The Tail of a Wolff (UNDER MAJOR EDITING)

41. 20 questions

I sit on the the couch watching Netflix as everyone has gone to sleep. Since I woke up mid day, I won't be able to sleep. Believe me, I tried.

I look around the room as I zone out of the movie, I haven't been able to concentrate because I have so many questions. For example, why is the house so big if there's only two people living here? Or where the hell am I???

I sigh, pausing the movie, as I get up from the couch and walk around, getting a good feel of the place that I'll be living in for a while. I head up to the up stairs because I have already seen everything downstairs.

I count the doors as I make random turns down the hallways, so far I've counted 19 bedrooms excluding mine. Tallis starts to wail from the other side of the house. From where I am, it sounds very faint but I know how loud he can be.

For a small thing he's got a pretty big voice.

I increase my footsteps as I walk in the direction of the cry. I stop when I get to a hallway with two turns, where do I go, left or right? I choose to go right, but when I wound up on another dead end, I turn around heading back from the direction that I came from. I continue counting the number of doors, 24 now.

I go back down the hallway where I was supposed to go to, left. I head out of the bedroom area as I get back to the staircase. I know my way from here.

When I get to the doors, Luka is about to go in but stops short when he sees me. All he does is nod before he walks away and I frown. Is he really that mad at me for wanting to know where we are?

I watch him leave, as soon as he enters his room, I enter mine. Tallis waves his arms wildly in the air as he cries, I go to him and pick him up, consoling him in my arms. My hands touch the saggy diaper and I instantly know what's wrong.

I set him back in the cot "Mommy's gotta look for the diapers all right, I'll be one second?" I open the many bags that are situated in the room, that I was too lazy to unpack.

But I can't find the wipes. Where are the wipes?

Tallis let's out a little scream as I groan, and I decide to improvise on wipes.

Water splashes onto me as I gasp "Oh, you wanna be like that?" I flick my fingers back and forth in the gigantic sink, splashing him back "I win!" I grin as Tallis chortles.

My heart races for now reason as I become hyper aware of someone in the room. I already know who it is "Why are you bathing him in the sink?" He asks.

"Its perfect, I'm not gonna drown him in that Jaccuzi. Actually -" I get a bright idea "we could've bathed together, right buddy?" I tickle him and I get the same reply I always get.

Laughter.

"Then I would've walked in on a magnificent sight" he smirks.

I blush furiously as Luka walks into the bathroom. He stands a distance away from the baby splashing water onto me, but close enough to stand close to me. Or I'd like to assume...

"I know I upset you with the coordinates thing, I'm really sorry. I should've talked to you before assuming anything, to anyone" I say sadly.

I wasn't thinking about the consequences, giving up the coordinates might as well be typing the address into a GPS. Someone could find us, but I doubt it, I trust Charlie.

"No, the fault lies with me. I should have never reacted the way I did, I should have sat you down and explained the risks. This is a private location, one that is dear to me" he doesn't take his eyes away from mine.
