Chapter 3.
Chrno sat stiffly in the cream coloured leather couch in the very big and very fancy living room. Opposite him, on another cream coloured leather couch, sat the young blonde woman, who mercilessly had dragged him, from the garden, into the house and placed him rather harshly on said couch.
She had growled at him, effectively making his hands around the camera weaken, so she could snatch it out of his grip.
The camera lay on the little table in front of them.
The blonde was glaring at him from the other side of the table. Her arms were crossed and she had one leg placed over the other. A towel was hanging around her shoulders.
She said nothing. She simply sat there, giving him her death glare.
Chrno didn't dare look at her. He kept his gaze on his hands, which were clasped together in his lap. He was fidgeting slightly with the hem of his T-shirt.
"Oh God, I'm so dead. I'm sure she's thinking out a plan on how to kill me and let my body disappear without a trace."
Rosette was royally pissed. How dare that little midget take pictures of her at the pool? Oh how she would make his life a living hell if she found out there were pictures of her on that camera. Not just embarrassing pictures, but just pictures.
She saw him fidgeting and enjoyed the feeling of power over him. Puny little man.
After another few minutes of just glaring him down, she turned her gaze to the damn camera. It was an old model, not a digital. She grabbed it and examined it "I will find out what you hide in your depths. And then your owner will be dead meat."
Chrno jumped when she suddenly grabbed the camera. He was about to tell her, to be careful with it, since it wasn't his own, but her glare beat him to it. He looked down once again.
"This camera is mine now." she snapped after along time of silence.
The guy looked up at her "What?"
She narrowed her eyes further "You heard me. It's mine now, unless you'll be my servant for a month."
His eyes were wide "Y-Y-Your... s-servant?" a sweat drop crept down his cheek.
She leaned back in the couch, placing the camera next to her "Yes. My servant." She repeated. The guy stared wide eyed at her "C-Can't I just let you get the camera?" he asked hopefully "I-I promise I won't ever take pictures of you again."
Rosette got up from the couch and walked towards him. He visibly tensed up the closer she got. She smirked inwardly "I'm gonna humiliate you." she thought evilly.
Chrno's eyes widened even further. She walked behind the couch and let her hands rest on his shoulders. She leaned in and whispered in his pointed ear "I'll make your life a living hell no matter what your answer is." She said. He shivered as her breath tickled his ear "So be a good boy and do anything I want, if you don't want the last part of your miserable life to end quite suddenly."
He swallowed "I-I..." his hands now clutched his T-shirt quite tightly "I-I..." he tried again, but trailed off. The feel of her breath fanning against his ear made him blush, even though he was scared out of his wits.
Rosette smirked visible now "You what?" she asked, enjoying how he wriggled in her grasp. She tightened her grasp on his shoulders "You will be mine and only mine for one entire month, do you understand?" she hissed darkly, making another shiver run down the boy's spine "Y-Yes." He replied, his voice showing more emotions than he actually wanted.
She smirked "Just wait till the time where you disobey."
She patted his head "That's a good boy. Now tell me your name."
Chrno was stiff, almost stony as he answered "C-Chrno... N-Nesrin."
His cheeks were bright pink and his crimson eyes were wide "Oh gosh, what will she make me do?" he thought fearfully. She had been pretty pissed at him. What would her revenge be? "And I thought she was as cute as an Angel!"
"What a pretty little name." she commented.
Rosette walked away and back to the couch she had been sitting in earlier "Now, what will I make you do first?" she asked aloud, tapping her chin with an index finger. She looked upwards as if in deep thought.
He awaited his doom quite nicely in her opinion. She beckoned him forwards to stand right in front of her. He did so quite hesitantly, his hands still clasped together in front of him.
"The first thing I want you to do is give me a nice foot massage. I've wanted that for ages, but none of those I hired for it did it well enough." She told him "You won't disappoint me now will you?" she asked with an innocent pout.
Chrno swallowed and just nodded. She smirked "Then get to work." She snapped.
Again he nodded and waited till she had sat down.
"Oh gosh, I've never given anyone feet massage before. What do I do?" he thought nervously. He stared at her delicate little foot for a long while. He could sense her growing more and more impatient "Well? What are you waiting for? Get to work!" she commanded, glaring at him.
