Chapter three: whip cream
"Yes chief … No I understand … of course it will never happen again. I'm just as mad at myself. … That's Not fair He worked hard last night … he was not back till after two … no … yes she's with us … do you know her name … Marilin and she's five … so we have the day off then … of course we'll both be in first thing tomorrow. Thank you sir. Good bye."
Ryo hung up the receiver and headed back into the kitchen. He had not been able to sleep and had abandoned any hope of rest around five. He had already taken a shower, witch he was sure would disappoint Dee, and had sent Bikky and Cal off to school, and started breakfast, Belgian waffles with fruit topping, one of his personal favorites.
'mmm something smells good.' Dee rolled over so he was face to face with Marilin. He jumped out of bed so fast that he backed into the dresser. He had completely forgotten that she was there. He pulled on a pair of jeans and went to go find Ryo.
He was standing in the kitchen over the waffle iron humming along to a country song on the radio. Dee light up a cigarette and stood in the corner watching him. "Dee, can you not smoke in the kitchen please?" Ryo said pointing the spatula at him from over his shoulder.
"Sorry Baby," Dee said putting out the offensive object. "What cha doin?"
"Makin waffles what dose it look like?" Ryo said turning around. He handed Dee a plate of waffles and kissed him on the check. "Go put those on the table please Kiboto." Ryo said hitting his butt playfully when he turned around. Dee gave him a wicked smile to witch Ryo pretended nothing had happened.
Ryo turned off the waffle iron and followed Dee into the dinning room. Marilin was standing in the door way. "Good morning Marilin," Ryo said kneeling down to look her in the eyes' "would you like some breakfast? You must be hungry, I made waffles." She peered up on the table and over at Dee and then sat down in Bikky's chair.
Ryo stood up apparently pleased that she had not screamed in his face. Dee had found the whipped cream Ryo had put on the table earlier and was holding it up with another wicked grin on his face. Ryo just shook his head as Dee squirted the cream in his mouth and pulled Ryo in to a kiss. Ryo licked the whipped cream out of Dee's mouth. Dee pulled back still grinning and licked Ryo's lips. "I love you baby." Dee whispered in Ryo's ear
"Love you too, Kiboto." Ryo said laughing as Dee sat down at his seat, 'I really should tell Dee I don't like whipped cream, but he loves doing that so much I don't think I have ever seen him eat it unless it's was in my mouth first. I only kept it around for Bikky. Whatever, it makes him happy, plus I'm starting to like it. Man I'm getting to be as kinky as he is.' Ryo shook his head and went to sit down, but Dee had other plans he pulled Ryo onto his lap wrapping his arms around his waist so Ryo couldn't move.
Marilin just stared at Ryo, 'well at least she didn't scream at me this time.' Ryo smiled at her and tried to pull away from Dee, but he wasn't letting go.
"Baby let go," Ryo said laughing.
"I don't think so you might be willing to let me off for coming home late last night, but there's no way I'm letting you off that easy for blowing me off at work. Did you honestly expect me to do that paper work by myself?"
"Well not really I kinnda hoped you would seeing as how I was not there to bail you out." Ryo said looking slightly annoyed.
"Lucky for you I actually did my work yesterday. No thanks to you. But the paper work does not bother. I'm just curious as to where you went."
"Let's see I had some errands to run and a parent teacher conference at Bikky's school."
"That conference was at 4:30 I checked and you left at 1. We had plenty of groceries and I don't see anything different around the house and I don't recall anything being broken. So what kinnda errands were you running?"
"Just you regular kind I was helping Uncle Rick out over at his place, is that enough of an excuse for you Mr.?"
"I suppose, besides I'm hungry and you're between me and the waffles that are calling my name."
"Calling your name are they?"
"Yes, they are there saying, 'Dee eat us we're really good and hot and steamy how could you not want to eat us. Ryo made us and everything he makes is delicious."
"Trying to get your self out of trouble by complementing me?"
"I'm not complementing you it's the waffle personally I think Cal makes much better waffles." Dee said smirking.
Ryo just hit him upside the head and sat down in the chair next to Dee.
Marilin had not taken a bite yet she was just staring at them in awe. When she realized that Ryo had started staring back she quickly shoved a bite in her mouth and turned away.
"Marilin will you hand me the last plate off the table?" Ryo asked. She brought the plate in from the dinning room and handed it to Ryo and stood there watching him as he finished up the dishes. "Thank you, was my cooking any good? I'm sure it does not compare to your mother's, but I hoped you liked it."
"…" She just looked at Ryo and waked into the living room. Dee was sitting on a chair smoking she sat on the sofa and crossed her legs and pretended to smoke.
Dee put out his cigarette and said, "Don't copy me kid. Smoking is a nasty habit I keep saying that I'm going to quite but well you get the idea" apparently she didn't because she just stubbed out her imaginary cigarette right after Dee. Dee just laughed and shook his head.
Ryo emerged from the kitchen and sat down on Dee's lap. "We have the whole day off let's go do something fun"
"It's raining babe, not much we can do in the rain."
"No I guess you right"
"Hey we could rent movies and stay in. That Van Diesel movie is out on DVD."
"Dee, that's rated 'R'" Ryo said pointing towards Marilin.
"Oh yah we have the pip-squeak with us. We could get one of those drama ones you and Cal like so much and watch my movie after she falls asleep."
"That sound good to you Marilin?"
"…"
"Hey Ryo how do you now her name she didn't tell you did she?"
"No, the chief did. Why don't you go get whatever. I have a quick errand to run and we can meet back here I'll take 'the pit-squeak' with me."
"Running more errands are you?"
"Yes I am, you going to make something of it?"
"I just might you'll have to wait and see"
"Is that a threat Dee Laytner?" Ryo asked handing Dee his coat and Marilin one of Bikky's witch look ridiculously big on her and putting on his own.
"So what if it is?" Dee said smirking and waking out the door.
