Can I Ask You a Personal Question? || Connor x Fem!Reader || D:BH

Chapter 25

I felt slightly embarrassed but in a good way. It was an odd, but pleasant feeling. "He has really grown to like you, too."

She giggled. "Well, that's good." We passed by a candy store and (y/n) stopped again. "Hold up. This place is open, we have to go in." She pulled my hand as she went inside.

I watched her as she looked at all of the sweets behind the glass. "Are you going to get something?"

"Of course I am. This is a very important decision, so don't rush me."

"I will buy you whatever you want."

She held up a hand to me but didn't look at me. "That won't be necessary."

"Please, (y/n). I want to buy you something."

She looked up at me with her beautiful (e/c) eyes and sighed. "How can I say no to that face?"

I smiled. "What would you like?"

She bit her lower lip, still in thought. When she decided, she pointed at a chocolate/fruit candy like a shy child.

"Could we get three of those, please?" I asked the cashier.

She smiled and nodded. "Of course." She put on a clear disposable glove and grabbed three pieces of the candy and put them in a small paper bag. She set the bag on the counter and I paid for the candy.

We left the shop and (y/n) popped one of the candies in her mouth. She let out a happy moan. "Fuck, these are good."

I smiled. "I'm glad you enjoy them."

"I'm sorry that you can't eat anything, or I would offer you one."

I chuckled. "That's alright. I don't mind."

"Doesn't it suck? Not being able to eat?"

"Not really. I can't miss something that I haven't tried."

She gave a small nod to the side. "Good point."

We decided to have a seat on a bench. As we were talking, I noticed a figure duck into an alleyway a couple of blocks down the road. (y/n) looked up at me. "Everything okay, Connor?"

"Yeah." I slowly stood up. "I just thought I saw something."

"Should we go investigate?"

I gave a small nod and gently took her hand to help her up. We cautiously walked to the alleyway. Before we passed into sight, I turned to (y/n). I put my finger against my lips and leaned in closer to her ear to whisper. "Don't move from this spot, okay?"

She nodded. "Do you have anything to defend yourself with?"

I nodded and pulled out my pistol.

I hesitantly turned the corner and scanned. Nothing, but I had a strange feeling fall over me. Something wasn't right. I noticed a dumpster against one of the walls and a tall chain link fence on the other end of the alleyway. There weren't many places the figure could've gone.

I cautiously inched my way closer to the other side of the dumpster, before I could see what was on the other side, the figure jumped up and knocked me to the ground. I tried to aim my gun, but the figure was too fast and kicked it out of my hand, causing his hood to fall down. He grabbed my blazer collar and picked me up, then slammed my back against the dumpster. He pulled out a gun and pressed the barrel against my forehead. "Why are you following me?"

I put my hands up next to my head. "You and I both know that you recognize me."

"Yeah. I already killed you once, I won't hesitate to do it again."
