A month later
"Yes...please come quickly." A soft voice spoke on the phone than it hung up.
I used the music the Devil by Roy Nardin, it fit perfectly for the atmosphere I wanted
Beast stood in front of a derelict building, he could smell the blood, he could hear the cries and he wanted it to stop. His nails extended and his eyes sharpened to slit like diamond as he made his way up the stone steps and through the bolted down front door. He didn't kick it...it fell from the sheer force of his aura
Vicious dogs were barking wildly, chewing at cages and snarling were suddenly silenced and whimpered in the corner of their cages as he walked by. He was in a trance...
"That's right, make Mama Tonka proud." That woman cried out in joy as blood spilled against the wall.
His mind flashed back to the cages, the blood and the fighting just from the scent of death that filled his nose and his aura filled the whole building as the long corridor he was walking down led him to a steel gate.
There were two men holding two dogs back with their leashes on a kitten that terrified, hissing and trying to swipe at the dogs. The sound of laughter from the people around, appalled him to the very core.
Suddenly the gates flew open right off their hinges and onto the ground, making a large crash sound that echoed throughout the arena, making everyone frozen in place except the dogs, who just lowered their heads to the ground, crying. The men and woman thought for sure it was the cops but the smoke cleared up to reveal this angelic 'female' walking into the arena.
They pulled out their guns.
"Who are you?" A woman shouted but Beast didn't respond. He just walked by the men and dogs to the frightened kitten.
"Do not worry, I am here to make it stop." He patted the kitten on the head and it just whined and looked up at him, "What kind of people do such horrible things to sweet creatures? You're just a baby." He said to himself but he looked up at all of them, "Answer me, what gives you the right to hurt such loyal animals?" He picked the kitten up and held it in his arms.
"I don't know who you are, but you came to the wrong-" One of the man in the arena was about to pull out a gun but Beast grabbed his hand in a flash and broke the man's wrist as easily as ripping paper. The man cried out and fell to the ground
"I do apologize, but I do not like to be interrupted. Answer my question, are you sick? Do you hate animals? Did they seem how hurt you as a child? Is that it?" Beast asked calmly.
"Shoot Her!" The Lady commanded. The man standing next to him was ready to shoot but suddenly he was sent flying back into a wall. Everyone stood there, terrified as the person didn't move.
His mind flashed back again...
He was in the center of the metallic arena that had one large light shining over it. He staggered a little, his body weakened from the lack of food, he looked around and saw the fear in their eyes. The audience were horrified, wanted to wipe his mouth as he felt something warm on his face. That was when he noticed his hands, his nails were extended, covered and dripping with blood, not his. The scent of blood was right in his nose.
Mama Tonka was yelling, trying to get her men into the arena to get him out of their before he sees...
Beast turned around...just before they could reach him...and there was a sight he could never forget. He looked down his bloody hands and he knew instantly that he did it. A Body was tore to shred, beyond recognition and...just screamed in pure horror while the audience applause.
"Shock him!" Mama Tonka ordered the men who were pulling out their tazers and...
End of mini flashback
Beast just smiled widely, showing his sharp canines were getting sharper, he pushed his hair out of his face and everyone paused in awe at such flawless face and the blush on his shy smiling face brightened to a happily twisted smile and his eyes widened to a pure look of wild madness like a hungry wolf looking at a herb of unprotected sheep.
"I greatly apologize. I do not know what is coming over me. Normally, I have so much control of myself. Seeing the blood you spilt makes me just...I do not know how to describe because...I do not think I can hold myself back." He let the kitten fall on the floor as his eyes were glowing and the power and lights were flickering.
"Shoot her, what are standing there for!" The woman ordered.
"No one enters our turf, no matter how hot ya are." A man came right at him, fired him right in the face. Beast's head went back and he stumbled back a little but everyone gasped as his head came back up and he shot the bullet out onto the ground. He front kick in the jaw and sent him flying right into a large overhead light. It sizzled and the whole arena turned into darkness.
