A Mall Day (2)
Ward's limo driver opened the door for them and they both got in. Skye was a bit fidgety in the car because she hadn't been in a limo ever.
"Where are you going to, sir?" Ward's driver asked looking back at them. Skye said the address and the man started driving to address Skye gave them. Grant looked back at her when she gave him the address.
"That's not too great of an area." Ward said looking over at Skye who just let out a small sigh looking down.
"Not all of us can have a pampered life like you..." Skye said looking at the billionaire. "You're suit probably costs more money than the amount I have to pay for bills and I owe a lot of money..." Skye said looking over at him. He looked at her a bit confused.
They stayed quiet for the rest of the ride and they eventually got to the apartment. When his driver parked the car and opened the door Skye got out and Ward got out after her.
"Where do you this you're going?" Skye asked looking back at him. She was just going to run up to her apartment and grab Lexi from Jemma.
"I'm coming with you..." Ward said looking over at her but he glared at her when she let out a small chuckle. "What?" He asked looking over at her.
"I hate to break it too you but I can handle myself..." She said and let herself into the building but he kept following.
Skye started walking up the stairs do her apartment with Ward at her heels. "Why are you still following me?" She asked turning back at him.
"I don't want you to go alone... And you're my new PA and I can't let my PA die before her first day." He said looking over at her.
Skye turned back and looked at him. "From what I heard all of your PA's quit their first day..." Skye said looking over at him.
"Very true..." He said catching up to her.
"Why?" She asked and when he was next to her she started up again.
"I don't know they just say I'm a stubborn and unbearable ass..." He said softly.
They eventually got up to her floor which was 19.
"Why don't you just take the elevator Jesus Christ that was a lot of stairs..." Ward said catching his breath. Skye just rolled her eyes and went over to her apartment. She talked to Jemma and Ward just stayed in the hallway trying to catch his breath.
After about five minutes Skye came back walking with a little girl. 'Lexi this is my boss say Hi to him." Skye said as Lexi looked all the way up at Ward.
"Hi him!" She said giggling a bit. Ward just smiled a bit and kneeled down a bit.
"Hi Lexi, my name's Grant. You're mommy told me you like Doc McStuffins too. Who's your favorite character?" Ward asked smiling. For a billionaire he was really good with kids and wanted them one day.
"Lambie of course!" Lexi said looking at Grant. "She has an L like me!"
"Stuffy is my favorite.." Grant said smiling down at the little girl.
"That's mommy's favorite! She sleeps with a stuffy teddy bear at night.." When Lexi said the last sentence Skye got red in the face.
After that little talk and they got into the car. They went to the mall. Ward forced Skye to get a new iPhone, a laptop, a tablet for Lexi and tablet for her. Skye refused him because she knew she couldn't afford it but he said he was paying for it because it was for work. It was a good half hour of them arguing until he convinced her to let him pay for it.
"Thank you, Mr. Ward.." Skye mumbled as he was paying for the stuff.
"You can call me Grant when we aren't in the office..' He said looing over at her. Lexi had grown an attachment to Grant and she was leaning on his leg.
After they got the electronics Grant was making Skye get some clothes that very nice. She was being incredibly stubborn at first but eventually let him get her clothes. She wasn't going to admit it but she really really liked his taste in clothing. After she got clothes that were acceptable for work they took Lexi to the Disney store and let her get a toy. Lexi ended up holding onto Grant and not letting go. After they left the Disney store they realized Lexi had fallen asleep on Grant's chest.
"I'm sorry shopping just makes her tired. Let me take her..." Skye said softly looking up at her boss.
He shook his head. "It's okay I got her... I don't mind holding her. I actually like kids because they don't judge you as harshly as adults do..." He said to her.
Skye nodded looking at him. She out of anyone knew that.
"Doesn't she go to pre-school?" Grant asked looking over at her.
"Yes she does but it's July, Mr. Ward..." Skye said looking up at him.
"Grant..." He said looking over at her.
"Pardon..." She said looking over at him with a semi confused look on her face.
"You don't have to call me Mr. Ward when we're out, Skye..." He said looking over at her.
Skye nodded. "Noted..." She said looking at him as they walked by a puppy store. She stopped.
"No..." Grant said and looked over at her knowing what she was thinking.
"Please I'm not going to take one home I just want to see them..." Skye said looking at him and walked into the puppy store. Grant let out a sigh and followed her into the store looking at the puppies. After a bit he managed to pull Skye out of the store and looked down at her shaking his head.
"One day I'm getting a dog so Lexi can grow up with a dog.." Skye said looking over at Grant who just smirked.
"Are you sure it's just so you can't have a dog?" He asked teasingly as he held a sleeping Lexi in his arms.
"Yes I want a dog but I also want Lexi to have a dog...." Skye said getting a bit flustered.
"How about we go out to dinner and get to know each other..." Grant said looking over at Skye. "You can leave Lexi-" Grant started as Skye shook her head.
"Nope not doing that. I'm sorry I'm just not comfortable leaving my daughter with people that I don't know..." Skye said looking over at him.
"No don't be but you'll get to know my staff soon..." Grant said looking over at her.
"Maybe we can go to a more kid friendly place but you need to change out of that..." Skye said motioning to his clothing.
"What's wrong with my clothes?" He asked looking over at her a bit offended.
"You look too fancy. You need to go change into something more casual..." She said and dragged him into a Sears. She picked out a shirt and jeans that looked like his size. "Try these on and I'll take Lex.."
Grant gave Skye Lexi and took the clothes she gave him to try on. He tried in the clothes and walked out. "How does it look?" Grant asked looking at Skye holding Lexi.
Skye shushed him because Lexi was still asleep. "You look a lot better..." Skye said and looked over at Grant.
He just nodded and went back into the room to change back into his clothes. When he came back he saw Skye holding Lexi who was awake.
Lexi fussed out of Skye's arm and ran over to Grant hugging him. She never had a dad and she was kinda thinking about him as a father figure.
They walked around the store a bit and Skye had to get a car seat for Lexi because Skye didn't have a car but she guessed she'd be driving with Grant. Grant paid for his clothes and the car seat. Skye was holding most of the bags and Grant was holding Lexi and a few bags. When they got to the limo, his driver helped Skye get the bags in and get the seat set up.
They sat in the car and his driver asked where they were going and Skye just smiled and confidently said. "Applebee's."
