Stuck with him

Luna's POV A new day has dawned bringing with it new hope and aspirations. I forced my blurry eyes open and let out a yawn simultaneously. Just then, my stomach grumbled. I had slept yesterday on an empty stomach. If I continue like this, I was sure about dying anytime soon. I turned over to check up on Mark. Just as expected, he was still lying on the couch like a log of wood and snoring away.What kind of a human is this? I mustered the little strength I could gather and walked up to his couch ."Mark wake up" I called out, weakly. But there was no response. "Mark wake up" I called out again with a tap on his back. "Huh?" He replied, sleepily. "Please get me something to eat, I feel like I am going to pass out anytime soon" I whimpered. " Go get it yourself" He replied and returned back to his sleep. Is this who Mirabel calls her prince charming?This is the worst human ever. Ugh! just hate him. I have to get something to eat, I haven't ever starved like this before. I have always gotten whatever and anything I want at my beck and call. I can't join this human to live like a servant. I sauntered downstairs. Maybe, I can get something to eat before Dave wakes up. "Good morning Miss" Some humans dressed in uniform, chorused.This must be the maids. "Good morning" I forced a smile. Just then, i perceived some enticing aroma coming from the other end of the large foyer. I followed the aroma, sniffing around. My jaw dropped in awe as I behold a big table covered with different types of food. The foods looked strange and different from the ones we eat in our kingdom but who cares? I beckoned on one of the maids. "Are you guys hosting a party?" I asked staring at the food. " No ma" she chuckled. " The food is for the family" Family? "You can leave" I commanded and she hurried away. Since none of the so called family was around, I decided to help them out with the food. I quickly sat on one of the chairs. The spoons, forks and knives were already neatly arranged on the table just like in my kingdom. I quickly picked the spoon and pounced heavily on one of the plates of food. I don't know the name of the food but it tasted nice. "Uhm.. yummy" I exclaimed excitedly, moving on to the next plate. I love this feeling! I was about emptying the third plate when I suddenly heard a voice behind. "Who are you? " My eyes widened in shock as I almost choked.I quickly gulped down all the juice in one of the glass cups on the table. I turned back to behold a young man dressed in suit. He had a curly hair, brown eyes, broad shoulders, huge and handsome. "Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?" He repeated. I swallowed hard. I really don't know who he was but I wasn't going to let him intimidate me. " What am I doing here? Tsh. The question should be, who the hell are you? And what are you also doing here?" I fired, wearing a serious face. His jaw dropped in shock " What? Did you just ask me that?" "Yes I did" I sneered. " Mum. Mum." He called out. Mum? This must be Mark's step brother. Jeez! "What's wrong, ?" Sarah worriedly asked, rushing towards us. " Mum, you never told me that we now run a charity center where beggars can come and eat freely" Beggars? " Oh my goodness! What have you done to my dining table?" The step witch cried out, staring at the empty plates with horror. I prefer calling her witch because she acts like one. "I was hungry so I decided to eat" I chuckled, nervously. "Ewww. How could you think of sharing the same dining table with I and my son? Do we look like your class?" " No. You and your son looks like my maids in the kingdom" I muttered. "Did you say something?" " No" I forced a smile. " I am off to work mum. I have lost my appetite" Daniel intruded. " But.. "Don't worry mum. I will eat when I get to the office" "Okay..Good bye son" they both hugged briefly. " Because of you my son had to leave the house without eating. This must be Mark's doing. I am sure he sent you here to steal some food and bring to him" The step witch fired as soon as Daniel left. " Mark has nothing to do with this." "You don't have to support him dear. I wonder what you saw in that useless boy" she rolled her eyes. I stood to my feet. " Point of correction. Mark is not useless, you can use that adjective on your son" I growled and walked away before she could say anything. I hurried upstairs to our room, hoping that I don't get caught. I pushed open the door to our room and tiptoed in. "Please don't be awake Mark" I silently prayed. I slowly closed the door and turned back to behold the worst sight ever - Mark. He was standing there with his hands folded around his chest and staring at me with furrowed brows. "Jeez" I exclaimed and flinched back. "You scared me" "Where are you coming from?" He asked. "And why are you acting in a way that seems suspicious?" My heart almost missed a beat. " Suspicious? no.. I think you are mistaken" I scoffed. "Anyways, Good morning and how was your night?" " Don't divert the topic. Where are you coming from?" He insisted. Why is this guy so stubborn?. I am sure he will be mad if he finds out about what I just did. "What is all over your mouth?" He asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Huh? My mouth?" I repeated. I quickly brought my right hand to my mouth. My eyes widened in shock as my hand came in contact with some food particles on my mouth. Good gracious! "Did you go downstairs to beg food from those people?" Mark roared. " Huh? Beg?. I..I " " How could you stoop so low? Are you that cheap?" "Huh? Don't you dare try to make me feel like the bad person here. If you want me not to go to them, then give me some money" I snorted and he kept quiet. " Moreover, they are not just anybody. They are your family and I am only trying to help you enjoy what rightfully belongs to you since you are not interested" " Those people are not my family and I don't want you to have anything to do with them" " Then get me some money or do you expect me to stay hungry?" I fired. " I will gladly stay away from them if only you can start working" " No.. I don't want to work and It is none of your business" he snapped. " Oh now it is none of my business? Then I also think it is none of your business if I want to interact with your family" I sneered. " Phew! There is no point speaking with someone like you. It is just a total waste of time" He shook his head, walking out. " Don't you dare walk out on me. Why have you chosen to not work? Even your step brother has left for work already. What the hell is wrong with you?" I half yelled walking after him. " The only reason I am still letting you stay with me is because of the bodyguard contract of one year that I signed with you" He hollered and slammed the door on my face before walking away. "Hey, are you threatening me?. Come back here jerk" What kind of a human is this?. He is so useless.
