Spencer had made sure everything was ready for the movie night Mack had planned with his friends. The old butler was in the small kitchen area, bags of popcorn laid out on the island table. One bag was in the microwave, popping kernels attracting the attention of his employer.
Andrew followed the smell, finding the older man readying another bag for the microwave, "Spencer! What are you doing?"
"Sir!" The butler smiled, "Master Will requested popcorn for their movie viewing."
"Oh." The billionaire nodded, "What are they watching?"
The microwave beeped, and Spencer waited only a few seconds before opening the microwave door, and placing another bag in the center. He opened the steaming bag, pouring its contents into one of the large bowls set out on the counter. "They haven't decided yet. Last I checked Master Dax was still picking out a movie he hasn't seen."
Andrew nodded, leaning against the wall, "Well that shouldn't take too--" He paused, slowly easing off the wall, "Do we know how many movies Dax has seen?"
Spencer halted just short of reaching the microwave. Two seconds passed before it began to beep again, Spencer's hand abruptly stopping it. The bag let out three more pops from kernels before silencing. "I'm not certain, sir. I would assume a lot would suffice."
He opened the bag, releasing the popcorn into the same bowl. Another bag was already in the microwave, kernels popping away. With one bowl nearly full, Spencer moved it off to the side, the second bowl ready. "If all else fails, they could always watch one from Mack's collection."
Andrew frowned, "I don't know, Gundam is a bit..."
"It's giant robots, sir. A respectable genre if I may say so." The microwave beeped again, and Spencer quickly switched the plump bag with an uncooked one. He opened it, letting the popcorn spill into the second bowl.
The billionaire shifted on his feet, the sound of the microwave slowly grating on his nerves. "Of all the things to get interested in..."
Spencer paused, salt in hand, "Sir, there's nothing wrong for a young man to like something that. Don't stress over it." He resumed, pouring salt over the first bowl, following with melted butter. He resumed, pouring salt over the first bowl, following with melted butter. He glanced at the microwave, only making a move towards it a second before the timer finished.
He opened the microwave, the final batch of popcorn filling up the second bowl. Picking up both, he smiled, "I'm willing to wager they have already decided on a film, excuse me, sir." Not waiting for a reply, Spencer exited the kitchen, walking down the hall until he was outside the lounge. He shifted the bowls around in his arms, quickly knocking on the door before the bowls fell back in their original place.
There was a loud bout of laughter from Ronny as Will opened the door. Spencer kept a straight face, "Here is the popcorn you requested." The butler wondered what was so funny, poking his head into the room. He let his eyes roam across the room, taking in Will giving out the popcorn, Mack curling into a tight ball on the couch, and the TV screen.
Ronny caught his eyes, taking a hand of popcorn for herself, "We found Mack's porn collection."
Well that explains it, Spencer thought. He nodded, "I see. It's not exactly respectable, but to each their own." He pulled his head back, shutting the door as he quietly thought aloud, "Though I'd hardly call two DVDs a collection."
Dax yelled out a noise as the door shut behind Spencer, and the butler could only smile to himself as he returned to the kitchen, ready to clean up the bags he left on the table.
He halted as he caught sight of his employer; Andrew was munching on his own bowl of popcorn. He stopped, swallowing before opening his mouth.
"Spencer! So, what were they watching?"
The older man simply let his smile widen, "Oh. It was just the first season of Gundam, sir. Master Mack is trying to convert the others."
