《Guns and Giggles》16. Crumbles and Carnivals

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
We were back home and awkwardly parted ways to our own bedroom even though I wanted to have an action replay of what we did on the drive back, but I don't think my hoohaa could handle it. Even Alex seemed a little reluctant to let go.
I couldn't help but feel erry as if someone was watching me when we came through the doors of this mansion. The same feeling had the hair on the back of my neck stand when I left a small peck on Alex's lips and walked back to my room.
Maybe it was the soul of the man I just killed wanted to see me one last time and probably put a curse on me. Yeah I got to stop watching Supernatural at night.
Suddenly I felt a person come up behind me! Thinking it was Alex I smiled a little but what I did not expect was a hard knock on my head that made my vision go out.
Just before I lost all conscious my hand slipped in the intruder's hair to defend myself but I lost all my energy. As I was falling down I grabbed what seemed to be a boob as I heard the 'girl' say "You don't belong here! He's mine b!+&π"
~•~
I woke up feeling fluttery in my stomach and really relaxed but it was really difficult to move my limbs. Opening my eyes was somehow the impossible and all I saw was colours on my eyelids.
Wait...colours... relaxed... fluttery... WHO THE HECK DRUGGED ME?
After a few tries I successfully brought my fingers up to my mouth and tried to make myself nauseous so that some of the drug's effect would wear off. One good thing about my special training was that I now have a high tolerance to drugs.
While people won't be able to move as if in a trance, I can think properly and get small things done. Brain is so amazing.
I finally opened my eyes and I looked down to find out I'm a- a Bread? I'm a slice of Bread! What kind of drug is this!
Well shit I gotta get out before someone eats me!
I looked around to find out I was in some kind jail room with a door that I went to open and everything was moving slowly around me. The door slowly opened and a Butter knife entered followed by a Toaster grumbling some things.
I moved my bread legs diagonally walking as fast as I could go smacking the butter knife's head. The toaster tried to grab me and let me tell you it was the most horrifying moment! A toaster was walking towards me with it's arms stretched out and red light flashing on its body.
I slipped away from him and locked the door from outside, I even put some small spoons that I suppose were chairs to secure it.
I got out of the warehouse like area and ran into the needle like grass feild which was cutting me leaving little bread crumbs. Bread crumbs? Suddenly my weird brain remembered Finding Dory and blood rushed in my body making panic! Did Dory ever find her parents?! Somehow through the panic I picked up the crumbs a.k.a. I'm assuming it's my clothes and ran into the road.
Can't. Concentrate. Anymore....
I fell to the ground losing control of my limbs but I knew I had to reach atleast the sidewalk so that someone could save me. I crawled towards the road, finally understanding how Jordan Belfort felt in 'Wolf of the Wall street'.

I see a pack of bread on wheels whooshing past me and I stretch my bread arm with all of my energy and released a bread cry.
I was crumbling internally but as soon as I saw the loaf back up and some slices get out to help I let sleep take over me.
~•~
I woke up in heaven.
Not because everything was white but because I could feel the comfort of Alex's warm hands enclosing mine. So much affection? I got to be in heaven! Maybe I should get kidnapped more often!
Wait I was kidnapped??!!! Oli is going to kill me! I let my guard down and now my partner/ best friend is going to kill me. Amazing.
I tried to slide my hand out of his so I could escape but his hand tightened and he woke up with a jerk as if just getting out of a bad dream.
"Oh Thank God Ari you are awake! Are you hurt somewhere? The Doctor's couldn't find and internal bleeding but do you feel weird? I should call the Doctor!" he rushed to get up looking disheveled with his bed hair.
"Aaaah!" I screamed making him pause with wide eyes "hahahaahaaa!" I start laughing.
"Oh my God you hit your head didn't you?" He said with a sad face.
"Okay listen your name is Ariana, you are my fiancee and we have been together for 3 years-" he continues but I stopped him.
"No I didn't hit my head Mr. Fiance it's just the roles are reversed and I know how you feel, I felt the same way when I sprayed you! That was so funny!" I said with a giggle.
His mouth twitched for a smile but he shook his head and sat down in his chair leaving a long sigh.
I looked around me and started to pull out the IV, the weird tubes and started looking for my clothes, he stood up to stop me "Hey, Hey! What are you doing you need to rest!"
"I am looking for my clothes and we are leaving" preferably before the police comes to question me. I can't tell them that I was kidnapped because someone wanted to kidnap my fling's sister and my fling is actually involved in the Mafia.
"But why?"
"Because..." I released a frustrated sigh, I don't like lying to him.
"Because I'm afraid of Hospitals" I guess this is somewhat true, whenever I'm in a hospital that means I had to kill a lot of people who have innocent families that knew nothing about the criminals and now they have to fend for themselves.
"Oh! okay we will leave right now!" He helped me get ready, cringing at the cuts on my hands, while I tried hid my other scars.
~•~
We got in the car making our way to home.
"I think I should call home, everyone was worried that you ran away to the police but Alana was the only one who thought you were kidnapped and when we saw blood I-we panicked" he mumbled, his grip turning his knuckles white.
"Maybe we shouldn't go home just yet" I say looking out of the window. Should I just stop drop and roll out of this car? Or maybe drop Alex out and take his car? No he loves this car! Maybe hitchhike?

