How Dare You?

6

"I hope you like spaghetti." I say as I dish up for us.

"I like anything with meat." He says and i chuckle.

"Men, you all are the same." I say and he quirks a brow.

"How so?" He asks as i sit down next to him and put his plate down in front of him.

"Well, for one my granny always says that men won't eat a meal without meat... my mother says that all men like women who are confident and know what they want. I know that these are all stereotypes but I guess there's a little truth in everything." I say and start eating.

"You don't have any stereotypes about Men?" He asks 

"Not really, i feel that everyone has the right to choose what makes them happy. I'm feminine and i like being that way, if someone tells me that i should change myself and be a tomboy I would feel unhappy and insecure." I explain while continuing to eat and look up to see that his plate is clean.
"You want more?" I ask but he shakes his head.

"It was delicious, thank you, i haven't had a propped good homecooked meal in months. Maybe even years." He says as i finish my last bit of pasta

"Why not? You obviously have a lot of money, so why not hire a chef?" I ask as he places our plates in the sink.

"I'm a picky eater, always have been and it would just be a waste of money. I'm almost never home, i work all day and come home only to eat and sleep."  He explains before gulping a glass of water and i watch as his addams apple bobs up and down with every gulp.

"So you're planning to leave me here alone all day? Or am i going to work with you? Why am I actually here?" I ask and he sighs.

"It's complicated, you won't be home alone, the maids and guards will be here." He says and runs a hand through his hair again.

"So you just want me to be here?" I ask

"I don't see the need to explain myself to you. Here's your phone, you have 15 minutes." He says and walks out of the kitchen.

I huff and roll my eyes.

He could at least tell me why I'm here.

I dial granny's number and she picks up almost immediately.

"Hey granny." I say and I hear her cry out in joy.
"Granny please don't cry, I'm fine. Mr Devlin is taking good care of me here. He isn't so bad." I say trying to calm her down and i hear her call the boys.

"Eva! Is that really you!" Evan shouts through the phone and i chuckle.

"It's really me kid! Shouldn't you be sleeping?" I ask playfully.

"Ethan has just stopped crying, we miss you. Come home." Evan says and i sigh.

"I can't but I promise that I'll come visit okay." I say

"Eva, i can't sleep without my song." I hear Ethan say with a sad voice.

"Didn't Evan song for you?" I ask

"He had a ugly voice." Ethan protests and i chuckle.

"Okay, go to bed, all of you. I'll sing." I say and hear them shuffle around.

"We're in bed." Evan says and i smile.

"Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly,

lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly,
you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly,
who told you so?

'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly,
that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly, dilly,
set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly,
some to the fork,

Some to make hay, dilly, dilly,
some to cut corn,
While you and I, dilly, dilly,
keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly,
Lavender's blue,

If you love me, dilly, dilly,
I will love you
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly,
And the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly,
out of harm's way

I love to dance, dilly, dilly,
I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly,
You'll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly,
Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly,

I told me so." I sing as tears roll down my face.
"Better now Ethan?" I ask but receive no reply from him.

"Works every time." I hear granny whisper.
"Did he hurt you my dear?" She asks

"No granny, i think he just wants me here to cook for him." I say

"Your food is the best I've ever tasted." She says.

"Five minutes." I hear a voice say at the entrance of the kitchen.

"Is mom still home?" I ask

"Yeah, she hasn't left her room since you were in there. I can still hear her crying in there, what did you say to her?" Granny asks

"She needs rehab, i asked Mr Devlin to get her the best rehab money can buy. I have to go now, i love you and kiss the boys for me." I say and hang up. I put my head on the island in front of me and sigh.

No crying.

I gulp back my tears and hold my phone out for Hades to take. He comes over and stuffs it into his pocket and i see tears in his eyes.

"Hey, are you Okay?" I ask and he clears his throat.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Go get some sleep it's late." He says and i nod.

"Thank you." I whisper and he nods.

"Be awake by 8 am tomorrow to make me breakfast, we have a few things to discus then I'll leave for work." He says and i nod.

I can't really say no to him, can I?

We enter the elevator and i look up at him. His facial features are so stone cold but he helped me when I got a panic attack.

"Why did you help me?" I ask softly.

"When?" He asks

"When I had that panic attack back home." I specify and he stiffens.

"It's late." He says just as the doors open to "my" room.
"Goodnight Evangeline." He says and i walk into the room.

"Goodnight." I say as the doors of the elevator close.

I go shower and put on a clean pad and pajamas before going to bed. I toss and turn the entire night and end up looking through the bookshelves for a book to read.

One book in particular catches my eye, The Outlander, a historical romance novel. I pick it up and go back to the huge bed. I look at the time on the bedside table, it's 1:30 am, i look for my glasses in my bag and when I find them I slip them on. I switch on the bedside lamp and start reading.

The book is so well written and has a magical storyline that has me reading it all night. When I look back at the time i see that it is almost 7:30 so I memorize the page number and run to the bathroom. I do my morning routine and slip on a pair of warn out black jeans, a white knit sweater along with a pair of old vans that i hardly ever wear. I put my hair up in a messy bun and take the elevator downstairs.

I follow the way we used last night and find the kitchen after a while of searching. I pull out ingredients and start preparing breakfas. I sing and dance softly around the kitchen and soon enough I hear the ding of the elevator. In walks Hades Devlin, wearing a plain black suit with gold buttons, a gold trimmed tie and black shoes that shine.

This man has a great fashion sense.
