Liam opened the door for his psycho hostage to come in. He saw her carrying two shopping bags and a lunch box. Her face was beaming and he could tell she had a nice day.
" Hi",
" Ryan get you something?",
" yes", she replied grinning and dropping everything on the floor, " he bought me a lot of clothes",
"Clothes?",
"Yes he's a very nice guy and he's cool", she said giving him a thumbs up. She was about to carry them to her room when she saw a similar shopping bag beside the couch.
"Huh? Did you also buy me clothes?", she said as she took them but Liam was so fast to snatch it away from her before she could open it.
"Buy... buy you clothes? who? me? never", he said and hid it behind him.
" ho", She said looking disappointed, "Yes that reminds me, Ryan packed some food for me but I don't like it so you can have it",
"You don't like Ryan's food?", he said surprised that for the first time, someone was saying she doesn't like Ryan's food. Like who doesn't? He's such a great cook if he must say.
"Yes, I don't like it at all",
" and so do I look like your waste bin or do I look hungry to you?",
"Yes",
"What?",
She pulled him to sit on the couch,
"Yes you look so lean and not so healthy, Last night When I wanted to eat something, there wasn't any human food except fruits and water. You should eat more",
"Who are you to care?",
" Amelia",
" Amelia?", he realized he didn't even know her name.
" yes Amelia", she replied smiling, " but let's make a deal",
He scoffed, "A deal?",
"Yes a deal, you'll promise to always buy me lots of fruits and I will always get more food from Ryan for you", she said grinning. Liam nearly laughed at such a silly deal.
" I can always buy myself food so...",
She became down and pouted.
"Wh...what are..you.. you doing?", Liam stammered at how adorable she looked when pouting.
'Did I...did I just stammer?', he asked himself in his mind not wanting to believe he truly just stammered.
Amelia moved closer to him still pouting and blinking her eyes severally.
"Hey! Hey stop that",
She moved closer even more.
" I said stop", he yelled but she didn't even burg,
"Okay fine",
" yesssss", she screamed happily, " you promised already and a real man won't go back on his promise",
"When did I promise?",
She didn't reply, rather she carried the shopping bags and ran into her room. Liam scoffed at how tricky she was. He sighed and turned back to the meal, the silly deal made him scoff once again but this time he couldn't help but smile.
Amelia waited patiently as she kept checking on Liam's room hoping he would open the door anytime soon. She wants him to tell her where the bathroom is so she can take her bath and change her clothes, She wasn't comfortable the way she is and she was getting irritated at herself that she couldn't even sleep.
"What's wrong? he's always awake by this time, is he sick?", she asked herself the fourth time if she should go into his room.
"No I shouldn't, he's a stupid man he might yell at me like a real sick dog", she hesitated. A few minutes later, the exit door opened and Liam came in, sweating like he'd been doing some hard labor.
"You went out?",
"Yes, I went jogging",
She nodded, of course, she knows what jogging is. Prince Allan makes her do it sometimes for fun.
" I've been waiting for you?",
"Are you that jobless?",
"No, I...I...",
"Seems the cat cut your tongue",
" I was waiting for you...",
"This is the second time you are saying that", he said as he opened the bottle of water to drink.
" I want you to take me to the bathroom",
Liam choked on the water and started coughing,
" Liam are you okay?",
"What...what did you just say?",
" I want you to take me to the bathroom I don't know where it is",
"You mean you want me to show you?",
"Yes",
He sighed and suddenly started laughing. He licked his lips and said,
" give me some minutes okay?",
"Mm-hmm",
"She's really a strange one",
A few minutes later, he came out of his room looking all dressed. He was in his white shirt and black pants.
"Let's go",
"Are we going to work? I haven't taken my bath",
"We ain't going to work today is a weekend dummy",
"Ho, then are we going to the bathroom",
Liam groaned getting frustrated, "Just get in".
She entered the car and became curious about where they were going.
'Maybe we are going to Ryan's place ', she thought and started smiling.
Liam saw a man in his early forties, beating a boy brutally like he was caught stealing. He couldn't overlook how brutal the boy was being beaten and he pulled over. Amelia who also saw what the man was doing frowned deeply and felt like cutting down his arms with her dagger but she had no idea that's why Liam stopped the car.
"Where are you....", she couldn't complete her statement when he came down from the car and walked briskly to the man. He yanked the boy's hand free from his grip and punched him hard in his jaw.
"argh", the man groaned as he held his jaw and looked back at Liam.
"Hey, who are you?",
" someone you should see as your enemy now",
" you should learn to mind your fucking business", he said and made to punch him back but Liam was too fast. He punched him hard in his stomach and soon they began to fight. The boy cried into Amelia's arm who embraced and began to pat him.
The policemen arrived in no time and arrested every one of them.
