Morning affairs

The maids wake up early, too damn early for Gus anyways. While prison life was being corralled by the officer's schedules, Aurelie is the queen of this house, and how it operates. Sadly the prison life of being up at six in morning sharp was too damn ingrained.

"I guess I'll get ready and so something she does." You mutter through a manly yawn, stretching your arms until you feel them pop and relax, something Aurelie never does, but this body somehow just needed it.

"Damn. I forgot i put this silk nightgown on, she's hella pretty, might be worth it to stick around like this."

You think as you instinctively pour a very generous glass of wine.

"Hell, if she were to walk down my old street, I would have definitely escorted her out of it, hell we all would have."

You whisper as you approach the mirror, watching her piercing deep blue eyes, and, beautiful hair fall perfectly down her face. Her body, while older, was still in pristine shape, no sagging, nothing!

"Forget being just a fucking ten outta ten! This woman could still pass for a college girl with the right setup!"

You say, placing the glass down, before taking a drink and indulging in her looks. "Yeah..... A little work on the eyes and smile a bit more, she'd be a knock out. Maybe time for a little make over?"

You say, having her beautiful smile entice you, until her mind, begins to organize the day. "The girls are attending school today. So I'll have time to inspect the gardens, ask Howard if he needs anything for the house, I can meet my husband around one in the afternoon. Husband?" Your mind catches, the idea of meeting this so called Derrick guy.

You close your eyes and lean back, trying to recall everything about him, if he's handing you money, you might need to ask for a little more, or learn how to weasel some out of him. Gus begins to watch and learn everything about him, but it's very disappointing, Derrick, for every little dime and nickel, isn't around a lot. He tends to spend more money on connections, bad ideas of his, gambling, and, worst of all to Gus, women.

Not Aurelie, not even the girls, no, he goes out to find women and brings them in the house. Even some of the maids have slept with him, not even for extra cash, they just do it to spite you. Something Aurelie has been avoiding by drinking herself to ****, it strikes a cord with you, but you can't quite tell why.

Derrick is the kind of idiot you know, you know his kind very well, the so called "Smart idiot". They're schemers, watchers, and, worst of swindlers. You know you could been out of the joint, hell you could have avoided it all, but the smart idiot got you in there, sadly he was also the guy who could have got you out. Your old boss was sure to toss him out with a rope and concrete feet, and on day of the court, he was found in the local lake, exactly like how it was told.

The only difference being Derrick married into money by rich people rules, not love or anything, but your parents were good friends and swore on it. Sadly out of all your sisters it was chosen to be you, they handed you money, but you don't take it. "Old pride" she calls it. The fact that she inherited the whole damn family name, the failing family business; the dying piece of crap was just a bad hand. Sadly Aurelie didn't even know the deck was loaded from the start, even now she's thinking it's fine. The business died years ago, sold everything off by Derrick's orders, he started his own plans, and, those failed.

So he started networking, which does pull in some money, but it's mostly to marry his daughters into money, sadly Anastasia is intimating to most men, she's too damn stoic, Fiona is an utter bitch, and, Cordelia is his little pet project. If it's any indications of how this is going to work, then Aurelie already resigned to his rule. "Fucking hell this smart idiot is running this house into the ground! This damn broad is too fucking stuck in her ways to even do anything about it!" The crisis is pretty clear, but thankfully Gus, is a good guy when it comes to money, and this whole experience has made him even more receptive to the idea of "acting."

"Good morning mother! I see you're awake early today!" Anastasia, with her bright and warming smile greets you. It warms your heart to see her being so responsive. She's very pretty, like her mother, all of your daughters are beautiful, you think, but that's for later. Now you need to discuss business with her, or rather the money situation, since Doc might actually have some good ideas.

"Anastasia dear, walk with me to the gardens. I want to speak in private with you." You say leading her away from the hallway and down the stairs caring on the mundane ongoings of the house, with the rumors of the upper echelons of society, until the two of you are wondering the gardens.

"Gus? Are you having fun?" The first thing he asks, almost elated by your silence to the question.

"Yeah. I'm enjoying this lady." You admit, no point in hiding it, he's also having fun from the looks of it all. "She's got a lot of problems, but it's nothing I can't handle." You tell him with that classic Gus gusto.

"Oh? Dear me! I was planning on moving on to the upper parts of the social ladder, but if our leader wants to stay, I see no reason to argue." He says with his classic mad doctor laugh, it used to be horrifying to hear, but it's somehow adorable to see it from Anastasia.

"Well anyways, we have problems to fix, since we're laying low here, we're gonna need to fix this place up." You tell him sitting on the rock, resuming the regular prison guy sit. Making Aurelie look ridiculous, having the body language of a guy who did hard time in the most elegant and graceful of way. It's humorous when you think about it.

"Ah, you mean the father problem? The maids were speaking about how he offered some of them an extra pay raise if he got to have one of them suck him off under the table when he speaks with you." He replies, pulling out a notebook and taking down more notes, almost absorbed by the conversation, he writes a few things down, pressing it to his lips, then closes it, before sitting across from you. "I know Anastasia is planning to jump ship before she gets married off, while Fiona is just trying to get baby locked, Cordelia is his last hope. If this wedding doesn't go as planned that is!" He says, tapping the pen and notebook together and he places them back into her bra. "The problem is our family as a whole knows about him and his eccentricities, however because of the "old way", we can't just out him, we'd be screwed out of the money, what is left of it." Anastasia, makes eye contact with you as you sigh.

"So the rich bitch isn't really rich, just puffing up like hot balloon." This is low blow, you had stuck gold with the pen, but with the old money's almost gone and wasted, you might as well steal it all and collapse this place. Save them the trouble of watching it burn. "I guess we got to find better people then."

"Perhaps, however I do think we have an advantage in these kind of things, as we all know the workings and pay of more "secretive work"." Doc begins with hand quotes, smiling at you again with Anastasia's alluring eyes and smile, makes it hard to say no, but he's right, you guys can do that, you know how to work and sell ****, you know the people to pick, even in high society, they get some of the best stuff around. Even Aurelie, who never partook in any of the **** offered at parties knows about it, but is that what you want to do? Make a **** family? Pull them up from the bottom by using what you know? Or help them by using what you know to save them from the stupid ass Derrick?

"Fuck man, I don't even want to begin to think about what is going to happen if we get caught again." You say, scratching your balls, or your cootch, you stand up, turn to Doc. "All right I'll think about it, but give me a bit, I'll give you answer after I talk with Derrick, got it?" You tell him resuming Aurelie's elegance once more, as he resumes Anastasia's.

"Of course mother! Also, if possible might we clean out the unused rooms and basement? They are in need of attention, and would love to have another quiet study!" She asks you, innocently asking for Doc's "Work space".

"I'll see to it dear, please be enjoy your school say Ana." You tell her as Doc nods and leaves.

"Now that I've got Doc's input, I should tell the gang after this rich ass fucker shows up what he wants to do. Might need to change faces or change directions."

You think as you walk deeper into the gardens.
