"So, Trender tell me again what is in style now-a-days."

"Oh, fuck don't ask him that! He'll never shut up."
 
There is a sound of something flying through the air. I walk out to see EJ trying to force feed a kidney to Jeff, L.J. playing nicely with the girls, and Judge Angel's sitting next to Trender who threw the remote of the TV at Masky.
  
I pat the saw dust off my hands, and look at Trender as chaos thrives around me.
 
"Trender, were you a baseball player?" I calmly say.
 
"A long time ago. Why?" He says almost confused.
 
"Ah I guess throwing is just a natural talent of yours."
 
He snickers and pushes up his glasses. He does that when he is proud or bashful. I'm about to go back outside to cut some more wood but Lazari walks up to me with tired eyes and a red nose.
  
"Miss Rose, I don't feel so good."
 
"Don't you dare say, ' I'm sorry Mr.Stark'."
 
She looked up tiredly at me her eyes red as if she had been crying or hasn't had enough sleep.
  
"Okay baby girl, just let me clean up my hands okay?"
  
She nods, and sits down on the stool next to the counter.
 
"Offender!"
   
I wait for the jerk but he doesn't show. I curse to myself and wash off my hands and my face. I turn around and jump back. He is scarily close right now.
 
"What's up?"
 
"You seriously have to stop doing that." I say brushing some fly-aways out of my face.
 
"You called I came, usually it's the girl who cums."
 
I roll my eyes, though it was a good one.
 
"The wood outside needs to be cut, I made lines on everything, all you have to do is cut it."
  
He sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets. Showing his boredom he looked around the kitchen.
 
"Why can't you do it?"
 
"I have other things to do, like run the mansion."
 
I force myself past him to Lazari. I pick her up and walk up stairs as she lays her head on my shoulder.
 
I open her door and smile at the clean room. 'What a good girl.' I have her sit on the edge of her bed. I pull out a purple night gown that she got from Splendor a long time ago. I slide off her shirt and slide that over her head. I clean up her face, take off her socks and pants. I have her lay down as I brush out her hair. I hum silent night to her. You know the good one by Reba Macentire.
  
I give her some children's benadryl and smile at her.
 
"All set sweetheart."
 
"Miss Rose?"
 
I hum in response as I collect her clothes from the floor to put in the dirty clothing bin.
 
"Could you stay with me until I fall asleep?"
 
"Of course sweetheart."
 
"And you too?"
 
I look at Lazari and follow her eyesight to the door. It's Sally and Offender.
 
"Lazari, Sally can't stay in here because she might get ill."
  
She sighs.
 
"I was talking to Uncle."
 
"Don't want to bother him, just-"
 
"Yeah I'll stay until you sleep."

I send a quick glare his way. He sits in the chair next to the bed as I usher Sally away.
 
Lazari does the baby ' gimmie gimmie' hands to me. I crawl into bed with her and hum as I trace invisible shapes on her back.
 
After a while, Lazari is either on light sleep or barely there. Offender speaks, ruining the damned peace.
 
"You could have just said you were going to take care of Lazari."
 
"Now it's not any of your business what I do and don't do."
 
He scoffs and leans back in his chair.
 
"I would give anything for a smoke right about now."
 
I roll my eyes. ' A douche like you would.'
 
He seems to watch her quietly with no emotion. I start to crawl out of the bed when I am lifted up and then down onto the ground.
 
"I could do it myself. "

I say sternly. Not rudely, but sternly.
 
"I know. By the way the wood is all cut."
 
I nod.
 
"Thank you."
 
He smirks. I grab his tie and drag him out of the room as I close the door.
 
"Woah, babes not here."
 
I roll my eyes and let go of him.
 
"I'm busy."

I pat his shoulder as I trot downstairs, Offender is at the bottom of the stairs trying to light a cigarette.
 
"So babe what is the wood for? I mean I have a pretty nice piece of wood myself."
 
I stop on the last step and lean on the banister. Ignoring his joke.
 
"You see I take the large pieces of wood and smack the shit out of annoying people, then I shove it down their throat when they scream. Once they die I serve them up on the dinner table and hide all of the fingers around the house."
 
He nods casually as if what I say is normal.
 
"Kinda creative bro." He snickers.
 
I scoff but smile as I hop down to the floor.
  
"Seriously what are you making?"
He follows me as I pick up clothes and blankets off the ground.
 
"Coffins."
 
I hear him scoff.
 
"Measurements are wrong for that."
 
I hand him the basket he just takes it as I pile more clothes on top.
 
"Making a playground for the kids."
 
He hums in response.
 
"And of course more targets  for the older kids to play with."
  
I look back at him as I grab a coat from the chair. I place it on top.
 
"You know you're not that bad. A pervert but everyone has issues in this house."
  
"I'm going to take that as a compliment, and if that is true what's your deal?"
 
"Just a runaway from an arranged marriage, and dark magic teachers became more pushy so I refused and ran. My guardian wasn't very proud."
  
"Ah. So you are just a witch?"
  
"Honestly no I am just a human, but a Pagan with strong heritage."
 
I take the basket, and see Slender at the top of the stairs looking at us.
  
"Offender stop flirting with the maid. She has work to do."
  
We both snort. I look at him and laugh.
 
"Talk to you later, weirdo."
 
I go to the laundry room alone and start putting laundry into all of the wash machines.
 
"He just wants sex."
 
"I am fully aware of his occupation Slender but I was just having a civilized conversation about what I am building outside, and why I haven't killed you yet."
 
"Do you seriously find yourself entertaining."
 
"Oh yeah I do." I start the machine and turn to him, he's in a fleshy suit. Or his human form.
  
Blue eyes, black hair and that pale skin. He grips my face and I look up at him. Man he is Hot.
  
"Don't fool around with my brothers. You forget you are supposed to be betrothed."
  
"I haven't forgotten, as long as I don't have sex they can't find me, and I don't take off this ring."
  
I grab his hand off my face.
 
"Why a human."
 
"Why a monster."
 
I pull his tie down and kiss him. He tastes like tea. I ate some candy this morning but probably not that good tasting. He pushes my body so it's on the washing machine. I pull back for air.
 
"Don't fool around with my brothers."
 
"I won't, you know I can't."

He sighs and nods.
 
"Turn back."
 
He morphs back into his form. He is now towering over me, I sit on the washing machine and kiss his cheek.
  
"By the way I think Smiles and Grinny are starting to figure out that we are doing this."
  
"Grinny is in love with Trender and Smiles wears a pink tutu on Sunday's. They will not say anything."
  
I smirk and laugh, I can feel Slender grin slightly.
 
"Oh, but I fucking might."
 
Our heads snap to the door way.
 
"Shit."
