Chapter 4

Dennis is currently walking in the hallway to not only think on stuff and see how his mom is. Things were going way too fast for the young hybrid count. So such as witnessing the fallen marriage between his mom and dad when seeing the wild outburst. From there, he had to help his dad pack and load them into the rented U Haul truck. Then having his mom being in a stump and crying her eyes out while trying to comfort her.

Now, Dennis had to deal with having the guy in his and his mom's life. An NBA superstar who so happens to be undefeated, based on what Winnie told him since she is a lover of the sport of basketball. Which is no brainy to Dennis, since she is a she-wolf and canines do love to play with balls. Dennis was slowly liking Rick. But he isn't in the feeling of wanting the black man into his family, due to being too loyal to his own father.

Dennis can not lie. He has heard a lot of negative talk about his father from all the monsters in the hotel, including his close friends and family. Especially from his grandfather. Saying how much of a scoundrel and swine his father is, and also saying he had absolutely no reason at all to have an affair. From what his Grandpa Drac said, his father has the best thing going for him with marrying his mom, living in a nice five-star hotel rent free, and of course, being part of the Dracula Family.

"I need to talk to Mom about her dating the guy." Dennis told himself this when reaching the door. "Mom?."

Dennis knocked on the door but no answer. He tried again and received the same response. Sighing, Dennis had a good idea on where his mom might be. Especially after hearing the shrunken head on his mom's doorknob, telling him that she is out on her date and possibly getting some good lovin.

"No, my Mom is just having fun." Dennis said in denial.

The shrunken head laughed. "Oh, my dear boy, your mom, Mavis, is having fun. And that is having that NBA superstar's nice big black cock of his in her mouth, her pussy, and her asshole. Lucky vampire bitch."

Dennis had a strange facial expression. "I don't even know what pussy is anyway."

As Dennis turned his way away from the door to go and find Rick's door, the shrunken head then said this. "You will know what pussy is soon enough. Because your best friend of yours is sure enough in pure heat."

Dennis shook it off on what was being told to him as he continued walking without anyone stopping him. He was not joking about not knowing what pussy is. Heck, he recalled his father was going to tell him what the birds and the bees are but the conversation never happened. Whatever the talk is, it must be something interesting and such. He tried talking with his new grandma about it, but she only told him that when a man and woman love each other they have one on one fun times by playing a special game in their shared room.

He did not comprehend what that meant but he had heard examples of the so-called special games. He heard a lot of noise and such but can not understand what kind of game makes people do what they do. Though it makes him curious.

"This is the room." Dennis knocked on the door.

He waited and then came Rick. Rick looked at the boy and instantly smiled while closing the door. Dennis raised his brow in curiosity as to what this man was hiding.

"Is my Mom in your room?. If so, can I please see her?. I would like to talk to her." said Dennis.

"Unfortunately, Dennis, your mom is knocked out sleeping. But if you want, we can talk." said Rick.

"You and me, talk?." Dennis was about to say no.

"Yeah, you and me. Come on, let us go and play some B-ball." Rick guided Dennis away from the door.

Indoor Basketball Court…

Rick did some skills with the ball to Dennis's astonishment before seeing him put it in the basket without it touching the rim.

"I know that me in the picture of you and Mom is quite overwhelming and probably soon before being able to recover." Rick began to talk before passing the ball to Dennis.

"Picture?." Dennis dribbled the ball while looking at Rick. "What picture?."

"I mean that I am in your personal life. Meaning that I am sorta a replacement for your dad. But I am not doing that. I'm just trying to help your mom heal and move forward with a new true relationship." Rick grabbed the ball when Dennis threw it at him. "In fact, I am helping to heal you as well."

Dennis raised his brow. "Seriously?. How?."

"Well, based upon the information that I gained from your mom about your dad, he really is not teaching you on how to be a real young man." Rick passed the ball back.

Dennis shoots it but misses the goal entirely. "Such as?."

"Such as, learning to be responsible, being tough when things get too hard." Rick went over to pick up the ball. "Having the chance to step up and handle the things that your mom needs aid in. And mostly be able to pull your weight around here."

"Exactly, Mr. Rick, how can I pull my weight around here?." Dennis asked when getting the ball after Rick shot it in the basket.

"Simple." Rick watched the boy shoot the ball. "Be willing to do some chores around. Just because you have maids around here, it does not mean to be lazy and be unskilled. Nobody likes a nonworking boy. Especially girls."

"Huh, that is wild. I do not suppose that you can help me in that area?." Dennis dribbled the ball in-between his legs.

"You are quite good in my line of work." Rick smiled when seeing how good the boy was.

"You think so?." Dennis looked at Rick with a smile. "It is one of my favorite things to do around here. Are you planning on playing basketball for the rest of your life?."

"Not really." Rick crossed his arms. "I'm working on transitioning into a new sport."

"Really?. What sport are you going to do?." Dennis had a look of excitement.

"Well…" Rick rubbed the back of his head. "I'm going to have my hands on the world of professional wrestling. Right now, I'm dealing with two brands that wanted me to sign a deal with one of them and be a part of the roster."

Dennis and Rick sat down on the floor to prevent foot fatigue. "Who are the two brands?."

"WWE and AEW. I'm more of a WWE fan and I know a few of the wrestlers from that brand personally." explained Rick.

"Who?." Dennis is even excited as he watches WWE nonstop.

"Triple H, Roman Reigns, the Usos, Solo, Naomi, the New Day, Undertaker, Bray Wyatt, Charlotte, Brock Lesnar, and Asuka to name a few." said Rick.

