I wanted to say sorry about the Henley miss spell, I've been working on this on my tablet in my free time and I must have missed that one, I believe I have gone through and fixed them all now. I'd also like to thank every8ne who reviewed, favorite or followed me or the story, you guys rock. This one is short but it was a good place to stop before the fun begins, hope you enjoy.
Merritt lay on his back thinking, he had no doubt that well before their time was up at this house in the middle of no where that he would have more than enough entertainment to keep himself occupied. Daniel was good for that much at least, it was one of the joys of being around a control freak, they may be annoying to have to listen to but they were sure as hell fun to mess with and there was no doubt with Daniel that he would be coming up with some way to win Henley over. And as far as Henley was concerned she'd have just as much fun helping him mess with Daniel as she would with anything Daniel came up with.
He smiled, the morning was going to be interesting he was just going to have to plan to be the first one up then he could begin his day of fun and all of it with a hot breakfast.
The sun was shining early the next morning as Jack headed down stairs a deck of playing cards in one hand, his nose telling him that someone was cooking bacon. When he rounded the corner at the bottom of the stairs and found Merritt with what looked like an old flowery apron on he just couldn't stop himself from asking in a sugary sweet falsetto voice, "Why, mama, whatever are you cooking up?"
That won him a glare before an answer in a similar falsetto of, "Why bacon, eggs and pancakes of course."
"Right, cause that's what I meant," Jack muttered before continuing aloud with, "cause you're about as domesticated as a rodeo bull."
"I'm hurt that you would think that I wouldn't do something like this out of the kindness of my own heart," Merritt lamented with a huge smile on his face before adding, "Well isn't it only fair I make my declaration clear before I start having my fun."
"As long as it's not at my expense, I could care less," Jack said as he plopped down in one of the seats at the kitchen table and began tossing cards through the air.
Just as Merritt was finishing up the last of the pancakes and setting them on the table Henley entered the room, she eyed him as she took a seat next to Jack though she didn't say anything, Merritt just smiled back and handed her a plate.
When Daniel found himself in the kitchen not long after that the trio was joking around as they ate and he was left to take the only unoccupied seat between Jack and Merritt. "Breakfast uh, who took it upon themself to fix everyone breakfast? " he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Why I did," was Merritt's response with a large smile on his face that spoke volumes, it was the kind of smile one would expect to see on a character like Puck as he set about spreading his mischief. And as far as Daniel was concerned it didn't bode well for him.
