It's been two weeks since we came back from London and this is when I finally got to be free because of how much I missed work because of the wedding. With the continuous meetings, and all the chaos I was so busy the last two weeks.
So I decided to spend this Saturday for myself and I had this craving to eat a chocolate fudge cake so I decided to make one for myself. I headed to the kitchen searching for the ingredients that I needed except for flour I couldn't find anything else and hence I concluded that we had to go grocery shopping. I walked up to Duncan's room standing right in front of the door I curled up my fingers to knock on the door.
I raised my hand and put it back down a couple of times. I can go by myself I thought turning around, I huffed walking back I hesitated for a second and finally knocked on the door.
In a couple of seconds, the door was wide open and there stood Duncan shirtless leaning against the door. My mouth was wide open gazing at his perfectly sculpted body, maybe he descends from the Greek gods, he is so perfect.
For once my mind was fast on its reflex shutting my mouth saving me from all the embarrassment.
“ Need something baby girl? ” he asked in a husky tone not helping my situation. I took a second to reboot my brain.
“ hmm, I wanted to bake a cake...but there are no ingredients, so I decided to go grocery shopping,” I said looking at him hoping he would figure the rest out.
But he looked at me quizzically, I sighed.
“ I mean could we go grocery shopping,” I said his mouth turned into an o in realization and then into a smile.
“ if you're busy I could go by myself,” I said turning back.
“I'll meet you down in ten minutes baby girl,” he said his smile evident in his voice.
“ Really,” I said turning back in excitement. He smiled, it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I walked towards my room to change into my joggers and a blue polo neck t-shirt my hair put into a neat ponytail along with my pink cap.
After around ten minutes I walked down Duncan was already waiting there leaning against the couch in black track pants and a green sleeveless t-shirt and a black playboy cap on his head.
He smiled standing up, we locked up the house walking out. We reached the grocery store which was about ten minutes from the house.
We walked in side by side through the aisle most of them were shamelessly checking out Duncan could I really blame them. They kept smiling at him and all he did was have a poker face it was so hard for me not to burst into laughter.
I tiptoed trying to reach his ears but failed miserably he smiled bending down “ you got a lot of attention from the ladies Mr. William ” I stated that grinning like a weirdo as I looked at all the jealous women. I wanted to tell them I had no problem if they wanted him he was all theirs.
“ I don't care about any of it I just care about this one person's attention,” he said staring right into my eyes.
“ Could I get it ?” he asked coming a little close I immediately walked away towards the end of the aisle, escaping. My face was hot from the small encounter.
I could hear him laugh, he likes putting me in these situations doesn't he crazy teddy bear.
I was searching for mayonnaise through the racks when I heard a girl laugh out loud what got my attention was it was flirty and directed towards Duncan. I moved back a little looking at them.
She moved closer to him as he was checking the sauce rack.
“ Could I help you handsome ?” she asked, Twirling her blue hair around her finger.
Duncan moved away not even giving a damn but the woman was quite persistent she kept following him around with her cart.
He walked right up to me standing next to me I chuckled a little enjoying the situation seeing him finally troubled and I was the one protecting him.
The blue-haired lady stood in front of me, looking me up and down.
“ hi there,” I said in a friendly tone.
“ Hi,” she said being nice. Duncan took the mayonnaise from my hand checking out the rack of different kinds of mayonnaise the one next to me.
“ I am Penelope, could I have your friend's number here,” she said looking at Duncan she was so confident and bold I really like her I wish I had at least half as much confidence as her.
“ hmm... If he doesn't have a problem ” I said. Suddenly I felt Duncan's lips on my cheek kissing me, my eyes widened in surprise. But not as much as the women in front of me, poor girl.
He stood up straight holding my hand.
“ huh...? ” she said pointing in between both of us.
“ This is my husband,” I said scared to break her.
She looked so embarrassed, while Duncan looked pleased.
“ Sorry,” she said walking away. I looked at him and busted out laughing like a maniac. As much as I felt bad for her I had my fun.
“ were you scared there? ” I said gently tapping his cheek.
I moved away walking laughing, with Duncan walking close to me maybe he learned his lesson. I had this newfound confidence in myself after protecting him.
I picked up two cans of milk, lifting them like I was a champion. Duncan stood a little back his hands in his pant pockets looking at how I was embarrassing myself.
I placed the cans back down flexing my arms this time “ see I am so strong ” I said in a manly voice.
