My Kids and I. (Unedited)

"She's gonna show me around the tattoo shop!" I squealed, telling Simon about my day and encounter with Alicia, of course he didn't care as he stuffed himself with the crispy fries.

"Hmm."

"Don't eat too fast, you'll choke Simon." I warned, taking a spoonful of the fried rice before putting it in my mouth, my toes curled at the amazing aroma and by the blend of spices that contributed to this amazing taste. "Get off my back and eat." He grumbled and I nodded, eating the various types of food she brought for us. From cooked meals, to snacks, to cakes and pastries, and lastly drinks and water. We did have to feed Peppa, but not the things that were harmful to her.

"She's a beautiful soul!"

"And I'm stuffed too!"

The day finally arrived, were I would see were Alicia worked, and maybe I would come by instead of waiting for her by our local spot. We decided to meet each other were we would normally meet each other, but the slight difference was I had to meet her there exactly at 11am, seeing that was her coffee break.

Today was unlike any other day, it was beyond cold and there were huge dark grey clouds that blocked the sun and the beautiful sky. A storm was approaching us and luckily it wasn't moving too fast.

"Twilight!" I heard someone call, turning my head in both directions I managed to spot a redhead in the crowd. Smiling I walked up to her, ignoring how rudely people stared at me, "I'm so excited to see your place!" I squealed waving my dirty hand, I didn't want to hug her and risk, because I would say that I haven't bathed in three weeks and a few days but, the redhead surprised me as she engulfed me in a hug. I gasped, following suit as I hugged her too, surprised that she didn't gag at my horrible smell.

"Come one let's go, everyone is dying to meet you." She pulled away, grabbing my hand as she led me through the ridiculously large crowd of people. As we walked, I did know that she spoke to me but, I couldn't hear a thing, my mind was occupied by how she would treat me like a normal human being and another that contributed to me not hearing her were the bush streets, after a couple of turns we finally reached her tattoo shop and I suddenly felt scared, I didn't want to enter anymore and Alicia realized this.

"Come on, everyone's waiting including Damien." She wiggled her eyebrows, I stated at her confused as ever, "You do know that I don't know this Damien person and stop trying to set me up with him."

"Loosen up, you're beautiful who wouldn't you now come on!" She squealed, dragging me into the shop, the bell that rang whenever someone walked in or out rang but, I didn't mind that as I took in the beautiful shop.

The entire store was pretty combination of red and black, the walls painted red and hints of black here and there, wholes as the floors were black marble tiles. The furniture where your typical black leather sofas and chairs, but I was amazed by the art pieces on the walls, with the name of the artist beside the artworks.

"Amazing right?" She asked, I nodded lost for words this was beautiful and I could see why she enjoyed working here. "I can see why you love it so much." I laughed, looking at her and as I did this, I finally took in the fall figures behind her, scared was an understatement as I stared at these huge men.

"Ohh these are my boys, they work here too!" She introduced, with a warm smile on her face before turning to her friends, "This is Twilight!"

"Umm...hi!" I waved but, they weren't too happy about my presence here as they scrunched their nose in disgust. "What is a street rat doing here?" One said, I whimpered at the name he gave me but, I did understand where he came from, it wasn't normal for a hobo to come to your workplace.

"Shut the fuck up Troy! Don't call her names!" She screamed at the man called Troy. He rolled his eyes walking away from all of us, I was grateful that there weren't any costumers in here yet.

"She's my friend, and y'all have to treat her with respect! Now where's Damien?" She growled, I felt uncomfortable so uncomfortable that I basically stood still. Seeing her angry wasn't a pretty sight, her caramel skin would turn red in an instant, which kinda was cute to see because she would match her vibrant red hair.

"He went out to get us coffee and biscuits but, he's taking longer than usual because someone ordered a million shit!" The guy in the center sighed, I giggled knowing that Alicia ordered so much.

"Sorry." I apologized, the moment he glared at me. "Hey I couldn't let my friend starve!" She smiled, walking up to me as she held my hand. "Damien went to this bakery that has the best pastries so I'm sure you'll like a croissant with custard and berry filling or the muffin where you break in two, chocolate comes out!" She squealed, already feeling the cakes in her mouth. I laughed, happy I'll get to try these things that seem to be her favorite, although I have tasted it during the times where I was a rich, spoilt brat.

"That sounds amazing." She gave a 'duh', type of look before she allowed me to take a seat on one of the couches out front, I didn't really want to at first but, she didn't seem to care before she basically force me down the soft thing.

"Damien's going to kill you for bringing that!" One said, pointing at me as he spoke to Alicia. "Watch your mouth Vincent!" She growled, brushing away him and rest of them away as she turned her attention to me.

"Did you eat today, I did make sure to pack breakfast for you?" She asked, leaning back into the couch, "Well not really, I had to give it to Simon and also Peppa, he needs his strength if he's go to pick up those cans and bottles but, I did eat a sandwich." I smiled assuring her that I did eat, what she brought us was enough to last us for a two days if we didn't say to fill our stomach.

"That's not good Twilight! You're watermelon!" She sighed, in the air drawing a baby bump, I did find it funny how she would call pregnancy a watermelon. "Why do you call of that?"

"Well because, it's like you women ate a watermelon and shit out a baby." She scrunched her face, it was no rocket science that Alicia was terrified of pregnancy, "Don't forget you're a woman too!" I flicked her forehead, she whimpered rubbing the spot I hit

"Hey that hurts!" She laughed and I laughed along but, that all stopped when the door bell rang and on walked, a tall , muscular man who beauty was simply undefined. He scanned the shop, sniffing the air as he turned towards my direction, instantly my heart flattered as he stared at me but, as ever a tragedy I was to humans.

"What is this disgusting piece of shit doing here?!"
