to head out the door, wondering where the bathroom is. After about 20 minutes she eventually finds the bathroom. Catalina looks at the bathroom in awe. It’s beautiful gold rim around the pearly white walls, and the beautiful marvel floor, and the bath could fit a million people! Catalina sets her towels on the stand beside the bathtub and begins to undress. She plops down in the bathtub, and lays her back and stares out the window, seeing as though it’s pouring outside. Catalina cleans herself and washes her hair, gets out, wraps the towel around her and wrapping her hair in one as well. She walks back to her room, and puts on a long sleeve brown shirt and her school uniform skirt. She wonders around the house for awhile, seeing as though no one seems to be awake. She walks into Nicholi’s room and see’s him stretched out on his bed. Wrapped in his sapphire sheets, with his shirt unbuttoned down to the last button. She walks over to his bed and sits on the edge of it, admiring his beauty as he sleeps. Catalina looks out the window and then looks back at Nicholi too see him staring back at her. Catalina jumps up. “Oh my! I’m so sorry to barge in! I don’t know what I was doing!” Catalina says, startled. Nicholi sits up and smiles. “Don’t worry about it. If you wanted to watch me sleep all you had to do was ask.” Catalina blushes. “I wasn’t watching you sleep! I was… waiting patiently for you to wake up.” Nicholi laughs a little and gets out of bed. “Umm… is there anything in particular that you eat for breakfast?” Nicholi shakes his head. “Cain & Christian will eat just about anything and Lucciola doesn’t really eat so there’s no need to worry about him. Atticus and Gabriel will be out of the house for about a week or so, so the only people left are me, you and the twins to eat. So you can fix anything you’d like. Do me a favor? Go wake up the twins. Or else they won’t wake up until late afternoon.” Catalina nods and walks out, heading towards to twins room which is on the lower floor. Catalina walks down the stairs to the lower level of the house and opens about a million doors trying to find which one Cain and Christian are in. Christian walks out of the door to the 10th room down, with no shirt on and his hair all wet. “Well Good morning, love.” Christian said with a smile on his face. “There you are! I’ve been looking for you forever. I’m about to make breakfast.” Christian smiled and grabbed Catalina’s hand and headed upstairs. “What about Cain?” “He’ll wake up when he smells food. Otherwise, I can’t wake him up.” Christian walks up to the kitchen and sits at the table. Catalina goes over to the stove, taking out three pans. She grabs the pancake mix, and a couple of eggs from the refrigerator. Just as Catalina is about to pour the mix she hears the doorbell ring. “I’ll get it. You sit tight.” Catalina walks downstairs to the big double doors and opens them to see a girl with long light brow hair, dark red eyes that match her small over coat, and a white frilly skirt. “Hello. May I ask who you are?” Without saying a word the girl walked in, shoving Catalina to the side about to fall. The guy standing behind the girl catches Catalina. “My apologies for her. She doesn’t take kindly to other women. Especially in Nicholi’s house. May I ask who you are?” Catalina smiles as she catches her balance again. “I’m Catalina, the maid here. If you’re looking for Nicholi he should be in his room.” “Pardon us, I’m Salomon and that’s Lenore.” Lenore begins to walk upstairs and into Nicholi’s room. Catalina runs after her and opens the door. “Ms. Lenore you can’t just barge in here! I don’t think Nicholi wa-….” Just as Catalina was about to finish her sentence she see’s Lenore hugging Nicholi as tight as she can. “Oh.. I’m terribly sorry..” Nicholi stares at Catalina as she closes the door. She grabs her chest, feeling as though someone has ripped her heart out. She walks down the stairs, back to where Salomon is and she tries to smile at him. “Um.. Would you like some Tea?” Catalina says ash she walks into the kitchen. Salomon follows her. “Do you have any Earl Grey?” Catalina nods. “Christian do you mind going to the cellar and getting me some Earl Grey?” Christian looks at Salomon and makes his way down to the cellar. Salomon sits in a chair and watches Catalina. “So what are you doing here, exactly?” Catalina smiles, “I work here. As the maid.” Salomon rolls his eyes. “No surprise, Nicholi would stoop so low as to hire a maid to clean his messes.” “It doesn’t sound as if you’re too fond of Nicholi. Do you not like him?” Catalina says as she turns around to look at Salomon. “Precisely” Christian returns with the tea and Catalina starts to make it. “I’ll be back, love.” Christian said to Catalina. Catalina nods as Christian walks away. Catalina hands Salomon the tea and heads out the other way. “I’m sorry, Salomon but I have to tend to the garden. Make yourself at home.” Catalina smiles. “Wait, Catalina do you mind if I tag along with you? I’d rather not be in this house.” Salomon remarks as he stands up. “Of course not, you’re