"Did you see him?" Mom asked with a cheerful sound.
Him?
"Him?" I asked confused.
"Yes, your bride." She said
"Am lost." I stated truthfully.
'I know they call me cold crazy bitch but the rule is to make the family safe and I am willing to do anything. I went to collect my debt to this man called Sebastian and he was surrounded by the Lock gang who he is indebted to them. He was about to sell his son to them and I took him instead... God knows what they would turn him into those shitty people. That man had nothing to offer and I didn't take him for my money but by pity and then the idea come... you know how about..."

"Use him, Mom you can't be serious. It won't make us any different from them." I finish off.
"I know it sound crazy and cruel but please use him to cool off the air, I already register the marriage so use him as a wife or husband whatever just please" She pleads tried not to sob.

"You already register our marriage?" I asked trying hard not to yell at her.
"You'll divorce him after one month or two; he has just to pose as your partner for a while please Damian." She cried.
"This is crazy, this is really crazy." I stated pacing back and forth at the living room.
"I can handle being a villain here, use him or I'll publish myself that you already have a wife or a husband..."
"Don't do that." I warned.
"He already agreed to help us Damian." She chipped in.
"I'll take this matter into my hand Mother; don't do anything from here please." I told her pinching the bridge of my nose gripping the phone.
"Okay, please don't hate me Damian." She sound worried.
"I love you Mother, we'll talk this matter in details."
'I love you too Son, I'll come by this week." She said and hung up.

I turn around and find the little human... a boy my Mom just broke the news to me stood up trembling his face gazed down, fidgeting the end of the tee which reach above his knees with his hands.
I got near him; he notices me as he stole a glance and quickly looks down. I got a glimpse of his eyes.
"What's your name, and look at me when am talking to you." I quietly order.
He raises his head slowly staring back at me with his shining beautiful striking deep oceanic eyes. I stared those oceanic orbs for a while, trailing off to his button nose, bow shaped lips, his olive skin, freckles covers across his nose and dust his cheeks beautifully and lastly to his height. He barely reaches my chest and he's quite beautiful.

"My name is Briar. Briar Sebastian, Mr. Damian." He said his voice like honey. Fear clearly visible in his eyes.
"Am at your service." He added lowering his gaze down. I stared down at him for a while debating what to do with him.
"Come here." I told him parting my legs after sitting on the coach and he flinched badly.
He hesitated and took few steps then stops still fidgeting the tee.
I sighed "Briar, I'll not hurt you, okay.?" I tried hard to use my so called soft voice which am not sure if it's even soft or friendly.
He looks at me with those oceanic eyes asking for a promise "Closer." I told him slowly drawing out every word.
He slowly took steps and come to stand between my legs gazing down.
"Have you eaten.?" I asked him
"No." It came out as a whisper still looking down.
I don't know why but I want to see his face, his eyes.
"What did I say about talking with me?" I asked him
He looked up locking his oceanic orbs with my oceanic ones quickly "I am sorry Mr. Damian"
"Why?"
"Huh?" He parted his deep pink lips staring back at me avoiding my eyes.
"Why didn't you eat?" I asked
"I was waiting for you." He replied locking his eyes with mine.
Something inside of me stirred. It's strange that the idea of him waiting for me awake something in me.
"What If I wouldn't come back?" I brush off the feeling and retort back.
"I... um... I..." He avoided my gaze.
"When Sarah prepare food for you, you are supposed to eat and not waiting for me." I snap at him.
"But I was taught..."
"I don't care what you have been taught and you are not there, you are here now. Follow my rules and no one else." I stated firmly and he flinched.
"Is that clear?" I asked and he was quiet nibbling his lower lip.
"Briar, is that clear.?" I asked grabbing his chin demanding him to look at me.
"Y-Y-Yes Mr. D-D-Damian." He said with a stutter and I released his chin.
"Shit." I mumble pinching the bridge of my nose.
What the poor boy has done to you for you to snap badly at him? Don't take your anger on him.
"T-shirt.?" I asked pointing tee he has on.

"I-I-I I am so sorry Mr. Damian, please don't punish me. I slipped at the bathroom and my clothes get wet. I took this one from the laundry please don't punish me." He begged down on his knees starts to cry.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMi3tVV0H2
"Hey shush, Briar shush now, I will not punish you shush." I tried to calm him down running my hand over his silky brown rich black hair.
"You-you won't." He asked adorably sniffing his face red and tears flowing freely over his cheeks.
Adorably? Shit, what the hell am thinking.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyylea8Gfdj
"Yes, if only you'll stop crying." I tried to coax.
'Okay Mr. Damian." He said wiping off his tears by the back of his hand sniffing still on his knees between mu legs.
"Up on your legs now."
He stumbles on his feet standing up between my legs looking at me hopeful.
'Why you are not eating?" I asked him after we get to the dining.
"You didn't..."
"I don't have plans for starving you, so you need to eat." I told him quietly continuing to chew the steak slowly observing him.
"Yes, Mr. Damian." He said picking up the fork and knife cutting the steak gracefully, put on his mouth and chewing like an obedient princess.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eqo1vt6Pk
Like a trained slave he continue to eat gracefully and he didn't notice that am observing him as his head gaze down at the plate. He seems to be strictly trained to be this way, everything he does according to the lessons he has been taught for what am observing. It irritates me.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkxxq1pksI
He notices me staring at him and he gulped his food stole glances at me "Do I eat messy Mr. Damian.?" He asked in fear
"No, eat." I shortly replied.
After finish eating I guide him upstairs.l
"You'll sleep in that following room."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJMUx1I4j
"Can I sleep with you please.?" I heard him asked before I grab the door handle to my room.
What on the galaxy now this is.?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCN47C8g2N
'Please Mr. Damian it's my duty..."
"Get in." I cut him off grabbing the door knob opening the door for him, didn't want to argue with him about his duty and whatsoever. Am exhausted.
I know am tired to argue but agreeing to his request without him trying much it surprise me. How can I trust a person who I barely know? A day is not even over and just boom am sharing a room with.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFl5YLeqLF
"Don't scoot to the side too much, you will fall." I stated observing him scoot farther away from me.
He is the one offering to share a bed with me, now he is afraid? What was the point?
"Briar, I'll not do anything to you."
"Am a messy sleeper, that's why I offered to sleep on the floor." He mumbled facing me.
"No floor, I said. Same room, same bed or different room. That is final." I cut him off and he flinched his face show fear as faint light from the lamp show his face.

"Now, come here." I ordered
"But..."
"Are you sleep walker.?" I asked.
"No."
"Sleep killer."
He giggled and instantly put his hand over his mouth and whispers "No."
I smile and recover quickly "Now, over here." He sighed pouting but still scoot near me.
"Seriously Briar, closer."
He scooted again a little.
"Briar." I warned firmly and he scooted dangerously closer to me, his pupil dilated and his lips parted fanning lightly my face and I lost words staring at his oceanic orbs.
"T-too c-close.?" He asked whispering gulping at the end.
I never sleep too close with a person in my adult life. But this proximity with this little stranger boy I found it comfortable. I have deep blue eyes but I found his oceanic blues are quite enchanting.

"No, try to sleep." I protested and he nodded closing his eyes.
I stared at his face for a while, exhaustion slip off. I was supposed to doze off as early as I lie down but now am creepily ogling at the innocent poor boy who I barely know. Along the way I fell asleep but something roaming over my chest sensually softly which stir me from my sleep. Do I have a cat which am not aware of? Is it a roach? It travel slowly spreading warm across my chest, which left goose bumps and I pry my eyes open.