Beast suddenly appeared before her, grabbing her by the neck, she pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the shoulder. The woman gasped as this person just shrugs off the injury. Pulling the knife out with its free hand, standing over her with those malice glowing purple eyes.
"LET HER GO FREAK! DROP HER!" The men surrounded them, pointing their guns.
"The cops have been called...for your sake. I hope, they get here in time." His nails extended until they looked like claws, dropping the woman. His shadow started to stretch longer, his knuckles, neck and back popped as he got bigger, "I try not to let my family see this...I do not wish them to see. My Little Brother may cry...but you can handle it. Right?" His shadow got bigger and everyone gasped at what they were seeing. The woman was gasping in pure terror as those glowing eyes were reflecting her.
"You think you are tough...You think you know darkness, pain and suffering, that it is your friend? Oh my dear, You merely adopted the darkness in your heart. Now you shall now meet someone who was born in it, molded by it. Let us compare, which is more terrifying."
Gun shots started to fired and screams could be heard.
Buttercup pulled out clothes after clothes until she pulled out what she thought would be perfect enough. She put on a yellow crop-top but she scoffed as she was so flat, she sighed in despair as her courage to wear just this faded from her lack of a figure.
She opened her closet and after several tries she put on a small slim lime green hoodie, leaving it unzipped at the bottom, leaving her belly button exposed. She grabs denim shorts with fur around the bottom edges (courtesy of Bubbles) and brown below-the-knee flat boots. She didn't have any jewelry, just silver hoops.
She put her white belt on, just in case of emergencies. She grabbed a small package wrapped in orange paper and stuffed it into her bag.
"No hats." She felt naked without one but she vigorously brushed and even flat iron to make it look less spiky, but that didn't work too well. She grabbed so make up and put on a little eye liner and water and sweat proof mascara (which was the only one she had and Bubbles gave her), trying not to stab herself in the eye with it...again.
"I think Bubbles would be proud." She was about to take a selfie and send it in the group text.
"OMG You're so cute!" Blossom replied first with heart emojis
"You still look like a stork." Brianna commented.
"Ya know what!" Buttercup sent an angry emoji.
"Going on a date with Danny, you'll make him swoon, don't forget the Berry splash lip gloss." Bubbles texted
Belle just had a tongue emoji.
"Belle!" Blossom text
"Knock him dead." Brianna text.
"Gotta go." Buttercup text, "Wish me luck."
"You'll do great, text us what happened." Blossom text back.
Belle sent a text of a Bunny
She looked at herself in the mirror, "You can do this."
She brushed her hair again, grabbed her skateboard, cross body bag, and set out. Luckily Dave wasn't around to make fun of her but her dad was. He was looking at some papers, when he looked up at her. She was hoping to say bye and just run out.
"Buttercup, where are you going looking like that?" He asked, sitting at the table with a glass of water.
"Oh...Uh...out with..my friends." She gave him a force wide smile, her father nearly fainted when she shouted that she was dating someone.
"Oh yes, don't get sick. It looks like it could rain soon." He said, he sighed placing the paper down, "Buttercup...About your Mom-"
She groan loudly, "Dad, do we gotta talk about her?"
"I just want you two to get along. You've barely spoke a word and you're just avoiding her now."
"Well she starts it, with her snide comments and hurtful remarks. I made a mistake but...she keeps throwing it in my face." Buttercup looked away like she was about to cry.
"What happened to Sam wasn't your fault? We all just been really stressed out, but your brother is breathing on his own now. I just want the two most important ladies in my life ta stop hatin' each other."
She groan loudly, giving in to his request, "Ok, I'll try."
"That's my girl." He patted her on the head, "Don't break your curfew."
"I won't. Hey you did get Danny's application through right?"
"It will take a few more days but one word from me and he's in the bag. Not that I like him."
"Dad, c'mon."
"It's a father's duty to hate any man that he doesn't think deserve his Baby girl. When is he gonna come over and fight me?"
