Again sorry for any spelling mistakes! I've written a lot more now so enjoy!






Once the three men left, the butler from before led me to the kitchen. Now of course I was sad and lonely and crying both inside and out, but wow the kitchen. It was twice the size of any commercial kitchen I'd ever seen and filled to the brim with every tool, spice, and ingredient I could ever need. On the counter was a paper and pen for the weekly meal plan, and a groceries list that, as butler man said, was in case I needed to get anything from the store. He also told me I could use or buy any ingredients, no matter the price! So even though I was scared sh*tless and dying on the inside, I couldn't helped but be a little excited at all the possibilities. I didn't really know what the three men would like so I decided to do different cuisines each day, pastas, chicken curry, Korean barbecue, seafood, burgers, you name it. I had so many ideas, and despite my situation, I was eager to cook.

Surprisingly all three men approved of my menu. I kept the breakfasts simple, switching between sweet and savory pretty regularly, and for the dinners I did whatever felt right. I guess it all worked out.
"Looks good to me" Caesar said
"Yum." Was all I got from Chris. And a simple nod of an approval was the only sign of acknowledgment I received from Nick. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bummed no one was as excited as I was over the meals, but I guess in reality it's a good thing. After that I was sent back to my room, being told there was nothing I needed to cook tonight, but tomorrow I'd have to get up at 6am and prepare breakfast. I took this time to plan my escape, or at least attempt to plan. I couldn't think of any way out other than being let outside, and even if I was let out, there's no way I would be let out alone. I decided to change into some pjs that were hung in my closet, and try and get some shut eye. I set my alarm and had barely laid my head in the pillow before I was out cold.

The next morning I woke up pretty easily, actually I practically jumped out of bed. I was so excited to use the big kitchen that I showered and got dressed within 10 minutes and then heading downstairs to start cooking. I had used my time yesterday to find where everything was, so I didn't have trouble gathering what I needed. This morning I was making my famous sour cream pancakes, and yeah they sound gross, but on my life they're the best pancakes in this world. I was mixing up the batter when I heard someone come down the stairs.
"Hey little man what's on the menu today." It was Caesar and I was almost thankful for that, almost. He seemed to be more laid back, though that's not saying much when you think of who I'm comparing him to.
"Oh um sour cream pancakes!" At that Caesar gave me an odd look.
"I promise they're so good!" I don't know why I was trying to convince him, but he just chuckled and walked to the dining room. As I continued baking Chris trudged downstairs and headed over to join Caesar, and shortly after Nick walked down too.
"How long until breakfast." Nick didn't seem any more cheerful than yesterday, but what did it matter anyways.
"I-uh need just 5 more minutes, sorry." At that Nick grumbles and went to join Caesar and Chris.

"Here you guys go um my famoos sour cream pancakes!" I set the plates down in front of each of them and now wasn't quite sure what I should do.
"I'll just uh- go now -heh." But then Chris grabbed my wrist and pulled me back with enough force that I tripped and fell smack dab in front of them. Oh. My. God.
"Oh gosh sorry little man didn't mean to hurt you there." He laughed and I got up as quick as I could, I could feel the heat moving from my neck to the tip of my nose.
"No-ah..um it's fine. Uh...um did you need something?" I couldn't stop stumbling it was all too embarrassing.
"Oh I just need to make sure these pancakes aren't poisoned or anything." Really? He couldn't have just told me to come back, he had to pull me!
"Right um uh, sorry I'm uh not sure what I should uh do." Gosh I must look like a cherry tomato right now.
"Here take a bite of mine." At that Chris cut off a small piece off one pancake.
"Oh here we go." I heard Caesar say and also thought I caught a glimpse of him rolling his eyes. Then suddenly Chris reached for my face and grabbed my jaw, which was easy due to his hands being larger than my face.
"Open wide Alex." What the h*ll was going on!
"I-uh-" and then he shoved his fork into my mouth. At first I didn't know what to do, I was in shock at what just happened and I froze.
"Swallow." That was all Chris said, and I really hoped no one noticed my cheeks get a little pinker when he did.
