was

s only thirteen years, I didn't consider expenses like education, medical and dental. Nevertheless, I paid for everything I bought for myself, candy, movie tickets, clothing and the like. My parents actually complained, saying they wanted to spoil me now and then but when I had decided on something, I stuck with it. The only exceptions were on my birthdays and Christmases. The point was, I had a hard time accepting stuff like what Marshall and Riccardo offered, well with Riccardo, he was more demanding than offered. Either way, that wasn't something I could just shake off the sense that I was receiving something I hadn't earned. What was more, I felt I felt guilty over it and I told Marshall as much.

"I can understand that, you are independent and I like that about you. But can't you see that we just want to make this whole thing as easy as possible for you? Not only that but we like taking care of what is ours and we show that by buying stuff we think you might like among other things. It is who we are, we have enough money to go around and what we spend on you doesn't even make a dent. You are ours, Angelia. Please, let us take care of you as we know how." chest

My

keep tightening as he speaks, some emotions I didn't want to identify squeezed a piece of my heart. For now, I am theirs.

We drove to a restaurant that wasn't far from his house, the restaurant was some fancy, over the top place and I felt more relaxed there. No matter how much I love trying intercontinental food, this was where I belonged, in some old-fashioned pizza place with a lively voice coming from the people a few tables from our booth. Here, I was more in my element and I didn't fit in with the rich and powerful people no matter how fun it was to experience that world for a little while. "Mr. Blake?" A

Mr. ke?" A man in the restaurant's uniform walked towards us with a big smile on his face. He was a little older, maybe in his late forties.

"Good to see you again." He said and Marshal smiled.

"Leon, how many times have I told you to call me Marshall?" He said.

"Enough times for it to be ignored instead of forgotten." Leon replied, his eyes widened as they connected with mine.

"Who is this lovely lady?" He asked.

"Leon, this is Angelia, he is the owner of the restaurant." Marshall introduced us.

It is

a pleasure to meet you, miss. I will give you two a moment to look at the menu."

"It is nice to meet you too," I said, giving him a friendly smile which he returned. Opening the menu, I looked over at Marshall. "Why did he seem so surprised to see me?" I asked.

My question caught him off guard and he blushed, it was kind of cute seeing a dominant man like

It seems like a big deal since he had brought me here and I wanted to know why this restaurant was so special.

"So, is this your place then?" I asked, he looked confused about the question.

"I don't own this place or anything if that is what you mean." He said and I laughed.

"No, that wasn't what I meant. I have this theory, you see, everyone has a place where they feel Telaxed and at peace. It is somewhere they can seek refuge when they want to get away from all the noise." I explained. "And what you have concluded based on your theory?" He looked amused but not in the way that he was making fun of me and I shrugged..

"People I have come across, like Andy, his place is an arcade here in the city. Linda, the sweet. woman who owns the grocery store near my house, goes to a friend's house and drinks tea. A friend from my university has this small cafe near home. I got a lot of them but you get the gist, right?"

"In that case, yes, I suppose this is my place then. I found it when I started college and needed a break from writing this essay I was struggling with. This restaurant helped me relax and I went home that day ready to tackle that damn essay. So after that, I just kept coming back. We were not supposed to but I started bringing my homework with me and I sat in this same booth we were sitting now studying. Leon let me do that even when he probably lost money by keeping this table unavailable for other guests." He explained, smiling at the memory like it was something fond to remember.

I could picture it, a young Marshall sitting just where he was sitting now with his nose in a book and his eyes narrowed in concentration.

"What about you, what is your place?" He asked.

Why I always asked them questions to others, knowing I would get it in return, I would never understand. My place was heartbreaking yet peaceful, it was where I went when I wanted to be alone but wouldn't feel alone. "There is this beautiful park in my town that I went to once with my grandmother, she was...she had stage four breast cancer, stage four." My eyes were getting watery just by my talking about

her.

"She wanted to go and feed the ducks one last time." I smiled sadly, no matter how much time went by, that day would always bring that beautiful hurt of giving someone their last wish.

"She used to do it with my grandfather and when he died, I began going with her instead. After she got diagnosed, she underwent surgery and chemotherapy and didn't have the strength to them any more.." he reached over and grabbed my hand gently, engulfing mine in his. He kept quiet as I spoke, listening but never pushed.

"One day, she was so adamant she needed to go and feed them. It was really strange how decisive she suddenly was. She couldn't move on her own, she only managed to whisper when she talked but that day, it was like she had gained some strength from nowhere and wanted to use it to feed. some duck." I paused, taking in a deep breath.

"It would have been easier to get her to another park since it was closer to the hospital but she wanted to get away from the hospital if only for a little while. We found the park in Ogume which was apparently far enough away and she didn't want my parents to join us at the park either, as she had said, it was our thing and not theirs." I laughed at how stubborn that woman could be when she had decided on something. That was something I had gotten from her.

"I had to roll her down to this bench overlooking a small lake and we sat there for a while. The sun was shining and children were shouting in the background, it was peaceful. She had given met half of the duck feed pellets and we did what we had gone there to do. After that trip, she had smiled for the whole day and I woke up the next morning to the news that she had passed away during the night." He reached one hand to my check and used his thumb to wipe away my tears. "Thank you for sharing that with me."

This moment right now felt intimate in a way we had been before. He had seen me naked but baring myself to him emotionally was a whole other thing. Later when Leon returned, we ordered a large margherita pizza to share and some soft drinks for the both of us. The smell in the

restaurant was mouthwatering and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some greasy sliced pizza. I hadn't eaten anything since lunch and I was starving.

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you guys about something." I began.

"Andy invited me to meet the guy he is dating, his name is James and we made plans to go out for a couple of drinks." I said.

"It i

is your own day tomorrow and we agreed you could do whatever you wanted then." He smiled, sipping his drink while we waited on the food.

"Yes. I

It is just... James kind of got the wrong impression of me, he thinks I am available and he invited one of his single friends along." I said and he turned towards me, a glint in his eyes. and I knew I was in trouble.

I jumped as he laid his hand on my bare thigh, squeezing it once before he slid it slowly upwards, inch by freaking inch.

"W.. what are you doing?" I stammered, looking around the room and making sure no one was watching us.

"Remaining you who you belong to and making sure you know how unavailable you really are."
