Woah ! He gasped.
That was amazing ! How did you do that?? I shrugged I played this game before, I told him.
Then, I went into the save file and deleted everything I had just done.
Why would you do that?! I raised a brow at him.
I thought youd be a fair player and want to beat the level on your own, I told him, mockingly.
He scowled.
Ive been trying to beat that level all day ! He huffed.
I shrugged.
I could show you how to do it, I told him.
But first, you need to get your homework done.
According to Adam, you have a lot of it.
It was at that moment I realized that Adam had left the room.
It didnt matter though ; I didnt need him in here for this.
Matt scowled at me, and I just stood in front of him casually not wavering.
Thats my condition, I added with finality.
He glanced at the tablet still in my hands.
You promise youll help me? I nodded.
I never break my promises.
Especially when it comes to video games, I told him.
He sighed and then he nodded.
Okay, lets do my homework.
I motioned for his backpack in the comer of the room.
Grab that and meet me downstairs in the parlor, I told him, turning and walking out of his room.
I didnt bother waiting for him or seeking Adam out.
I just made my way down the stairs and into the front parlor.
The parlor reminded me of a luxury hotel lobby ; it had large floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens outside and gave way to plenty of natural lighting.
I sat on the couch and waited for Matt to join me.
He didnt take too long to grab his backpack and walk into the parlor.
He sat beside me on the couch and pulled out a ton of papers, books, and writing utensils.
I smiled Lets get started, I stated.
For the next couple of hours, we completed each of his homework assignments and got a little studying done.
I was amazed at the amount of work they assigned a 7 year old, but I suppose its a little different for werewolf students As the sun set a maid walked into the parlor with a faint smile as she looked down at Matt.
The cooks have prepared your supper, Master Matthew, he said to him.
You can come to the kitchen : whenever you are ready.
Matt pouted and then looked up at me.
Can you join me for dinner? He asked.
I was surprised by the dinner request and my brows shot upward to my hairline.
You want to have dinner with me? I asked.
Theres plenty of food for you as well, Madam, the maid added, a wide grin on her face, I looked back at Matt for confirmation, and he looked so small and almost nervous at that moment.
I wondered what it was about.
My dad is never home for dinner and my sister hasnt bee home since she started dating that Ethan guy, Matt confessed.
Sometimes Butler Adam will eat with me, but not always.
I get lonely … My heart tugged for the child, and I put my hand on his shoulder, reassuringly.
I would love to have dinner with you, Matt, I told him.
Then afterward, we can play that game, and Ill show you how to beat that level.
He beamed at my promise and jumped to his feet.
Come on ! He said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the kitchen.
The dining table was set up for only Matt and it made me sad to see the lonely sight.
The maid quickly walked in behind us and set another place for me, giving me a sheepish smile.
I sat at the table beside Matt as the maid poured us some juice before serving the meal.
It w t was a delicious stew ; I hadnt realized how hungry I was until it was right in front of me.
My stomach was growling by the time I had my first bite of the food.
While we ate, I listened to Matt talk about school, his interests, and about some of the friends he has.
I had to admit that I enjoyed spending time with the little gay.
He seemed pleased to have me there keeping him company and I enjoyed that I could do that for him.
After our meal, I offered to clean the table and dishes, but the maids insisted on doing it for us.
Its their job, Matt explained.
That doesnt mean we cant be helpful, I told him.
He shrugged.
Can we play the game now? He asked, bouncing in his seat.
I smiled at him.
Yes, I did promise you that we would, I told him.
He eagerly jumped out of his seat and ran into the parlor where I left his tablet on the coffee table.
I followed after him.
