Eden POV

Two weeks had passed and I haven't heard anything from my scholarship or any potential jobs. Ross had given my CV to many of his friends and nothing.
I had presented the dish to the judge this woman from the school and she seemed to have loved the dish. She said she will call me back to set up the interview at the school in Switzerland but that was for sure a win. She said. But I haven't heard anything. I went outside for a walk. Ross wasn't around he got up early for a meeting or something. I was alone.

I went to the kitchen to talk to Carol who was cooking. It smelled so good.

"Eden, why don't you ask Ross to pay you for cooking here?" Carol said.

"What?" I was surprised.

"Yes, you do most of the cooking all the time. You help me around quite a lot. Why don't you start charging money for it?"

"I couldn't. Ross already does so much. He lets me live here for free he gives me money for my clothes and personal stuff I need like shampoos and things I can't ask him to pay me I live here" I said and meant it. How could I?

"I know but he always goes with you to buy the things you need or sends his pet Earl to watch you and take you shopping. You don't have any freedom" Carol was right. But still, I couldn't ask him for money no way.

"Speaking of Earl he is always quiet anymore he doesn't talk," I said.

"I noticed the same thing. So I asked him he didn't answer. It seemed like he couldn't even open his mouth to talk"
Carol said.

"Oh, how weird," I said

"Yes, Earl has always been a weird lad. Ross brought him to the house when he was 10 Ross was 9. Earl was homeless he was living on the streets with an uncle. Ross and he became close friends. He became part of his gang and the rest is history. He's always been quiet."

"What a sad story" I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't imagine living on the streets at that age. He was still a child! What kind of parents would allow that? Good thing Ross took him in. He did have a heart after all.

As I spoke is like I brought him with my thoughts. He was there with red shorts on and no shirt. His muscular body was breathtaking. Only a couple of tattoos but not very many. He was a sight. His body was a sight. I felt a weird feeling inside me. Like I wanted to know what it was like to be in bed with him. But not temporarily. I wanted to be there forever.

"Like what you see babe, ?" He has always called me that. I never mind.

"Rock is going to take you shopping. We're having a big party tonight to welcome our new members into the knight lions" he said drinking a glass of water.

"What about Earl?" I asked.

"What of him?" He asked surprised.

"Well, he is the one who is always taking me places and being around. I mean I don't need anyone around I can go myself shopping" I tried to reason with him. I didn't need a babysitter.

"Earl hasn't been feeling good lately" was all he said about that.

"Buy something purple. I like that color on you. I'm off to do business, Rock will pick you up at around 2 be ready and I'll see you tonight"
He put his glass down and gave me a kiss on the cheeks and left. God, I wish my cheeks were my lips.

I got dressed in a yellow flower dress I had. And waited for Rock.

 And waited for Rock