"Eh soon, maybe. Gotta go." Buttercup rushed out the door.
The Masked Wonder winced a little, he held his arm, taking out some prescription that he placed on his lap. He placed them there when he heard a door opening, he didn't want anyone to see. He took a pill and drank a sip of water. He pulled the paper back up and looked in despair as three credit cards were maxed out, and a bank account was overdrawn by the 1000s.
He groan seeing these bills. What was he going to do with all this
Buttercup was on the street, with her ear phones in, music blaring as she was riding down the sidewalk.
She just started singing, just busy in the beat, excited and her adrenaline in her body hyped her that she was singing so much louder than she thought she was.
(I don't own this song, it's called Waka Waka by Shakira)
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and back in the saddle
You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious we're getting closer, this isn't over
Her eyes were glowing, so into the song. Anyone who heard her voice, were upbeat, even the most gloomiest 9 to 5 business worker that heard her voice suddenly started walking with such energy and pride even a few were dancing.
The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it
She grind down the rail and was at the park. She took off the ear phones, her face was blushing as she was excited. She stood in front of the fountain, ready.
She looked at herself in the reflection, fixing her hair again.
While she was waiting, she looked at her phone, thinking about texting her Mom. She is willing to get along with her for her Dad's sake.
She sighed as she just didn't know what to text.
"I just want things to be the way they were." She said to herself. The memories of when she was young to just a few months ago...life was good. Her home life, no matter how bad the criminals were and the battles at least she had a loving family to get back home too. Then she messed up big time, her dad keeps telling her it wasn't her fault. If only she just wasn't so irresponsible...she sighed, biting her lip.
She looked at herself in the reflection and slapped herself on the cheeks.
"Now's not the time for that. Let's focus on that later." She pep talk to herself, she pulled out some lip gloss she borrowed from Bubbles, it was called Berry splash, a mixture of light purple and pink sparkle lip gloss. She had been dating Danny officially for a month and two weeks now. She smiled in delight as she was going to take her first step in their relationship. She had practice and watched youtube videos on kissing for a week now. She was going to give him her first kiss.
"This time, I'm gonna get my first kiss." She blushed at the thought of it, she took a deep breath to try and calm herself down, "It's no big deal. No need to go all Blossom." She tried to seem indifferent but a goofy smile on her face refuse to disappear.
She was debating whether she should give her his gift when he comes or during or after their second official date. She saved half her allowance and some of her savings she put aside for a new skateboard for it.
"It's just my...first kiss...no big deal." She repeated again, looking down, thrilled.
An hour would passed, the sky started to darken, the clouds were rolling in and the wind was picking up.
"He better not have forgotten." Buttercup growled as she pulled out her phone and called Danny.
Bubbles got back home, she was beyond disheartened as she lost another job. She got some free food for her troubles so at least she didn't have to eat noodles tonight. She went to the mail box to take out the mail. A tray was on the porch, from the meals on wheels for her Grandma. A bowl of rice, bean sprout salad, spinach namul, miso soup with spinach, tofu and mushrooms and dried baked salmon, all wrapped tightly with plastic. She walked in, taking off her shoes and putting on some house shoes. Sakuri (The Home aide) was vacuuming the rug in the living room while watching her stories, she was late 30's, she was very kind and patient with a nice white scrubs and her hair tied in a tight bun.
"Thanks you for your help." Bubbles bowed her hand as Sakuri left soon after. Bubbles placed the meals on wheel food in the fridge. She looked at the mail, all were bills, disconnection notice from the electric company, water bill, and internet. Bubbles was able to pay off all them just barely at least for a month, But she only had 20 dollars left and there wasn't any food in the fridge.
Bubbles dialed a phone number but she got the voice mail once more. She's been trying to get in touch with her parents for two weeks now.
