I need a maid.

Chapter 3

I didn't know if people would actually like this book lol! but i am glad some of you do(:

I helped Romeo prepare the food, Skylnn was in her room taking a nap and the boys were doing their homework. My bum hurt from the push Cameron gave me, Nash kept asking if I was okay. I was I felt a little hurt he had pushed me to the ground. I didn't want Skylnn to be afraid of Cameron; I needed to talk to her before I leave. I sighed knowing I had to leave around 9 to make it to the strip joint. Romeo poured the soup into each bowel. When he said it was ready I took it down to the dinning hall. I set down each plate.

"DINER IS READY" I yelled. Soon enough I heard footsteps running around the house. Robin and Bobby greeted me; I ruffled their hair as they each passed by me. Johnny looked at me he smiled talking a sit. Nash came in the room with Skylnn on his shoulders. She smiled and waved at me. I turned to see the boys in shock.

"what?" I asked

"She never responds or smiles at strangers," Robin says.

"So I'm a stranger" I tease, his cheeks turn pink and a giggle. I shake my head walking back the kitchen. I take out a jar of Kool-Aid and Soda. I see Cameron at the end of the table, his eyes red and I know he is drunk. His brothers eat fast but stay silent almost scared of him. I pour soda or Kool-Aid in each cup.

"Eat with us!" Bobby said. I smiled at him

"I am just a maid bobby," he frowned looking back at his plate

"No sit with us" Cameron slurred. Everyone in the room stared at him

"If it makes the room more bearable so be it," he says eating his food. I gulped sitting next to bobby. He smiled

"How was school?" I asked him

"It was alright." He shrugged

"I got hit by a soccer ball" robin pouts.

"I play soccer you know" I say, the boys stare at me

"No way!" they say

"My dad played when he was-" I stopped myself, I couldn't think about my father not now. It just makes me sad. I love my dad but the thought of him being sick right now it not okay

"Before he got sick, he showed me a few things," I finally said. I wasn't eating with them; I just sat at the table. The tension in the room left.

"What time are you leaving?" Johnny asked

"Around 8:40, I have another job," I say biting my cheek. Cameron's eyes met mine

"Another job?" he question.

"I am a waitress" I lied.

"Why do you have two jobs?" Cameron asked. I didn't really want to get personal with them. Not yet at least.

"I need the extra cash," I simply said. They kept eating and I kept whispering questions to Skylnn, she nodded and shook her head.

"I need help with my homework" Johnny said,

"Me too!" Robin and bobby said. I smiled

"Well we have 3 hour to get it done," I said. They grinned

"First shower, get conferrable and meet me in the living room" I said clapping my hands. They quickly scattered off. All but Cameron. He sat at the table dozing off with wine in his hand. I picked up the plates, once in a while he would stare at me but I would ignore it. After I had cleaned the kitchen and the dinning room I heard voiced in the living room, 2 hours left. I walked in seeing robin and bobby setting up their papers; Johnny had a binder in his hands

"Okay how can I help?" I asked.

"First me!" Johnny said I nodded sitting beside him.

Cameron.

I watched from afar. Robin and Bobby organizing their homework, Johnny sitting next to Bailey as she helped him with his math homework. My head was hurting, my eyes and even my heart. I remember how I use to gather up Nash and Johnny to do their work, Robin and Bobby were way to young so placed them in a play pin in the corner, I watched as they all laughed at what she would say. Her smile showing off her beautiful features, in the corner of her eyes it would wrinkle a little while she burst into laughter. She was so beautiful. I watched how she helped all the boys at the same time. My dad and mom would take my place if I were too busy with my own schoolwork. Even after they died I would help them but I slowly pushed them way. I know they fear me now and I know I shouldn't have come down stairs drunk. That's the main reason I agreed to Bailey sitting down. I needed someone to lighten up the mood and she did a good job. When she talked I stared into her pink full lips. When she mentions her father I wanted to know more about her. I was interested. I stepped back into the darkness of my office hearing the laughter.

"Okay boys! You have one more of play time!" I heard her say. It was almost 8:40 and I almost wanted her to stay here. I peeked through the doors, each boy marching up the steps. She laughed shaking her head. Nash approached her.

"Skylnn is still awake, I think she is waiting for you to say goodnight," Nash said. I watched her disappear up the steps. I slowly followed her up to Skylnn room. I slowly watched.

"Goodnight sweetie, ill see you first thing tomorrow" she said

"Before I go, lets me talk about your brother Cameron," she said. My eyebrows raised and I peeked in more, she sat on her bed holding Skylnn's hand.

"I know what you saw today was scary, Cameron can be scare huh?" she asked, Skylnn frowned nodding her head. I felt my heart break again.

"I don't want you to be scared," Baileys said. I was taken back by her words

"He can be scary but I know he loves you" she smiled at her, Skylnn smiled back.

"Do you love him?" Skylnn nodded her head. I grinned.

"See nothing to be scared of, sometimes big brother can be a little scary but remember they love you" she kissed Skylnn's forehead. I quickly walked away into my room. I heard the steps stop in front of my door. I heard a small knock

"Mr. Dallas" I heard Bailey voice

"Uh yes" I said

"I am leaving now" she awakwardly said.

"See you tomorrow Bailey"

I lay in bed all night without sleep. She was in my head all night. The way she was with my brother, the way she treated Skylnn. She even helped me out with her. I smiled at the memory of her telling Skylnn not to be afraid. Bailey never left my mind.
