I’ve just messaged her to see if she's there, saying sorry for my last text and telling her not to worry. I told her I was joking. Which I am, kind ...f.I look at my husband to see if he's going to answer the door but he's staying put. I get up from the sofa and tell him to his face that he's a lazy fucker, to which he responds that he's watching the football. What a twat he can be sometimes.I answer the door not knowing who to expect at this time of night. I just hope it’s not my mum, I’ve had. "Hisssss!" Ryo-Ohki sneered before getting yet another 'bonk'."Behave yourself!" Sasami scolded."She's really something!" Ben nodding wonderingly at Ryo-chan from some distance away"Shut your ass Ben!" The producer, slash director, comma 'man at the end of his rope' snapped in response, nervously glancing around."Were just lucky Lord Katsuhito doesn't know about all the crap that's gone on!" Wataru grumbled, despondently. "He might just have us all arrested!" Now you're overreacting!" Ben. After giving the tour (It's a small place) Dane says "Well, finish getting dressed!" Now I'm really embarrassed and I'm starting to shake from nerves as I'm buckling my belt. Dane sees this and puts his hands on my shoulders and then puts his arms around me, I return the hug as it feels nice to be held. He asks me if I like movies and if I have a VCR. I ask him what kind of movies he likes to which he replies all kinds. Ambiguous. I tell him I don't have a VCR and ask what he brought with. "No, this is her stepfather. You can deal with me." Another pause though this one was longer."Her mother is right here with me."Pause."Yeah, I got it. But can I talk to her, make sure she is okay? Wait, don't hang up, please, just let me talk to her." He held the receiver away from his ear, closing his eyes."What?" Clarissa asked. "What did they say?"Dan hit the off button on the phone. "They wanted to know if I had the money and then told me that they would call again later." He turned to look.
