A Fuc*** Dammed Mistake

Let´s Have Kiki, belongs to Scissor Sisters, not me, at all, I swear.
Chapter 4: Let`s Have a KiKi
Saturday, Oh God blesses Saturdays. The room was still dark, the curtains were still closed and the bed felt wonderful under me: soft, warm, fantastic comfortable. I love Saturdays, it´s like if the world around you stop turning and you have the whole time to waste without thinking in a tomorrow and of course there is also the chance to go on sleeping until unimaginable hours without guilt or remorse, I'm not a teenager anymore, but I do love to sleep more than usual sometimes, so as you can see Saturdays are sacred; although it seemed that somebody had other plans down stairs, the hell was unleashing in my kitchen and the only responsible was the very same Sebastian. In the few days we spent together I learned that every one of his actions were deliberated and on purpose, this ones were not the exception. You see, if the demon doesn't want to be heard, seen or noticed, be sure that he knows how to get away with the crime, so this morning, something had to be going around his mind, or he was just bored and out of his schedule. Did I tell you that he is all the time carrying that old pocket watch with him? He is so annoying, cute, but annoying. Oh come on Sheena, now you are smiling.
The noise was enough so I jumped of the bed and decided to start the day, a bit sooner than what I originally thought but there was no choice. I found him in the kitchen preparing breakfast and as usual everything smelled wonderful, I was happy to find that the coffee was already on the table, fresh and strong, I reluctantly made him understand that I wasn´t a tea person and he whispered that the next time he was going to look for a less stubborn master, and even if that little comment peaked my interest I left the matter hung in the air.
"You should have waited until I wake you up, miss. The breakfast is not ready yet" he stated solemnly from behind the counter, while I was already sitting there with an eye on the newspaper.
"It wasn´t necessary Sebastian, with all that noise you could have woken up the dead" I said without looking at him, something in the travelling section in the paper caught my attention and I started thinking in my mother "Do you have news from mom, Sebastian? Did she call or something?"
"My lady, even if I´m a demon, resurrection is not my business" he answered casually setting all the food on the table. "And about your mother, she called this morning to say she was ok". I looked at him for the first time, how was it possible that he didn´t tell me anything about mom. I was worried, and somehow I was suspecting that he had something to do with this suddenly holidays of her.
"And why haven't you told me that she called?" I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him questionably
"Well miss, you were still asleep, and your mother asked not to bother you. She said she is ok, and doesn't know when is coming back. Apparently, India has too much to offer".
"India?" I asked incredulous, "My mom is in India?"
"I believe so, yes" he said nodding.
"And you have nothing to do with this, right?" I asked again eyeing him suspiciously and he just smiled showing me the food on the counter. I sighed and once more I left another subject go. "You don't have to prepare so much food, you know? It´s such a waste"
"Understood" he simply said and stood there in front of me just waiting.
"What?" I spoke again looking over the cup of coffee.
"If it´s ok with you, I would like to know if a fulfilled your order correctly"
"What ord…" and for the first time in the morning I really looked at him. There he was in his new outfit. It wasn't the skinny jeans, or regular trousers I could thought, neither were a black t-shirt or a polo matching the jeans. No, he was once more clad in black, but with the most fine and elegant suit I´ve ever seen. It was modern, yet classic. The shiny shoes, the strait black trousers, the white shirt, the slim black tie, and the jacket. Sebastian was the incarnation of perfection. His slender waist, his well-shaped back… he was a model demon and my mouth dropped once more.
"What have I told you about flies My Lady? Sebastian asked so satisfied with himself that he was about to explode of pride. I closed my mouth and coughed to clear my thoughts "Now, did I accomplish the task?" he asked turning in front of me so I can appreciate the whole picture.
"You left the gloves" was all I managed to say, I was impressed. The fact that I was still suffering of a broken heart didn´t mean that I was blind to that serpent charms.
"It was necessary" yeah, fool me, the gloves were absolutely necessary. "I think this is the formal ways on these days, right?" he finally said.
"Yeah, it´s fine Sebastian" I conclude, "Though you look like a bodyguard, I don't know what people may think in the streets" he pouted a bit and I was kind of satisfied. I wasn´t going to admit that I liked what I was seeing "I guess you can always remove that tie" I finished living the kitchen while I heard him chuckle.
The afternoon came quickly and found me in the library working. I had classes to organized and students to attend, otherwise I was going to lost them and the whole work of my life since I left college was going to be for nothing, however it seemed like I couldn't get concentrated. Every time I picked a book, my mind drifted away in the strangest paths. The radio was playing an old song and Sebastian was around cleaning over and over again what was already clean, I watch him come and go so gracefully that was hypnotizing. He always seems to be dancing around, almost floating. He was there and wanted to been noticed by me, I guess it was part of his plan and he was winning, a kind of slumber felt over me and suddenly I was somewhere else, it was so strange.
The sound of the telephone took me out of my entrance and I found myself in the reality observing Hieronymus Bosch´s The Garden of Earthly Delights, were Eden and Hell was all mixed up just like my life.
