Abby happily eats her meal as she bounces from her seat every time she likes the taste of her food. Lady. Madeleine smiles contently at her daughter's reaction to the food, also eating silently like me.
"Where's Master. Luke?" I ask Lady. Madeleine.
"Still in the office, I think something huge comes up this time. He stayed there all night" Lady. Madeleine says as she sighs soon after.
As we're done eating our breakfast, I help her clean the table, because Abby made a mess earlier. I handed her the plates as she mutters thanks to me. She washes the dishes as I help her wipe them dry.
"Can you please make a sandwich for Luke and tell him to eat his breakfast before I decided to let him sleep outside tonight." Lady. Madeleine asks, her voice became stern, like a mother, in her last sentence. I nod in response. She made her way to Abby who's playing her toys on the couch. She picks her up as a robot takes the toys, putting it on a cabinet where Abby's toys located.
Abby whines as she squirms in her mother's arms, making Lady. Madeleine slaps her butt as Abby pouts in response.
"I want to stay with Aiden! I want to play with him" Abby whines
"No, Aiden needs to go to daddy first, then after that, he'll play with you." Lady. Madeleine said from upstairs as I heard Abby whine again making me chuckle at her antics.
I start making a tuna sandwich and a black coffee for my master's. I plate the sandwich as I put them on a tray, after that I went to my Master's office where it's located at the end of the hallway. I knocked to the colored grey door as I announce myself.
"Aiden, Master, may I come in?" I ask politely. When it comes to work, respect and politeness is a must since Master. Luke was like a ticking bomb that ready to explode.
"Yes, you may," Master said from the other side of the door as I slowly open the door with my right foot. I slid inside the room and gently closes the door as I bow in respect. He looks up from his paperwork, his glasses cling to the bridge of his nose as he pushes it up with his middle finger.
"Put that on the table," he said as he motions me to sit. I placed the tray on the table beside the opened window as I took the plate and coffee from the tray, putting them on his desk instead.
He looks up at me blankly but his brows slightly knitted together. I also give him a look. I might be his employee when it comes to work, but he's like a father to me, working or not he needs to eat.
"You have to eat, Master, or else Lady. Madeleine will make you sleep outside tonight" I said with a slightly annoyed tone. He sighs as he folds his sleeves up to his biceps. He picks up the sandwich without hesitation as he eats it all up. Chewing them as he swallows the food with his coffee.
He took another one as he eats it in one go. Did he not eat dinner yesterday? He looks like someone who didn't eat anything for a day.
"Did you not eat yesterday?" I voice out as I look at him, making a face because he looks like a pig now.
"I ate yesterday. I work all night without food, of course, I'll be hungry. And also, stop making faces, it doesn't suit you" he told me as I just ignore him. Rubbing his tummy in satisfaction humming in delight that his stomach got something in there. Silence fills the space as it makes me kind of uncomfortable, not really fond of what he'll tell me today. Some sort of meeting is not my forte. All I do is eliminate the rebels and do what I was ask for.
*Burp*
And he burps... that moment of silence, that made me so f*cking uneasy, he was just preparing himself to freaking burp. Not just that, it was the loudest burp I ever heard in my life.
"I told you to stop making that face!" he exclaims as I look at him with disgust.
"I can't believe you're the one who took care of me all my life...I'm so ashamed," I said as disappointment evident to my tone. Though I was just kidding around, we're always like this so no worries... I'm still disgusted though.
"What do you mean by that?!" he whines like Abby. Pouting in a childish way that would really look ridiculous to a muscled old dad.
I sigh as I tried to shrug it off. I look at him in the eyes as a serious atmosphere replaces the light-fun atmosphere.
"I heard that you called me, Master," I said in a monotone.
"Yeah, I'm going to have a meeting with CIA and FBI later in the evening and everyone wants your presence there. Gather all the data you've got about drug and murder related crimes, if their war crime happened within this last 5 years, I need them all. I also need you to pay attention to any word that leaves their smartass mouths.
We don't have to speak, we're just going to listen there, but if we are instructed to speak we will... Inform the robots to keep an eye on precious ladies, we don't know what will happen without you being here." He said seriousness in his voice was heavy. His form turns intimidating as he instructs me what I have to do.
"I'll trust Doggie with that for the other robots I am not sure," I said warily, he sighs as he looks at me with apologetic eyes.
"You have to trust them, too, Aiden. I made them so it'll be fine"
"They are not as advance as Doggie and I, they don't have feelings like us, Doggie knows how to be loyal and they all know how to be cunning and to manipulate. Doggie will protect my mom and my sister, and if not I'll stay here" I said as I heave. My hatred towards robots just increases as seconds pass by as I felt my face getting hotter and hotter.
"Dad, please..." I plead. Master. Luke flinch when I called him Dad. His eyes soften as he looks at me deeply. Master Luke and Lady Madeleine were the ones who saved me from the dark past, where I suffered my whole childhood.
"Alright, if that's what you want. I'll keep my mouth shut about this to the robots then. But are you sure Doggie can protect them as you said?" he doubts making me smile at him, assuring him.
"Of course, I AM the one who made him anyway, so everything will be fine, " my smile disappears as a teasing smirk replace my lips. He disheveled my blonde hair as he pats my hard shoulder.
"Alright I trust your judgment, Aiden," He said with a soft smile as he sighs loudly "You really should stop calling me 'Dad', and you know it's my weakest spot to you," He said.
"Yeah, it'll only just boost your ego for calling you 'Dad' " I said teasingly he gave me a look while he dismisses me soon after.
"That's all, you may go now. Go for a patrol or spend your teenage shit or whatever. Just get away from here," he said in fake annoyance as he waves his hand in 'shoo' motion. I bowed my head do the last time as I exited the room.
*Luke's POV*
5 minutes have passed since Aiden left my office. I made him off to somewhere, maybe patrolling or doing something good deed as I doubt myself if I should call my trusted man. Red Miller, we meet since high school and been best buds since then. He's also the one who introduced Madeleine to me. He's also the one who discovers Aiden. He took care of him a few months after we found him. He said that I am better at taking care of him since I already had Madeleine at that time, he insists me to take care of Aiden instead. Madeleine was, of course, ecstatic at the idea and agreed to him immediately. Aiden was like our first child, our first son.
And I am worried about what will happen to him once he knew what he really was. A sigh escapes through my parted lips as stress spreads in me. My headache worsens as I thought about it. I slump down to my swivel chair as I took out my phone from my back pocket. I look at the small device I personally made as its black screen shines, debating myself if I should call him or not.
I sigh again as I rethink...
/I really should call him/ I thought as I took the risk
"Call Red Miller" I ordered the phone.
"Calling Red Miller" It replies as it soon follows with familiar rings.
"Yes?" A deep voice said through the line, though he's hiding his annoyance, I knew he is annoyed.
I disturb his beauty sleeps
I remain quiet for a moment waiting for him to explode.
"Why are you quiet hmm? Cat got your tongue?" He said in annoyance.
"Meet up, Code: AS, at 4 p.m," I said with a serious tone, but believe me, I am shitting myself right now. There are only some people who I am really scared of, except for my mom, Him, and my wife. I knew him since forever and his project today got him really stressed. His sleep is important to him and if I ruined it, I'll be dead.
"Same day" he confirms
"Same day," I said. he hung up immediately making me sigh in relief. I'll buy just him some adult toys. I thought as I look through the Internet.
A text dings from my phone. I look at it to check who it was.
'Don't you ever try doing something ridiculous, that include buying me toys, you dumbass'
yep, he knows me well.
