Chapter 11

Hearing the door open I glance up from working with Renaştere and Bear on training seeing Rachel come in with a shirt "I got a part time job" she says proudly.
Humming I smirk "am I supposed to give you a cookie too?" I ask while keeping Bear from taking the dog biscuit from my hand.
"Rude" Rachel says while holding a shirt for Carl's Jr up showing me.
"Not bad, you're friendly enough to do it without trying to bust a customer's head on the counter"
She frowns looking at me "you didn't did you?" She asks.
"Nope, I threw gravy" I answer.
"Did you find a job yet?" She asks knowing I'm completely serious.
"Yeah, I'm going to be working at some supplies store"
"Big stuff or?" She asks frowning.
"Little of both and some tools" I answer while lifting a finger then pointing to the ground watching the dogs.
Having both dog jump trying to grab the treat I huff turning my body away from them while they keep jumping "let's hope someone doesn't piss you off then" she snarks sarcastically.
I smile before lifting my fingers to my mouth whistling loudly, hearing the dogs whine shaking their head I see Rachel rub her ear "do you have to do that inside?"
Shrugging I motion to the dogs "lay" I say sternly to the dogs, seeing Renaştere do as I said I give her a treat before Bear tries to jump on me.
Whistling again he whines dropping back down "lay" I say again, seeing him finally do it I hand him his treat and pat his head.
"It makes them get down" I add looking at Rachel.
Seeing her roll her eyes I smile following her to the basement where I been putting anything I'm sending home in storage containers.
"Why come in here?" I ask.
"Where do you put toys?" She asks pulling a bag from her backpack.
Humming I move to the far right one opening it, she smiles putting in two cabbage patch dolls and a few cars.
"Where'd you get those?" I ask.
"I found a yard sell, they had some stuff I could afford"
"You don't have to help me with this" I say smiling slightly.
She shrugs closing it again "am I cooking or you?" She asks walking out.
"Can you handle it or are you going to set the stove on fire again?" I counter.
"It was one time and because Karl scared me, I don't get why a grown man was crawling around on all fours like a dog at midnight"
"He does weird shit when he sleep walks"
"How did you even know or reach us fast enough to stop him from jumping on me?" She asks.
"I'm use to it, I heard him up and thought you was still at work when I came in"
Rachel pov
Looking at Matilda I nod moving to grab something to make for dinner, there's something strange about her family she's to strong, hardly sleeps, and eats like she's starving then her father even for a giant he's far to big and the fact he could walk or stand defies logic even if he's a nice guy.
Then Karl and his almost animal like behavior plus I'm almost certain I seen him make a metal knife float and fly at Matilda but they both claim he threw it.
Seeing her walk away I watch her grab the house phone and bit my lip, I could grab the second one and listen in but I don't want to disrespect her trust in me.
Shaking it off I open the door for the dogs while grabbing a knife to start cutting the meat, listening to Matilda softly talking in the living room.
"I don't know, he took off after getting the dress, I figured he'd be rushing home with his tail between his legs" she says raising her voice slightly.
"Angie, do not get an attitude with me I can't help your a little shit that jumps into fights with them" she snaps.
Hearing her sigh I keep working "finally, thank you Donna" she says calmly but I feel eyes on me.
Frowning I look at her seeing she's got her head back and eyes closed, turning to the window I look out seeing nothing, shaking my head I toss Matilda's meat on the pan with a small amount of wine in.
"How long do I cook this?" I call.
"Just like you would salmon" she answers.
Rolling my eyes I put mine on the second pan, it seems weird she eats mostly raw meats, or having to use two different pans, I've even had to use two different wines when I make anything I use wine in for flavor.
Flipping Matilda's meat I then look at the two bottles of wine both from a company called Sanguis Virginis, hers is a beautiful bottle with a decorative top of silver leaves that it must be the claim to fame since its got the same name for the type of wine, mines a plain bottle with the same company name and logo but it doesn't have a name on it just bird wings on the label.
Grabbing Matilda's food I plate it and finally flip mine "I'd have to look but I'm sure I can find some" Matilda says laughing.
Glancing at her I smile slightly seeing her shaking her hair out with her hand smiling at whatever her cousin said, she like a walking contradiction she can seem high class and control a room just walking in or seem like an average hard working person, she's calm and caring and short tempered willing to kick everyone's ass.
I have no doubt I'd have died in Raccoon City if it wasn't for her, she honestly scared the hell out of me at first but she was always so calm when facing those monsters, at times it was like they didn't even see us as we walked past.
I figured it out fast that she was willing to help me but I had to pull my own weight to at least a little, she never asked for me to do anything I couldn't although killing one of those things was a lot, I know it was for a good reason because after that one I had to help her when we got cornered.
Grabbing her preferred wine glass I pour her some and place them at the table, her eyes snap to me but I ignore it going to finish cooking my food.
Hearing her come to the table I hear her laugh, glancing at her I see her on the phone still.
That's another thing that confuses me, she makes a lot of long distance calls I'm sure the bill must be expensive but I'm not allowed to help even pay a little on it, she covers the entire bill but I do help with water and electric while she covers most of the groceries.
Matilda pov next day
Stumbling out of bed I grunt tripping over my shoe after my blanket finally releases my leg.
Pulling my shirt on I start zipping my pants and hiss feeling the zipper catch my skin and panties.
Getting that release I huff heading to the kitchen only to feel a large furry body take my leg out, I throw my hand out to grab the table but end up jamming my finger "son of a bitch" I hiss.
Standing up I shake my hand after popping my fingers and finally reach the coffee pot to make my cup only to find my preferred travel mug missing.
Sighing I grab one of the extras and to make my coffee in.
Grabbing my travel mug I walk out of the house and down the street leaving the car for Rachel, I don't want to chance driving with how my mornings going so far.
Halfway there I frown at a hand grabbing my coffee from me "you stupid mother" I trail off seeing the chick from Raccoon City smirking at me.
"What was that beautiful?" She asks before taking a drinnk.
Crossing my arms I glare at her as she hums frowning at it "what do you put in this?" She asks.
"Two sugars, three scoops of creamer, one hot chocolate mix with marshmallows, and a spoon full of caramel" I snap.
She hums again taking another drink "where are you off to?" She purrs.
"Work"
Seeing her nod I reach for my coffee on for her to slap my hand and walk away "thanks for the coffee, later beautiful".
Shaking off my shock I move to follow her around the corner "hey lady give me my damn coffee" I snap only to find she's gone.
Groaning I tilt my head back rubbing my forehead "it's gonna be one of those days" I mutter turning to head to work.
"I really should just go home and stay in bed all day, instead of testing my luck more" I mutter but continue on.