"Miss, your friend Marie is on the phone, would you like to answer her?" Sebastian asked politely as a good butler.
"Yes, thank you Sebastian" I said after taking a deep breath. It has been month since I last spoke with my best friend, she always have been there for me, and had made the impossible for cheer me up in my darkest hours but I reject her. In the last few weeks I decided to disappear from her sight, and thought that by then she was already too pissed off to talk to me again, and somehow I was happy with that. I was so angry with myself and my situation that I tried to punish everyone around me for my suffering, but right then, it was time to grow up, and accept the consequences for my childish behaviour, so after a few seconds I was ready to hear all of Marie´s reproaches.
"Hello Marie, How are you?" I simply said
"Oh God, girl, finally I can talk to you, geez… How are you?" her tone was friendly, funny and refreshing
"I´ve been busy, sorry" me, on the other hand, was distant, sombre, tired.
"Oh Sheena, come on! Stop sounding like if you are dying" Marie, always so cheerful. "I have a proposal to you" here we go, her proposal were always kind of scaring "are you there"?
"I am listening" I sighed.
"Well, this is going to be epic… There´s this party tonight, and you know I can´t go alone, and it´s the perfect time for you to come out and start having a bit of fun and stop feeling miserable" Hey! I was not miserable I was just… ok maybe I was a little miserable "Sheena, are you there?"
I was in complete silence, I didn´t feel like going out, not just yet. I was a mess, and I was sure I was going to fuck up her night. I was terrible company then and I was afraid.
"Marie, I don't know, I´m not ready yet"
"Oh Sheena don't say no, please" she was so insistent.
Sebastian was still around and while I was trying to come up with more excuses I swear I heard him singing
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have kiki
(Motherfucker)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve
And work and turn and h-h-hone
What the hell was a Kiki, and was it really Sebastian or just the radio.
"Come on Sheena, say yes" Marie was still persistent on the phone and I was losing my mind between her voice and Sebastian's voice, or the radio´s voice.
A kiki is a party
For calming all your nerves
We're spilling tea and dishing just desserts one may deserve
And though the sun is rising
Few may choose to leave
So shade that lid
And we'll all bid
Adieu to your ennui
Oh god I was so confused…
Oh what a wonderful kiki
This kiki is marvelous
(Work it, girl)
Ewww, you know girl we were
Sitting back here just having our own kiki
"OK!" I almost scream. I needed the music to stop, the radio or the demon to shut up, and Marie to stop pushing. My head was killing me, and I was felling nauseous "Ok, I´ll go. Let´s go to this party".
"Perfect! I´ll be at your home at eleven, bye love" and just like that she hung up, and the silence came back.
Sebastian was there looking innocent with an amused look on his face when I plopped down on the coach massaging my temples
"What have I done Sebastian?" I asked almost crying
"Apparently, you decided to go to a party" he said casually.
"Don´t play innocent with me, ok? I don't know how, but this is your plan, I'm sure" I assured him with my eyes closed.
"You are putting too many expectations in my actions, miss" he answered putting his hands on my shoulders, and that was the first time he touched me in such a friendly way that it felt reassuring.
"Yeah, maybe you are right" I said tired getting on my feet "I need a nap, see you later demon".
It was about eight pm when I woke up again and I was feeling so much better that my mood seemed absolutely different from the last one, I went down stairs and what I found was absolutely endearing: Sebastian discovered the television. Yes, he must be a demon, but the fact that he had found something new in this world was cute. It was simple, but he was becoming a modern day demon. Almost a boy, with a curious look on his young face, and I wonder how old could he really be.
I sat next to him on the couch and lift my legs bringing them closer to me "So, what are we watching?" I asked casually
"A documentary about cats" he was such a child sometimes.
"Cats?"
"Yes, cats" was he offended by my question? "Don´t tell me you don't like them miss" he was like disappointed
"Oh no! I like cats, do you dislike them?" this was a crazy conversation.
"Of course not!" he said "I like cats, in fact I think they are wonderful, independent, clever, mysterious little creatures" Ok, my butler had a crush on cats, and why not, he is a demon, zoophile was a possibility after all, and he noted my assumptions "Oh no miss, don't look at me like that, it´s not that kind of attraction" he finished almost ashamed.
"It´s ok Sebastian, maybe someday we can have one" and he was in pure ecstasy, his smile was wide and sincere and I loved to see a sign of humanity in his face. We spend an hour watching the documentary, and Sebastian seemed to never get bored of it, on the other hand, I can´t say the same about me. So by the end of it, I was about to fall sleep again when Sebastian turned off the telly and spoke directly to me about something else than cats.
"Well miss, what are you going to wear tonight?"
"Tonight?"
"Yes, the party, your friend is coming here to pick you up and it seems you forgot about it" he stated looking at his pocket watch. He was right, I totally forgot about Marie, about the party, about everything.
"Oh god! Sebastian, you have to help me" I said standing up like a flash. "Come on, let´s go" The demon stood there looking at me "To my room you fool, now!" and he smile at the invitation.
"Yes my lady"
