Work!
Well another chapter. Sorry I was a little too busy yesterday to update. So I will give you one today. Tomorrow I hope to post a chapter but with it being New Year's Eve, I am not sure. I usually spend the night watching movies with my niece. So it all depends. Well Enjoy!
Ten minutes before seven I rang the doorbell. Sesshomaru answered the door and mumbled a "Good morning" to me and then gave me a shot and quick tour of the house. The layout was easy to remember with Living room, dinning rooms, kitchen, spare bedroom, bathroom and a laundry room all downstairs. Upstairs you had three bedrooms, bathroom and a office.
We ended back up in the kitchen where we discussed what was required of me and the job. "You will start at six every morning. You have the house to yourself during the day. You are on call at all times. That means nights, weekends, and even holiday's. I leave for work a quarter till eight. Your time will be divided between here and my office. The way you plan out your day is up to you but I expect you to stay on top of your orders."
I took in every word he said as I stood opposite of him at the island counter and kept going on about my duties and then stopped. "Why aren't you writing this down? I do not repeat myself Rin." He told me. I smiled at him. "You wont have too." Sesshomaru unwillingly accepted this answer and then carried on as before.
After he finished telling me everything that was required of me. We made our way to the front door. Sesshomaru picked up his computer bag and was about to exit through the garage door but turned to face me. "Today's list is by the front door. I usually arrive home around seven. If I am running late you will receive a call by six-thirty if my plans have changed then I shall call by three." He said and then left and I smiled as he did.
I went and grabbed the list and then started to plan out what how I would work out the day. Sesshomaru hadn't called all day and so I went a head and made dinner for him. It was a simple meal of dry rubbed steak with fully loaded baked potato and green beans. When I heard the garage door opened I plated his meal.
Sesshomaru walked in when I was setting his place at the table. "Good evening. How was work?" I asked him. "Hell." Was all he said and then sat down. "I am sorry to hear that. Can I get you something to drink?" I asked him.
Sesshomaru sighed. "Rum with a shot of coke." He said and I was obey his request. I handed him the drink and in a second had the drink gone. He held his glass silently telling me to refill it. I smiled and did so. "Will you need anything else?" I asked him. "A hot shower and a sleeping pills." He said. I chuckled and then smiled. "Nothing I can about those two things but I can get clothes set out for you." I said and then made my way upstairs.
I came back down after setting out his clothes. "I set your clothes out in your bathroom and I also put your computer bag in your office." I told him and then started to put away the left overs and and started on the dished as I waited for him to finish his meal. "You have some messages I put them on on your desk. I am not sure of you knew but your back door's lock is broken. I already called a locksmith they will be out here tomorrow between nine and ten. They said they would mail you the bill." I told him all that I did and then finished the dishes.
I took his plate and cleaned them as well. "Did you eat anything?" He asked me. I turned around and smiled. "No I am going to wait till I get home." I answered him. "Thank you for dinner." He said to me. I smiled more at him. "Your welcome. Do you need anything else?" I asked him. Sesshomaru shook his head no. "Well then I will be making my way home." I said to him and then grabbed my purse and said goodnight.
The next morning when I arrived I found an envelope with my name on it. I opened it up and found a set of keys in it. I nodded to myself and then let myself in. I picked up my list and made my way to the kitchen as I heard Sesshomaru getting ready for the day. I was finishing up his breakfast as he entered the room. "Good morning." I said as I walked over to the table and set his plate down.
He sat down at the table and started in on his breakfast. I tidied up the kitchen and then went and retrieved his laptop bag and coat. I laid the the laptop down and held out Sesshomaru's coat for him. He easily slipped into it and I then held out his laptop for him.
Sesshomaru took his bag and then left for work. I opened the windows to allow fresh air in and then started on the laundry. The locksmith arrived at nine-forty and had the lock fixed with in half an hour. After that was done I made my way to town and started my real work. Sesshomaru had me running all over town. I stopped by a sandwich shop and bought him a roast beef sandwich and then made my way to his office.
I made my way to his office and was let in. I handed him his lunch. He opened it up and found that I got him and then looked up at me. "Did I not get it right?" I asked him. Sesshomaru shook his head. "No it's just I don't remember telling you what I liked." He said to me. I smiled at him. "I have yet to meet a man who doesn't like roast beef sandwich." I said and then glanced at his desk. I noticed a picture of a woman with Sesshomaru and she was pregnant. I quickly turned away.
"Thank you." He said. I smiled once more and then turned when I head a sound. I noticed his colleagues where standing at the door. I stood from my seat to make room for the men. They then made their way in and found places to sit. I smiled at them all and then turned back to Sesshomaru. "Need anything else?" I asked him.
Sesshomaru shook his head. "Do you have much left to do?" He asked me. I shook my head and showed him the list of what was left to do. Sesshomaru nodded and that was my cue to leave and to finish what was left of my day. "Rin thank you for lunch." He said and then I waved bye to everyone and left the room.
Sesshomaru came into the kitchen as I was finishing his meal for the night. I grabbed him a beer to go with it and then laid it on the table. "Well I must say your cooking is the best I have had in a long time." He said to me. I smiled at his complement. "Well thank you. Cooking for a demon can be difficult due to your sensitive smell and taste." I said to him. Sesshomaru was a little surprised at my comment but nodded. I informed Sesshomaru of where his things are and took his dishes as he polished off his plate. I cleaned the dishes and then told him a goodnight.
Sesshomaru's Point of View
I grabbed another beer after Rin left. I then went to my office and sat down. I found a black envelope with my name on it. I opened it up to reveal a RSVP to the pest of a brother's wedding. I filled out the invitation and then tossed it to the side. I found a sticky note on a stack of bills. "I am not sure how you want me to pay these for you. Please let me know and I will take care of them as soon as possible." I read out loud. "Hn...at least she can actually write." I said to myself.
I sighed and then looked at the picture I had of my late wife. She had her hands on her stomach smiling. "Why?" I asked for what was sure to be the millionth time sense her death. When I called it quits it was two in the morning. "Hate working at home." I said out loud and then went to bed.
I'm not sure how she does it but some how she can go hundred miles an hour. But she always manages to get everything done. Maybe that's why she has last the whole month. Which to me is a great deal of help. The routine of breakfast and dinner was quit easy. Both my work life and my home life were becoming easier and easier the longer she worked for me. For once I believe I can rely on someone outside of my own family which is a rarity.
I just pray it last for a long while. Living my life with Rin in it has become secure and I know I wont die anytime soon thanks to Jaken or my own cooking. I sat in my chair at the kitchen table and was indulging in my tasteful breakfast while Rin is once again getting my things together for work. "Work." I sigh.
Yes I know another short chapter but its better then nothing. Right? Right! Ok well thanks to those who have read and enjoyed the story. :)
