Singing with the Queen (Book 2 of The Vampire Waltz Collection)

Chapter 8

"Basile, good you're here. " said Maria as she finished packing her clothes a things.

"Umm yeah you just summoned me. " looking at the commotion and noise Maria making in the room by tossing clothes in the bed, digging things out.  

"Pretty much, though I have a favor to ask. "

"Alright let's hear about it, but why are you packing away? Did I do something wrong? I'm sure I installed an ice-cream dispenser in your Room to make sure you'll never wanna leave the place. "

Maria took a quick look at him and smile.

"I'm buying Atticus house while his new one will be built and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't mind if I use your credit card. I'll be pretty much staying with him and yes I'm bringing the ice-cream maker! " She smirked and hugged him.

"But my goodnight kisses... " his lips drop and his eyes teary in a tease.

"You have a wife and forty-eight favorite lovers plus fifty more probably also millions of succubus, girls in the club who's at your feet surely they can fill in my spot besides you can visit ya know. "

"Is Lilith coming with you? "He asked and raised an eyebrow.

"No, she's pretty safe in here. We talked about this already we cannot have her involved with any of the stuff I do. If anything bad happens to me you know what to do."

"You do know I am bound to you and if you die then me too and Damian. " looking at her then grabbed her arm gently. Rolling up her left sleeve with an intact symbol of an pentagram like a tattoo to others eyes. A mark of possession and acceptance of both contract from each other yet he has no use of her soul or anything just a playmate to have and besides she's his sister-in-law, his older brother may have thrown her out but his wife adores Maria like a spoil baby. Damian mark of two fang bites was still in her neck showing in display. Maria did try many times to remove it but nothing of spells would work,  even scarring it but the scars on her will heal except his mark so concealer was the only option and a potion she drinks to change her scent.

"Okay, I'll live!  Just give me a ride to Atticus place, I'm moving quite a lot of things. " she chuckled as they both laugh at the all the things she'll be bringing.

"Are you sure you're buying a house or a storage room? Cause I'm sure we can't fit everything in the car as we take your stuff."

"Idiot! You have your ways of doing things,surely you can get the job done. "

"Alright, alright shorty. Now what favor would you ask daddy to do? " he grinned.

After awhile Basile dropped Maria on Atticus' house and went out to do her favor.

"That's a lot of things Maria..? " Atticus gave a half smile. Glancing at Basile leaving on his car.

"Oh it's not that bad!" Waving her hands and gave a shrug. Okay so she did almost bring a lot of things.

"Come on, I'll help you move in your things. "

Both got into work and some of the unused rooms were clean and placed with Maria's other things. She didn't change a lot in her old room, she didn't want it to change. Sometimes she'll hear his laughs or cries or even see him. The house wasn't haunted but her mind was. She cleaned the crib, wash the sheets and dusted the place in and out.

"You surely love dresses. " with piles of clothes and petticoats in Maria's room, it needs to be move in another room.

"Got used to it, it's flattering but I do miss wearing loose jeans, t-shirts and sweatpants especially slippers! I look boyish back then."
