I yawned as I woke up, my brother clinging to me. I groaned and realised I wasn't in my room. I paper and looked behind me to see Eddie at his desk, shuffling through bills and shit. I sighed slightly, right I slept here last night. I looked at my brother who was asleep, a death grip around my arm, he must of gotten scared since I know he doesn't like being on his own.

I just laid there, not being able to do much else. My mind kept drifting back to the kiss last night, it was really something special that I hope to never forget. Other than that, does it mean technically I'm Eddie's now? Well I guess I always have been his, in some twisted way, but were we a thing? Something more than a master flirting with a resistant butler?

I sighed, being me I was definitely to scared to ask so I would keep myself, Eddie would talk about it later anyway.

An hour passed and my brother had left half an hour ago to play something. I had stayed on the bed, my back still facing Eddie as I stared blankly at the wall. I was to deep in thoughts to feel the bed dip behind me, or the kiss on the cheek Eddie gave, nor did I hear his deep chuckle when he realised I was in my own world.

He kissed along my neck, nipping a few times and that snapped me out of my thoughts. I shut my eyes and hummed quietly as he continued to kiss, nip and lick along my neck.

He stopped seconds later, getting a quiet whine out of me. Fuck where did that come from?

Eddie chuckled, "now who's the needy one." I blushed and looked down at the sheets, fucking asshole. "I want to give you a little choice Aleks."

"Wh-what is it?"

"Simple, I promise." He kissed my neck gently. "Either you can continue your normal job, helping everyone around, doing all the boring jobs." He snaked his arms round my waist, pulling me closer. He continued his sentence in a whisper. "Or you can become mine, my own personal butler, no more jobs other than the ones I give you."

I never thought this would be a hard question. It'd be nice not having to work other jobs, but handling Eddie. I might love him, but he can be a little...unpredictable. I sighed, better than before right? "O-Ok, I'll be yours" I looked back at him, "forever."

Eddie smiled and kissed me. I kissed back quickly, turning so I was facing him and wrapping my arms round his neck. We broke the kiss a few seconds later, "I love you Aleks."

"I love you to Eddie."

The room was silent other than the quiet rustling of paper. I sat on the edge of the bed as Eddie worked on bills and such. He was running out of money and it was obvious. I wanted to do something to help, but I didn't know what. I couldn't handle two jobs at once, and taking care of my little brother was already hard.

Both me and Eddie jumped as the phone rang. Eddie sighed, hand on his chest as he answered it. "Hello?" Who was it? "Hey dude! What do you need?" If he wasn't talking I'd ask him who it was. "Alright, in an hour? Good! Be there soon!"

"Who was-"

I was cut off when Eddie grabbed my hand and dragging me to the bathroom, "have a shower ok? I'll bring some clothes in from your room."

"But-" Eddie shut the door. I sighed, what got him in such a rush? Was whoever it was on the phone that important?

I just did as Eddie told me and got in the shower, staring and tracing the burn on my side. It wasn't really painful anymore, but it stung if I put to much pressure on it.

I sighed, running my hand along my torso, feeling the scars that the whip left. My body looked truly hidious. I guess it couldn't be helpled...things happen for a reason, right?

When I finished in the shower I hopped out, wrapping a towel around me, including my torso and opening the door. No one was in the room but the clothes Eddie said he'd bring were in front of the door. I got dressed in the bathroom and when I left Eddie was getting changed.

He didn't have either bandages or a shirt on and only wore boxers since he was putting on his pants as I walked in. I blushed deeply, looking away and waiting for him to finished. I heard a chuckle and Eddie kissed my cheek. He still didn't have a shirt or bandages but I tried not to stare at the bullet wounds.

"Your so adorable." I just blushed more, fucking hell Eddie. He just kissed my forehead and put on new bandages and shirt. He looked at the clock and smiled before grabbing his car keys from his desk and heading to the door.

Almost as an instinct I opened it for him, making him chuckle and kiss my head again. I followed him out to the garage and into the convertible. I went to get in the back but Eddie grabbed my wrist loosely, "the passenger's seat." I just nodded, climbing in the seat next to him. When he got the roof up, he left and headed into town.

"E-Eddie who was that o-on the phone and where are w-we going?"

"You'll find out soon." He wore a big smile, it must be someone special...

We drove for a while, thirty minutes I think but I didn't keep track of time. When we finally stopped I stared at the two story building we parking in front of. It was large, but not as big as a mansion, just a plain two story home.

We got out and of the car, heading towards the door of the building. I still couldn't help but stare at the design, it was a beautiful home. Eddie knocked on the door as I stood behind him, hands gripping onto the front edge of my shirt.

It took seconds for the door to swing open and Eddie to get tackled by two people. Eddie chuckled, "hey guys! I missed you so much!"

"We missed you to Eddie!" The blonde all but yelled.

"Dam it Eddie, never leave your friends alone for so long." Another guy with brown hair growled.

Eddie chuckled, "sorry I was just really busy." They stood up and went inside. Eddie stopped at the doorstep and looked back at me since I hadn't moved. "Whats wrong?"

"I...I don-don't like m-meeti-meeting new p-people..." Eddie smiled slightly, going over to me and kissing my cheek.

"Don't worry, I promise you that everything will be ok. You'll get to know them quickly just...trust me." I looked up at Eddie and back down again before nodding. Eddie held my hand gently and led me inside.

People crowded in what I guessed was the main room. We sat in a free spot with me on Eddie's lap. They all introduced themselves and the two who jumped on Eddie before I now knew as Seamus and James. They seemed alright, a little close but I wasn't going to ask.

Dan and Jordan looked like the most professional to me, or I guess the right word would be mature. Jordan though more than the others, kinda strict if they did something he didn't like, which happened a lot in the short time of us being here.

Nick was quiet and as soon as the introductions were over he went to his room, I guess he's shy.

After all that, everyone just started conversations and such, not really caring what was said. I just listened, giggling quietly when they got pissed and insulted one another. I had to admit, these people aren't to bad.

Hey guys, I'm so sorry this took so long but the weather has been in the 40's (for Victoria : P) so I lost motivation to do anything (literally) but its here now! :3

Hope you liked, love you guys :D
