"Goddamn it, I'm begging you Lilith. Come! Hey! Stop that bullshit, Xenia." I was holding my laugh so hard inside the bus at Azee's suffering. Today, we don't have the same class schedule and he was tasked by his older sister to take care of his niece that I haven't met yet.
"B-But, I'm on my way to the Uni right now. Bro, I can't." A few laughs escaped my mouth while trying to sound convincing. A lot of people are looking at my way for turning red from holding my laughter.
"What the fuck? Try something a lot more convincing. Aww my fucking toe. I swear to God I will put this kid inside a fucking trash bag and throw it away." He winced in pain as I released my compressed laugh out.
"Fine, I will come right now. Geez, calm down Grandpa." I turned the call off and put my phone in my pocket.
"Mister! I'll get down here!" The moment the bus started to slow down, I've come down and walk across the street to ride a bus all the way to Azee's place. As soon as I got on one, my phone vibrated and Azee's name was flashed on my screen. I answered the call and waited for him to talk.
"Where are you now?" I can hear his frustrations over the phone.
"Chill, I'm on my way. Just got on the bus." I said while looking at the scenery outside.
"Alright, I'll be waiting. Aww, my fucking toe almost lost its freaking nail because of this brat. Go away." Azee complained, I even heard a cute little voice asking who's on the phone with him on the background.
"What exactly happen?" I asked in a curious voice.
"This brat just smash my toe using a glass cup and it fucking hurts like hell. I hate kids. You're a lot more tolerable than this one." He said in a voice full of annoyance.
"So, you're saying I'm like a fucking kid but a lot more tolerable?" I asked while raising my eyebrows even though he can't see it.
"Well, obviously?" He said in a matter of fact tone that made me gasp.
"Well, shit dude. You're on your own. Forget it. Hmmpp!" I said before ending the call. I will just tease him for a bit. After all it's payback for bullying me last week.
My phone vibrated almost immediately after I ended the call and like a bitch that I am. I decided to reject his call. I giggled heartily when I received a text saying sorry. He called me again and I rejected it the second time.
'Answer the phone, please? I'm sorry?'
'Lilith, please? Pretty please?'
I was trying hard to stop myself from smiling widely and decided to answer his third attempt on calling me.
"Lilith, come here. Please?" I kept my silence and let him talk.
"I'm sorry, Lady Lilith Verrlois. Milady, please come and provide me your undying assistance." I can hear the desperation in his voice in every word he said. I laughed soundlessly before clearing my throat.
"I will, humble servant." I try to sound like a noble lady before bursting into laughter.
"Hurray! I'll be waiting." He ended the call the moment I agreed. The audacity of this man.

The moment I've arrived at his front door and was about to knock on it, poor Azee immediately came out limping. He took my bag before pushing me inside the house. I laughed at his beat up expression.
"Hey, cheer up." I said pinching his left cheek.
"Yeah, whatever. She's on my room." He said after rolling his eyes at me. I stuck my tongue out at him before going upstairs, where his room is located.
"Uncle! Buy me a bicycle. Uncle!" I heard a cute voice shouting in there. I leaned forward the door frame and observed the little kid throwing tantrums on the bed. I can see the resemblance between Azee and this kid. I think she's around five or six years old.
"No! I told you ask your mom." Azee said as he entered the messy room. I looked around and saw a lot of broken glasses. From the mirrors to glass figurines. I knew immediately why he's desperate for the help.
"I want you. To buy it. Please, please?" She looked at Azee with puppy eyes which I think is so adorable before eyeing me.
"Who is she uncle?" The little girl got up from the bed and slowly approached me while hiding behind Azee's legs. I don't look scary, do I?
"She's uncle's best friend. Treat her well. She'll play with us the whole day." Azee said while patting his niece's head. The little girl looked up to me before raising her tiny arms in the air. Her pink eyes sparkles in excitement.