Dennis' eyes grew wide. "Cool."

Meanwhile, between a while, right back in Rick's bedroom, Mavis finally wakes up. She yawned as she smacked her dry mouth before licking her very dry lips. Mavis' brain was feeling very fatigued and foggy as she tried to stay awake and not fall asleep, based upon her mind demanding her to do so or she will regret not doing so. She took the moment to look around for her boyfriend as the memory from yesterday was slowly coming back to her.

"Wow, that was one awesome smoke." Mavis rubbed her head. "I can not believe that I never had weed before since the day I left the hotel. Man, talk about not experiencing everything. I want more."

Mavis slipped her feet into Rick's bedroom slippers and then put herself into his bedroom robes. Next, she exited out of the room and went to find where Rick went off to at this time of night. She searched and asked a few guests if they know where Rick currently is. Let alone having a taste for more weed as soon as possible and needing some food. For some strange reason, Mavis has a massive hunger and needs to handle this before she goes insane.

"Mavis, darling!."

Mavis turned to see her father who was doing his usual rounds. She grinned. "Oh, hey, Dad. How are you?."

Drac straightens his attire. "Feeling old. But hey, that is life."

"Yes, that is true." Mavis yawned a bit. "Have you seen Rick by any chance?."

"Oh, your Zing." Drac rubbed his chin. "Not really. But I am sure he is somewhere in the hotel. You better hope he isn't fooling around."

"Oh, Dad he is not." Mavis had a little frown. "Rick is not Johnny. Rick is a real man. A real man who is not a baboon."

Drac can not argue about that since based upon the vouch from his new wife. Yeah, it is no secret that once he was informed about the affair he was going to raise high fury in the hotel. Drac is going to murder Johnny with no second thoughts. It literally took Frank and everyone in the hotel to stop Drac from doing it as Johnny does deserve the consequences.

"Ok, Mavis, I will give Rick the benefit of the doubt." Drac looked at his daughter with a warm smile. "Try finding him on the basketball court. He is a basketball player after all."

Mavis nodded. "Thanks, Dad."

With no moment to spare, Mavis made her way to the elevator while Drac continued on about his business. He was dealing with trust issues with Rick as he did not want to see his only child hurt once again. Still, he was going to try his best to give Rick a chance. After all, he is not dealing with Johnny this time around. Upon reaching the floor, Mavis exited the elevator and speed walked her way to where the basketball is located. Upon entering, she found her man and her son. To her surprise she sees Dennis having a wonderful time with the man.

Mavis approached the two without them knowing she was there, since she is in fact walking on the ceiling listening to the two talk.

"So you really think that I can make it big in the NBA?." Dennis still had an excited look on his face.

"I do not joke when it comes down to potential sweet skills in playing professional basketball." Rick took the moment to shine the ball. "You got what it takes to be a good player, Dennis. Just remember that there is no I in the word team. Winning a basketball game is a team effort."

"I understand." Dennis smiled. "You know Rick?. I am happy that you are taking great care of my mom. She needs happiness."

Mavis had that sensitive smile on her face. That was the most kindhearted thing that she has ever heard her only child say. Her little Dennis values her needs as not only as his mom but also as a woman. Mavis is indeed impressed on how Rick is able to win Dennis over and make him accept him into their lives. This made Mavis so turned on as she truly had found her true Zing. Suddenly her sneakiness came to a sudden close as her stomach started rumbling. It alerted both Rick and Dennis, who then looked up to see a blushed Mavis.

"Mavis?." Rick looked at the woman with a brow raise.

"Mom?." Dennis had the same facial expression. "Are you spying on me and Rick?."

Mavis had no way to explain herself as she did not expect to be caught. Not like this at least. "I have no comments or can give a good explanation."

"Well, it sounds like you are hungry." began Rick.

Mavis chuckled. "I am more starving than hungry, Rick."

"Ok, let us go and eat!." Dennis said with the mindset of eating.

With that said, the three exited from the basketball court with Mavis and Rick holding hands. Dennis took the moment to look at the two and see how happy they are together. It made the boy feel a bit happy to see his mom happy as he had thought that she would never smile without force. Still, Dennis has still been wondering what is so great about being in a romantic relationship. He sees his grandpa and new grandma all happy and stuff, much less see everyone being in a relationship. He still has no clue what you can do in a relationship once you Zing. But little does he know that he is going to find out sooner than he thinks.

The three found themselves in the massive mess hall which is a buffet style everyday brunch, both monster and human style food dishes. They went up to one of the upper levels of the place and settled in a good booth before going to grab a plate to pile up with their choice of food. The three ate while talking amongst themselves and just enjoying the delicious freshly cooked meals.

"My, My, My, how much I love this picture that I am seeing." Erika looked at the couple and her grandson with great happiness.

"Well, Mom, it is the best thing to happen in my afterlife." Mavis took a bite of her grilled eye of newt.

"Thanks again, E, for hooking me up with Mavis." said Rick, before taking a sip of his water.

Erika smiled. "Oh, the pleasure is all mine. As a matter of fact, I am running real low on you know what."

"I will tell Mike to refill you right back up. Wherever his high horny ass is." informed Rick.

"You guys talking about weed?." Mavis looked with such excitement. "I want to try all the types."

Erika looked at her best friend with a grin. "Show Mavis how to have a great time and know how to be truly relaxed."

"What are you guys talking about?." Dennis spoke with a mouthful.

"It is grown talk, sweetie." Mavis rubbed his head. "And please do not talk with your mouth full, Dennis. That is just gross."

Dennis nodded while swallowing his food. "Sorry, Mom."
