Theo Mcdonough

The small bungalow was situated in the outskirts of the town.

It was a perfect hideout till everything died down.

The house belonged to him; he'd bought it with the first money he'd ever made for himself.

He came there to relax whenever he was feeling not so good.

The atmosphere was very serene; there was a farm behind the house.

The bungalow contained two bedrooms and there was no electricity or signal around there.

But there were lots of groceries in the kitchen and farm.

He heard a car pull up.

Peaches.

He smiled.

Peaches had turned out to be an ally; turns out he had offended the master or whatever they called him.

He could buy Peaches protection through his father, once the master found out that Peaches was under the protection of the captain, well everything would be dissolved he hoped.

The door flew open and he saw Allison standing there her hair was disheveled and her dress was dirty, but she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Well, come in" 

Peaches announced making them break their stare.

After torturing the hell out of Peaches he told him where Allison was being kept but they had a plan b incase plan A didn't go well.

Plan B was Peaches sneaking his way into the building and taking some of the men down silently on his way to Allison, while Theo would've opened the door to Allison's room so Peaches would escape with her.

It would be dark and most of the men would be asleep or tired.

Some, where even sleeping as he walked out of the building, they weren't expecting an escape, amateurs.

Allison hugged him so tight that he started gasping for breath.

"How did you escape?" 

"It's a long story" 

Peaches answered and he glared him.

"We have to call my dad" 

She suddenly announced.

"It's okay, he's in on it" 

He answered her.

"Um! Why are we here?" 

She asked again.

"Because you guys are on the wanted list of some very bad guys. Walking on the streets of Forchia even with a hundred bodyguards will be very disastrous to your life" 

Peaches answered again as he took a bite out of an apple.

"Peaches, don't you have somewhere to be?" 

He asked Peaches as he faked a smile.

"Oh yeah, my flight" 

Peaches ran out of the house.

"So how long are we going to be here alone?" 

She asked, maybe it was just his imagination but he caught a hint of seduction in her voice.

"Your room is the one of the left and there are clothes in the closet

. You look like you need a shower" 

He announced and walked into his room closing the door behind him.

They'd stayed there for three days now; he would get a visit from Xavier if it was okay to leave.

He'd managed to avoid Allison and she played along; he cooked, washed and cleaned.

He sighed as he jumped out of his bed it was 06:04 PM, time to cook dinner.

He walked into the kitchen to see Allison washing something in the sink.

"What are you doing?" 

He asked and she jumped.

"You scared me" 

She sighed and held her chest.

"I'm cooking" 

She announced.

He chuckled and stopped when he saw her face.

"Oh? You're serious" 

He lamented.

"Hell yeah I am. I found some recipes here, it shouldn't be that hard" 

She rested a hand on her hip and peered into a sheet of paper in her hand.

"Okay?" 

He said unsure of what to say, he turned around to leave her to it.

"One quick question, how do I light this stove?" 

She asked. Great.

"You!" 

He wanted to tell her what to do but changed his mind and decided to light the stove for her.

"Thanks" 

She beamed.

He stood around, he didn't want to leave her alone she might hurt herself or burn down the house.

"Stop hovering around me. I got this" 

She said confidently and pushed him out of the house.

####

He checked his wristwatch. 07:48 PM.

He lit the candles around the house.

He was a little bit calm at least he had not heard an explosion from the kitchen yet.

"Dinner is served" 

She chirped.

"What took you so long?" 

He smiled as he sat down to eat, he was starving.

His smile faded as soon as he set his eyes on the burnt offering that layed in a plate before him.

"And this is supposed to be.?" 

He asked waiting for her to complete his statement.

"Spaghetti Bolognese" 

She beamed.

"What did you do to it?" 

He teased, whatever was in the plate before him was definitely not spaghetti.

He sighed, he should've cooked.

"You don't like it?" 

She asked, her expression dulled.

"Um- no I like it. I'll eat now" 

He said not wanting to hurt her feelings, he dug his fork into what looked like cooked strands of burnt mop head; he lifted the fork into his mouth it didn't taste any better.

It tasted like she'd added all the kitchen's spices and lime into it.

It was horrible.

He tried his best not to scrunch his face as he chewed through the whatever.

"I guess I'm a natural in the kitchen. I'll go get my plate" 

She beamed and skipped into the kitchen.

He quickly spit the chewed food in his mouth into a napkin, he didn't want to know what would happen if the food entered his stomach.
