Pros and Cons

Zelda

"Thou shalt not forget to eat." Edie snorts into the phone as she mocks me and my brand-new rules.

I don't blame her. There are a lot. Like a bazillion. The list of rules and regulations I have to follow is bigger than their cocks. And believe me when I tell you, that's a rather impressive feat.

My groan of acceptance makes it through the phone because my bestie just laughs harder at my sorry ass.

I can't help but blame myself. When we discussed all the rules, I was given the option to veto any that I absolutely didn't agree with—as long as I had a valid reason for it.

And seeing as I'd been implementing the whole 'Zelda can be a big girl' thing before my kitchen went up in flames, I had no valid reasons for not eating correctly or ensuring I got fresh air at least once daily.

Those rules are easy; I'm already following them. The other ones are a little harder to get used to.

Even though they'd already said I needed to work less when I agreed to stay with them, I have to cut down on working hours more—not so much that it will hurt my bottom line, but enough so I have more time for myself and, ultimately, them.

It makes sense. I work way too much. I take on too many clients and promise everyone things they don't need. And I only do it because I can only spend so much time reading or binge-watching Queer Eye.

I also need to like… talk to them. About my feelings and stuffs. I know they think I'm all awesomesauce, even if I don't quite understand why, but I don't know how they think I'll be able to just suddenly open up and be honest about what's going on in my head.

Edie's voice cackles at me through the speaker on my phone from the kitchen counter, where I've put it so I have both hands to deal with the hot plate and the microwave door. Kaz left instructions on how to heat the pre-made lunch on the stove, but I'm not quite brave enough to slay that particular dragon quite yet. One toasted kitchen is enough for any girl.

"So... are you going to be hopping onto those pogo sticks any time soon, or will you leave me hanging in suspense forever?"

I can't help but giggle at her reference to their impressive, yummy tools. "It's a ride I'm eager to get on, and soon. But I need to get a handle on all these rules first, and we haven't had a limits talk yet." Taking a steadying breath, I run my fingers through my messy hair as I try to figure out how to put into words what's bothering me. "Like Edie... What if they wanna do things that give me the icks?"

"Oh, you silly goose," she scolds me. "If they have kinks you're not into, that give you the icks... then they're probably not meant for you, are they?"

My foot stomps down on the kitchen floor as I cross my arms in front of myself.