He jumped and placed his hands on her foot. He started kneading carefully, but she let out a growl "Don't be so lame." She snapped.
"Sorry!" he apologised and did a little harder.
"Ow you moron, that's too hard! It hurts!" she yelped.
Chrno apologized again, massaging a little lighter again.
After about twenty minutes, she told him it was enough. She glared at him "I want you to practice that. You're lamer than any I ever hired for it." She told him coldly.
When the blonde finally told him he could go, he let out a sigh of relief. He was about to exit the garden through his hole, when he heard her angelic, but at the same time devilish voice stop him "Oh Chrno? I'll await you tomorrow nine รณ clock. I want to go shopping." She told him "And if you don't appear at that time, I swear I'll call the police and tell them you molested me." She growled "I know your name now; it will be easy for them to find you."
Chrno swallowed "I-I'll be there, don't worry." He assured her and hurried home.
Jeez, what was he to do? He also needed to explain everything to his boss.
"If I had just stayed in the office, in front of my computer, none of this would ever have happened..." he mumbled downcast.
Rosette smirked at him when he crept through the hole and out of sight "I look forward to tomorrow." She whispered and turned to walk back into the house.
She didn't notice the pair of eyes that were watching her through the hole.
The next day, Chrno came back and entered through the hole. He was wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt and a pair of red shorts.
He walked through the garden and entered the house "R-Rosette! I'm here!" he called.
The young blonde soon appeared. She took a look at her watch "Almost nine, congrats, you made it." She commented.
"Thank God..." he thought relieved. He had been in quite a hurry. He had forgotten to turn on his alarm and then first woken half past eight. His morning had been in record speed.
Rosette was watching him with narrowed eyes. She was standing at the front door "Are you coming or what?" she snapped annoyed, making him jump and scramble towards her "Coming, I'm coming Rosette!"
She grabbed his hair and pulled him back to face her "For you I'm your boss, so don't dare call me by name."
Chrno swallowed "Y-Yes boss." He replied stuttering.
She smirked "That's a good boy. I'll have to remember giving you a treat later."
"I'm dying! Please save me!" The shopping trip was horrible. Chrno had to carry everything she bought, which wasn't exactly little. She bought tons of clothes, jewellery, shoes and many other things. Of course the weather wasn't merciful either. It was burning hot.
"I'll get a heatstroke if this goes on much longer!" he cried inwardly, wishing for nothing more than a glass with ice cold water.
Rosette was wearing a hat and sunglasses. She seemed to enjoy the heat.
"Rose- I mean Boss! Please let us take a break, I can't take it anymore!" he pleaded.
Rosette was looking at a nice summer dress, when she heard the whimpering behind her. She turned annoyed eyes at her servant "You're pathetic you know?" she grumbled. She noticed his red face and the sweat flowing down across his face. His bangs were moist from the sweat and were clinging slightly to his cheeks.
She hung the dress back "Oh fine, five minutes then." She replied in the end. She took a look around "There's shade over there." She said and led him over under a palm tree.
She watched him drop the bags carefully and how he almost collapsed onto the bench that stood there. He let out a long, tired sigh "Oh God... I needed that..." he whispered.
Rosette sat down next to him "Chrno, I'm thirsty. Go buy us a drink."
Chrno looked up "Yes Boss." He replied, looking around for a kiosk or something like that. He hurried off and came back a little later. He gave Rosette her bottle with water and started drinking his own.
He leaned back with a sigh and closed his eyes "Ahh~... that was nice."
Rosette rolled her eyes "You're a weakling you know that?" she commented and poured some of the water in her bottle out over his face.
Chrno sputtered and sat up immediately "Hey!" he mumbled, brushing the liquid away with the back of his hand. He had to admit, that had been even nicer though.
Chrno watched her. She was looking out across the water. She looked like deep in thought. He wondered what she was thinking about, but suddenly, his own thoughts were interrupted, when the blonde jumped up "Okay, break is over." She snapped, glaring at him.
He let out another sigh "Here we go again..." he picked up the many bags, and was once more following the blonde around from shop till shop. At least he had a bottle with water now.
Once again, no one noticed the eyes that were watching their every move.
