Andrew carried Avaloth to his bicycle and put her down as her bare feet touch the ground. She still felt weak. His eyes looked at her feet.

He hadn't seen her wearing any shoes. He put one of his feet beside her small foot and measured them in which Avaloth looked at him with a pair of questioning eyes.

"Sit now." Andrew said as he brought out his cycle and pointed at the carrier behind him. Avaloth sat on it placing her feet at one side and he said, "Hold me tight or you will fall."

Avaloth's small hands wrapped around him from behind on his waist as he paddled it.

As the cycle started to run Avaloth said excitedly, "Wow! You can just seat here and it will run for you?"

"No, you have to paddle it as well."

"Mmhmm..." Her curious gazes moved around everywhere while he paddled it and went to the street.

He took her to the town square where all the good stores were. He knew a good food centre as well.

He stopped before it once they reached. Avaloth hopped out of the cycle as Andrew parked it, locking it with a chain.

"Follow me." He said as obediently, Avaloth followed him to the food store. It wasn't too much crowdy but it would be soon when people would come for dinner or an evening snack. He needed to hurry.

His eyes moved around and spotted an empty table at a corner. He led her to there but a few people's gazes fell on the devil as she had no footwears. Their showed pity faces and some scoffed or cringed as Andrew's eyes sent glares at them and they went back to what they were doing.

As they reached he said, "Sit here and wait. I am coming with your food."

Avaloth nodded as she sat taking one side of the table and Andrew went to the counter. The owner was looking at her with quizzical brows and then looked at Andrew. He could see some questions appearing on his mind as Avaloth seemed like a plain girl with no shoes. Like someone had abandoned her.

"Her heels broke." He said as their eyes met. "Can I order now?"

The owner didn't say anything as he nodded.

Andrew ordered a cheese burger for her and a diet coke for himself. Then his eyes fell on their bakery items as he ordered a piece of cinnamon roll.

While they started to prepare their order, he paid them as his eyes went to the devil. Her curious eyes were moving everywhere and the people around her gave her side glances occasionally.

He took the order and went toward their table and placed the burger before her as her eyes got stars in them after seeing the large burger. He could almost see her drooling at it as her nose caught the scent.

"Wh-what is it?"

"A burger and a cinnamon roll." He said as she blinked and Andrew said, "Dig up."

Her hand went to the burger as she took the upper bread only and Andrew almost shook his head. "That's not how you eat it."

He took the burger with both of his hands and taking it in them, he leaned toward her from across the table. He stretched his hands toward her saying, "Now have a bite."

Avaloth inspected it for a moment, contemplating how the large burger would fit her mouth. Andrew almost chuckled as she widened her mouth and struggled to have a bite. The sauce and the cheese got stuck all around her lips.

As soon as the piece met her tongue, her eyes sparkled and she moaned. Stars appeared around her as she said while chewing on it, "Ifs elefious." (It's delicious)

He couldn't help but chuckle at her as he shoved the burger on her hands and Avaloth, like a hungry bunny kept munching on it without uttering a word.

He said, "Now, don't eat it like you haven't eaten for years."

"But I haven't eaten for days."

He stiffened as he pursed his lips but he diverted the conversation. "Take the tissues and wipe your mouth after having each bite."

But Avaloth's hands were full at the time as she blinked at him and looked at the tissue then to her hands. "How am I supposed to do that!"

Andrew rolled his eyes as he took the tissue and wiped her mouth. He felt like a father teaching his child manners while eating.

"There." He said but she was too busy to use the tissue.

He signed and looked out from the windows. His eyes fell on a particular store from across the street and he thought, they needed to go there after this.

His eyes moved to inside and he saw almost everyone's eyes were at them. He got startled and furrowed his brows. Some were giving him adorable looks and some smirked at him as their eyes moved between Avaloth and him. He raised a questioning brow. What's wrong with them?

Then he realised, not a while ago he fed her and wiped her mouth like a caring and gentle boyfriend. It was the boyfriend thing to do and he almost face palmed himself and cringed at the thought. He didn't see it like that!

