My Lonely Duke

50 Shades gone wrong

Xander POV 

Sometimes I can’t believe my luck with women, I mean its like I am blessed with a charm. I feel bad for Sammy sometimes but it was his punishment for abandoning me with the ghostbusters. They don’t seem crazy but their stories do. I think I have to be brave now and take this job seriously. 

I have picked the book last night for my landlady and I hope she likes it. I also wish that she didn’t notice that her stock has gone down. 

I open the door and its still 4 am so I know that no one would be up. I don’t know if I am drunk but the house looks much cleaner from somedays. I quietly moves towards my Landlady’s room and put the book on the table. Her room is really warmer compared to other rooms. 

From close look, she doesn’t look so old, there are no wrinkles on her skin and it seems really clear. 

My face is really close to her when both of her eyes open. I know I am in deep s**t just by the look on her face. I take one step backward than another, and turn around. Hoping she doesn’t has that much energy as she has just woken up I am about to run for my life, when he stick lands on the collar of my jacket. 

“What the hell you are doing in my room, you rat” she says with a scowl on her face. 

I bend down losing her stick from my collar and run towards the hall but she is really fast even at this time of the day. 

“Dude I don’t know how you are so active at 4 am”  I say in a rushed voice.

“I get my energy from the souls of your kind” she says with an evil grin 

She bend down and I don’t know what she is doing so I bend down to see too when I get hit by one of the flip flops over my head 

“Ouch, woman, that’s enough” I say

“How dare you pathetic little creature talk to me like that” I guess I have raised her anger to several levels now. 

“What is going on” Here comes Troy “why is there so noise at this time of day or night whatever” he looks annoyed. 

Yeah annoyed, not sleepy or tired, just annoyed. Sometimes I am scared by the people living in this house more than the vampires I am chasing out. 

“Oh Troy” she quickly moves towards him before I could even make my case. 

“I don’t know if you checked his background before giving him our sacred house to rent” she says with a totally different tone now. I am standing there stunned, my legs frozen.

What has she came up with this time 

“What happened Grandma” he says with a calmed tone 

“He is a pervert troy, I saw him near my face when I woke up and I found this kept on my desk which I know he had put there” my mouth is open wide with this accusation

Troy takes the book in his hand and I face palm myself

“What is this book?” He asks to me and to her 

“It is a book for perverts like him Troy, please I think we should thrown him out as soon as possible” she says in a really convincing tone 

“50 shades…” he reads and opens the book to a random page 

From the horrified look on his face, I am now regretting bringing that book for my landlady but who could blame me she has a whip.

“Please don’t listen to her Troy, let me explain” I start with the groveling 

But I see that Troy is busy reading the book now. That makes me chuckle and my Landlady gives me a scary look. 

“You were having whip in the house” I whisper to her maintaining enough distance between us. 

“That’s none of your business” she huffs 

It looks like something strikes her at that moment and she gives me a suspicious look

“Did you go through my stuff yesterday?” She questions. Both of us whispering. 

I bite my tongue.

Stupid me, why I have to bring it up

I shake my head no, as innocently as I can. 

“Those were numbered and each had a name on it” she lets out a frustrated sign and moves towards the kitchen.

With Troy busy with the book and her moving to the kitchen. I feel like staying in the home is not a good idea. 

I quickly make my ways towards the door, with tonight on my mind.

Yeah, tonight, I would be catching an actual Vampire

I am finally going to get paid.