"Hey Dad, it's Bubbles. You must be busy, really really busy. I'm sorry to keep calling but I could really use your help. Grandma could use your help. Please call me." Bubbles hung up and wanted to cry as she felt the despair crushing her. She didn't know what else to do, she didn't want to bother her friends or let them know how bad things were. Buttercup was going on her official second date. She was just so tired of being hungry. She looked down at her phone, she remembered that link that Belle sent her.
Two weeks earlier
Bubbles confronted Belle about it
"About the job?" Bubbles asked while Belle was at her locker.
"Have you apple it yet?" Belle had an excited look and was giggling.
"Apple...you mean apply? No."
Belle slouched her shoulders and pouted, "Why not?"
"Because I don't know, I mean, It says that I go to someone's place and clean, cook and make sure they taken care of, three days a week from 9am to 5pm and...and...make sure they take their meds and take out the dog" She was reading the description.
"What's wrong, you're good at those things and look at the pay." Belle pointed.
"Wait...I think it increased. This has to be a hoax."
"Nope, Cross my heart and wanna fly, don't stick me with a needle I could cry." Belle whimpered, then she hit her head on her locker, Mina opened it up.
"You're saying it wrong, It's cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye."
"Why would I wanna die...or stick a needle in my eyes, sounds so painful...Bunny would stick a needle in someone else's eye." Belle nodded agreeing with herself, "No Bubbly Poo Bear, it's for you...you've gotta fill out for it before it gets taken." Belle smiled as Mina and Pumpkin Head Jack transformed into her bag and she skipped down the hall to Blossom and Brianna, but glared at Danny and Buttercup and got in between them. She hissed at Danny and hugged Buttercup tightly and kicking at Danny.
"Belle stop it!" Blossom shouted, trying to pry Belle off of Buttercup.
Bubbles filled out the application right there before she joined the others and help pry Belle off of Buttercup.
End of Mini flashback
Bubbles sighed as she didn't get a response yet, she put the phone in her pocket and went into her Grandma's room, making sure to have her smile on her face; but her grandma was sleeping soundly in her futon, so Bubbles just closed the door, not knowing that her Grandma was really up, crying softly as she was there to hear Bubbles' pleading to her father to call.
Bubbles went for a bath to get the grease smell off. She washed up beside the tub in the bathroom. She rinsed herself off and got into the tub. She let the hot steamy water comfort her sore body from working. She put on some of her pajamas, just so she could have something to wear around the house, she grabbed her food and was going in her room to eat. She heated her Spicy Black Bean Burger and fries. She sat in front of her desk and got on her laptop.
"I'm going to find another job." She said to herself, keeping her spirits up. Maybe even watch some cooking videos on youtube, she just had to stay positive. She enjoyed her burger and the fries were still crispy and salty, she wish she could have more. She watched on Youtube as people were eating a deep dish of pizza with pineapple and she could practically smell it through the screen. She watched a woman making nori and cheese tamgoyaki and drizzled some mayo on it.
"I don't even remember when I had mayo." She sighed in relief as her burger had delicious Japanese mayo. She sighed as she was full for the first time in a week. She yawned satisfied. She leaned on one arm and watched the screen, her eyes slowly closing.
"Buttercup is going to give Danny her first kiss, I gave mines a long time ago."
"You wanna...try?" Someone asked her, blushing.
"You...and...me..."She looked at him confused.
"You're right, it's stupid!" The figure quickly said, embarrassed.
"No..No...it's fine, "She blushed looking down at the water, "I mean...if you don't mind."
"No...eh...No." He leaned forward with a gulp.
She gulped too, her lips clenched tightly and then she just...
Her Phone went off, snapping her out of her memory. She jumped up and answered it, hoping it was her dad. Her phone didn't recognize the caller ID but her Dad could be calling from his secretary's phone.
"Hello?" She answered politely.
"Hello, is this Ms. Bubbles Goto-"
The voice was low and there seem to be a lot of noise in the background but she did hear her name and and the first part of her last name.
