"ay- Lay- Lay-

Lay!" I abruptly snap out of my constant daydream when Mark yelled my name right through my ears.

"Ouch! That hurts." I cringe while my right hand rub my ears. Master gave me a day off and I will be back on the job till my arm is okay. Well my left shoulder was injured so it needs to have a cast for support.

"I was asking you, how did you manage to escape those maggots? Did you really killed them?" He tilted his head to my side and gave me a 'come on spit it out' look.

"Haah... they were about to rape me so I took advantage of it and escape. Of course they wouldn't let me do that easily so we had a little battle and I end up killing them." I said while heaving a loud sigh. "I need to go to church." I added.

"Its okay Lay." Mark patted my back with sincerity while smiling at me. "You'll just have to repent for your sins all day by doing good deeds and pray for everything." He added while smiling.

"There's nothing that I can do. This is my job as a butler, so I have to go and force myself." I said while looking at my shoes on the ground. Now, I was back on staring blankly again, finding something out of nothing.

"Lay! Snap out of it!!" I broke out of my thoughts again when Mark suddenly yelled right through my ears. Again.

"Mark, your totally getting on my nerves." I said while rubbing my ears. Again.

"Well! In a couple of minutes you go into like this." He looked forward and stared at the nowhere. He started opening his jaw slightly and tilted his head a little bit.

"Hey! You look horribly stupid if you have seen your face!" He snap out of his little act and turned to look at me and glare.

"Well F.Y.I.!! That was your face a moment ago!! You look horribly stupid. Just like what you said!!" He exclaimed while wiggling his fingers around, sometimes pointing at me.

"Really? Do I really look like that?" I asked while laughing to myself.

"Oh! You just realize it recently? Wow...!!" He exclaimed while clapping his hand in the air.

"You know Lay? You're injured. And plus, you look like a hooligan on a menopause if you keep doing that 'horribly stupid' act. Someday, Master will thought your losing your mind and put you on a mental hospital. Got that? So snap out of it!!!" He added. Speaking of Master.

"Where's Master?" I finally asked while Mark keep on rambling about how Mag scolded him of not picking her from work yesterday.

"Huh?" He broke his constant rambling and turned to me. "He went back to the countryside to finish his work there." I just nodded at him and went on looking on my shoes thinking about various things. Again.

I felt my cheeks heat up when I remembered Master's words. His voice, the way he said those words, the way he look into my eyes like he was uniting his soul with mine. It felt like, it was the truth, and he was dead serious about his feelings.

My God! This will be a little bit awkward from now on, now that master has confessed to me. But, is it really the truth? That he likes me? What will I call him from now on? How do I react on things that involves his figure. What will I do if were alone together? What will I say to him? Do I have to reply and say..."

"Gaahhhh...!!!" I yelled till my hearts content. Mark was shocked when I suddenly screamed and jump out of the bench were sitting on.

"Seriously Lay... whats been up to with you?" He said while still sitting on the grassy ground in front of me.

"What if you get confessed to a guy? What would be your reaction?" I blurted out. Mark just gave me a wide eye and suddenly broke into a filth of laughter. He look at me like he knows something I don't.

I widened my eyes and felt like everything stop. I can't hear anything, except the constant race of my heartbeat, like any minute now, it would pop out of my ribcaged. I couldn't speak nor react and deny everything because I know deep inside me it happened. Its not some dream or accident to deny at. I just look at Mark who had a smirk tug along his lips.

"M-mark... I don't know how to react." I honestly told him. He went on running his hands through his golden blonde curls and sigh heavily.

"Well, its not my mistake to eavesdrop at every fucking time Magnolia walks inside the mansion and her brother talking her how he fantasizes about his butler." He also blurted out making me blush.

"And I heard, you already have sex with him." I felt all my blood inside my veins transferred to my face. "Oh, don't be shy Lay. Were on the same boat. Crazy siblings hitting on butlers." He blurted out like it was just a normal topic.

"What do you mean were in the same boat?" I asked. I felt stupid that I kept myself being so naive all around. Now I was left with all the issues around me died eons ago. Like it was already expired.

"Magnolia has been hitting on me too. We already had sex and I can't even count how many times we did it." He said nonchalantly like it was nothing to him. "How about you? Well obviously, you would be the bottom, so how was master on bed? Is he a monster?"

I momentarily dropped my jaw at every word Marks mouth blurted out. I never thought Mark would just talk about ehem, sex with me so openly. What if someone would walk in on us and found out were talking about sex, it'll be really awkward right? Right guys?

Answer me for fucks sake!!??

"Umm... Mark, things like that aren't good to talk about so openly like this." I told him while giving him a disgusted look. He just heaved a sigh and went on to grab some blonde locks off of his forehead.

"Crazy siblings hitting on us." He said and stood up. "I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything." He added before he disappeared behind the double doors.

I was left on sitting on this wooden bench looking up at the blue sky above. It felt nostalgic and warm. And sooner, my eyes slowly closed while feeling the breeze around me making my mind want to travel to the past...

"Mom! I found an injured pigeon!! Come here!" I yelled to my mom while kneeling on the ground. Mom came rushing in and also kneeled down, trying to look at the bird.

"Okay, Its just a broken wing. Well just have to patch that up and it'll be okay..." He smiled at me as I watch mom begun fixing the birds wing. When it was done, mom gave me the bird very carefully.

"What will I do with him?" I asked.
"Let him return home and fly." I did what he said and release the bird from my hand. Seeing the bird flew into the vast sky made me happy and giddy. Sooner, other birds approach him and they flew together like a family.

A family.

I tugged at my moms coattail and made my gray eyes look up to him with solemnity.

"Mom, where's dad?"

"Lay." I woke up from my sleep when a strong voice called up to me. When I looked up a fiery pair of hazel irises met my gray pair making me gasps mentally. Oh my, I just fell asleep outside half of the day.

"Master!?" I scrambled a little feeling shocked that suddenly he was here with me.

"Don't move, you'll fall." He said and that's when I realize he was carrying me. I felt my cheeks heat up a little bit.

"But master, you just came back from a long ride. You should rest, I can take care of myself." I said but he just glared at me so I just kept quite until we reach his room. He put me down on the bed, my back resting on the headboard.

"Master, this is too much." I said and he just ignore me while he went on loosing his tie on his neck and throw it on the table. He walk to me and sat beside me, looking to my eyes intently.

"Master I-" he cut me off.

"Just shut up Lay, and let me do the things that I want to do to prove to you that I am really in love with you." He neared me and in a blink of an eye, his lips were on mine. I immediately moaned from feeling his lips against mine, it was the best that I've ever felt.

When the kiss suddenly got heated up, master begun lacing his arms around my waist and begun pushing me hard into him to deepen the kiss. He begun showering tingling kisses on my neck, down to my jaw and down on my smooth chest.

"Mmmm...." I hummed from the pleasure I was feeling when he begun nipping at my flushed nipples. He begun removing my polo when suddenly, the problem popped out. My left arm were cast from the injury I got. We just look at each other and then broke out into a laughter.

"Maybe well just have to go for kissing." Master said and I just nodded at him as a reply. He layed us both on the soft bed of his, facing each other while smiling.

"Goodnight Lay."

"Goodnight Master."

"Try saying my name." He said and I quickly snap my eyes towards him giving him a confused look. He just gave me a smirk and quirk his eyebrows upward. Okay, this will be a little bit awkward.

"G-good night A-Alexander." I finally blurted out. He pulled me closer to him but not too tight for the safety of my arm.

He postioned his lips right next to my ears and whispered the words that always makes my stomach flutter with butterflies before I get to drift off to sleep.

"I love you."
