A/N: Hey, guys. Back again with a second chapter for this supposed one-shot. I hope you like it. Please read and review. Oh yeah I realized I didn't put a disclaimer on the first one but I figure everyone knows no one will ever own Sweeney whatsoever anyway, Stephen Sondheim does! (One of many I think…)

"Mr. Todd!" I yelled after I stared at the door for a moment. I dropped my cleaning facilities and took the steps two at a time. Before I even reached the door it flew open with Mr. T there standing like he was waiting for me.

"Nellie," he said softly. I hesitated for a second. I still wasn't used to Mr. Todd calling me Nellie yet.

"Mr. T. Wot's wrong?" I asked in concern. His facial expression suddenly changed and just stared into my eyes.

"Nothing, what's wrong with you?" he snapped.

"Mr. T, I-"

"I thought you would have liked the sound of your name better coming from me," he answered, harshly.

"Wot?"

"Nellie," he said, it was like he was trying to get used to calling me by my name.

"Shut up!" I shrieked. "There is something fishy goin' on around 'ere sir, are you okay? Wot is wrong with you? Did you bump your 'ead Mr. T? 'ave ya cut yerself without even realizin'?" before I even had a chance to babble on, he suddenly had his lips to mine. A rush of pleasure swept through me as I kissed him back. I had always wished for this moment to come but it felt awfully weird. I broke the kiss before I lost myself into him.

"Mr. T!" I yelped. Mr. Todd stepped back a bit and waited for me. "Wot is wrong with yer?"

"My pet, if you ask me that one more time I might have to convince you better," he said, in a tone I never heard him use. I was shocked once again the second time. I blushed and realized what he meant. Mr. T must be on something, I thought.

"Isn't this what you always wanted?" he asked, angrily.

"Wot?"

"Isn't this what you always wanted?"

"How do yer know wot I want?" I replied in defense.

"You know the answer to that already, my pet," he replied, bluntly. I stared at him for a moment; of course he was right about that I have always wanted him. I glanced from the floor and back up to Mr. Todd, I still wasn't quite sure of what to do.

"Mum?" I heard a faint voice call from below. I had totally forgotten about Toby and realized all the noise I made before must have woken the poor love up.

"Yes, darlin'?" I answered, leaning over the balcony in behind the steps.

"Wot was all the screaming about?"

"Nuthin' love, go back to bed," I reassured him sweetly.

"Ok," he replied and heard his footsteps close a door. I felt relived he didn't ask anymore questions. Sweeny didn't seem to care that Toby heard us.

"So Nellie, want to come in to my shop," he asked. "Or do you want to stand out there looking even more confused then usual?" I brought my attention back to him and narrowed my eyes at Mr. Todd. He had stepped away and made a hand gesture to come inside. I didn't hesitate this time and took his offer. He closed the softly and turned to me.

"Mr. T. are you sure yer alright?" I asked again. This time he hated me asking and shoved me against the wall, his hand on my throat.

"Nellie, dear. If you ask one more time I won't call by your name ever again," he threatened. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Ok, I will never ask a stupid question again," I promised him. He let go of me and stood back. Although a question was lingering in my mind and I had to ask it.

"Wot…?"

"Shut up!" he snapped yelled.

"How do yer know what I was goin' to say, Mr. T?" I asked him angrily.

"Nellie, it's easy to tell what you're about to ask," he replied.

"Oh," I answered. "Does that mean I can call yer by your real name?"

He stared at me.

"Depends," he answered, after a short pause.

"On wot?"

"That you never ask a ridiculous question."

"That's bit 'ard, Mr. T." I answered, embarrassed slightly. I may 'ave a lot to ask but maybe only half were obvious question.

"I know," he chuckled softly to himself. I narrowed my eyes at him. He was beginning to annoy me even more now.

"Fine, Benjamin," I said without realizing. His eyes softened as he stared at me. "Or would you rather Mr. Barker, sir?" I added, quickly. Mr. Todd laughed and shook his head.

"Oh my pet, Nellie," he whispered to me as he got closer to my face. I could smell his hair, quite revolting but it seemed like heaven at that moment. He put his hand on my cheek and slowly but deliberately slid his hand down my side. My skin tingled wherever his hand touched.

"Erm…"

"Nellie, you don't have to be nervous about anything," he assured me. I couldn't answer by where his hand was heading down to my waist and running along my thigh.

"Are yer drunk Mr. T?" I realized I asked another stupid question and I knew what was coming. He shoved me away from him angrily.

"Mrs. Lovett," he said angrily. "LEAVE!" he roared. I didn't move, I just wanted to cry. I really liked it how he was calling by my first name. For once I thought I was actually not just someone who was helping him get rid of the evidence of his revenge killings.

"No, I won't," I yelled back, furiously. Mr. Todd got out one of his razors and shoved me against the wall.

"I said get out," he hissed, putting the blade to my throat. I was furious at myself for asking a stupid question. I didn't want to satisfy Mr. Todd I was fed up being treated like a slave.

"No," I replied, not taking my eyes off him. "No, Benjamin Barker," I added in the same tone. His face was close to mine. All I wanted to do was to kiss him now. He was certainly close enough to touch.

"Mrs. Lovett," he whispered. "Leave me."

"I can't Benjamin you need me to much," I whispered back. He released the razor from my throat and walked away to the window he always stood at. I stared at him for a moment before I wanted to approach him.

"Is that why you said my name, Mr. Barker?" I asked him softly. Silence was the only answer I received. I waited for a while but all he did was stand at the window looking down on the streets of London. I turned to leave then Mr. Todd spoke.

"Yes," he replied, still looking out the window. Silence only answered for me as I stared at Benjamin Barker again, the foolish man who lost everything.
