Chapter 29: Evil lurks here

Azami

My body felt lighter than usual. My head lifted up lightly and I noticed I wasn't being bear-hugged last night. Lucius was drunk yesterday it was easy to detect the potent alcoholic beverage on his breath. He was acting very strange. It was liked he craved my attention for an odd reason. I didn't have time to ponder anything because I need to help May and the others with their task today.

May stood in the kitchen wiping down the stove after cooking all the men's breakfast. I've seen her around the house a lot obviously but we haven't had time to speak due to me being stuck in Lucius's room.

"May!" I hopped over to her giving her a huge hug "How have you been lately?!"

She giggled hugging me back "I've been good! Misha's been trying to have sex with me but other than that everything's going quite smoothly! What about you? It must suck being stuck here and not being able to see your friends," A pout came across her face

"Yeah, it sucks being here but I'm okay for the time being,"

May handed me a clean rag so I could begin helping her. It made me wonder though. They have so many people to cook and clean up after. Doesn't it become exhausting? When I asked she told me it disgusting after a while because of all the various things she sees.

Pauline walked in on us and instructed us to clean the rooms upstairs once we finished. Since most of the kitchen was done it didn't take long to fix it. It was yet again another day. I didn't exactly find the reason why I was still here but I would have to worry about that another day. Once the counter was cleaned when discarded the dirty water.

"I got this," Pauline took the item out of my hand taking them upstairs.

I could've taken them upstairs myself but she must've seen how I was still hopping around. "Which room shall I clean?"

"Since you sleep in one of Lucius's rooms you can clean up the one you sleep in," Pauline instructed

The room wasn't really dirty since I already straighten up the place before I leave it. But I could see what I could do for it.

"Oh wait! Here are some headphones for when you clean. Music always helps me get stuff done faster," May plopped them down on my head.

"Am I even allowed to wear such things?"

"They're headphones... if you can't wear that then these men have issues,"

Yeah, but I'm not exactly a worker. I'm more of a held prisoner more than anything. A yawn escaped my throat as my feet dragged me to the room. It was fucking extremely hot in here! Was there a fire or what? The room itself didn't require any cleaning so I went to the bathroom.

It was even hotter in here! I wiped the beads of sweat off my forehead as the music played. Right away I went on my knees and scrubbed the bottom of the walls. Soon the music invaded my mind tuning everything around me out. My hips swayed as best as they could in the position I was in - cleaning was thrown out the window.

Water droplets fell on top of my head but I brushed it off until I felt more of them crashing onto me. I took the headphones off sitting them to the side all the while facing my vision above me until I noticed Lucius hovering over me dripping wet.

"What are you doing?" He said clearing amused at my embarrassment.

Fuck, I let my guard down. And not to mention how I didn't notice that he was in the shower sooner. I'm the most illiterate woman in my prime right about now. I grabbed the bucket throwing the sponge in it. I attempted to leave but he blocked the door.
