Sinful

guilt

I don't know how long we stayed like that. Just cuddled up on the couch, until I fell asleep and when I woke up the screen was blue, bathing Michael and me in that faint ghostly light.
He looked so beautiful, apparently he hadn't had that much rest before either, because he still was asleep with Amon also sleeping at his feet.

"Traitor" I whispered to Amon. The cat seemed to like Michael more than he liked me. I turned again to see Michael, afraid to move too much in case I could woke him up.

He looked younger, I still wasn't sure how old he was but right now he looked just like me. Maybe a year older or two, but when he was awake he looked older. Like he had to mature too early, and obviously it was part of him having authority.

I felt so tempted to touch his hair, his beautiful long hair that always looked perfectly in place. Hell he had better hair than I did.
So without moving too much I decided to caress his cheek softly, I touched a strand of his hair and then I continued admiring him.

"I think you are the only stalker Diza" said Michael without opening his eyes.
He startled me and I was about to take my distance but he hold me there.

"I- was just moving you hair from your face, you were drooling over it" I said, trying to save a piece of my now inexistent dignity.

He just laughed and rubbed his eyes a little.

"Sure" he said looking at me.

"Look at this beautiful demon we have here" Michael said picking up Amon. The cat made a little sound and then stretched on the couch.

"Seems like we all had a nice rest" I said scratching my cat's head.

I noticed Michael was staring at me.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"You finally look more calm" he said with a smile.

I wasn't going to admit it, but this time I hadn't dreamed about anything. I think it was because of Michael but there was no need to let him know that.

"I just... liked the movie" I said.

"Liar you didn't saw a thing" he said

"How would you know, you were sleeping" pathetic, I know.

He just laughed a little and then stand up.

"we need to go. The cooperative will visit us today. So you must follow the new rules."

"What rules?"

"Well you know, for starters the dress code, also don't let them see Amon, and try not to talk too much with them okay?"

"What's wrong with Amon?"

"He... isn't supposed to be here"

"Oh.. okay"

"Your new maid will be Nicole, so let me introduce her" he said standing up.

"I don't like this having a maid thing"

"Well you have it whether you like it or not" Michael said opening the door for me.

We walked back to my bedroom and there was a girl dressed in grey already waiting in front of the door. As soon as she saw us she vowed.

"Please don't do that" I said, there was no reason for her to treat me as someone superior.

"I'm sorry Ms Ableman"

"Diza this is Nicole, your new maid"

"Please call me Diza" I said looking a little mad at Michael.
