.
but I can't, I keep on checking her eyes, her mouth and her actions.
Something is wrong, I murmur to myself.
Her eyes jumps from my hand on my wallet and to my face which is sternly on the cashier.
"Thank you sir, um...have I seen you somewhere!? You look so familiar..." he drags,
"Maybe in the newspapers" I smirk and walk away leaving that guy with an open mouth.
I wait till the girl gets inside the car, I am having lots of unanswered questions only this girl can answer those.
I start my car and resume the ride.
After a few minutes I again start to question her, let's first start with a simple question maximus….
"What is your name?" I ask, not once but twice no no thrice but still there is no answer.
I AM DONE!
For the next three hours I ate while hers was unopened but I didn't utter a single word, I drove my car to my house, let her father come and pick her up. I am not his chauffeur.
The sun is almost setting and I park my car in front of my home smoothly, I didn't turn my car off but just turned to look at her.
I don't why I want to prolong this moment but I want to. Very badly.
She is sleeping very peacefully, her balck shiny hair is tucked behind her ear and her breath comes out in soft sound which is clearly audible in the quiet car.
I don't know how many minutes passed. I finally take my hand to her shoulder and shake her, wake up princess.
She stirs and her eyes flutters open once her eyes is set upon me she gasps.
Why??
"We are home, I mean in my home…" why am I correcting myself, grhh she is making me powerless.
But she didn't even move anything, not her eyes, not her mouth and not her body.
Everything is fixed upon me, what am I? An idiot? A beast?
Well I am capo, but why the hell is she looking at me..?
"Girl! Why are you looking at me like that!?" I snapped frustratingly.
She sighs, finally!
At Least I got a sigh, "will you please open your damn mouth!"
My voice is overflowing with anger,
"Hi.." she looks down immediately after the melodious Hi, her face is...red!!!
Am I making her go red!? now why the hell do I feel proud!?
"Um...hi" Well, I didn't ask for this hi.
"We are home…" I drag, AGAIN!
Please, please speak! I whine inwardly.
"Thank you, but this is not my home" she murmurs but her eyes are set on her intertwined fingers, her whole body is facing me.
Attention, that's what she is giving.
"I know, but I don't know where your home is. I will call your dad once we go inside, ok?" I look at her, curiously.
"But Alex said you will know where I live, Bee." Bee!?
I open my mouth to protest that I am not Bee but something stops me, no, she stops me by talking further.
"Bee, you will know…"
"No, I don't know. But my capo will know!" Let me change the plate.
"Capo… no!" Now her eyes are up, exploring my face.
But her eyes are wide in fear..what did I do!?
I pout inwardly, my subconcious stands uo immediately MAXIMO! You. are. The. capo. Don't. Pout. IDIOT!!
"He is a good man!" I protest, this is called self appreciation. Hehehe
"But papa said…" she drags
What did he say!
"What did he say!?"
"He said...he is a… scary guy...with a cold heart!" Wow, wonderful! Thank you so much Leonardo for scaring this little girl!
"No no he is um...never mind. You want to stay here till your father comes to pick you!?"
I want to hear your voice, simple.
To my surprise she nods, ENTHUSIASTICALLY!
Looks like I am good at talking.
I pick my phone from my pants pocket and quickly call Leonardo, I can't wait anymore.
In the first ring itself he picks the call,
"ah..Leonardo" wait! Bee calls him uncle,
"Uncle!" I quickly add.
"Huh" poor man he is confused.
"I have your daughter, come to the mansion." I say and cut the call.
"My dad is coming!?" her hand shoots out to grasp mine.
Woah….her fingers are ice cold. Oh....The A/C!
Before I think my face is pulled down, *smooch*
Kissed.
