Bentlee's POV
Just then I realized, "I haven't eaten today!"
I didn't have any groceries and my snacks were finished, so I decided to go out to shop. I think I saw a supermarket somewhere nearby.
I was out of the door after some minutes when I met an older lady who i assumed was my neighbour. I smiled and bowed slightly to show respect. It was better to make friends with neighbours since I'm new here.
I decided to walk to the supermarket to observe the surrounding I just moved into. It was peaceful and quiet and it seemed like people were living in harmony here.
At the supermarket, groceries were cheap as fuck. I bought a lot to last a while.
On the way home, there was this good-looking man and who I assumed to be his wife and child that actually greeted me and asked if I was the new neighbour. It was so cute that they seemed to care about each other in this neighbourhood.
The house was quiet and seemed lonely, but no way in hell did i miss my relatives' house. I enjoyed the serenity. And since tomorrow was a Sunday, I decided to rest for as long as i liked without worrying that anyone would just barge into my room.
The next day.....
Zeke's POV
It looked bright and sunny, but dark and cloudy. I wondered how possible it was for the sky to look like the opposite of itself. There was no one in sight. It felt like I was alone until a figure passed before me. It looked like a female figure. I decided to follow it and ask what was was happening. As I was about to touch it, I fell into a huge hole in the earth. I gasped awake, realising it was just a dream. I felt disoriented for a few minutes before getting accustomed to my environment.
I was in my room, on my king-sized bed in my house. I used the restroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth without checking what the time was.
After a while, I forgot my dream and was back to normal.
It was a Sunday, so I decided to relax until I remembered the family dinner i had to attend. I hissed loudly making Kai, my body guard, ask me, "what's wrong sir".
"Tell my mom I won't be able to come for the dinner tonight", I replied.
"She said to tell you that you can't lie your way out of this dinner", Kai said.
I sighed and asked kai to be ready to take my out by 1pm.
I liked to give out orders before time to ensure no mistakes of forgetfulness are made.
I worked for hours before deciding to relax by going out. I dressed in a big white T-shirt, black jeans and black boots with black shades on.
Kai drove me out by 1pm to a normal restaurant where I could relax with ease. It was on Glide roll street, not too far from my house.
The decoration was basic but vibrant and welcoming. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with a bottle of Pepsi.
The food wasn't anything special, but it made me want to eat more of it.
I looked outside the glass window, my mind subconsciously wanting to see something interesting happen.
I heard a commotion outside the restaurant between a young lady and a man.
For some reason I kinda liked the lady's outfit. It was a beige strapless camisole with black shorts that were halfway across her thigh and black sneakers. Her hair was done in a messy bun and she wore sunglasses.
I was about to leave the restaurant, so I paid and took my meatballs to-go.
I watched the commotion that happened in front of the restaurant.
"What do you think you are doing?" The lady asked obviously angry.
"You're probably new here. Im just helping out", he answered with a disgusting smile on his face
"Did i ask for your help?" She asked looking irritated.
"You look like you need someone like me. Come on baby..." He said slightly touching her ass.
I am one to mind my business because I usually don't care, but I like her outfit and not when I'm seeing some useless man sexually harass a lady in front of me. Before I could reach where they were, the lady's foot connected with the man's groin. All the men who were present were groaning on his behalf, imagining the pain he felt.
She kicked his groin again making him Fall to the ground holding his balls. She kicked him one more time causing men around to "uhhhh" and "ahhh" all around.
"Don't think someone like you can EVER intimidate me or touch me as you please. Try it again and watch me cut off your dick and feed it to you....fool!" She said and walked past me.
I stood there shocked by what she said. Normally women were scared to say stuff like that because they wanted to sound lady-like, compliant, and timid.... well not this lady.
Unknown to me, a smile had formed on my face, showing how i subconsciously enjoyed what I just witnessed.
In a few minutes, she was out of the restaurant with a to-go bag in her hand. Her sunglasses were a top her head this time and her face looked extremely familiar, like I'd seen it recently. Then it hit me.....the crazy girl we almost ran over.
She looked calm and composed now, probably after speaking to the owner of the restaurant, I thought forgetting that not everyone was as rich and powerful as I was.
She bumped into me, causing my to-go bag to drop and my meatballs roll on the floor.
"I'm so sorry", she said bending down in an attempt to salvage the situation of the meatballs. After assessing it for a few seconds, she got up and said in a pitiful face, "I'll go buy you a replacement".
"That's not necessary", my mouth moved on its own.
"I insist. Let's go", she said pulling my arm, not waiting for me to say anything else.
She bought more meatballs and handed them over to me, bowed slightly and apologised again.
I told her it was okay. Before I could say anything else, she walked away.
Something in me didn't want it to end like that, so i said, "these ones aren't as big as the ones I had".
"Huh?" She turned swiftly.
"They're smaller. They won't be enough", I said
"What would you like to add then?" She asked slowly.
"Frozen yogurt" I said simply
"They don't sell frozen yogurt here", she said with a slightly annoyed look.
"Yes, but they do five blocks from here", I said.
"Five blocks?? Why should we go that far. Can't a Pepsi satisfy you?" Her tone was growing annoyed.
"You're the one who bumped into me. So I get to pick where I want a replacement from", I replied.
She clutched her arm so tightly that I was sure it made a mark. I swallowed my saliva, a bit alarmed by what she did.
"Fine let's go" she said with gritted teeth.