welcome to come.” Catalina heads out the door and around the back of the mansion to the Rose garden with Salomon tagging along with her. Catalina opens the gate to see millions of roses on bushes, trees, and on the ground. “Wow, I’ve never actually been in here before. It’s beautiful.” Catalina hands Salomon a water can and grabs one for herself. Salomon laughs. “What?” Catalina says as she giggles a little. “I’ve never watered flowers or plants for that matter before.” Catalina’s eyes widen and she laughs. “Oh my gosh, are you serious? I’ll show you.” Catalina pulls Salomon in close to the rose bush and grabs his hand to guide him. “Now you don’t want to pour too much, but you want to give them just the right amount or else, they’ll dry out or drown.” Catalina pours just enough water in the plant and Salomon smiles. “You’re really good at this.” Catalina blushes slightly. “My parents have a garden back at my house and my mom used to take me with her when we were little to water the flowers.” Catalina looks down as she finishes her sentence. Salomon looks at her. “What’s wrong?” Catalina shakes her head. “Oh nothing.” “Salomon!” Salomon hears Lenore’s voice and puts the can down and bows at Catalina. “It was a pleasure to meet you Catalina, but I must be going. I hope to see you again.” And within seconds Salomon is gone. Catalina smiles and walks around the garden, picking roses and she closes the gate. She walks back in the house and bumps into Nicholi. “Oh, I’m sorry.” Catalina doesn’t even look at Nicholi and she walks past him. Nicholi grabs her hand and looks at her. “Why won’t you look at me?” Catalina looks away and gets her hand loose and walks fast away. “I’m sorry, I’m just in a rush.” Catalina runs up to her bedroom and locks the door, sliding onto the floor against her door, breathing heavily. “Why can’t I look him in the eye anymore?” Catalina thinks aloud. Catalina stands up and puts the roses in a vase beside her bed and sits on the edge of it. “I hope I didn’t hurt his feelings. I should go apologize… But I can’t face him. It’s not like I’m in love with him or something, so why am I getting jealous over him hugging her..” Catalina shakes her head and opens the door. Cain smiles at Catalina as he’s walking up the steps. “Hey, Catalina.” “Hey, Cain. Have you seen Nicholi?” “Yeah he just walked out like 5 minutes ago. He looked a little more upset then he usually does.” Catalina sighs. “What happened?” Cain says as he sits on the steps. Catalina sits beside him. “I walked in on him and Lenore hugging.” “Ohhhhhhhh. I understand.” Cain says as he chuckles a little. “Who is she to him?” Catalina says pouting a little. “They’ve had history. A lot of it. But she’s always been in love with him but he doesn’t feel that way.” Catalina feels herself smiling a little. “I don’t know why but she seems familiar although I know I’ve never seen her before.” Catalina stands up, grabs an umbrella and opens the door. “Where are you going? It’s pouring rain outside. He’ll be back shortly.” But before Catalina could hear him, she was out the door. Catalina opened the umbrella and walked down the road, looking for Nicholi. She hugs herself, now realizing she should’ve grabbed a jacket. Catalina see’s Nicholi walking and she runs up to him. “Nicholi! I’m so sorry I was acting weird earlier. I didn’t mean it.” Nicholi turns around and looks at Catalina. “Why didn’t you stay at the house? I told Cain to keep you in there.” “Why? I came to look for you to apologize.” Nicholi pulls Catalina to his chest and holds her close. “Silly girl.” Catalina drops the umbrella and grasps onto Nicholi’s coat.
Chapter six


Catalina wakes up the next morning, heading down the steps and into the kitchen. She see’s a man sitting at the table with beautiful snow white hair and crimson red eyes. She walks over to the table and sits in the chair next to him. “Hello! I’m Catalina.” Catalina says with a smile on his face. The man gets up from the table and walks out as Christian walks in. Christian sits in the seat that the man was in and smiles at Catalina. “Don’t mind him. He’s just in a pissy mood because It’s his birthday. That’s Lucciola by the way. He gets that way every birthday. Oh hey, Catalina you don’t have to go and water the garden today since it’s snowing as heavy as it is at the moment.” Christian explains. “Why would anyone be in such a bad mood on their birthday?” Catalina says as she cups her face in her hands. Christian shrugs and yawns. Catalina thinks for awhile. “Christian will you help me? We’ll need Cain as well.” Catalina says with a big smile on her face.
“Of course, but with what?”
“I think what Lucciola needs is a birthday party! We’ll invite everyone you guys know.”
Christian laughs. “I don’t think he’ll like that but hell if it’ll make you happy, I’ll do it.”
Catalina smiles while Christian yells Cain’s name. Cain walks down and into the kitchen and stretches his arms out. “Yes?” Cain says as Christian looks at Catalina. Cain sits down across from Catalina and raises his eyebrows. Catalina pulls out two pieces of paper. On
