The Girl Who Had Only One Dress. (herophine)

3. "Take it off"

"Everybody to the living room! Now!" Mr. Tiffin yelled after he saw me standing there.

All the maids rushed quickly to where we were. His wife ran there as well. I heard a male groan after a while and a boy and a girl around my age came down the stairs. "What do you need, dad? Don't tell me you want us to spend one of those 'family nights' together. Didn't last time teach you anything?" The boy said with a rough male-y voice that I didn't expect. He had dirty blond hair and piercing green eyes that almost made me swoon.

"Shush Titan! I didn't give you permission to talk!" Mr Tiffin yelled dismissing him.

Titan rolled his eyes. "Shush Titan I didn't give your permission to talk" he mocked his father which made me let out a silent laugh.  

"Ok so why are we here?" The girl asked wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. She had long blond hair and a mix of blue and green eyes. She was really beautiful.

"Titan, Mercy! Just let your father talk" Martha scolded them. "What is it sweety? Tell us" she said sweetily. Non of them seemed to notice that Mr Tiffin had an angry expression all along. 

"Why is Josephine wearing a uniform? I did not ask for her to be a maid!" He yelled.

"But h-honey, she has to work! That's what she is for. Low class works. High class -like us- pays" Martha said.

"She is not staying here as a maid, Martha!" Mr Tiffin yelled. "I brought her here to have a good life. She's still a child! I don't want her to work. She's going to stay here as a guest and she will go to school like our kids. Like Mercy, Titan and Hero," he explained. Then he looked around. "Where is Hero?" 

"He's probably sleeping. He came home drunk as fuck" Titan explained.

"No cuss words here. Angela go wake him up" 

"Yes, sir"

"I was meaning to ask" I interrupted them. "What does 'fuck' mean? My nana never tought me that word. And I heard it yesterday from sir Hero too. Is it a word only for aristocrats?" I asked innocently. 

They all looked at me with their mouth agape. 

"Don't say that word" Mr Tiffin told me. "Ever"

So it's a word only for high class then? I don't belong there.

"You met our brother?" Mercy asked laughing.

"And he cussed at you? Man, I should have been there!" Titan continued. 

"So, are we clear? You're going to treat Josephine like your sister. And take her out of that stupid uniform!" Mr Tiffin ordered and they all nodded.

Suddenly we heard a groan and the guy from my dreams and yesterday, Hero, walked down the stairs with messy hair and sweatpants low on his hips.

I couldn't help but notice the visible spot on his V line. I held back and urge to bite my lip.

"What do you want?" He said with one eye closed.

"Hero, son, meet your new sister. Josephine" Mr Tiffin said.

I pressed my lips together and waved at him shyly.

His eyes snapped open.

"Sister?" Then with a panicked look turned to his mom. "When did you have another kid? How long was I asleep?" He yelled.

"She's not our biological sister you dofus!" Mercy said and slapped the back of his head.

"Hey!" Hero screeched hitting her arm.
