Age before Beauty

"Well, after the I found out about the barbies, I tried to let her down gently. Sadly, women like that are obsessive. I was glad when The barbies got her, As horrible as it sounds." Nosho chuckled. "But it was neat."

Lilla laughed. "You are just bad about getting crazy women. Try a dating site. Or speed date. I even know a fun bar you could try."

"Been there. Done all three. I was married once." Nosho stated. "Once, before I met you. Then she died. And I started Working with the P.B.S. Interdimentional. Then I became a professional Nanny starting with you, And I haven't dated since. Well, seriously dated. Women just hold no interest to me anymore"

Lilla quirked a brow. "Maybe you're gay. If so I know another great bar to try. Not to mention some of Ulrich's friends." She giggled. Half joking with him. Wanting to see Nosho's reaction.

"I'm not gay." Nosho replied firmly. "I like Boobies. And women's soft skin and all that jazz. What I Ment was that I have yet to find a woman that I'm attracted to again. You take me too literally child."

Lilla stuck her tongue out at him. "I was just trying to help. Just don't call me a child. You should know by now i'm not a child anymore."

"Why should I know?" Nosho countered "You still act like one most of the time. Besides that, compared to me, you are a child. You're what, 200 years old?" he asked "I'm over 700"

Lilla stuck her tongue out at him. "I dated a guy in his late 500's. Maybe older if he was dumb enough to lie about it to my dad. Age is a bit useless with some people."

"With age comes wisdom." Nosho chuckled. "It all depends on how you use it. Most men don't use it wisely. I, however, have been alive long enough to correctly use my wisdom to my advantage."

Lilla giggled. "Well women take less time to figure it out. We learn faster." She smiled sweetly.

"Well doesn't that make you the smart one." Nosho teased. "Why do you want me for your birthday anyway? You never said."

Lilla shrugged. "Well you wont die on me. You can be helpful. Not to mention when Vincent retires I wont be stuck alone when I shop." She smiled. "I sadly never got into the whole groove of making friends. I just couldn't find anyone worth talking to."

"That would be because most little girls enjoy dolls and tea parties not blood and maiming." Nosho mumbled. He watched the mansion grow larger as they neared it. "Think your dad remembers me?"

Lilla smiled brightly. "He does. He likes to keep your kidney on the desk while he fills out forms to fire people. He'll shake it if he gets stumped on thinking up a reason to fire people."

"Why? Why does he like it at all?" Nosho gaped "Its one of my organs!"

Lilla stared at him. "You know daddy. He's a mean old man with a sick sense of humor. Plus he thinks it looks funny. I guess everyone has a good chance at being childish."

"I guess." Nosho grumbled. "You really think he'd give it up?" He asked tenitively

"If I ask nicely enough and tell him I want it for my birthday. Plus i'll get him a fish. It will dye and he can buy new ones. More fun for him and I get you! Everyone's happy." She stopped infront of the manson and clicked off the car. Bouncing out and down the sidewalk happily.

Nosho didn't reply right away. He got out of the car and followed her inside. "If you say so" He finally sighed. "Just make sure to ask him not to rip me apart again. It really hurts and the only reason I let him before was so he didn't destroy everything."

Lilla nodded. "He's actually been a lot better. Simon made him go through anger management. He even moved in to make sure daddy stayed calm." She winked. Hoping Nosho understood the situation some.

"So your father admits he's gay? Or he just keeps his lover here claiming he's just a friend?" Nosho chuckled "Or is Simon just his sexual frustration outlet."

"I'm thinking the last two. Dad would die before admiting it. Or at least Simon would have to divorce his wife first. Whcih may not happen." She shook her head. Knowing her father's little problems would bring the wrath of a fairly scary woman.

"Nice. So, If I do get the attic, does that mean I have to move back in?" Nosho asked "Or do I keep my place and have to come back at a designated time every day?"

Lilla shrugged. "I'd like it if you moved in. You don't even have to take the attic. We have a huge ammount of guest rooms. You can go back to your place if you want though. I'd think it'd be easer to move in."

Nosho shrugged. "I just wanted to know what you expected of me. I didn't know what you wanted. You did kind of spring this all on me"
