"Can I go shopping please?"She waited for his no you cannot go anywhere reply, she was going to beg and plead and cry and do whatever it took.
"If Caleb goes with you."
"You can't keep me locked up here forever, I've been behaved, I can't handle it anymore.Please Zak just this once I'll prove to you that..."
"Mari...Mari… He said yes."Mariyah did a double take when Caleb said that.
"Oh...Very well…" She heard Caleb whisper to Zak before she could think of what to say and complete her sentence.
"Three… Two… one…"
"Thank you!"Mariyah ran and wrapped her arms around Zak kissing his cheek.
"I'm the one taking you."Caleb called out when he didn't receive any love.She blew him a kiss.Zak was letting her go?She didn’t get it… Why was he acting all different with her?Something wasn’t making sense… Still, she was not complaining.She was going out!

Zak had given Mariyah his credit card.She didn't want to take it telling him that Caleb had some money."I'm sure he does but you are my problem not Caleb's."Whatever, she took his card and smiled.
"Well consider yourself warned, I can be a big spender."He laughed before shaking his head and turning away.
At the mall Mariyah hugged her brother."Thanks for this."He winked at her and her heart melted.She loved him so much.
"Do you want me to leave you?"He asked her.She shook her head
"No, let’s go grab lunch.I miss being able to do things like this.It seems like we have been on the run forever, it's nice not to be scared and looking over our shoulders."Caleb nodded his agreement.
After lunch they shopped, Mariyah wanted to go into every single shop in the world.Caleb was losing his shit.
"Mari, let's go, shopping is boring...I'm bored."Mariyah gave him puppy dog eyes and always won out.
"Just one more shop, please?"And he would let her go into the next clothes shop.By the end of the day Caleb was over his life.
When they walked into the house Caleb literally tossed her shopping bags down before he glared at Zak."Never again."Zak laughed at that."Seriously man, if you want her to go shopping you take her."
"You’re a big baby Caleb."She said as she took her shoes off her aching feet.Mariyah flopped down on the sofa.
"Very classy."Came that voice she hated.Olivia staring at Mariyah lounging on the sofa.
"As opposed to you?"Olivia looked at her with so much hatred.
"You are a piece of ..."
"Run along Olivia, nobody is interested in what you have to say."Mariyah was in no mood for her.Zak walked away as if pretending he didn't hear their conversation.
"You will pay for this."
"So you keep telling me."Mariyah too exhausted to carry on this argument, she took her bags and headed for her room.
"Who gave you the money to spend?"Mariyah turned back and faced Olivia before she answered her question.
"Uncle Zak did."With that she left the bitch to choke on that.

As the days passed Mariyah couldn't forget about Olivia snooping around in Zak's office.She had to tell him, even if he didn't believe her.She went to see him in his office making sure to knock loudly, she heard call out for her to enter but she wanted to rattle him a bit and continued to knock.He opened the door and shook his head at her."Why?"Mariyah shrugged her shoulders
"I like it when you open the door."Was her reasoning.He just turned and returned to his desk.His arms were the sexiest thing ever.Everything about this guy was fucking hot… Like he was a amazing… He was just so…
