Blood on the man
"So, who's gonna drive?" Sky asked as he and his family walked out of the house and over to the large van in order to get to the supermarket. They were all dressed in casual clothes, Sky
wore a blue t-shit and a pair of jeans and his trainers, Samara had on a red tank top and black jeans, her hair was braided and to her feet she wore a pair of black high-heels. Bloom was
dressed in her blue miniskirt and a t shirt with a heart, added to her blue tied boots. Erendor had put on his golf outfit; it consisted of a red polo shirt, a pair of linen pants and expensive
white trainers.
Erendor groaned instead of answering. He really did not enjoy driving the car when his wife was in a bad mood –In which she obviously was today since she hadn't said a word-. Nervously,
his wife looked over at her son.
"Maybe I could-" She offered. Erendor's snigger cut her off in the middle of her sentence.
"You and driving? I'm sorry my dear, but I don't think that you can handle the steering wheel." he replied while yawning, chuckling another time. He looked over at Bloom who was checking
her purse for her cell phone and her wallet. She wanted to make sure she had her insurance and her identity card –just in case anything happened-.
"Didn't you get your driver's license a while ago?" Erendor asked her very suddenly.
Bloom looked up at him and nodded.
"Yea." She answered looking over to the large silver van then at Erendor and then over at Sky whose eyes made her heart thump a thousand miles a minute.
"And there we have our driver." Erendor exclaimed, patting Blooms shoulder, who rolled her eyes, not looking forward to driving her fiancés mother who would probably have nothing better
to do than criticize her driving style.
All of them got into the car short after this and Bloom hit the gas. Sky sat down next to her and Samara sat behind her son, able to watch every one of her soon-to-be daughter–in-law's
actions.
To Bloom's own surprise she managed to drive the car without any complications, as if she had been driving it since the first day she lived. After twenty minutes of stop signs, street lights,
and a little trip on the highway, she pulled up on the parking lot in front of the supermarket, turned off the engine and got out of the car. The supermarket was not exactly that what you
would call "small".
As Erendor had squished himself out from the backseat of the van, and Bloom had locked the cars doors, she watched with a smile how he gazed at the huge building in front of him. The
king sized lights of the grocery shopping center saying "EGSEC"* -the only place where celebrities could shop without paparazzi and regular citizens following- made his eyes open wide. He
had never been grocery shopping before, -his favorite shopping method was the home shopping network after all- as well as Samara who, however, other than him looked at the grocery
store not all too startled.
"So, what do you think?" Bloom asked her future father in law whose jaw was almost popping down as he thought about the capacity of food the store was able to hold. He placed his
hand on her shoulder and blinked a couple of times.
"I'm hungry." was his only comment.
Bloom laughed at his comment and pulled on his arm to lead him over to the shopping carts, pulling out one of them and ordering Erendor to push it. She took her wallet out of her purse
and entered the huge store with her future family.
As they entered, Samara was surprised by the many people who were walking around the stores inner with their children, pushing the cart with one hand and holding their toddler in the
other. Most of them were celebrities or politically important people. Of course she looked at Bloom and Sky afterwards and imagined them walking around each with a baby on their arm and
a little child following. What she saw in her mind made her worry about no one else than her son. She did not even ponder about how stressful a life with two or more kids would be for
Bloom. She only thought about how Sky would be drifting away from his mother more and more, until he would not want to be in contact with her anymore. She was torn from her daydream
as she noticed her husband standing in front of her, his arm filled with cookie bags and other sweets. His face let her know that he was waiting for an answer from her.
"Samara?" she heard him ask.
"Umm, what? Sorry, I wasn't listening." She uttered with her arms crossed.
"I was asking if you know what I should take; "Razies" or "Niggnaggs"?" he asked confused.
Samara shrugged.
"Ask Bloom, she apparently knows everything." She answered.
Erendor's shoulders dropped down as she said this and he was about to groan in boredom.
"Can you stop being such a nuisance for once? Give her a chance. By the way, I have no clue what you have against her, she is very friendly and she has class. She dresses well, has a
good diet, does well in school, and most importantly, she loves Sky like crazy so why should we stand in the way of them getting married?" he asked his wife, who looked down at herself
and faced her husband in plead guilty. However she did not want to admit that she was acting stupid.
Her expression said "I know that I'm wrong, but I'll be damned if I confess."
Erendor looked at her and murmured "Can you at least try and behave for the next few days? I have a good feeling about her."
"It's not about your feeling. Sky already had a fiancé. Why didn't he stick with her? She was perfect for him!" she retorted.
"What? She was nothing like her. She couldn't drive, she couldn't cook, and most of all, she didn't make Sky happy at all. I always saw the pain in his eyes when he came home from a date
with her. You know he never wanted that connection. He always wanted Bloom and no one else." Erendor answered in a raised voice.
"But Darling, he always said that he was happy with her." Samara replied.
"Well he was lying. Guys tend to do that when from time to time!" Erendor answered. "Now, should I take "Razies" or "Niggnaggs"?" he added.
Samara rolled her eyes.
"Take both, were rich." She answered with a sigh and then walked along the halls of the market, looking for Bloom and Sky who were supposed to be standing at the fruit stand, choosing
the ingredients for the brunch Bloom was going to prepare this morning.
He found the two of them standing there, Bloom loading two papayas, a Melon and gapes in the shopping cart. As she saw the two of them coming towards her and Sky she sniggered.
"Wow, cookies, chips, gummy-bears…" she stated, examining all the food Erendor held in his hands. She counted the bags, and added it up to sixteen bags of junk-food.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem with that?" Erendor replied.
"Isn't it a bit much fat and sugar? I'm just concerned that this not good for your health Sir." She murmured. Right as she said this, Samara glared at her and put her hands on her hips.
"Listen Bloom! You don't tell my husband what to and what not to eat. He is old enough to watch for himself!" she exclaimed. Erendor nudged her in the side before she went any further in
screaming at Bloom.
"Samara, stop. I think she got a good point. I really think I should watch out for my weight a bit more." he stated with a debating expression.
"Oh come on, do you really trust her? She is thin as a stick." She exclaimed with a raised voice.
"Mother, leave her alone." Sky threw back at her, placing his hand on Blooms shoulder.
"Yes, Samara. Don't go mad. Bloom is just trying to look out for me, which I think is a good thing." Erendor told his wife looking at her with raised eyebrows.
Right then all eyes was on Bloom who was staring past them, at one of the grocery shelves.
She poked Sky with her elbow, telling him to look there as well. Samara and Erendor looked in the same direction, and both pulled in a gasp of air as they saw who was standing over
there. They saw a black haired man who looked a lot like Andy.
"Do you smell that?" she asked them.
"What?" the others replied.
"It smells like blood." She answered.
That moment, the man turned around to them and started walking towards them. He wore a pair of black shoes, long blue jeans and a dark shirt. From the distance Bloom was able to
make out a red spot on his right shoe which scared her to death.
"I think that's from last night…" Bloom murmured, pulling her cell phone from her purse. She called up the police station right away and animated them to come to the store. However, as
they came, looking for them, they couldn't find him since he ran away, taking a shot in the hand for pointing his gun at the police.
