MALCOLM

CHAPTER SIX

"So, all this food goes to waste?" I questioned
"No, not all of it. Mr. Heelshire eats some of them. He's
Always been the less strict one about all of this" Malcolm said
"Oh, speaking of the Heelshires. Your first week's pay
For a job well done" he said giving me a
Envelope.
"Thank you. But, I have a question"
I said to him.
"Yes. I am single. Believe it or not"
He said smiling
"What's the story with the doll?"
He said
"Yes" I said nodding

"It was a fire Brahms didn't make it out" He says
"On his eighth birthday.. Such a
Tragedy."
"And the doll turned up not long after that" He said
I just nodded while looking at
Brahms tombstone in silence.
"I know it must seem strange. I mean, it
Is bloody strange." He said looking
At me.
"But it's all harmless, a way to cope"
"I can't image what it must be like to lose a child" he said
"So, he died 20 years ago? He'd be about
Your age." I said with a small smile
"Mm-hm and they've been looking for a nanny
For the last year." He said looking at me
As I looked at him.
"You're probably going mad in this house, aren't
You?" He questioned
"It might be good to get out. I could show you
The world-famous local nightlife. I mean I know technically
You're not supposed to leave Brahms, but I won't tell if
You won't."
"Uhh I just got out of a thing" I said laughing a bit
"Uhh oh, this is not a thing" he said
"You know, I.. I assure you of that. This is, uh..
A professional courtesy seeing as we're employed by
The same people." He said joking
I laughed
"You know, it's a duty is what it is." He said
"I will take no pleasure in it whatsoever. I-i promise" he
Said laughing a bit.

Brahms POV:
Why are they talking to him.
They are mine.

(And to your POV)
"I wish my job payed that much" my roommate
Said.
"And they paid you in cash?!"
"Yeah. In pounds" I said to her
"What are you doing?" She asked
"Uh, I'm getting ready to put Brahms to sleep"
"Maybe i should become a stripper" she said
"Uh, I don't know how r/n would react to that." I said chuckling
"How much do they even make?" She asked
"How would I know" I asked
"Anyways, what about that Malcolm dude" she asked
"Him? Oh were friends I think" I answered
"You think?.." she said
I walked towards the mirror I saw Brahms
On his bed. But, his head towards me.
As if someone moved him to face the direction of my room.
"Hello?...Y/n?" My roommate asked
"You ther-"
"Yeah, I'm here but, I gonna go" I said
"Oh okay see ya" she said then
Hanged up

"Okay Brahms it time to sleep."
I said closing the book and putting it aside.
"Goodnight" I said giving him his goodnight kiss
And, turning off his lamp.

Time to take a shower -Y/n
