After four days of resting and being ' pampered ' but the great king Lazarus Russo, it was time for me to return back to my daily routine which was to serve the mighty vampire with whatever he writes down for me know the paper that is currently floating in front of me. Not going to lie, mate or no mate, of that vampire makes me bend I'm going to snap his head, my back hurts when I bend, I may be able to walk now and I might also have shredded the bandages from my hands, but that does not signify that I'm comply fine and can do work with the same efficiency.  I picked up the piece of paper and scanned over my chores.

Human,  your instructions are as follows
1) eat breakfast. Healthy breakfast more like baked beans and bread.

2) make me a bloody latte with some blood lava muffins. Take you medicines afterwards.

3) do the dishes, use the dish washer... I got one installed.

4) do the laundry using the machine... It's new be careful else I'll snap your neck. Do not dismantle my machine!

5) have lunch... Make yourself a subway along with tea/coffee/juice /blood...whatever you want.

6) make me lunch ( chilled blood bottles... Preferably 4)

7) tidy up our bedroom

8) rearrange my closet. It's messy so just tidy it up. It takes me 2 hours to find a bloody white shirt.

8) make dinner for yourself as well as me. For yourself. You may make some tomato soup and bread, for me make me some blood sundaes... Recipie is in the recipie book on the counter.

9) take your medicines.

Note: if you feel unwell at any point sit down and put that phone to use and call me

Note: I'm on a walk will be back for breakfast by 9 am

Note 3: please stay safe... I can't have you dying on me... In may hate you but you're my mate.

Note 4: no need to bend to much... All the stuff you need has been shifted to cupboards you can reach without straining your back much.

       Yours truly
King Lazarus Russo

Reading the list, I smiled slightly... This does mean he kind of is warming up to me... Right? I mean he has been considerate of my back and he even is making sure I'm fed.. Even when I was hurt he looked after me.... Handling me like a baby. Lazarus Russo is a strange man but he is adorable. I guess it's up to me to make him open up with me.

As instructed I quickly changed into a set of comfy PJs, don't judge me but wearing anything other than that actually hurt. I had washed my hair today, in an attempt to remove the blood in my hair and then went downstairs. I cooked myself some healthy breakfast which was egg on toast with some orange juice. I ate that and then took out the recipie book to make the blood lava muffins and bloody latte.

Sharp at 10 am Lazarus walked in, he was looking ravishing in the leather clothes, with his black hair open and green eyes staring back at me. I wish he would just accept me and love me.

"Good morning master" I said. I really wanted to call him Lazarus or zar but I knew, calling him that would just anger him.

In response he just nodded and ate his breakfast.

"Did you eat your breakfast? " He asked as he took a sip of his bloody latte, his Adam's apple moving.

"Yes master, I did. I had eggs on toast with some orange juice" I replied as I put the dirty plates in the dish washer.

"Have you medicine before doing any work. I don't want to return back and find you passing out in my arms again, human" He said coldly and I nodded.

He kept his plate in the dish washer, himself, then stared at me for a second longer than intended before abruptly walking out.

I signed and them went upstairs to collect the dirty laundry before popping it all in the washing machine.

I prepared his lunch and then went upstairs to tidy the room. I know I had to. Eat as well, but I'm not hungry. I hear the window open and I knew Lazarus was back home.

"Human, get your ass down stairs" He said angrily.

Ugh! What did I do to piss him off today?

On walked down the stairs, my ankle paining a little, with every step I took.

"Yes master, your called? " I asked as I stood in front of him

"I told you to eat lunch.... Did I or did I not? " He asked angrily. His icy green eyes staring at me.

"Yes, you did" I said softly, averting my eyes from his

"Did you have lunch? Don't lie to me human, because I know everything" He said

"No master" I said

"Why? " He asked crossing his hands across his chest.

"I was not feeling hungry" I said

He sighed before he got up and went in the kitchen, I heard the plates banging before he walked out with a veggie sub and some juice.

"Sit" He said sternly

I obliged and sat down opposite to him at the table. He kept the plate and juice in front of me and spoke

"Estr, all of it. Do not her up till you finish. I will be here watching you finish your food" He said as he sat down at his designated seat and drank his meal.

Sighing I took a small bite out of the subway and chewed. I have to admit, this vampire knows nothing about subway making, it's so hard to chew. I washed each bite down with some juice and finally when I was done, a swoosh of air passed me and the plate and glass were gone.

I saw Lazarus switching on the dish washer before turning to me.

"Go and prepare me a nice warm bath... Add some lavender oils in it" He said and I nodded.

I slowly walked upstairs and did as he said. I have to admit that while preparing his bath I kind of wished he would allow me to have such privilege knowing what I knew about my parents and the vampire history, I knew he would never allow such privilege to the daughter of a vampire slayer.

I turned around only to find him staring at me.

"Your bath is ready" I said and he nodded. I saw he was holding something which did not look as something a man would wear. Did he have some fetish kf wearing women clothes?

He set those clothes on the counter and then I saw him set some women scented hair washes and conditioner down, before finally settling a pink fluffy towel.

"Now strip and enjoy the warm bath... It will help with the pain in your ankle and back... Beside a bath is much better than a shower" He said

"But this is your bathroom" I said, not knowing why he was behaving as such.

"I know... I'm on my trying to get the pain out of your body so that within a day or two I can get you back to your original schedule" He said and I nodded.

With saying that he stormed out the bathroom allowing me go enjoy a warm bath. I think it had been and hour since I was in the bath, my skin had turned pruny and so I knew it was time to get out and dry myself and tidy the monsterous closet of my dear mate.

I changed quickly and began sorting through his clothes. Man this closet was worse than a pig barn. I quickly re arranged his closet according to their shades and ghen went down stairs to make dinner.

My soup was boiling, break baking and the blood Sunday ice cream was setting.

Finally three hours later everything was done. I served Lazarus his food and then began debating whether I should take my soup now and eat with him or let him finish first and then eat my dinner.

"Grab your dinner and eat. I need to make sure you eat and take you medicines" He said and I nodded.

I poured myself some soup and sat in front of him and ate.

Once dinner was over I walked upstairs, and began to take out my pillow and blanket and was just finished making my makeshift bed, when Lazarus walked in and frowned.

"On the bed now" He said. I looked up at him with confusion clearly written in my face.

"Sorry? " I asked

"You will be sleeping on the bed next to me" He said

"But-"

"You shall obey your master if you do not wish to be punished"

"Okay" I said and laid down next to him.

I was not asleep till 2 am, but Lazarus for the first time was fast asleep next to me. Vampires don't sleep unless they are extremely tired and safe. Does him falling asleep mean that he was comfortable to me and felt safe enough go sleep near me? Does this mean he finally is beginning to accept me? I do hope it's true, for I have already accepted him.

Somewhere during his sleep he cuddled me. His face buried in my neck and his cool breath tickled my skin. I do hope tomorrow is not awkward, I do not think I can actually handle a moody vampire.
