Chapter 33 Matchmaking In Dark Times

Ms. Nancy's POV

I was excited to have an assignment of matchmaking! It is just so much fun! I think everyone should have love in their life, someone to enjoy the good times together and hold each other through the bad times. Someone to care for you when you were sick and play with you when you are well. Someone to lean on when you are financially stressed and someone to spend your money willy-nilly with when you have an abundance of wealth.

Watching the Blackbourne team that all have a bond with one bird, I asked Tom about that other team. The Anderson's, he told me, have one bird that they all share. It looks like this might be the norm for a couple teams here in the near future.

Vivian came in the kitchen looking sleepy. "Good morning, honey girl. Want some coffee?" I held a cup out to her.

"Yes thank you." Vivian had her long brown hair pulled up in a haphazard messy bun that was falling off the side of her head.

"May I help you do something else with your hair? I could braid it or even put it in a tight clean bun?" I offered. When handling the food we really do try to keep it sanitary and free of hair.

Vivian sat on a stool, "Do what you want. I haven't really woken up yet." She sipped at her coffee and I made quick work of braiding her hair in a intricate loose fishtail braid. Just as I finished, Diesel joined us.

"Well if it isn't Mr. Sexy Soux Chef!" I saw Vivian peek a few glances his way but quickly looked away. "Are you ready to chop all your worries away?"

"Yeah, okay." He barely responded.

Well, this won't do one bit. I clapped my hands in a loud random pattern. "We are going to have fun in here if it's the last thing we do! So, let's play a little quick word get to know you. We have about 5 minutes before we need to hop to it with breakfast. We will hold a steady rhythm of pat-pat-clap-clap-pat-pat-clap-clap. I will give a category and you have to say the first word that comes into your head on the clap. We go around our little circle, each time it is my turn, I will give you a new category and Diesel goes second with Vivian third. Got it?"

They both nod their heads but do not looking happy to have to play games at O'dark thirty in the morning. "Let's begin,". I started the pattern, pat-pat-clap-clap-pat-pat, "animal".

Pat-pat, "Rooster." Diesel

Pat-pat, "Chicken." Vivian

Pat-pat, "Dessert" me

Pat-pat, "Ice cream" Diesel

Pat-pat, "Chocolate" Vivian

Pat-pat, "sport's team" Me

Pat-pat, "Panthers" Diesel

Pat-pat, "Yankees" Vivian

Pat-pat, "innuendo" me (I was fighting a smile)

Pat-pat, "sausage" Diesel

Pat-pat, "Golf" Vivian (I quirked my eyebrow at her, liking her answers so far)

Pat-pat, "Family" Me

Pat-pat, "left behind" Diesel (he look lost and sad)

Pat-pat, "future" Vivian

Pat-pat, "Chidren" Me

Pat-pat, "Smart as Fuck" Diesel (he was smirking)

Pat-pat, "mini me" Vivan (she appeared dreamy eyed)

Pat-pat, "sexual position" me (I just hope they answer)

Pat-pat, "upside down" Diesel (I almost burst out with laughter and I saw he was smirking at Vivian as if challenging her to one up him in the 2 beats she had to think)

Pat-pat, "experimentation" Vivian (she winked back at him)

Pat-pat, "Thank you" me (I snorted with laughter as I could feel the sexual tension in the room growing between these two)

Pat-pat, "you're welcome" Diesel (being a smart ass)

Pat-pat, "any time". Vivian.(what a sweetie girl)

With that, Vivian and I were leaning against each other as we laughed like little girls. Diesel shook his head, "The shit I allow you birds to talk me into." He turned to go wash his hands, but it looked like he was fighting to keep a smile off his face. Got you! My matchmaking skills are top notch.

I called after him, teasing, "You know you loved it as much as any hormonal preteen girl." He grunted at me. I turned to Vivianand whispered, "He is some definite sexy eye candy, is he not? His whole team is!"

Vivian hid her smile behind her cup of coffee, "For sexual position, did you hear he said upside down?" She fanned her face, "Oh, the images I conjured up with that one."

I placed my hand over hers, "I think the big question is, are you willing to love more than one man full of sex appeal?"

"Ms. Nancy, what are you talking about?" She looked confused and a bit taken aback.

"Surely you have seen how Sang interacts with her whole team of boys, and they with her?"

"Yes, but I am not sure how their family relationships work." Vivian expressed her confusion.

"It is a bit unconventional, but it would seem that she is dating all nine of them and they her. What are your thoughts on being involved with a whole team, such as... Let's just say... Oh I don't know...Diesel's team?"

She flushed but a small smile tugged at the corner of her lips. Her eyes stared at nothing in particular as she was in her own thoughts or fantasies, I'm not sure. She broke out of her daze when Diesel came back in the room holding a crate full of vegetables. He set the crate on the island Vivian was sitting at and picked up a large cucumber that his hand barely fit around, "What are we using these for today?"

And because our brains had just been thinking all kinds of kinky, we both barked out our cackling and snort filled laughter. Diesel shook his head, "I don't think I will ever understand woman." And we laughed even harder.

"Sweet cheeks! You aren't made to understand us. You are made to please us and make us happy." I must have said enough to get his mind in the dirty dirty gutter with us because I saw the heated gazes he kept shooting toward Vivian. Am I good or what?
