The evil shadow (Despicable me x reader)

30. Payback time

With the kids, sticking like high on drugs, on the television, Dru was getting on my nerves. While I was worried of the amount of candy packages the girls stuff themselves with, my so-called partner in babysitting began to invade my personal space. One move closer and he will choke on a candy bar, I thought. I should have been suspicious from the beginning, as he sat on the couch, like he owned the furniture and anyone that sits there. Now aware, Margo looked towards us and noticed something I missed out, "Uncle Dru, what is that thing on your ankle?" Sitting with his legs wide, his trousers moved up a little. Now I noticed too.

"That is an ankle monitor"

Margo seems to be confused about it, "Isn't that for criminals?"

Dru's good mood was hurt for a minute. Normally, the word 'criminal' didn't affect him that much, but in this case, he was innocent. He told Margo about the situation he got involved in. While I listened to his story, I ate away crisps with joy. It got even better, as Dru said how far he was allowed to go. During the conversation, I wasn't aware on how loud we spoke.

Edith got annoyed by their constant talking and barked at her sister, "Margo, you are missing the best scenes!" During the movie the kids were back on the TV screen, while I kept my distance from the man. Dru didn't seem to get the hint, following me with his body.

From the corner of my eye, I saw his long nose come closer. Instantly, I grabbed the bowl on the table, facing Dru with it, "One more move and I stuff the marshmallows down your throat."

Raising his hands in defense, he withdraws, "I just wanted to ask you something."

"Is it necessary right now?"

He nodded.

Turning my body towards him, we faced each other, "What is it then?"

"Are you taken?"

"Eh?! My sudden surprise was interrupting the movie. The girls turned back to us. With a finger in their lips they shushed at us to stay quiet. Not to interrupt again, I leaned forward, continuing the conversation with a whisper, "Does it matter if I was?"

He follows my example, whispering back, "Well...kind of."

"What do you mean...kind of?"

Dru didn't reply, only his hands were playing with the white scarf around his neck. His face got a little red too. I raised a brow, as his facial expression turned to a nervous one. I leaned close, till my nose reached his, "Dru...is there something you need to tell me?"

His throat won't let him speak, but his eyes gave it a try to give out hints. First was it just a constant stare, next, he winked with one eye.

"Got something in your eye?"

He shook his head, giving it another try, winking with one and then the other.

"Are you alright?" Don't blame me for not getting it, it was my first time that a man tries to flirt with me without words. His next move however...was more than clear.

His hand reached out to my shoulder and squeezed it slightly. Irritated I looked at it. It was a trick of his. Not paying attention to him, he moved closer. The moment I turned my head back, he placed his lips on mine. Stunned by his sudden move, I stayed stiff as a board. Unlike him, who closed his eyes. The feeling got better, that I also closed mine. My heart skipped a beat, while my hands got sweaty. Suddenly, a shock went through my entire body. What the hell just happened? The last time I felt this sort of feeling, was when Robert used his new taser on me. I doubt that Dru has one and besides, I doubt that he would use such things in front of the girls. The moment passed, as his other hand went around my waist...that was too much. With enough force, I pushed him off the couch. The sound he made, got the girls curious.

I smiled back at them, a little embarrassed from their constant stare, "He couldn't reach the marshmallows."

"Why didn't you give them to him?" asked Margo curious.

I shrugged, "I was busy watching the movie."

Dru didn't way a word, only his blue eyes were wide open, staring at mine in disbelieve. He wasn't sure of what he did wrong. I excused myself and left the room in silence. It didn't take long till Dru followed. I was angry...extremely angry of this odd feelings inside me. It wasn't because of him, its was my own fault, for letting it happen. To let off some steam, I punched the nearest wall. The moment as his lips touched mine wont get out of my head. I began to hit harder, even though the knuckles were turning red already. Dru, worried of my outburst, went behind me and grabbed my fists, wrapping his hands around them, "Don't hurt yourself, please." Pushed against his chest, the feeling came back. My face turned red, "I can't, I just can't."

"What can't you?" His hand touched my cheek tenderly, pushing it a little sideways, till my eyes could face his.

"I...I..." My head was spinning. On one hand I wanted to escape the other...wanted his lips. Dru chose for me and leaned forward. This kiss was even more intense. I lost track of time, unable to say how long it was till we parted. Out of breath, he grinned wide,"Feeling better?"

I nodded...slowly.

Taking my hands, he rubbed the knuckles, "Wait here, I get you something." It happened, as he turned the corner and into the kitchen, I began to cry. It is been a long time, that I felt trapped. Dru acted just like his father, taking care of me like a little girl...his little girl, his possession, his slave. No, not again, I thought. I didn't want this to repeat itself, I am no ones possession. My mind was on one thing and one thing only: How do I get rid of Dru? Surprisingly, that was pretty simple.

I just left the house.

Dru panicked at the sight of me leaving, but stopped at the doorframe. He knew what will happen if he just left. The front garden was included, but he didn't want to risk it. From the road, I looked back at him, holding a first aid kit. I knew he wont leave without a good reason, although, one just came my way...on wheels. Dru yelled over, that a car was coming, but I stayed were I was....right in the middle of the road. Come on Dru, what are you waiting for?, I thought to myself, feeling a little anxious. At the dark night like this and black clothes was I the perfect target for a driver's hood.

Dru stood there, afraid for his freedom and more for my life. He was sure to make the right decision. Dropping the box, he ran towards me, pushing my body off the road, before the car could even hit us. Quickly, he asked me how I was. His eyes were concerned, as he met mine, covered in tears.

"I am sorry Dru."

All of a sudden, dozens of headlights were brightening up the street, all directly at. I heard my old rival from above us, "We have you surrounded, surrender Dru!" I guess they spied on him, otherwise they wouldn't have been here this quick.
