Private Finished Shopping for Trouble

Ida grinned when Delaney said she deserved donuts. It wasn’t every day that someone actually understood what she deserved.

Ida burst out laughing after the girl then asked if she was an actual guardian angel. She nearly fell over before she stopped herself. If it wasn’t for needing to laugh so bad she could’ve kept up an act and told her she was an angel. It really was too bad she’d blown it.

“Not quite kid. But somethin’ like that.” She didn’t really want to tell her she was an imp. As far as she understood the species wasn’t exactly known for being trustworthy and not really for bad reasons.

“Alright, this way.” She turned another corner, heading down another street she didn’t recognize.

Ida perked up at the mention of getting free donuts. That was music to her ears. “Well, if you insist.”

Without really thinking about it, she started heading towards the donut place instead of the random direction she was going before. She didn’t even tell Delaney about the change in destination, she just went ahead and started walking there. of course she made sure to shout “this way.” Or “that way.”

Before long they had arrived at the donut place. “Alright, here we are.” Ida banged on the wheelchair person picture that opened the doors automatically then walked on in, the smell of donuts quickly becoming obvious.

"Well you should've made that more clear. You said, ahem-" Ida made a different voice as if to copy Delaney's, although it really didn't sound anything like her. "Hey, let me treat you to those donuts for helping me out ." Then she returned to her usual voice. "You never said when."

She sighed and decided to try and turn this around. After all, she wouldn't get donuts if this girl wasn't willing to buy them. "Besides, this was all part of the plan..." Ida was still putting together exactly what the plan was. "I was going to ask these guys for directions. They know how to get anywhere. It just makes sense to stop and get donuts while we're here though, ya know?"

“You do that here too.” Ida said flatly in response to Delaney saying it was like paying someone before the job was done. “You give them money first then they give you donuts.”

Ida held in a snicker at the part about leading her on. Her tone sounded innocent, maybe a bit too exaggerated. “Me? Lead you on? I would never, I’m your angel remember, I would never, that’s crazy.”

When told she could get two donuts and they couldn’t be more than five dollars, she rolled her eyes and said “Yeah, sure.” Then she started looking for money. “So how’re ya paying then?”

Ida frowned when she was handed a regular five dollar bill. Part of her expected this girl to pull out a twenty by mistake. Regardless, she took the money, replying “Yeah yeah.” To returning the change before heading over to wait in the now two person line. She paid no attention to the lack of please in Dela’s request. The word was foreign to her anyway.

Before long Ida was at the front of the line. Without much thought she ordered three donuts. Three was the decided amount that she could stretch it. She’d still get change back and she could get an extra donut so why not get a little something extra. It wasn’t like what’s her face would even notice.

After she was handed the donuts in a little bag, she proceeded to actually ask for the cup of water. She wasn’t polite in how she asked but she did get the water for Dela. That being said, she completely forgot about asking directions.

With her spoils in hand, she stopped a short distance from the girl as a thought crept into her head. She could leave. Right here, she could walk right out the door and she’d have another extra donut and some change. This idiot wouldn’t know what she looked like in the slightest, there would be no harm done...

And so that’s just what she did. She walked right out, taking a donut from the pouch and beginning to munch with a happy grin on her face. Well there was a happy grin, it went away after a few bites. The donut didn’t taste too good. They had messed it up somehow. Probably on purpose or something. After all, everyone was horrible. Even that girl, that’s why this was okay, because that girl was just as bad as she was...

Ida paced around for a few seconds before throwing the donut against the ground and shouting “Fuck!” Before booting the thing a few meters away. Then she walked back the short ways to the donut shop, an angry expression glued to her face.

she stomped back in, heading up to the front and asking/telling them to tell her where The Overflow was. And after a coworker who was better versed in this stuff was asked to come help, she was given the directions.

With that, Ida came back to Delaney, having taken a pretty long time for what she was doing. “Hey, I’m back, here’s your water or whatever. And here’s the change.” Ida held the cup out and waited for her to grab it before letting go, then did the same with the change. She never explained what took her so long.