"Yes, this is she?" She wondered who's this was, it sounded familiar but yet it wasn't, she didn't sense any malice or anything bad really, so she sighed in relief.
"Good, I am pleased that I caught you, I am Mr. Bates. I Apologize for the background noise and the delay, I have been extremely busy. I have been making my way down through the applications and I was curious about yours."
Her eyes widened as she slowly recognize that this was about the maid Job, "Oh...oh yes. I'm sorry, I didn't know you would call or anything."
"Yes well, I thought it would be better to hear your voice. Sometimes I can tell about a person when I hear how they speak, helps me pick carefully sometimes."
"Yes...yes, "She sat straight up and cleared her throat, like she was preparing for an interview face to face.
"I do have a few questions about your applications and resume. It seems like you have had quite a lot of employers and do not seem to stay at a job no more than a couple of weeks? Why is that?"
Bubbles was taken back by this, none of the other managers have ever asked her that so quickly, she cleared her throat, trying to figure out a way to answer the question without sounding so conceited, "Well, I will just be honest with you, Mr. Bates. I've had trouble with my co-workers. I don't want to sound...bad but my co-workers had a problem with me."
"Can you elaborate a little more?"
"I did my job too well and made them look bad."
"I see...but at every job." He continued, there was a sudden sound of a lot of talking, "Excuse me, I apologize once more, I am in a loud crowd, please continue."
"Many are personal reasons too that I can't really go into."
"That is ominous."
"I'm sorry." Bubbles was disheartened as she thought for sure that she lost her chance.
"But your references have been impeccably. Your Past Employers all gave you glowing references that perhaps it is your co workers who had the problem. The reason why I am asking such a question is the job. It does involve cleaning at a Luxury apartment, you can understand why I must pick carefully."
"Yes...yes I do." Bubbles nodded, she was so nervous.
"It also requires to be taking care of a person to a certain degree. Not medical or anything, except they must take their medications but I do not wish to frightened you. You just need to cook his meals but that is mostly it. The job is 9am to 5pm, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I see from your birthday and year. You are still in school? If I give you this job, How will you be able to work?"
"My high school has a special program for students who meet a certain criteria, to be able to take time off to work. They have online classes and even some night classes for those who can't make it to day clases."
"And you meet this criteria?"
"Yes, I take care of my grandma, and I'm the only one to work, so my teachers and Principal are very understanding and so are my friends who give me notes and some of my classes are online."
"How are you with animals?"
"I love them." She said.
"Even better because I am willing to give you a trial run. Think of it as a probation period, I am sure you have heard of those."
Bubbles was ecstatic to hear that, but she kept herself calm and mature as if he was sitting in front of her, "Thank you, thank you so much. Oh, but I need proof of this job for my school, or they will need you to talk to the Principal."
"Of course, when can you start work?"
" Monday."
"Even better, I shall leave you the application so we can have it in paper and we can describe things a little better like if you want direct deposit, or paid in cash, whichever you want. It's biweekly pay. I will suggest you wear free moving clothes. There shall be a list on chores but I am sure once you see the place, you will know what you need to do."
"Ok...and thank you so much Sir, thank you." Bubbles was on the verge of tears.
"I will text you the address. See you Monday."
Bubbles hung up but she started jumping around. Next week, she was going to have a new job. She threw herself on the bed and rolled around. She sent a group text.
Back to Beast
"I will text you the address. See you Monday." Beast released his pinched nose, blushing embarrassed that he had to do that. He sat on the sidewalk, as the criminals were being put into cop cars, covered in blood, bruises, claw marks and shivering in terror. Beast had the kitten on his lap, biting his finger.
"H-H-He's a monster!" One of the man cried, "AN ANIMAL!"
"We have to take this one to the psych ward, he's losing his shit man." One of the cops whispered.
"I am so please you got here in time. Who knows what could have happened if you did not show." Beast smiled sweetly, blushing as the kitten meowed loudly.
The dogs were being put in cages in a truck.