"Maybe we should go on a date" he said.
'Yes' I wanted to scream, that's exactly what I want to do!
"There's no denying that we have a good sexual drive for each other" he said.
"And we are quite similar" I nod and he peeks at me.
"And we were quite a good fake couple" he adds.
"We both like chocolate" I put it out as if it's the most important point.
"We both like chocolate" he smiled facing me.
I smile back feeling all fluttery in my stomach again but I know it's a different kind of drug.
"What should we do for our first date?" I turn to him with a smile on my face and tuck my legs under me.
"It's amazing what you can do with two fingers and a thumb" he smirked.
"In broad daylight in a car!" I gasped.
"I'm talking about bowling" he laughed as if expecting this reaction.
I don't think that's a good idea with probable broken ribs.
I see a poster land ride on the windshield of the car saying 'Carnival'.
We both see it and smirk to each other.
"Carnival it is."
~•~
She was like a moth attracted to light.
We had tried a lot of games and a lot of food! She said something about always missing the carnival whenever she visited the city.
Her disappearance was the last straw. It took me endangering her life to realise I had feelings for her. I was just so glad I found her before someone else could do something to her.
I had to deal with my feelings alone while she was unconscious. If I told any of the guys they would probably just scoff or try to kill me because they knew my history with girls and she had already won them over with her charm. I couldn't tell my sister because I have seen her when Zayn Malik's breakup was announced. It was scary.
I just hoped she felt the same. I knew she would be the perfect person for me. So when she said something about not going back, I just blurted out about going on a date.
Although I was hoping I could avoid all that dating stuff and just live with her forever when she started laughing like crazy making me think she hit her head and lost all her memory.
I just couldn't hold myself back anymore. I wanted to see her smile, feel her warmth, her little moans after tasting deep fried snacks. This would all be creepy if I just had an attraction to her. But I knew I wanted more and this date was the first step of many.
I think she realised I was behaving different and being more open with her but she just smiled more and kissed me. This was how we communicated. And I loved it.
I was really enjoying our first date. He was being overly romantic and my life felt really normal and cliché. But if this was normal I wouldn't mind a few of this stuff.
But as soon as I turned around to look for more food, the cliché part came in. There he was standing in all his 6'2 glory. Oliver McQueen my bossy partner/ best friend. He was so- big and muscular and bright and- unique that I never understood how he got the job of being undercover. Although a visit from your best friend should be all rainbows and unicorns I knew Oli's visit wouldn't be anything like that.
I made up an excuse to leave for a few minutes as I went to Oli.
Oliver is the guy who's an adult- you know. Like I know I am an adult, but sometimes I need an adult, like someone whose successful at adulting, an adulter adult.
He had a wife and a 6 month old daughter so he was a pretty good adult. It was also shocking to see him here because he was supposed to be on leave, taking care of his wife and daughter.
As he was the best agent in like- the whole country, when he asked for a One Year holiday he was granted that. I was his apprentice of sorts that's why he would always taunt me to make me better. And bribe me with the advantages of his position he got with all his hardwork.
"Sup Arrow!" I squealed knowing he hates when I call him that. But what can I say if he just didn't have the 'Mc' in McQueen he would be exactly like the Green Arrow- Oliver Queen.
"They have decided to cancel your suspension early seeing you gave them their Christmas gift early." He rolled his eyes and ruffled my hair.
Ah the man from the Ball.
And for once I didn't want to go back. I felt hot at the thought of leaving everything I had here. Blood rushed to my brain giving me goosebumps.
"I don't want it." I said.
"What?"
"I don't-" "I heard you the first time, I want to know why?" He interrupted.
"I just-" I want more time with the guys, Alana and most importantly Alex. It wouldn't be right about leaving him after the first date. "I'm on my own mission here and I need more time." I looked up.
He looked behind me where Alex was getting impatient and looked back down, "What mission? Getting kidnapped?" He sighed. "Just- Just talk to me alright, I don't want you to go MIA on me, and do whatever you want but analyze the consequences first." He warned. The last part clearly intended for Alex.
I smiled and hugged him tight. He understood. He awkwardly patted my back and told me in a more quirky tone "Lucy would be jealous of you right now" he laughed.
"Of course she would be! No 6 month old baby girl wants to be without her father and miss out on a carnival!" I laughed too. She was so cute and her doll like eyes that would go wide by two things- One when her father picked her up and Two when she saw a lots of colourful lights. I would know I am her God mother after all.
"See ya!" He smiled and kissed my cheek before disappearing into the bright lights and I turned back to Alex.
I jumped on him and kissed him right in front of the giant wheel knowing our time was limited now and I had to make the best of it.
