Chapter 4: Finally Out!
It was 5 o'clock in the morning on a cloudy day in mid-December. However to Choko it has only felt like she'd been there a few weeks. L kept her up so much all of her days seemed to be melding together. She hadn't slept in 1 month, not decently anyway. However this one day she was crankier than usual/
"You ignorant ass!" Choko screamed at L while he prepared his morning coffee and stirred it with a small lollipop.
"May I ask what it is I've done?" he asked in that monotone voice that Choko had grown accustomed to.
"You sit there on your feet eat sugar and look at pictures! I'm so sick of the smell of sugar….my parents own a restaurant that sell mostly sugar but never in my life have I ever felt so intoxicated by the smell of sugar!" she screamed while he stomped into a room.
"Why are you so angry today?" L asked as he opened the door to her room.
"Kept tabs on me my ass." Choko uttered while she laid face down on her bed, and started to sob.
"Come on get up we're going out today." L uttered while he tugged on her arm in a happy manner.
Choko hopped up and changed into a black dress with black shoes and she put her hair up in a ponytail. L slipped on his tennis shoes and finished his coffee, and before Choko knew it they were driving around in a pink van with crepe making supplies inside (and no matter how humiliated she felt she was happy to be out of that small hotel room). L and her did so many things at first they went shopping, but for some reason L wore a mask over his face. They went to the mall first and L bought her everything she wanted from dresses to shoes to head bands. L seemed happy for a change and no matter what she asked for he felt more than happy t get it for her. Choko just thought it was a way for him to shut her up, but L knew it was because he wanted to see her smile, because for some reason her smile made his heart skip beats. After the mall L took her to this candy store that sold over 100 different types of chocolate. Even though she had yelled at him for all the candy he ate she seemed over joyed to be eating the chocolate bon bons he bought her while he munched on his chocolate covered strawberries. After that L took her to a movie shed been dying to see, even though he couldn't sit still he managed to control himself just for her.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you, I was just extremely upset and I felt cramped in that hotel room." Choko said in a sweet voice while she sipped her soda and looked into L's eyes.
She felt better for apologizing; and for a long moment she wondered what L would do if she kissed him. Every nerve in her body felt a sudden urge to press her lips against his. But in a sudden realization he'd never love her she resisted.
"It's ok Choko-bear, by the way I have something for you back at the hotel." He said in a happy voice then led her back to the van.
When they got back to the hotel he sat her down at the table and brought out a cake the size of an oven.
"Happy 19th birthday Choko!" he laughed and put a piece of cake on a plate in front of her.
