I am sorry it took so long to upload, ive just had a hard couple of weeks and I just couldn't pull enough energy out to write anything. This is really short, and I didn't really take much time in attempting to edit, so sorry about that too.

River


I was awakened by the sound laughing as I opened my eyes looking around my new room. As I thought about yesterday's events and how disappointed I was in myself. I rolled over and could see the computer monitor and all four views of Jane's room. She was laying on her stomach across her bed playing on her computer. She laughed more and I tried to close my eyes and go back to sleep some more because today was going to be the first official day of babysitting her. Normally this would be my day off and I would spend it with my family, but Dante said it would be good to spend time together to get used to being around so it will not look suspicious.

I must have drifted back to sleep because when I opened my eyes again the time had jumped an hour and was now 11 am. I jumped out of the bed and looked over at the monitor and could not see her in anywhere. I ran and slipped a new shirt and pants on and ran out the room. The hallway was quiet, I could hear light chatter coming from closed rooms. I went to the stairs as I took them as quickly as I could, as I stood at the bottom I could hear a television through the hallway behind me and I need to check it. As I walked silently, trying to be as quiet as possible to not disturb whoever was in to the room because if I'm caught not knowing where Jane is I would be in trouble. I looked around the corner quickly as I could see the back of Jane's blond head sitting on the couch eating a bowl of cereal. I sighed in re-leaf nobody noticed my absents and tattled on me. I walked in and hopped over the back of the couch as she gave me a dirty look

"Good morning princess" she rolled her eyes and went back to watching television and eating her bowl of Lucky Charm

We sat silently watching television ads about idiotic products that are a waste of money. When her show started up I groaned and rolled my eyes at what she was watching. I heard her spoon clatter against the ceramic bowl, she was watching the history channel. I could feel her glaring at me as I made noise at the people talking.

"What is your problem?" she snapped at me after my fourth scoff on one minute
"This show is my problem" I said as I laughed at the person talking
"What's wrong with Ax Men?" she said setting her bowl on the coffee table in front of her where my feet now sat
"Are you seriously asking me that?" I said looking at her she looked mad
"Whatever it is a good show" I scoffed as she sat back and started watching again with a small smug smile on her face
"That might be, but it does not belong on the history channel" I said with a smirk
"What are you talking about, the channel barely has any good show on it and this is one of them so it does belong" I just stared at her shock and a little angry at how stupid she was "What?" she finally shouted
"Are you serious" she nodded her smiling as if she had won "Then give me an explanation on the historical impact and values that Ax men has that justifies it being on the history channel?" I said as she looked at me angry and looked away from me "what was that, that's right there is nothing historical about the show meaning it does not belong on the history channel" I said sitting back feeling smug
"It is still a good show, and I have the remote" she said quietly as she just kept her focus on the television

After a while the show finally ended, a documentary that was actually a significant event came on. I smiled as I heard her huff and I could tell she didn't want to watch the show, but she also didn't want to change the channel because she knew it would be admitting I was right and the channel reality based show do not belong on a history channel. She kept fighting and pursing her lips as she became more unhappy as minutes passed. I really wouldn't have cared if she changed the channel cause in honesty I had already watched it. I just decided it was funnier not to say anything and watch her trying to prove she watched the more intelligent show this channel offers on rare occasions. I could see her constantly glancing at the remote that sat on the table next to her empty bowl. I started laughing after she started glancing out the window, as she whipped her head back toward me giving me a death glare

"That's it, just watch your boring show" she said getting up as she grabbed the bowel and went to put it in the kitchen.


I kept laughing as she disappeared and I heard the sound the dish clinking against the sink as well as water as I got up and turned the television off and started walking toward the kitchen. When I entered she was scrubbing the bowl with more forces than necessary. She glared at me and I laughed as I hopped on the counter next to her and frowned even more.

"So princess are you going to make me some breakfast" I said leaning against the wall think I hadn't eaten in a while and I was getting hungry she scoffed putting her hands on her hips
"Do I look like a maid to you, make your own breakfast you dick" she said as she threw a damp towel at me which I caught easy.

I jumped off the counter quickly and grabbed her arms as she spun around to walk away from me. Jane action angered me, everything she did seem to make me angry or on the other hand really horny. I am frustrated from last nights little fun time and it didn't help that she was walking around in short pajama short and a tank top that showed off her midriff and her sexy navel ring. I spun her around and pushed her up against the counter. Jane looked scared and shocked and I was more shocked that I was being so hot headed with her. Hell, my mother would have said the same thing and I took a step away from her realizing I had pushed up against her. She had made almost a whimpering sound out of fear that had jolted me out of my intended path.

