I hear plates being smashed in the sink, along with shouting. I know it's mark without even needing to see it.
'Mark start chopping the veg, i'll wash the rice. Take that anger out on the carrots' I hear Isy say to him
I hear a grunt as a response the visious chopping on the board.
'Hey girl, did you have a good time?' Isy asks looking worried and flusted and giving me the look.
'Yeah it was nice just what I needed after the last 24 hours' I reply back
'That's good, you missed the scream matching earlier, his royal pain in the ass was demanding where you was and Angel told him it was none of his buisness as it was a day off' Isy says
'Really? Does he think he's my keeper?' I reply
'Well I told him that your whereabouts is none of his concern and he should keep his nose out' Mark chimes in with anger clear in his tone.
I watch as Isy touches his arm to help him calm down.
'Who does he think he is? Are you okay? you seemed very pissed' I ask Mark with concern
'Yeah i'm okay, just fed up of entillted brats. His boss had to pull him away' Mark say's with a smirk on his face.
'I'm guessing you to almost got into a brawl?' I ask already knowing the answer
'Maybe, but we didn't which is good' Mark say's, he has serious anger issues but we have been able to help him control it.
'Well how about you tell me what your making today?' I ask trying to change the subject, I know food is his thing.
He came here after he got out of prison for his anger, always got into a fight wherever he went. Angel is a sucker for helping people in need, they went through so many staff members but when Isy came along as a runaway they got on really well. He taught her how to cook as he learned in prison and it became their love language. He became a father she needed and she became a daughter he needed.
I walk towards mark resting my head on his shoulder, it's comforting for all of us. I notice Liz going to the other shoulder doing the same, it's kinda weird or version of a group hug. It's not normal but it's our way of doing it.
'I'm okay I promise, we are making chicken tikka today. Now can you get of me now?' Mark ask's as we feel him relax.
'Nope not yet' We both say at the same time
'Seriously! Neither of you are getting of me?' Mark ask's
'That's right, we want some Mark love' I say to him
'Well that is just weird, please don't ever say that again' Mark say's
'Well maybe if you feed me we can come to an agreement' I say to him
We know how to get him calm and how to make him smile, for us it's not hard because we worked with him. He's a great guy but his anger is on another level, I believe he can kill if he was angry enough.
'Well get of me and i'll wip you up something' He say's with a smile
'Deal but only if you ignore that pig and remember that you are our faviourt cheif' I say back to him.
'That's a deal' Mark say's as he holds out his hand to seal the deal
I grab it and shake it sealing the deal, if we wasn't in the kitchen and he was prepping food id lick him. But I know what he's like with hygiene and I wouldn't want to do that to him. He keeps the kitchen spotless and everything has to be cleaned, every 2 weeks he will come in for a deep clean.
It's normally on a sunday as its the quietist day in a week, it's his faviourt time just deep cleaning. We all stay well clear and let him do his thing. It's his personal therapy, so everyone leave's him be it's best for everyone.
I watch has he assemble's a ham and cheese panni with a squirt of BBQ saurce, he relaxes as he put's it together so gently. It's a simple dish but I know it'll be the best thing I will ever taste, I don't know how he does it but he alway's makes a master piece.
'By the way I got the dishes out if the cottage that you collected, thank you for washing them' Liz say's as she gets the rice in the rice cooker.
It's one thing i've learned that the best way to cook rice is with a rice cooker, it come's out perfect as long as you wash it correctly and soak the rice in cold water before it cooks.
Since being here i've learned so much about food and cooking as well as so many other things, this place really has been my saviour. When I arrived here I was about 8 stone, i've managed to gain about 2 stone. I now have a body again, I have my curves again. I haven't seen them in so long, eating when I could.
'Here you go, this should tied you over till later' Mark say's as he hands me the plate with a smile.
'Thank you, I shall demolish this when I get in and i'll bring the plate back when I get my tea' I say while making a cross on my chest as a promise' As my reply back
I head out through the back door heading straight to my place my little haven, my home. As I walk along the path I notice him standing outside talking to Cain, them seem to be deep in conversation. Maybe I can just slide right past them without being noticed, well I hope i'll be able to.
I can't hear what they are saying as their in hushed voice's but I can tell it's slightly heated by the tone. I'm able to just reach the door before I feel his eye's burning a hole in the back of my head, I just go in not giving him the satisfaction of a response.
Once inside quickly closing the door behind me, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
'Think she's ignoring you' I hear Cain speak
'Well she can ignore me all she want's but i'm not letting her out my sight' His royal highness say's back to him.
'Do you think she knows? like can she sense you?' Cain ask's his friend
'Who knows but if she can she's hiding it well' He reply's back
'Well we need to know more about her, there's something not right about her' Cain say's
'I know, Drew is working on it but hit a dead end, she was adopted at a few days old after being dumped at a church step' He say's to Cain
How do they know all this, what are they talking about. Why the hell are they looking into me, this is really starting to scare me now. I slowly move away from the door not wanting to hear anything else.
'At least she's eating, I don't think she's had much to eat today' Cain reply's
'well once we know more about her, that will be changing. She will be eating at least 3 meals a day no matter what' He sponds