"Please take good care of the poor things, they've been through a lot."
One of the animal control man blushed at seeing this gentle smile, "Of course 'Ma'am', they'll be taken to a new no kill shelter called Second Chance."
Beast smiled as he knew that shelter well. He pulled out his phone, texting someone, then he took a selfie of the Kitten and sent it to a group chat.
"Is he not the sweetest little thing? Look at his precious little birthmark." Beast text.
"Ahhh precious Kitten, it looks like it has a star it's forehead." Blitz had heart emoji.
"It looks evil." Butch text, "Demon Cat."
"You're adopting another pet?" Brick text
"If not, can I have it?" Boomer text
"No, I am not adopting him and he is not a demon. He is perfect. I will find someone to love him." Beast text, he held the kitten up who was still chewing on his hand. (I'm sure you guys recognize recognize the kitten.)
Back to Buttercup
She left a few messages. She congratulated Bubbles on finding a job. The wind was really picking up, but she didn't want to leave, not until he responded.
The sky was rumbling, she sighed as she grabbed her skateboard, about to leave, when her phone rung, she saw who it was and growled in fury.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" She snapped at Danny instantly.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Starlight!" Danny cried out.
"Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting, an hour! A F*UCKIN HOUR!"
"Babe, honey, Starlight of my life, please it's not my fault-"
"What's the excuse now?"
"My Grandpa is in surgery."
"Oh." Buttercup's body slump down as her rage was instantly gone, "I thought he got better."
"We thought so too, I just don't know what to do." Danny sniffed, holding back his tears, "My Dad said he just fell over, clenching his chest. It could be a small heart attack."
"Oh no...that's terrible."
"He called out to me, I just had to go. Look I'm sorry-"
"No, no, it's ok. Which hospital are you at? I can stay with you again-"
"No No, I just don't want you to see me like this." Danny was crying really hard that he could barely speak the rest of the words.
"I'm so sorry. I hope everything works out. Keep me in touch. I don't mind coming to the hospital." She hung up after he did. She really should be there with him.
Danny hung up and placed his phone on the side, he was in a love hotel with a girl. A blonde hair girl came out of the bathroom, from just taking a shower and wrapped up in a towel, revealing her shapely body and large bust.
"Who was that?" She asked playfully jumping on the bed and saddled onto of him.
"Oh just an annoying cousin. She calls me all the time ta hang out with her."
"Oh really, maybe you should hang out with your cuz." She laughed.
"And miss this chance to be with my Sunburst, no way." He flipped her on top, he leaned down and kissed her.
Buttercup skated down the sidewalk as the drops were heavy and the rain fell like hard nails. She was drenched in seconds. She jumped off her skateboard and rushed underneath a tent of a building. She shivered as the rain was flooding at her feet, soaking her boots. She rushed inside the building, surprise that it was a restaurant. A man appeared at the podium and gave her a cynical look.
"I'm sorry Ma'am but we're closed. Someone must've forgot to lock the door. Please see yourself out."
She looked around, confused for a second, "Eh sorry. I'm not interested in eatin'. I'm just tryin' ta get out of the rain, could I use the bathroom, so I can dry off?" Buttercup asked.
"You're soaking our carpet. Bathrooms are only for paying customers and we're closed."
"Are you sh-kidding me? Do you see how hard it's raining out there? You're not gonna let me dry off." She whined.
"I'm sorry Ma'am, we're closed."
"What does that have ta do with letting me dry off and stay for a minute. Look out there, It's crazy!" She snapped. The rains were coming down badly, it could be heard pounding on the roof top.
One of the other employees came down the steps and whispered, "What is going on down here? The Manager said No one is allowed in."
"Someone must've left the door unlocked and she came in and she won't leave." The Host gave the Manager a forced smile and nudged at Buttercup's direction.
"I'm sorry Ma'am but please we ask that you must leave."
"So I can't just stay just for a minute."
