Monae's POV

The feast fit for royalty that Mrs Winchester asked to be prepared is ready and just looking at it makes me hungry. I didn't take I'm breakfast when I came down, I didn't trust myself to work if I had food in my stomach and so satisfied, I'll be feeling lazy asf and wouldn't want to work.

It was a good decision cause we've been able to prepare the food on time and from what I've heard, the Steeles are on their way and almost here. 

I was cleaning the plates, cutlery and glasses that will be used when I felt a presence behind me. Stiffening, I initially thought it was Rex at it again, he's a desperate stalker, till her perfume revealed who it was and her voice confirmed it when she called me softly as if she was scared. "Nae?"

"Mnh." I answered, wiping my cheeks that had lather on with the back of my hand.

"Are you mad at me?"

I turned to her, "hell no, why would I?"

"I rushed out of your room, leaving you alone without a word so I figured you were."

"Ha that's one crazy figuring Imo, I'm not mad or will I. I understood you were going through an uncomfortable phase after Rox told us about the visit that's why I let you be and didn't bother coming into your room, bombarding you with questions."

"Yeah you know right, its really uncomfortable but I shouldn't have left you like that."

"Don't worry, do you uhm maybe want to talk about it, you know let it all out now that you are here?"

Imo nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Yeah if you aren't busy, you're the only one I'm comfortable with telling my personal things to, you don't judge me or anything."

Her words really really made my heart swell with gladness knowing she's that comfortable around me and enough to share all her personal issues and thoughts with me.

It makes me feel how much of a good friend and sister even if not by blood, that I have been and I never thought Imo and I could ever end up like this, you know all friendly with no hatred whatsoever, it feels great. "I'm a little bit busy as you can see but, I'll finish soon."

"Let me help you." She offered,no more like said or commanded, she took a dish cloth getting down to business.

I stared at her in surprise, greatly cause I didn't see her as that person who does kitchen duties, her mother wouldn't allow her and she wouldn't be happy about it if she comes in here and sees her. 

"Nah I've got this." I declined politely taking the dishcloth back from her. I want no issues with Mrs Winchester especially when she hasn't been mean to me today. 

Stubborn as ever Imo shook her head, smiling and took it back from me."No let me do it, we can even talk in the process of doing it." 

"You sure you wanna do the talking in hear, you need no privacy?"

She scanned around before nodding in certainty, "totally, I wouldn't be that loud for a third ear to listen since its just us."

"Yeah right, so what do you want to talk about?"

Imo fell silent and started fiddling with the dishcloth she held. I was tempted to tell her to let it be, it seems she isn't ready to talk about it and I don't want to pressure her when she finally spoke up, "he's coming here."

"Who is coming here?" 

"Him."

"Him who?" Like I have zero idea of who's she talking about, we have no mutual friends and Rex can't be the him.
