After the whole tea party with the Jamie, Cinders godfather, or godmother on some days. I went home feeling scared and exhausted but I put some truth into the words said to me before I left.

Flashback

"Now dear, if he does somehow get passed my magic and all, I will know, I treat all Cinder's friends like they're my own." Said the male Jamie, as he pocketed his wand into his sleeve.

Cinder smiled. "You'll be fine. If this magic user or what not comes, I'll contact the others. I'm sure they'll be her in a heart beat! Oh and please do invite me to your wedding!"

I blushed at that, what wedding? Me and John aren't getting married just yet! "Thank you." I told them with a smile.

"Now you go home and sleep, John's waiting by the door." Jamie said as she pushed me up and towards John. "Remember, your safe with all of us around."

Flashback end

I felt alot safer with that news. And still embarrassed at what Cinder said.

I was baking again, just enjoying the smells and getting my hands dirty, when John walked in holding a pillow, with his face in a frown.

"Did you have a bad dream?" He asked as he walked in to the table.

I shook my head and smiled. "I couldn't sleep anymore. I've been asleep for more then what should be normal, I have a bit to much energy."

"You were asleep for a day, it's okay to have slept that long with how much you were sleeping before. I enjoyed cuddling you." He said with a big smile.

I giggled to myself. "Whatever." I finished my pastries, and put them in the oven for breakfast.

"How are you though?" John asked as he set the pillow down in his seat as he stood and walked to me.

"Seriously John, I'm perfectly fine. Just lots of energy." I told him smiling as he wrapped his hands around my aproned waist.

John hmmed. "I can take advantage of that energy if you want?" He said as we started to sway softly.

My eyebrows met and I looked at him. "Like how?" I asked.

He smirked and lifted me up and onto the counter where we started to make out, until I had to get the pastries out and turn off the oven, but John went back to attacking me and I was fully into it.

*****

I woke up, dressed and cleaned from what John put me through and I giggled at him as he snuggled into my stomach, under our now clean sheets.

I started to pet his wonderful silky black hair with a small smile on my face. Enjoying the calm.

I frowned as a thought came to mind, if I should tell him about the....no I can't.

I sighed and countinued to enjoy my peace, enjoying that we were stuck in the afternoon glow, without interruption. Sure I was sore, but that comes with having John here. I giggled again as I thought of John as a very muscular guy, like the ones that go overboard with weight lifting. I've seen one of the hunters do it.

John sighed softly as he started to wake with my hands running through his hair. "I love you Red." He said softly, his voice gruff from waking.

"I love you too John."

*****

"Your what?" I asked my brother as he folded his arms with glare on his features that wasn't aimed at any of us.

"I'm going to kill our parents. Do you know what they're doing to the village!?! They closed the shop! They closed it Red! Then they started tainting the people, and racking havoc with their new adopted sons, and daughter. It's their greed that making our home a reck." Malcolm said as he folded his arms, as Tony, one of John's guys rubbed his back, they were together now. Mated fast thought normal standards but it was normal for werewolves.

"We could take back the money you gave them?" I looked to John as I said this, he was in deep thought about it.

"I could, but..." John looked thoughtful.

"Let me see the contract again." I said sighing, I hated the thing, I had made millions of copies, and burned them, I still get made at John sometimes for it, but mostly at my parents who signed whole heartedly into it.

"Here." Malcolm said handing me the 2 page contract.

I skimmed over it, finding my loop hole. "You never signed it did you?" I asked my brother who glared at me.

"No, why would I? As much as annoying you can get to me, I still love you and would rather have you choose for yourself." He said crossing his arms tighter to himself.

I smiled. "Thanks, in you doing so, you helped more then my love for you and family." I said cheekily and he rolled his eyes. "Anyway, with you not signing, then we can sue them for the money back, and take anything to repay what they've already spent on."

"How?" John asked sitting next to me.

I rolled my eyes. Then pointed to a part in the deal. And he read it aloud. "'All parts of the Family of Red has to sign and agree to the release of custody to John Wilk. If failure to have all signatures, deal will be off, and maker of the contract is allowed to take his money back and have Red.' Huh, I forgot about that." John said making me roll my eyes at him.

"You made the contract dummy." I said as he frowned at my name calling.

"So, that means Red won't be given back to our parents, and since I'm old enough, I can stay here. And we can get everything from them. Maybe even the bakery?" Marvin said with a happy smile. He may not be the greatest at cooking but he's better then our parents who burn most things on some days. I usually made the food. Maybe that's why they put the bakery out of business.

"Great, I'll get my lawyer and get it all done and out of the way." John said as he ran off to do what he needed to do.

Malcolm and Tony left, to do something about laundry.

I thought the maids did the laundry?

I shook it off and went to John's office, just as he hung up, a huge smile on his handsome face.

"Alright, everything getting started. Are you alright by the way? I was a bit rougher last night." He said as he pulled me into his lap. Successfully making me straddle him.

"Mm, I'm fine. I just want to snuggle now. I really like to snuggle." I said with a smile as I put my head in the crook of his neck.

I knew he was smiling when he hugged me tighter. "Me too, but I gotta work, so you'll have to do most the snuggling." He told me as he scooted his rolly chair back to his desk and started to work, him absently stroking my back in calm lengths while I snuggled him, just pure snuggling is all I did.

During the hours of us sitting there, me listening to his heart beat and the rhythm of his writing, it was basically quiet and comfort.

I loved this. I found this the most relaxing, and it never became to boring. I loved all it, and I'm sure I always will.

My mind wandered back to a question I had for John.

"John, do the maids not do Malcolm's and Tony's laundry?" I asked out of the blue and his writing stopped.

"What? Why?" John asked as I leaned away to look him in the face.

"Cause when you left for the few moments you did, before heading to your office of course. They said they had to go do laundry." I told him as went to playing with the hem of his shirt.

"Well, the maids should be doing they're- never mind, don't think about it to much." John said with a chuckle.

I pouted. "You know don't you?" I said glaring at him.

He kissed me sweetly, his hands riding up the shirt I was wearing, his shirt. "I think I'd rather show you again. I find actions more fruitful then words with you." He said, picking me up.

"I'm still confused." I told him crossing my arms.

"You will, I'm sure." He said as we walked into our room, he closed and locked the doors behind us, kissing me the whole way to our bed where he set me down.

"Now let's get rid of your clothes, or soon to be laundry." He said and went to it.

Oh, I think I get it now.