“you're the strongest person I know my love,” he said with a playful smirk.
“ I'll protect you at all times you don't have to worry,” I said patting his back.
He smiled taking off his hat, running his hand through his hair his hands flexing my eyes widened looking at the huge biceps he was a hundred times stronger than me he could carry hundreds of cans of milk and wouldn't even huff, and here I was mocking him.
“ your alright baby girl?” he asked.
“Completely! ” I said walking ahead.
We walked towards the billing counter, there were two piles of items one was the completely healthy one with all the veggies, eggs, meat, butter. The other the complete opposite with all the chocolates, ice cream, cookies. Showing exactly what the inside of our bodies is filled with. The guy at the counter had a meh face, with the look on his face we could see how uninterested he was in this job.
“ your bill is sixty-three fifty,” he said checking his phone.
“ here you go,” I said placing the card on the counter.
Duncan placed his next to mine “ let me get this ”.
“ oh come on Mr. William don't have to be all testosterone,” I said handing the card to the boy.
“ she's smart,” the guy said handing us four whole bags of groceries I carried two bags walking ahead before Duncan protested.
************************************
I stood in front of the counter as Duncan leaned against it his hands over his chest looking at me trying to sort out the ingredients.
“ so first I would need two and a half cups of flour,” I said trying to remember where I saw it.
“ the cabinet above you,” he said.
“ thank you! ” I said slightly bowing down.
“ let me get it for you,” he said reaching his hand out.
“ no nope, I'll do it by myself,” I said he moved back slightly nodding his head.
I tippy-toed trying to reach the glass jar, I tried holding it but I tilted the jar the flour falling all over me turning me into a white mess. Duncan busted into laughter, I huffed in annoyance placing my hands on my hips glaring at him hoping to be intimidating. For some reason, he found it amusing. I took a large amount of flour in my hands throwing it all over him. I started laughing so hard.
He was caught off guard.
“ you did not,” he said nodding his head trying to get off the extra four.
“ yes I did,” I said sticking my tongue out.
“you're in so much trouble baby girl," he said slowly striding towards me. I slowly stepped back.
“ am I,” I said running upstairs, I ran into his room he wouldn't think I would get into his room I ran towards the couch sitting behind it covering myself.
My heart thumping from all that running. I could hear footsteps out of the door.
I placed a hand on my mouth so that he couldn't hear my drastic breathing.
The footsteps started fading, I peeked from the couch. I slowly stood up seeing that he wasn't there I dusted my hands.
I looked at my waist as I saw Duncan's hand snaking around it.
He gently turned me around making me face him.
“ got you,” he said. I puffed my cheeks in annoyance. How could he be so perfect at everything?. I turned my face to the other side not wanting to look at him. He gently held my jaw turning it to face him.
“ is my baby girl angry? ” he asked pulling me closer to him I could feel every part of his body against mine the rise and fall of his chest the hard muscles, the six-packs on his toned stomach.
He held me in his lap sitting on the couch. “ it's my turn now ” he said slow and husky.
“ you got no flour,” I said sticking my tongue out. He came closer his face inches apart he moved his cheek over mine rubbing all the flour over my cheeks and my neck. Coating me with flour.
He leaned back with a lop-sided smirk. I touched my cheek looking at my fingers coated in flour.
“you're such a crazy teddy bear ” I shouted messing his hair.
He was laughing out loud trying to hold my hands.
He stopped me holding me “ what did you just call me ?” he asked with amusement-filled eyes.
“ I called you a crazy teddy bear,” he said challengingly.
“ oh really,” he asked.
“ Yup,” I said popping the p.
“ you know what a teddy bear can do?” he asked with one eyebrow raised.
“ Hmm, what ?” I asked. He flipped me over the couch leaning over me he started tickling I started laughing so hard, my tummy hurting due to all the laughter.
“ Duncan please stop....” I said laughing as he continued tickling.
“ haha hah.....your such...huh...bad....teddy haha bear,” I said between laughter. He stopped for a second letting me breathe.
“ you know what else can a teddy bear do ?” he asks mischief-filled in his eyes.
“ something that won't get him killed,” I said.
“ hmmm...no,” he said attacking my face placing kisses all over it.
My whole face turning red, my heart beating so loud I was worried if he could hear it.
He moved back balancing himself over me with his hands. Looking right at me the smile still intact on his face. He gently caressed my cheek saying.
“ My pretty baby girl, I could be anything for you even your teddy bear”.