I took a step back realizing I was acting ridiculous and like some tyrant over reacting over something so stupid. I stood there looking ashamed and regretting blowing up over something so stupid. Jane just stood there looking at me clearly scared of me and watching me see what I would do, I guess she didn't trust me. I was best she was afraid of me it would make dealing with her easier, she would listen when I really need her to, but I didn't like being this bad guy in her mind.

"Look I'm sorry, I guess I just get a little hot-headed when I have not eaten in a while" and desperately need to realize some sexual frustration, I thought to myself.
"There is cereal in the bottom cabinets and bowls in the top" she said quietly not looking at me
"Thanks," I said as she turned away from me "Wait, where are you going?" she looked at me confused
"Well" Jane said rolling her eyes" I am going to the mall, to do some shopping to cheer myself up after your antics last night" she said in a snarky voice,
"You can't go to the mall" I said while grabbing a bowl
"I can and I will" she said standing her ground, as I smirked
"No you are not, your parents” said you're grounded, meaning no mall princess" she huffed and looked angry she really didn't like me calling her princess, and a poured a bowl of coco puffs and opened the frig for the milk
"Grounded from clubbing not shopping, I'm going and hopefully you will be gone when I get back" she started to turn to walk away as I started to laugh and follow her toward the stairs "why are you following me? Don't you have some pathetic life to be attending to" I laughed even more
"Oh little princess, you are the pathetic life I'm attending to" she glared while pressing her lips lightly together, as I took a big spoonful of cereal and shoved it in my mouth and chewed as she turned and started stomping out of the kitchen again as I followed she saw and took off running to the stairs.

I laughed as I followed along eating my bowl of delicious goodness as I climbed the stairs more carefully making sure not to spill. As I reached my room I went in as sat at the computer desk as I saw Jane passing in her room with her phone pressed to her ear. She did something and tossed the phone on her bed as it rang again on speaker phone. I leaned back in the chair and smiled as it was my own personal form of entertainment.

"Hello Jane, what do you need honey?" I heard Dante voice come from the speaker and I automatically froze.
"Daddy, I want river gone, like now!" she said frustrated into the phone as the words echoed in my mind, and I know longer felt hungry, I had a sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach
"Oh Jane, what is wrong with River?" he said almost amused
"Don't laugh at me, I'm serious I hate him. He is rude, said I can't go shopping because I'm grounded, thinks he can tell me what to do. I want him gone now!" she yelled as she kept passing and running her hand through her hair
"Jane, I will talk to him about going to the mall, but as for replacing him that is not going to happen" I heard Dante say and smiled "River is highly recommended, highly skilled, and a wonderful boy. I have never heard anyone say a bad thing about him, so your accusations is a little far-fetched to believe sweetly" she screamed
"So what? You're just going to let him do whatever he wants like order me around and threaten me" Jane said stopping staring at the phone
"Well, I will have a chat with him about the mall, but if he is threatening you and ordering you as say, then there is a good reason. Gino and Mandy raised that boy perfectly I even wish he was my son because he is exactly the type of person I would trust to take over after me. That is why I entrust him with you because I know in the end he will take care of you and keep you safe tell your married and then your husband will take over his job"
"So basically what you're saying is that I'm stuck with him until I get married" she said upset
"Yes, in a way" Dante said in an amused tone
"This is so unfair, why are you doing this to me? I hate him daddy, please why does it have to be him?" she said crying now
"Jane I am busy I will be back Monday night River will accompany to school also, so no more skipping out with your little friends. I have to go, busy to do to make money for your mall trips. Give River a chance he is a good kid, behave and I love you" he said
"Bye daddy" she said wiping away her tears, as she hung up her phone.

I felt sick to my stomach, I didn't like that she went to her dad, who is my boss. It felt good that Dante denoted her complaints and he wished I was his son that made me smile, I just felt this horrible sinking feeling in my stomach. I also wish that she didn't hate me, there are a lot of people who do not like me because of whom my loyalty is to or because I'm better than them in one way or another. I just sat there stirring the cereal with my spoon, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and I knew who it was. It was a text from Dante; 'Jane may go to the mall to shop, nothing else. Try to be a little nicer to her'. I didn't respond because he is a busy man, and I didn't want to be responding wasting his time. I rolled my eyes getting up, and heading to Jane's room to tell her we can go to the mall, I sighed this is going to be a long day.
