Chapter Five: Dinner with the Firefly's
The Firefly family sat at their candle-filled dining room table, watching incredulously as Daisy ate her dinner. She was wolfing down her meatloaf and mashed potatoes as if she hadn't eaten in years.
"Where're y' puttin' all that, Daisy-love?" Mama asked the brunette as she shoveled an enormous amount of potatoes into her mouth.
Daisy shrugged. "Haven't eaten this good since I left!"
Mama beamed with the praise and glanced around the table to make sure everyone else had heard. Baby rolled her eyes and stared amusingly at her friend as she pecked at her own plate.
"Never would'a thought little Daisy'd have tits that big!" Hugo remarked as he leered at Daisy's ample bosom.
"You jest shet up right there, Grampa!" Mama protested. The elderly man laughed and spread his fingers into a 'V' shape, flicking his tongue between them.
"Gross," Baby commented.
Rufus leaned back in his chair, watching Daisy stick food between her beautiful lips. She glanced up at him and grinned, knowing he thought he would be able to have sex with her that night. Making a face, Daisy shook her head at the handsome man.
"Keep dreamin' Rufy!"
Mama and Baby, getting the joke, began to giggle.
"You laugh now," said a voice behind them, "but what you don't know is girls like that are poison."
All eyes flew to Otis, who walked into the room to take a seat at the head of the table.
"Why Otis, I'm so glad y' came t' dinner," Mama cooed.
Otis shrugged, keeping his gaze on Daisy, who ignored him as she ate the last bite of her meatloaf. He could feel Baby glaring at him from across the table, but he paid no attention.
"Pictures last longer, y' know," Daisy said.
"Good idea," he answered. "I may want to remember what you looked like."
She smiled prettily. "Kiss my lily white ass."
"I will. Don't worry."
The others watched them, their eyes glancing from side to side like a game of tennis.
"Just 'cause someone's prettier than you don't mean y' gotta be jealous," Daisy sneered. "Pasty white went out when Casper the Friendly Ghost did."
Baby began to laugh and bounce in her seat. "Casper! Casper! Casper!"
"Fuck off, Baby!" Otis roared before turning his attention back on Daisy. "We don't want no fucked up Hollywood bitches here fucking things up!"
"I ain't no Hollywood bitch!" Daisy protested. "Don't be fuckin' stupid!"
"You're bein' such an ass, Otis!" Baby remarked irritably.
Otis glared at her. "Shut the fuck up, Baby! What I'm doing tonight is destiny!"
"Oh, and what th' hell are y' gonna do?" Daisy asked in amusement.
His lips curved into a sinister grin and he leaned forward onto the table. "I'm here to administer the antidote to the poison." Otis lifted his hand from under the table, drawing a gun from his pants.
