Chapter 10
An hour and a half had already passed when Elle finally walked out of her room to see what Phinn was doing. Phinn was sitting in some basketball shorts and a t shirt watching football. Elle never understood sports, people hurting each other with out actually really wanting to hurt them. She walked to the kitchen giving him a zap on the way there; "OW!" he said standing up touching the back of his head. Elle said nothing and looked in the fridge, nothing like usual; she always had to remind her father about getting groceries. "Do you want to go out and get some?" Phinn spoke walking up to her. "My dad doesn't let me out much unless were on an assignment." She spoke sternly closing the refrigerator, looking in the cupboards. "Maybe he'll let me go with you, I mean I'm pretty much his favorite now…after you." He gave her a smirk leaning on the kitchen counter. "I HIGHLY doubt my dad will approve, but If you want to waste your time. Go ahead." She said handing him her cell phone. Phinn took it from her hands and dialed. "Hey Mr. Bishop… is it okay if I escort Elle to the grocery store? We have seemed to run out of food…oh okay…I understand sir. Thank You." Phinn hung up handing the cell phone back to Elle, "let's go, your dad said yes as long as I bring some back up" he held up one of his guns. Elle was surprised, but it was fun to get out of the facility. "a few ground rules, no zapping anyone. No making crude remarks. And you can't get any candy." He joked with her, he wanted to cheer her up since he knew it had always been serious business with her. Elle shook her head and started to go towards her room, "whoa…come back here, what are you doing?" he grabbed her arm looking at her clenching his other hand to get a picture of her. "I'm gonna go change…" she frowned at him looking down at what she was wearing. A tight black spaghetti strap and some old dark grey sweats. "you look fine, were just gonna get in, get out and come back, simple as that." He pulled her towards him putting his arm around her casually. "You got to loosen up Elle, chill…" he said later feeling her zap his side. "okay I deserved that, but let's go I'm hungry as hell right now and you are too I can hear your stomach growl." Phinn strapped the holster over his shoulder inserting one gun on his right side. He grabbed a sweat jacket out of the closet with all his stuff and put it on concealing his weapon. Elle gave him an angry look, "we'll take my car…" Phinn smiled and walked out with her. They went into the elevator; Elle remembered that he had won during the meeting. "How did you get down so fast? Those stairs are out of service for construction." Elle looked at him waiting for an answer; he looked down at her as he put on his sunglasses. "My little secret…what do I get for winning? A kiss?" he smiled at her his hands crossed over his chest. "Okay a kiss." Elle said leaning into him, unfortunately for him Phinn got a zap in the groin. Phinn fell to his knees grabbing his groin wincing in pain; Elle looked down at him for a change with a big smile on her face. She walked out of the elevator walking towards her car in the garage. Phinn finally had some strength back and walked after her getting in the passenger seat. Elle started the car making sure it was clear she drove down to the grocery store. She looked over at Phinn who was quiet for a change, he was still holding his groin, Elle figured it was for protection. "Why'd you do that? Couldn't you have just zapped me on the leg or something?" Phinn turned to look at her his sunglasses off. He clenched his fist to see her face, to see her reaction. Elle had a huge smile on her face, looking towards him, "I just wanted too…stop being such a baby." She said turning into the store's parking lot. "Such a baby?! Do you know how much that hurts?!" He yelled at her, it was the first time he was really angry at her which was rare. Elle frowned at him and zapped him again, "imagine being shocked by 1000 volts times ten. I had to stand that when I was 10. So don't complain because he had a perfect child hood and I didn't." Elle felt her emotions get the best of her, but she didn't want to make a scene and go into the store crying. "We'll talk about this when we get back." Phinn huffed getting out of the car; he breathed in deeply and exhaled trying to keep his cool. Elle got out and crossed her arms over her chest watching Phinn as he got a shopping cart and entered into the store with her. She looked around at all the people bustling about with their own lives. "What do you want to get first?" he said looking at her his hands gripped on the shopping cart. "Frozen things I guess…I don't cook." Elle started walking towards the frozen food section. She got a package of Hot Pockets and chicken taquitos, while Phinn had gotten some vanilla ice cream and frozen waffles. "do you like Italian food? Like pastas and what not?" He asked her pushing the cart towards the pasta isle. "yeah, I'll eat anything really…" she was still angry at him ,but there was something about his calmness that calmed her down as well. "I can tell…" he said looking at her smiling, "are you trying to say I'm fat?" she said, she never really paid much attention to how she looked. "No I was being sarcastic, I think you look beautiful." Phinn smiled putting different pastas in the basket. They went down several isles before coming to the produce section. Phinn grabbed a bunch of different herbs and vegetables placing them in the cart. His mom and father were very good cooks and he had learned from both of them. Elle and Phinn walked to the check out line and Phinn paid for everything, he chatted with the cashier nicely and Elle watched them. She wondered how Phinn could be so nice to people he didn't even know. It was a mystery to her really, the way he could probably have any girl he wanted at his will because of his attitude. Phinn put all the groceries in the trunk and they drove away. Phinn stared out the window thinking of how the Haitian had said Elle was ready for the taking. He would do it tomorrow night. Although tonight he would try and get closer to Elle, without being zapped.