"Hi. I'm Lilith. What's your name?" I leaned down to match her height, her arms are still hung into the air.
"My name is Xenia. Up, Auntie." She said while flapping her arms like a bird. I picked her up from below. She kind of resembles Azee's face. They had the same way of staring and it seems like they both have the same hobby of playing with my hair. She started twirling it and gently tugging it.
"Hey, don't tug her hair." Azee warned while he was wearing a hoody. I looked at him with a bored expression. Fresh words coming from him, whose hobby seems like to do shits on my hair.
"Auntie's hair is so smooth. I want to nibble it." She said while clutching my hair into her tiny hands. I laughed nervously at her, yup. She takes up from her uncle.
"Shortie, let's go to your place. There's no way I'll sleep here with that mess. I'll just call room service or whatever to clean it up and you, Lil brat. Behave." He said before dragging us outside with two bags on one hand. My bag and his.
He locked the door before leaving the keys under the pot, he opened the gate and let us out. I am still carrying Xenia in my arms as we wait for a bus or something, I'm assuming. We've been standing there for like 10 minutes. Xenia keeps on touching my hair while Azee is tapping on his phone.
*Beep Beep*
I was in awe when I saw a black race car stopping in front of us. A male attendant gets out and offer the keys to Azee. He opened the front seat door and urges me to enter. I covered Xenia's head with my other hand as I slowly sat down. I also felt Azee covering my head until I sat down comfortably. He goes the other way before coming inside on the driver's seat.
"Take care of her mess. I'll be back tomorrow." He commanded the attendant. I looked at him with a visible confusion showing on my face.
"Yes, Young Master." He said bowing. I raised my eyebrows at Azee.
"Young Master?! Azee?" I said in bewilderment.
"What? Hey, Xenia. Move onto the backseat." He instructed.
"Nooo, I wanna be here in Auntie's lap." Azee sighed at Xenia's response. I looked at him straight in his face. What the heck? This is news!
"What? You want a kiss or something?" He said with a smug looking face. He was driving so I hold myself from hitting him.
"Yeah, I'll kiss you later." I said smiling. Mind you, a fake one.
"That's more like it." He said chuckling that made me roll my eyes up.
"Yes, kiss my fist, later baby." I said while glaring at him.
"Are you two gonna kiss? Like mom and dad, uncle?" Xenia asked innocently. I was about to deny it but then I heard Azee's response.
"Yeah, we are. Do you wanna watch?" He said laughing so hard.
"Eyes on the road bitc-- uncle." I said, changing the word bitch into uncle because there's a child.
"Fine... Are you curious why the attendant called me Young Master?" He asked as if it's not obvious.
"Well, obviously. What if you're the president's son or something. Should I call you master then?" I said sarcastically. He smirked at me.
"Call me, master again. It's turning me on." He said in a deep voice. I failed to stop myself from hitting him because of it. He can joke about his horniness when we're alone but not with the presence of a child, I swear to God.
"Aww! I'm fucking driving, dude. What the hell?" He said while rubbing his hurting arm with the other hand.
"Language! I'll strangle you gently dear." I said with a sweet smile plastered on my face.
"I'm sorry! You wanna know why I was called Young Master, right?" I simply nodded at his question and told him to continue.
"I am the son of a car company president, you're not wrong with the president thing that you've mentioned earlier." He said.
"Is that so? You don't look like a young master at all. More like a servant." I said laughing. He glared at me and that's when I realized that we've arrived at my place.
"Uncle, servant. Boo!" Xenia said while pointing him. I laughed out loud while clutching my stomach.
"He looks like a servant, right Xenia?" I said pointing Azee out. I laughed when Xenia almost immediately, agreed.
"Whatever freaks. Get out." He said as he walk out to our side and opened the door for us.
"Aww, how sweet." I teased. He glared at me sharply before rolling his eyes up.
"I'll get back at you for it." He said in gritted teeth.
"I'll be waiting." I winked.
