"You are such a fucking pig!" Penny screamed at the top of her lungs. She could feel the eyes of every many woman and child in the food court turn towards her and her boyfriend. Taking a deep breath she wound way back and slapped him hard enough to nearly spin him around. "It's not enough that I dress up for you, you still can't keep from checking out every fucking skirt that skips by?"
The woman he'd been checking out, a young looking Asian girl, eyes widened and then she blushed.
"Baby I-"
"You didn't what? You weren't just looking at her ass when she skipped by?" Penny took a moment to adjust her thigh high black and white striped socks, and then pulled her just more than a handful bust up in her crop top.
Trevor hadn't noticed his hand move to the side of his face where she'd slapped him. He dropped his gaze to the floor then looked around. Any thought of screaming at her instantly went away. He could feel their eyes boring into him daring him to say or do anything. "I'm sorry."
"I you think sorry is good enough?" Penny stomped her foot.
Star Dust perked up slightly from her perch atop Mike's head. "Oh that sounds like fun. I'm gonna go take a look. Meet you back at home?"
Despite knowing that he couldn't possible see her Mike still tilted his head up rolled his eyes back trying to spot the fairy sitting on his head. "But what am I going to do without you?" Mike whispered in a hiss.
"The same thing you were going to do without me silly. She's already charmed, that's why we're here. She wants your opinion on some swimsuits and lingerie she's buying for your
daddy
." Star Dust sang. "If you need me just clap."
"That really works?" Mike gasped.
"What are you talking about?" Amy spun around to face her son.
"Nothing. Just thinking out loud. You're gonna look great for dad." Mike replied.
The forty three year old blonde bombshell stared at him for a second. Her expression was strange, somewhere between confused and aroused. In the end she curled her lips into a smile and she turned back. "And you're just the lucky man who's going to help me pick out my outfits. I've never taken a man shopping for these kinds of things before."
"And after this we should pick up some shoes." Amy nodded at the suggestion putting an extra bit of sway in her stop.
Star Dust let the humans talk for a moment before she fluttered down in front of Mike kissing him on the tip of the nose. "Of course it works. If you need me I'll be there, promise. Now go, have fun I want to see what this is all about." She didn't wait for him to respond, she just fluttered off over the crowd.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't-" Trent stopped himself mid sentence. Partially because he was certain he'd seen something flying through the air and land on Penny's shoulder. There was nothing there though, maybe a heat shimmer or one of those strange spots where you can see the AC but she wasn't standing near a vent. Then even after a full second or three of staring it faded away and he knew it was just his embarrassed mind playing tricks on him.
"Sorry doesn't cut it, you're always like this. Take me home." Penny snarled.
Trent remained still for a moment. "But I hav-"
"Don't care about your stupid video game! You're taking me home now!" She stomped her foot.
"You're right. Let's go." Trent put his head down avoiding the accusing and now mocking glares of the crowd. There was a taunting jeer coming from no where in particular. The embarrassment of being stared at by all those people made him hotter than the handprint on the side of his face.
"Well aren't you quite the little bitch?" Star Dust mused from her seat on Penny's shoulder. The petite Brunette couldn't see, hear or feel the pixie sitting on her but she perked at the words anyway holding her head a little higher than she had a moment ago. "Arrogant sow as well."
Star Dust looked back at Trent trailing behind her them like a beaten dog. His head held low, his shoulders slumped over and he was fumbling through is pockets for keys trying to avoid looking directly at anybody in the crowd while they walked out. "You really put up with a lot." She mused. Someone dumped a bag of popcorn and a soda on him as he walked past. For a moment Trent stood up like he was about to do something but Penny picking up her pace just slightly was enough to yank his attention back to her and continue walking out.
"I'm really sorry."
"Yeah, I don't want to hear it right now." Penny growled.
The trip back to her place was uncomfortably silent. Star Dust who could actually feel what the two humans were only imagining they felt, or could barely feel. The waves of righteous anger wafting off the woman like waves of stink off shit mingled with the dimness shame coming off Trent forming something combine that stank and lingered on Star Dust's skin like sour milk. She would have left but she'd already decided that this Penny woman needed to be punished.
"Okay, we're here." Trent said pulling up into the driveway.
