Mila

"Last time someone asked for a day off they never came back," Victoria says as she wipes down the table and I roll my eyes.

"Is he that bad?" I ask and she nods.

"YES! I'm freaking out Mila, so I'm begging you to please help me out here, I can't miss my sisters' wedding."

I look up at her and sigh. "When is it?"

"Next Wednesday, please don't get me fired." I smile, liking how close me and Victoria grew over these short weeks.

"Mommy! Shadow peed again!" Isa calls.

"Shouldn't you be doing homework?" I call back.

"Mom it's Saturday, it's a relaxing day!" I can practically hear her grin from far away and I chuckle.

"I'll go take care of that, while you," she pulls me up. "Goes and talk to your husband for me."

"Not my husband."

"Not yet." She says as she pushes me towards the stairs, I roll my eyes and head up the stairs.

I don't know why but nerves were settling in at the thought of asking him for something, the past few days he's been kind of distant and I've noticed his parents have completely stopped coming over.

I get to his door and hold up my first to knock, I let my fist hit the door three times before a "Who is it?" Can be heard on the other end.

"It's me!" I call.

"Come in." I open the door and step in only to find him not in the room, my eyebrows crease. "In the bathroom." That's when I noticed his bathroom door was open, I closed the door behind me and walked over to the bathroom door.

I pause when I notice him only dressed in a towel, he's leaning over the sink as he stares at himself in the mirror.

I notice the white cream on his face and a razor in his hand. "What are you doing?" I ask.

"Shaving?"

I kinda liked the facial hair...

"Why?" I ask.

His eyebrows just crease before I shake my head changing the subject. "I wanted to talk to
You," I say and he nods.

"Go on.." he says as he starts shaving, he nicks himself and sucks in a small breath.

"Uhh, Do you need help with that?" I ask.

"You know how to use a straight razor?" He asks and I nod, his head tilts before he steps back from the sink handing me the razor as I stand in front of him.

I don't know how I'm going to shave his face as he stands a few feet taller than me, I was about to ask him to bend down for me before I feel his hands on my waist pulling me up onto the counter. "That works..." I say and he raises a brow.

I motion for him to come closer and he does, both of his hands hold the counter beside my legs as he bends down, his face in mine.

I swallow before rinsing the razor and starting, using one hand to stretch the skin away from the razor holding the razor at an angle, and shaving away.

I rinse the razor again. "You wanted to talk?" He says looking up at me as I hold the razor against him again.

"Oh.. yeah," I say as I continue shaving. "It's about Victoria," I say.

"Is she bothering you?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Stop talking before I cut you," I say. "She wanted me to let you know that she's going to be needing a day off next Wednesday," I say as he raises his head, i take the razor off of his face and rinse it letting him speak.