"Normally we wouldn't mind but we've been given strict orders not to let anyone in. Here, have some vouchers for free meals for this inconvenience." The manager offered.
She sighed, taking the vouchers, she was about to prepare to run.
A figure stood at the top of the steps, coming down slowly, "What's going on here?" A deep voice spoke.
Buttercup froze
She slowly turned around and looked up. A Dark forest green eye looking down at her and the body they belong to was standing right in front of her, smiling.
"I'm sorry Sir, she is leaving."
"Well well...if it isn't the pretty stranger that's dating that annoying Douche because he's got muscles. A rare treat. Why don't you join me...at my table? Poor thing, she's soaked, bring her a towel." The voice was calm but that aura was deadly and that half smile sickened her.
"No thanks, I'm leaving." She said hurriedly.
"I really insist. It's raining really bad out there. What kind of person would I be to let you out there. You must...stay." His eye flashed green as he grabbed her by the arm. To the employees, it looked like a gentle grab, but for her, it was a tight grasp that she was familiar with.
"Back off! Don't touch me. They want me to leave and so I'm leavin'. I'll give my boyfriend Danny your regards." She snapped, Butch had a bitter taste in his mouth at the mention of Danny's name and boyfriend in the same sentence but he kept his calm compromise as always, turning on the charm. The Host and and The Manager were silent, standing with their heads bowed.
"Don't be too harsh on them, they do close after Lunch to prepare for the Dinner hour. Of course, sending a lady back out in the rain is pretty cruel but once again they were following my orders."
His dark forest green eye was scanning her body and looking right down those legs, "Beautiful and shapely as always. The finest pair of legs ever, only one person had those perfect womanly legs," Butch suddenly have a cruel half smile, he whispered into her ear, "Buttercup..."
She clenched her mouth tightly, she was terrified but she wasn't going to let him know that. She had to be strong, so she pulled out of his grip, "My legs are fine, up here."
"How unexpected to see you here but it's a wonderful surprise. Love the shorts." Butch said giving her a thumbs up as his dark aura made her feel sick.
She puffed her cheeks up, she pushed that feeling back and stood her ground, "I'm not scared of you. Or if you know who I am, I'm leaving and you can't stop-" Her stomach made a loud grumble that made her blush. She was so nervous about her second date and giving her first kiss to Danny that she didn't eat all day.
"Sounds like you're hungry, huh? Who am I ta let my Tiger starve, huh?" He gave her a sly half smile, she growl as he said that sickening nickname he gave her during their battles, "I let you dry off in the bathroom, I'll be waiting."
This was her worst nightmare, he knew who she was. Of course he did, Danny let it slip about her Father, and the way she snapped at him. The slip up about him grabbing her leg before. She cursed herself for being so stupid and careless.
She dried her hair with a towel. At least her mascara was ok but her eyes liner was down the corner of her eyes. She wiped them off, she used the Hand dryer to dry her jacket and her shorts.
"I just got to be strong and I can be. He doesn't scare me and I'm not going to let him." She walked out of the bathroom, confident, poking out with her non existent chest and walking in strides.
"This way Ma'am." One of the employees was escorting her through the restaurant. The restaurant was large there was two floors, Butch sitting at the top half. The bottom half had about five stove tops and had stools around them for guest to eat when chefs would cook in front of them, the second half just had different size of tables with chairs, fake bamboo decorate that made it look like some wild bamboo forest and some lovely print screen slide around the tables for privacy.
Butch was sitting at his table with three other man at the table. She was stunned for a second to see that there will be others with them. She thought they would be alone.
"I hope you guys don't mind a plus one to our little party." Butch teased as he finished his sucker, he pulled the chair next to him out and patted the chair, "Come, sit next to me with those fine pair of legs."
Buttercup grumbled as she sat down but she slid her chair a few inches from him.
"Are you sure it's ok to talk with the broad around?" One of the guys asked.
"Oh yes, "Butch answered then he looked at her, "She can keep a secret, can't ya Tiger?"