People! They wouldn't stop their weird fantasies...

Avaloth moaned as she finished the burger while he sipped on his coke from the can. Her eyes went to the cinnamon roll.

Andrew said, "It is for you as well. See if you like it or not."

Her hands were about to reach it when Andrew sighed. "Take the spoon and cut it."

She did as he said. She cut the roll and with some struggle, she managed to take the roll in the spoon. As she poured it in her mouth, she froze.

Andrew raised a brow. Did she not like it?

Then a moan let out from the back of her throat as she melted in her seat. He almost spill the drink as a laughter threatened to come out at her adorable reaction to the food. He could get that she never had anything like this and he could also assume that she wasn't accustom to the etiquettes of table mannerism. He sighed. What a nuisance devil she was.

As they finished their food, Avaloth gave a grin while her hands rubbed her belly and her tail wiggled behind her. Andrew froze as he hissed, "Hide your tail!"

Avaloth seemed to be forgetting about it as she hid it and looked everywhere if anyone had seen it. It seemed like she had no control on her tail.

Andrew stood up and said, "Alright, let's go."

She nodded enthusiastically and followed him as he led her to the shop from across the street. A shoe shop.

As they entered the attendee said with a smile, "Welcome to our sho-" then her eyes fell on the devil's bare feet. She eyed her and Andrew could almost see her nose cringed at Avaloth's plain dressing sense.

"She broke her heels." Andrew answered before the her mind could reach any conclusions.

The girl nodded with a fake smile as she said, "We have a new collection for heels, if you'd like to check it out."

She came out from the counter and asked Avaloth, "What's your size, ma'am?" The way she said 'ma'am' almost felt like she was mocking her and Andrew felt a bit uncomfortable but he disregarded it.

Avaloth blinked as her eyes moved everywhere because she had no idea what was she talking.

Andrew looked at the shoe measurement chart on the wall and said, "Six."

The attendee looked at him with a gap and nodded with a smile.

She led them toward a section and various heels were placed on the display.

Andrew thought for a moment. The way Avaloth's eyes sparkled at the shoes, he could get she wasn't used to them. Wearing heels would make it more harder for her.

He said to the attendee, "Can you show us something more comfortable and not heels? Maybe some em..." He thought for a moment and realised he had no idea what the women footwears were called. All he knew was heels and boots.

His mother always wore flip flops and it seemed comfortable. Maybe a flip flop?

"Some flip flops maybe?" He said as the girl nodded and she went to bring those.

He released a breath. Damn! It was embarrassing. He looked at Avaloth and she was still gazing around the whole shop while her eyes sparkling at every new shoes she came across.

Avaloth took a glittery heel in her hand and asked, "Is this what you wear on your feet?"

"Yes. But women wear heels not us."

"Strange. They wear only one?" She asked as there wasn't another pair.

"They don't keep both of them together since some might steal it."

She nodded as she took another glittery heel and placed them both on the floor. She put her feet into them and stood with her chin held high but even though she wore high heels, she still hadn't reached Andrew's jaw.

She grinned as she saw her image on the mirror and looked at Andrew through the mirror. She asked with a smug face, "Aren't I looking great?"

Andrew rolled his eyes. "Sure. With two different heels."

She didn't get offended instead she put her hands on her hips as she said, "Heh! I know I am looking great! You are just jealous."

Andrew gave her a look and then an idea popped in his head as a smirk crawled on his lips. "Try walking in those."

Avaloth took a step and lost her balance immediately as she fell on her butt. But thankfully the heels weren't broken.

Andrew laughed. "Yeah, I am really jealous."

Avaloth glared at him while sitting on the floor and took off the heels as she stood up. She put them back, mumbling, "I guess, they are really not for me."

"You don't even wear them everyday. Just go for comfortable ones." He suggested.

The girl came back with bunch of sandals and flip flops as Avaloth chose a red flip flops and she could easily walk in them.

Her grin widened as she walked in those as if she conquered the world just now. Andrew went to the counter as he paid for it and Avaloth's eyes were still sparkling.

She seemed very happy and it made Andrew's lips to curl up as well.
