Chapter 13- Victim?

Luce stifled a yawn. He rubbed his deep blue orbs sleepily.

It was three o’clock in the afternoon, the comforting heat of the sun, the shade provided by the apple tree and the gentle breeze did not help him stay awake.

After having breakfast, Lara decided to ask her mother to go shopping with her for some new clothes. Luce and Richard were not really fond of shopping, so they opted to stay behind.

She got changed, put on her checkered mini skirt and a black laced top and gave him a goodbye kiss. 

Now alone lounging in the back garden, relaxing and  savouring the smoothie that Richard made for him. Luce soon fell asleep.

“Excuse me! Do you have this in a smaller size?” called out Lara, to one of the sales assistants nearby.

Looking over to the beautiful blonde girl, the sales assistant gave them a polite smile and nodded.

“Yes. Certainly, I can get that for you.” She replied.

“Why a maid’s clothing?” asks her mother, bewildered by her daughter’s choice.

Lara simply giggled. “It’s not for me.”

“Kyran?” Linda exclaimed, fixing a weird look at her daughter. Who was now drooling and probably day dreaming, imagining her boyfriend, dressed up as a maid.

“So that’s why we bought, the white lace stockings?” asked Linda.

“Exactly!” nodded Lara excitedly.

Looking down at one of the many shopping bags she was holding, Linda rummaged and picked up a pair of metal handcuffs. She quirked and eyebrow, raising the object at Lara.

“So he won’t be able to get away.” Smiled Lara, impishly.

Linda simply sighed and shook her head. ‘I feel sorry for your boyfriend.” She thought. 

“How did you even manage to think of this?” ask Linda, giving up. Her daughter seemed to determine to put her plan into action, and there’s no way, she could persuade her daughter to stop. She was as hard headed as a brick wall.

“Dad, gave me the idea.” Replied Lara.

“Richard?!” cry out Linda, eyes wide.

“Yeah. He mentioned Luce might look good in girl’s clothing.” Laugh Lara.

“I don’t think you will need the handcuff.” Said Linda. “Looking at him, he seems so frail and weak minded. I doubt he could get away from you.”

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

“That’s only in the day time. He’s different at night.” Replied Lara, her eyes browsing for more things to buy. Her eyes brighten as she spots something interesting.

She raced over and immediately picked up the object that held her interest.

Linda quirk her eyebrows. “Cat ears?”

Lara did not reply, but smiled wickedly.

‘Luce will love this’ smirk Lara.

The sales assistant was back with the item requested. “Here you go.” She smiled.

“Dad! Luce! Were back!” called out Lara excitedly, as burst through the front door.

Richard was reading a newspaper in the living room, while drinking yet another cup of black coffee.

“Where’s Luce?” asks Lara, her eyes frantically search for him.

Richard ‘hummed’ as he replied slowly, eyes glued on an article he was reading. “He should be in the back garden.” He said, fixing his glasses with his right hand.

“Do you want some, Ice cream? ” asks Lara.

“No, I’m good.” Replied Richard absent-mindedly, eyes still glued to the article.

Lara shrugged her shoulder and sauntered to the back garden, holding an ice cream cone in her hand.

She spotted Luce, dozing off under an apple tree. 

She smiled sweetly at her sleeping boyfriend and straddled his lap.

Luce, whined in annoyance, at the sudden weight on top of him.

Lara just chuckled and press the cold ice cream on his cheeks. Luce closed eyes fluttered open, fixing Lara with an annoyed glare.

Lara ignored him and focused on the bits of ice cream, stuck on the side of his face.

She bent forward, and gave the side of his face a long lick, getting rid of the ice cream in the process.

Luce, huffed and wiped the side of his face with his hands.

Lara stuck her tongue out childishly. “Do you want some ice cream?” she asked.

Luce nodded and took the ice cream from her.

Lara stayed in his lap, watching him eat.
