The next morning I get woken up by an unknown voice. I open my eyes to a strange man in my room, my eyes not fully focused, I push him over and pin him to the ground. Still unsure of who this was, I take my knife from under my pillow and put it to the man's neck.

" Who are you?" I say with frustration of my eyes.

" It's Brown..." He grunts, my eyes finally focus on his face. I get off him, knowing who he was.

" You shouldn't barge into a woman's room in the city, no anywhere," I say, putting the knife back under my pillow.

" I'm sorry ma'am..." He says as soon at he gets up and bows. " This won't happen again." He adds on, looking up at me, blushes and turns around. I look at myself noticing that I'm barely dressed appropriately, I only had on a baggy ripped tank top and my short shorts from high school. I quickly grab my blankets covering myself up, as the alarm goes off.

" Sorry... Could you please leave, I'll be right out." I say, then he leaves. I quickly get dressed in my normal clothing. When I go to the living room I find six men sitting or standing by the couch.

" Good Morning." They all say.

" Um... Good morning, before the day goes on, lay me throw down some easy and quick to remember rules, okay? Okay first, no going in my room. Second, you don't need to be so polite and Butlery. Third, have fun, you could even sleep in if you want. Oh and four, no bugging me at work, and no digging trough my stuff, and no going trough my boyfriend's stuff. Got it?" I say under two breaths. They all looked at me stunned at the last part I had to say. I didn't mind, if I didn't rush out I would be late for work. I quickly toast a bagel as I get all of my paperwork for our meeting.

Before I was about to leave I look at all of them, I felt like I could trust all of them but Edgar the most. I walk over to him and ask him to give me a prep talk, he had no idea what I was talking about. Norman stepped forward and started to speak.

" Your boyfriend helps you to get ready?" He asks I nod looking at him. " Okay, well you are going to be just fine, you'll be great show them all you got." He says as he walks towards me, putting his arm around my waist. It really felt like Max was holding me, but he wasn't embarrassed I pull away from his gentle hold, thanking him for going out the door.

It felt weird having to wake up to other men in my house besides Max, I miss him so much. Around lunch, I decided to call Max, ask him how his night went.

" Hey babe it's me, how are you?" I start off with, I start to hear static than his voice.

" Hey baby, I'm Fantastic, you know how I'm at my parents, right well they decided to go back to France to tell the rest of the family about graduation. It's like a reunion," he starts to say, my chest started to feel tight, I couldn't really breath. He continues on how he going to see family. I couldn't do anything but listen.

" Wow, that's amazing! I hope you have tons of fun..." I say with excitement, that's all I could say before he had to go.

" Hey, Thank you for all of your work today. You can head home if you want to, I think with all of our ideas at the meeting we might close early today." The boss says from walking from his office.

" Boss, do you mind if I close tonight? I would like to keep it open for the people who get off of work." I ask putting my phone back in my pocket.

" Sure you can, do you need any assistance?" He asks and I deny him politely. There is no point of going home if there is nothing to go home to. I keep the café open a little often its usual closing time.

I stop at the store getting something I needed for a new recipe. Opening the door with my hands full, Someone immediately takes them out of my hand before my eyes could even look up. I stood there amazed as I look at all six men standing exactly the way I left, but one with bags.

" Hello, umm... Did you have a good day?" I ask trying to take the bags from Seth. " If you're not going to give them to me please put them on the floor in the kitchen. " I say to Seth, and he does so.

" I guess, the house was already clean so we waited for you," Brian says.

" I told you to relax and have fun? Come here." I say, he walks to me. " I undo his tie a bit. " What do you like to do? Do you like to read, write, play video games?" I ask looking into his eyes.

" I like to plant..." He says embarrassed. I nod and looks at the long plant hanging off of the bookshelf. I get the planting gloves and a small hand shovel.

" Then have fun, that plant up there, could you put it in three parts and play two outside, for me, please. I haven't cut it for a while now." I say as I lead him to the back. He knows with a smile. " here is a pair of sweats of you don't want to get your slacks dirty."

I find them all to do something, I feel like I was a teenager again trying to have children to do something, but it feels a bit different. When dinner comes around I make the new recipe I've been planning to make. We all enjoy the delicious meal, and once again we go to sleep.

In the middle of the night, I had a nightmare, about losing Max. I started to cry in my sleep when I heard a knock on the door.

" Who is it?" I whisper.

" It's Norman, are you okay I heard noises in here." He whispers back, I get up and let him in.

" Yeah I'm fine, just a bad dream. Why are you still up?" I ask as he sits on the end of my bed.

" My pill for sleep deprivation didn't work tonight." He replies. I remember I have pills for that.

" I have pills that might work, but you have to take it with tea for it to work immediately, is that okay?" I say getting up and getting the pill, we don't say much as I make the tea. " Do you mind laying with me? I know it's a lot to ask, it's just it's getting lonely, without Max. " I ask shyly.

" No, we can lay." As soon as his warmth covers my arm I smile. He reminds me so much of Max. I fall asleep thanking him.
