little number nine

tomorrow

Lou's pov:

I was washing of the dirt of the bike from my last ride when Debbie suddenly shouted "Hey everyone, listen up!" and I looked up. She got up from the sofa and looked around her as the others gathered around her. Tammy and Rose came from the kitchen and Constance slided down the stairs on the railing, that I had just repaired from when it broke last week, almost falling when she hit the ground. I rolled my eyes at her and she gave me a sarcastic smile. Damn thar girl really knows how to get under my skin.

"I've told you about Danny's daughter Delia before, right?" I nodded and Tammy awnserd "Yes, ofcourse." with a wide smile. "Oh yeah, you've met her." Debbie said and looked at her. "But she was very young then, only a kid. She must be over 20 years old now..." "23" Debbie interrupted. "23, huh. Is she hot?" I asked with a smirk. Debbie gave me a death stare and I looked away, smiling to myself. "She will come live with us here for a while." Tammy smiled even more, she must really like her.

"When will she arrive?" I asked. "Tomorrow morning. She'll take a cab here." "Alright, I'll get one of the rooms ready. Do you think she would want the one beside yours?" "I don't know, I'll call and and ask her." "Alright." She got her phone up and Tammy started talking to Rose excitedly. I slowly got closer to Con and she stood completely still just staring at me. "If you slide down those stairs one more time I'll throw you out the window..." She stood there totally frozen for a few second before she rushed up the stairs. I chuckled a bit and stepped over to Debbie.

I could hear a voice talking softly trough the phone, she sounded really sweet. I wonder what she looks like... "So, Lou wondered where you'd want your room. There's one right beside me, and a couple between Lou and Constance on the same floor." Delia started talking trough the phone again but I couldn't quite figure out what she was saying. "Yeah, Constance's your age, but she doesn't sleep here all the time. Lou lives here full time though so you won't have to be alone in the house. And I'll be here too of course." Debbie said and waited a little while before she said "That sounds good, I'll just ask her real quick." She turned to me and covered the mike on her phone. "She wondered if she could take the room next to mine." "Yes of course! I'll get to it right away." I awnserd and started to walk towards the stairs. Debbie mouthed a 'thank you' and started talking to Delia again.

When I was at the bottom of the stairs Con came around the corner at the top. She looked at me and a grin started forming on her lips. "Oh don't you dare" and with that she jumped onto the railing and slided down. "You piece of shi-" I wisperd and when she came right beside me I grabbed her and picked her up, threw her over my shoulder and turned around and walked over to Tammy. "Jesus Lou!" She mumbled as Constance tried to kick me in the back. "Just take the child while I tear down the stairs." and I put her down beside Tammy. "Thank you, TamTam." I said and walked away.

After a few hours I was done cleaning and getting the room ready. I added some extra pillows and books from my room, I also put a few clothes in the wardrobe that I thought would maby fit her. When i was making the bed Debbie walked in. "Wow. It looks really good in here." She walked over to the nightstand next to me. "Are these your books?" "Yeah, I've read them all so I figured they'd be to better use here if she gets bored." "Mhm..." she mumbled and picked a book up, "Carol. I really liked this one. And I doubt she'll be bored with you around all the time..." She gave me a serious look. I knew what she meant. "I'll be careful with her, I promise." "You better be..." She said and looked down as she put Carol back.

"Or what? You're gonna put me in jail?" I asked with a smirk. "Maybe." She said and I chuckled a bit. "Lets get something to eat, alright?" I looked away. "Come on, you'll need energy for tomorrow!" I scoffed and she laughed, "You're an idiot, but fine, chinese?" "You read my mind." "Well, I'm a witch." I said and pushed her onto the bed.

She looked at me confused, almost looked scared. I laughed and quickly said "last one to the door pays!" and hurried out. "Not fair!" She yelled behind me.
