After a week...

Alexandra titled her head in a questioning way, too tired to repeat the same explanation to Dawne for the hundredth time.

Dawne gave her puppy eyes and began softly, "Look, darling. I know that we both will be in trouble if anyone on earth finds about me and Olee. I completely understand that but I can't just sit in this house simply while you work day and night for us. You are earning and I want to do atleast a minimum contribution for us."

Alexa turned towards the stove and said while shaking her head, "I don't have any complaints about earning and contributing alone. I finally have got myself a family to spend on and see their smiles and enjoyment."

"But what am I supposed to do while you're gone all day?", he stepped forward, wrapped his strong arms around her small waist. He leaned and placed his chin on her shoulder, rubbing her cheek with his cheek, "You know how much I would miss you every single minute I spend alone without you. I need something else to concentrate on, distract myself from the thoughts of you."

Alexandra flipped the bread omelette and sighed, "I know, babe. But...", she kissed his cheek sideways while taking the bread omelette off the pan and placed it on her plate. She flipped the stove off and turned to Dawne in his arms, "I'm just afraid of this world. Even though your appearance is exactly like us, well, you're extremely handsome, like as if you jumped out of a fantasy book. You still don't know enough to do atleast a low job here."

"I'm a quick learner, darling. I can do anything at the first time by a simple observation.", he reasoned, so desparate to convince her.

Alexandra finally gave up with slumped shoulders and she pinched the bridge of her nose. Dawne lowly whined and kissed her neck, "Please, I give my word that I will not cause any trouble or get any unwanted attention."

"It's not just about you, babe.", she hummed and closed her eyes as he placed relaxing kissed all over her neck.

"Okay, then I'll make sure others won't push me into any trouble either."

Alexandra chuckled at his response and she gently detached his lips from her neck by pulling his head back. He smiled at her and she said, "The breakfast is there."

She tilted her head once towards his plate of bread omelette. He didn't even look at it and he grinned at her, "I have one delicious meal right in front of me."

Alexandra narrowed her eyes, "You had that meal the whole night."

He smirked playfully and answered, "What can I say? That meal is quite addictive.", he leaned forward but she pushed him off whole giggling.

She took his plate and handed it to him and she took hers and Olee's. They sat at the dinning table and started to have their breakfast.

Dawne after taking a few bites of his bread omlette, he began to speak with his mouthful, "So...my queen, do I have your gracious permission to get a job for myself?"

She looked up, her lips tugged upwards, "Fine. But you're getting job only from where I choose."

Dawne stopped chewing on his food, gazed at her for a few seconds and then he spoke, "Alright. I agree."

She gave a loving smile to him and they continued their breakfast while explaining to Olee about their decision. The plan was to leave Olee with Dawne while he's on work and Olee have to keep him invisible whenever he was in the city.

Alexa decided to take leave that day so that she could help Dawne find a job but she had already fixed a few familiar places in her mind where she could get him a safe job.
