Welcome to Gaia! ::

"NO! I ddd not buy this! Would you bozo's listen to me already?!" Ren stood there hand on hip gesturing wildly to the cheap looking water bed.

"Look lady, we just deliver the items, and it says right here that you ordered it, so if you wouldn't mind moving we'll take it off the truck for yah." The bald workman spoke down to her over his beer-belly while glancing at his clipboard every now and again. he sneered at her when he noticed she was actually getting pretty pissed. 'Damn, she may be a b***h but she aint too bad to look at!' A perverted grin appeaered on his face.

"No! I ordered 2 couches, 3 beds, 3 dressers, 5 night stands, 7shelves, and 20 bookcases! I'm telling you right now, most of that s**t back there is mine, if you'd let me on teh truck I could tell you what's mine!"

"Do you have your receipt?"

Ren mummbled something.

"What was that miss?"

"I said I lost it!"

"Well I'm sorry, but if you don't ahve a receipt, then we go by what's on the chart. And that waterbed is what's on the chart."

'He is SO dead! I'm going to slowly roast him over the fire and then tortuurously kill him. I'll make it last for hours, possibly even days!' Ren grinned maliciously as she fumed at him.

Ren's eyes widened as she listened to Halcyon speak, but she quickly regained her fierce composure. "I do believe sir, that it would be in your best interest to let me into the truck to tell you what is and is not" at this word she lowered her head and glared at the man," mine."

"Uh, uhm," the man stuttered, beads of sweat could eb sen forming on his brow," yes ma'am, right th-this way please!" He glanced at Halcyon in fright and quickly lowered his hand to help the woman up.

Ren looked at the man's hand then pointedly looked up into the truck, clambering up on her own. She strolled through the aisles of furniture, every now and again saying "this one here's mine" or "who in their right mind would by something that gaudy?!"

When the men had unloaded the truck of all her items and left she turned around toward Halcyon. "It seems you've saved me yet again. Thankyou. I think it's probably be best to leave the furniture here for now. The rooms need to get painted before they can go in anyway." She walked over to her hummer and lifted out a few pails of paint. "Just put all the paint where I put these first cans. Then I'll put the right colors in the right rooms to be painted." Ren walked into teh house but stopped immediately. She looked down to her daughter who was staring very angrily up at her.

"Momma. Lucy hungry. Food!"

Ren smirked at her daughter, "One second sweetie, k? We need to get the paint in the house first. The pizza should be here any minute." She smiled at her then proceded to put the paint buckets in the walkway leading to the different rooms of the house.

Ren's eyes bulged and she nearly fainted at the site of the man in her kitchen plus the site of his son. 'The boy's pretty sute, but damn! His dad is gorgeous! What I wouldn't give to .... ugh! Dirty thoughts!' Ren grew pale and stared at the man's chest.

She shook herself as the doorbell rang. 'Thank god!' "Uhm if you gentlemen will excuse me I'll go get the pizza!" She ran off pulling the money out of her pocket as she went.

"Here's your pizza ma'am."


"Thanks, keep the change!" She shut the door in the boy's face and leaned her back against it with a puff of air. She sighed and gazed up at the cieling. 'I've got to calm down...but he's so hot!' SHe made a face and let out a quiet wail. Walking back tot he kitchen she forgot about the step into it and tripped over her feet as the pizzas went flying.

-While Ren get's the pizza-

Lucy gazed questioningly up at the two men and then lifted her own shirt and peered at herself. "How come Lucy looks different than Halcyon and his papa?"

Ren fell forward grappling for air as she tripped. It was a wonder she didn't do more after hearing Cordain say that. SHe landed on her forhead and began to grown. Picking up her ehad she rubbed it with ehr palm and opened her eyes to peer at the other men. Her cheeks were quickly reddening. 'Oh wouldn't I just love to go out with him sometime!'

"Rather than have my daughter do it, why don't you ask me out yourself?" She questioned him as she pulled herself to her feet. Miracuosuly the pizzas were still unharmed. "Lucy sweetie, I've got your food. Oh and Cordain, there's plenty here if you would like to eat some." She set the boxes on the counter and proceeded to pul out four plates, piling four pieces of mushrooms and black olives on one, and 2 slice of extra cheese on another. She went to the table and sat down as Lucy sat in the chair next to her. "I may have food, but I ain't servin' yah if you're not related." She jokingly stuck her tongue out at Cordain and Halcyon.

Ren was mezmerized by the color of the man's eyes, they were nothing like her light grey ones. SHe sat there gazing at him. "Uhm, well...y-y-yes, I would love to go out with you sometime."She began off saying this nervously but soon she was speaking normally. She quickly kissed him on teh cheek then turned around and looked at her food. As she stared down at it she began to speak to him again.

"Thankyou very much for offering to help. I don't think I'd ever be able to get any work done with Lucy here. I mean I know we still have 5 rooms to paint, but I just wanted to thankyou ahead of times, becuase you know it's rude not to thank someone when they're helping you." She broke off from continueing when she realized she was rambling again. 'I can't believe I just did that. There's no way I could ahve done something like that so soon after what he did. Just goes to show I'm too trusting of people.' Ren sighed and picked at her pizza.

Ren startled a bit. "I won't break your trust, I promise." She picked up all of the empty plates and walked down the hall. She placed all of the paint cans in the correct rooms and shouted downt he hall to the others. "I need to change, I really don't want to get any paint on this! Lucy, since you already have paint on you, you don't need to change!"

She walked into the last room on the left and stripped down. While walking over to her closet she began to hum.

-10 minutes later-

"Alright everybody! Pick a room - or in Lucy's case a person - and let's get painting!" Ren wore a pair of tight , light colored denim shorts, and a white tank top, nothing else. She walked over to the room next to hers and prononced that she'd "be painting Lucy's room!"

Lucy gazed after her mother then made up her mind. "Lucy paints with Halcyon," she said with a nod and a determined glare.

Ren threw back her head and laughed melodically. "Yeah tehy do look pretty damn good," she spoke to him with a gleam in her eye. She turned around and bent over picking up the paint can, she poured some into the tray then picked up two rollers. She threw one over to Cordain, then bent over again while putting the top back onto the paint.

Lucy picked up the roller and put it into the paint, imitating what she saw Halcyon doing. "Lucy's momma likes your papa you know." She continued painting the side of the wall, reaching as far up as she could she was barely able to barely reach a third of the way up the wall.

"Yes, Halcyon's papa is funny looking! So Lucy likes!" Lucy cheerily continued to paint.

Ren shot up and quickly whirled around. An evil thought crossed her mind and she dipped her rolling pin in the paint. She very carefully snook up on Cordain and rolled the dripping roller from the top of his head to the balls of his feet. She quickly dipped it againa nd proceeded to paint the walls.
