Restoring the faith

Don't play in the house!

Laying on my front I had a large hand playing with my hair bringing me gently from my sleep.

I lifted my head off the pillow and gave a little grumble. Pulling my half asleep body over to his chest I dropped back down and closed my eyes.

"Not so fast Brit, we gotta get up." Zak whispered.

"Not yet." I mumbled picking up his hand and placing it on my head. I gave his hand a little wobble so he understood what I wanted. He gave a chortle and carried on playing with my hair gently. I was awake now but I didn't want to move.

"We're sharing a room tonight. Is that okay? Or do you want me to book another room?"

"There really wouldn't be much point would there? We've done it before and you've stayed in my room. It's cheaper that we share anyhow. Means I can come with you more often without the channel moaning about our budget." I answered.

"So you don't mind?"

"Of course not. Besides, I'm sharing my bed with you now." I answered.

"I know. And I'll thank you everyday with these." He pulled the back of my cami top up revealing the bottom of my back he stroked his fingers across it gently for back tickles.

"Hmm. Good payment process." I smiled.

I enjoyed it for a while before I had a sudden thought.

"Hey, were you serious about moving?" I asked lifting my head off his chest to see his face.

"Yeah, I think it's time I did."

"So it wouldn't help if I stayed over yours a few nights a week with you?" I asked. His eyes looked at me and his head settled with a frown.

"Why would you want to do that?" He asked tilting his head.

"It was just a thought, that was all. That maybe I could stay over yours for a couple days and you could stay over mine?"

"Yeah I get that but why would you want to?" He asked.

I began tracing his Dracula tattoo slowly "Because I think you're giving up on that house a little too easy."

He went to speak when I covered his mouth.

"I get that it's hard, I really do and I understand that it keeps you awake but you could cleanse the rooms and push it into a room couldn't you? It's been done before but you sir didn't keep it up. Plus I really like your house and if I could ever afford it I would buy it." I answered taking my hand away.

"You think I'm giving up to easily?"

"Zak you're never going to give up your job are you? So what's to say you move house, get another and bring something else home? It's your line of work, I'm not saying change it because it's who you are but at least consider the options you have. Besides... With a demon at your disposal you could learn more about them if you keep in talks with Bill Chappel and see what devices you create with his help." I answered.

"Has anyone ever told you, you have a really smart head on your shoulders?"

"That's why you employed me I think and the fact I whip you boys into shape and keep you all on leashes until I let you off into a lockdown."

"Yeah, I'm suppose to be your boss funny enough."

"Looks like I missed that memo." I giggled.

"So what do you think I should do about my house?"

"Let's get it cleansed, blessed or whatever you need to do. Confine it, let's just do the sleep here sleep there for a few weeks and see how it goes? What's the worse that can happen?" I asked.
