Chapter Three-
Being near winter, Toryn was still up and cleaning when the phone started ringing at seven-thirty the next morning.
"Hello, Miss Haven's Residence." He answered.
"Uh This is Kali. Is she up yet?" Before he could answer he heard her gasp and then giggle, "Are you her boyfriend?"
"No, miss. I am the cleaner man. No she is not up yet and I can't find her anywhere." He replied.
"Oh, I understand. Well, when she gets up tell her Kali will be over with her homework later. Izzy too." She then hung up.
'I'll leave a note on the counter.' He thought, and did just that before heading to his room.
Sin turned in the bed and glanced at the clock, it read eleven-thirty. Groaning she got up, made her father's bed, and then headed out to the kitchen. Looking around the empty room, she saw a note on the kitchen counter.
'Sindra,
A girl, Kali I think, called. She told me to tell you that she will be over late with homework and Izzy. I think.
Also notice all chores are done. Breakfast is in the microwave. No more skipping School!
Toryn.'
'Crazy guy.' She thought to herself as she heated up her microwave. Only wearing sweats and a tank, she sat and ate the omelet he had made her. "He did cook this pretty good" She admitted out loud to herself. When she looked around, she noticed he wasn't around. "He must be asleep now."
Four in the afternoon, two books finished, and she was going mental. Toryn had not appeared at all and it was already dark outside.
Sin was staring to wonder when Kali's voice was heard in the main hall's living room. She was screaming. Sin jumped up and ran quickly to her.
When she arrived, she found Toryn, only wearing jeans, no top, on the floor holding his hands over his ears while Kali was gapping at him and Izzy was totally shocked. IT didn't help when Sindra came down wearing a pair of boxers, which she received for her birthday as a joke, and a baggy T-shirt.
"What is going on?" Sindra questioned.
"He's half naked, Sin, and you are not exactly dressed. You didn't! Did you?" Izzy questioned, a shocked look on his face.
"What are you talking about?" Sin inquired as she watched Toryn stand up and back away slightly.
"Well, Miss Sindra, you and I are half dressed and they were thinking we-"
"Don't finish that sentence! Toryn get dressed and back to work." She snapped realizing the point. As she left with a chuckle, she glared at Kali and Izzy.
"If you notice, Izzy, Kali, these are the boxers you got me for my birthday. Plus do you really think so low of me to skip school to sleep with a perverted, self-righteous, arrogant pain in the bum?"
"Well it looked suspicious" Izzy muttered lamely. Sindra sighed and moved into the Kitchen.
"We apologize, Sin, but who is he exactly?" Izzy asked.
"Well that is easy A sexy, well built, Sex-god!" Kali laughed.
"Kali must have one thing on her mind." Izzy teased.
"Hey!" She smacked his arm.
"Well, Toryn, is my present from my mother." She spit that title out as if it were a disease. "He is my butler/cook and maid." Sindra laughed as it dawned on her two friends.
"Why is he walking around half naked? Not that I mind of course." Kali grinned.
"Don't know. He must have just woken up."
"Oh well, I wouldn't mind seeing more-"
"Kali!"
"At least someone find me uber sexy." Everyone turned toward the door to see a mischievous Toryn.
"Hey Mr. Maid." Izzy laughed.
"Cleaner man!" Toryn huffed. "Why can't anyone get it right?" He asked, mainly to himself.
"'Cause it annoys you." Sin replied, wispily.
"Any how lucky you, Sin. No homework today. Also last day because of vacation. Sure you don't want to join me or Izzy Thursday?" Kali asked.
"Nope. I want to stay home. Thanks for the offer though." Sindra replied, a ghost of a smile on her face.
"Sin, did you sleep in there again?" Kali asked quietly. Sindra nodded softly closing her eyes.
"Honey, are you going to be okay?" Kali offered.
"Of course, remember my name? Sin. Sloth is a sin." Sin tried to make her laugh but it didn't work.
"What caused it this time?" Izzy inquired.
"Mom called."
Toryn stood at the wall listening, drinking all the information, he just didn't quite understand it all.
"Why do you still keep the room the same Sin?" Izzy asked.
"Memories, I guess," Sin choked out but no one noticed, "I couldn't bear moving any of my dad's things."
Toryn could help but feel sorry for Sindra. The cold heated woman had a past and a wounded heart, a weakness.
"I'm sorry, Sin. I shouldn't of said anything."
"Its fine."
"The question is what will happen next..."
