Chapter Two
Back to me being done killing that man.
After the kill, me and Miles we burned down that warehouse factory and then got on to our motorbikes with a bag of money. Bad money which that evil dead man had earned from using young innocent girls. Luckily Godfather told me to keep any money we got from our missions.
Miles asked me what I wanted us to do with the money and my answer did not shock him much.
We first rode back to my old neighborhood, the junk place where I would hang around when I was homeless. We left our motorcycles parked and only carried the cash-filled bag.
We walked for a bit and I enjoyed just looking around at the different people that we passed by. It was now a habit; I enjoyed the thrill of studying people and figuring them out. As we passed a rich businessman, I could not help but quickly graze my hand against his suit jacket, stealing his wallet in a flash.
Miles quickly noticed and gave me an amused smirk as I placed the wallet filled with a large sum of money into my own pocket. I did not feel guilty as I knew this was just pocket change to the rich man with whom I had stolen it from. He was sure to have millions on his credit card. Stealing was another one of my well-taught talents.
I loved my new life. It was a relief. I no longer wore old torn clothes from the trash bin, instead, I now looked like a normal person. I never went hungry, instead, I now ate really good and warm fresh food. Instead of sleeping outside, we now slept in good hotels paid by stolen money. Money, we stole from evil rich men. I always felt like robin hood. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
I had, after all, spent 2 years at the Godfather`s place being trained to do everything from fighting, spying to stealing. They trained me on how to steal and not get caught. How to also act innocent to not get caught too. I was now a really good actress. I could get myself out of anything. I deserved to win an Oscar for the many times I had gotten us out of sticky situations with my acting skills. I could make myself cry at will, and manipulate people and their emotions.
I always enjoyed the proud look on Miles's face whenever I would successfully complete a stealing mission. But today was different, being my first killing mission.
I then motioned Miles for us to pass by the fast-food restaurant that was just around the corner.
There I then bought lots of food bags and drinks with the money from the bag. I quickly filled up a trolley with the food. Miles being a gentleman quickly offered to carry it all for me.
We then passed by a dumpster like place, where I used to hang around as a kid, picking up food scraps. As expected, there were some homeless children there doing exactly as I would do.
As soon as they saw me, they all quickly ran towards me as they always did whenever I would visit.
With a smile, both me and Miles we then quickly handed each of them even the teenagers a share of the food until they were all sited down eating.
“I will bring some more food for you guys again soon, stay safe.” I then said while hugging and placing a kiss on the forehead of the youngest one. Little Kellan, a 7-year-old who was homeless with his big sister. He gave me a cute toothy grin back as I gave his big sister leftover money from the bag to look after them.
If only I had been born rich, I would have made sure to take care of all of them so that they would not have the kind of childhood that I had gotten. Living in fear, hunger and no future. I could not help but wipe a small teardrop that had just fallen as my heart ached for them. Luckily, I was going to help wipe out all the evil men who send out people to kidnap them. We then said goodbye and left.

We then rode to Godfather`s house so we could tell him how the mission went.
He preferred to meet us in a secluded cabin in this small little forest and it was where I had gotten my training.
We entered inside and there he was sited in his small office and wearing a black suit.
This man Godfather had become like a father I never had.
“I am so proud of you Zendaya. I knew I did the right thing saving you. You are now officially a full member of the Punishers and part of the family.” As he said that to me, I gave out a happy smile, but inside, I knew thoughts of the man I had killed would haunt me forever.
“Miles,” he then said turning to him.
“Yes father,” Miles quickly answered. And yes, the Godfather was Miles's real father. They both had the same light brown hair and green eyes.
“Its time to finally tell her.” The Godfather then said to him.
Miles quickly gave an obedient nod and motioned for us to leave and go outside.
While walking into the woods, I noticed how Miles kept staring at me.
“Stop staring at me.” I said to him
“Am I not allowed to look at your beautiful face?” was his reply with a cute smirk now gracing his face.
“Whatever,” I then said to him in reply while looking away to hide the blush on my cheeks. It was hard to believe that years had passed ever since I met Miles and yet whenever he would flirt with me, I would always blush.
Now being a 17-year-old girl, it was very hard for me to not crush on this charming handsome guy who was now always protecting me, being there for me and making sure I never got hungry.
I sometimes found myself imagining how his lips would feel against mine. If he would be my first kiss. If he would mind how inexperienced I was at that stuff and if he even liked me back.
“Did I just make you blush,” Miles then said moving closer with a bigger smirk.
“No, something must be wrong with your eyes,” I then said to him with a scoff and moved away while burning with embarrassment inside.
“Anyway, I want to take us somewhere, will you come with me,” Miles then said while holding out his hand to me.
“Sure,” I eagerly said while placing my hand into his. I trusted him. Ever since he entered my life, I finally felt that I now had someone I could depend on and who cared for me. My life had gotten better too.
“So where are we going,” I curiously asked him while enjoying the warm heat of his hand against holding mine.
“It’s a surprise,” he said to me in response with a charming smile.
I hated surprises but since this was from Miles, I did not mind. Plus, I was eager to know what Godfather had commanded him to tell me.
“Now on to my surprise,” Miles voice then said bringing me back from my thoughts.
The curiosity was now really killing me as I wondered what the surprise was.
After walking some more again, we finally arrived at this empty looking three-story building. Miles took my hand again and led us in through the back. I liked the thrill of sneaking in. After entering we then climbed up the steps. As we reached the floor of the roof, Miles quickly placed his hands over my eyes so that I could not see anything as we opened the door to the roof floor.
After walking, he finally removed them for me to see the surprise.
“Wow,” I quickly said to him in a surprised voice as I stared at the picnic, he had set up for us.
There were all kinds of my favorite food. And the view on the roof floor was just spectacular overlooking a city.
“What is the occasion?” I finally asked after admiring what he had just done.
“The special occasion is you of course. The special place you now hold in my heart.” Miles then said to me.
I could not help the blush that spread across my cheeks. I was not dumb; I knew what this was. We were finally on a real date. It seems Miles was finally ready for us to be together and share his feelings.
He then took a step closer to me,
“Will you be my girlfriend,” he then said while holding my chin so he could look me in the eyes.
“Yes, I would love too,” I then quickly replied causing a more charming smile to grace his face as he leaned in getting closer and closer to my lips.
I then eagerly moved closer too, and really enjoyed the small warm feeling as our lips met.
