My Strict Housemaid (episode 14)

Episode 14

“Phew!” Elvis breathed out and opened the front door after taking the pack. 

“Wait Sir, I need to see you”

This is it, she’s finally going. His mind made a joyful leap.

“Yes,What’s it? He tried asking as nonchalantly as possible.

“I need a phone” she grinned lopsidedly.

“Wait what?”

“Yes, a phone”

“What about the one with you?” he asked.

“Oh this?” She waved the phone, it for personal use, not official use.

“Is there a difference?” Elvis asked.

“Sadly, yes. A very big difference or do you want me to pull off the stunt I did yesterday to give you water and apple juice?”

“Fine, I’ll get you one' he conceded.

“And while you are at it, it’s only a day to weekend, I’ll need to go to the grocery store” she said.

“Okay, I’ll drop one of credit cards tomorrow for you”.

“Cool and I need a car too”

“For what?” he asked in anger, he was running late.

“To go to the store or did you expect me to walk?” she asked him.

“It’s five minutes walk from here, young lady” he snapped at her.

“I know sir but I can’t walk around under the sun.” she said.

“Then take a car yourself, you should know where the car keys are.”

“I don’t know how to drive” she said plainly.

OMG.

“Who did you say you are again?” he asked in frustration.

“Your maid” she replied him.

“I think you meant to say someone sent hell to infuriate me!” he stomped out.

He grumbled as made his way to his car. Personal and official phone. Hmph.

He parked in the reserved place meant for hi and entered the building. It’s funny how he achieved things quickly after my ex left. “To my office” he said to Pat who was chatting with the receptionist.

The smile on Pat's face froze and he follows slowly behind him. Elvis opened his office and dropped the lunch bag on his table, he freed his tie a little.

“Didn’t I ask you not to eat the food yesterday?” he shouted at Pat.

“I-I thought you wouldn’t eat it and I don’t want the food to waste” Pat looked at anywhere but avoided his gaze.

A Night with Mr Arrogant ( episode 34)

Episode 34

Just then Jackson saw the perfect dress, it’s a red gown.

Though, it’s plain and simple, but it’s elegant.

It makes me think of her nightie, seeing her in it this morning was torture to me.

This dress will look good on her. Jackson show it to Bright

“Look. This is the one” he said.

“Yeah, I can already picture her in it” Bright said.

“Don’t!” Jackson scold him. “Stop picturing her in your head”

“Yes, boss” he said.

“Good. Now order for this gown, it should be delivered to the mansion” Jackson told him.

” Ok… ” Then he start to type on his laptop..

Jackson smile as he pictured Mirabel in the red dress. She look perfect in my imagination.

************************

*Mirabel's mansion*

The sound of the alarm clock blaring angrily waking me up from my sweet nap. I didn’t bother checking time, I quickly dash into my bathroom.

After taking my bath, I wrap my Dora the explorer towel around my chest.

You know, I’m obsessed with Dora the explorer. I enter my closet and take out my white, off shoulder jumpsuit, and put it on.

I take out my white sneakers and puts it on.

I love sneakers, cause as the name implies I can easily sneak up on people.

I apply a little lipgloss on my lips, and a little mascara to my eyelashes.

Then comb my hair, and leave it to fall back on my shoulders. I need to look good, who knows, I might caught someone’s eyes out there.

As soon as I’m done getting ready, my phone beeped. It’s a text from Victor.

Victor:- I’m at your gate, Pretty. Looking forward to seeing you.

I smile at the text. I grab my purse and head out.

I met Paul outside, he’s trimming the flowers.

“Hey, Paul. I’ll be out for a few minutes” I told him.

“No problem. You're looking good” he said.

“Thanks. I’ll be back soon”

“You take your time, enjoy” he winks at me.

I smile and wave bye at him, then I head towards the gate. I step out of the compound and see Victor standing next to his car, patiently waiting for me.

Episode 13

“Glad to see you’re awake. Sorry for barging into your room that way because you could be naked but don’t worry, it’s nothing I haven’t seen. Now back to business, next time put your clothes in the laundry basket not the floor. You’re not a five year old for goodness sake!!” 

“Umm sorry? What’s your job? Why are you complaining?” he asked her.

” Seems you’re getting lazy of recent, your house wasn’t dirty when I came but now it’s getting worst everyday.”

“Isn’t that why you’re here?” he asked.

“If you litter the ground again, you’ll take the trash out. That’s final” she threatened him.

That zipped his lips instantly.

She shook her head and left the room.

Elvis fell back on the bed, an exasperated sigh escaping his lips. He love his solitude!!

He stood up and took out his drawing board and set it beside the window such that the morning rays of light landed on the board and began drawing. Yeah, he draw whenever he's nervous, angry, sad and even happy, it’s what keeps his sanity especially after my ex.

He stopped drawing few minutes later and looked at what he drew. It made no sense and took no shape. He covered it and dressed for the day.

I’m definitely going to deal with Pat for eating my lunch yesterday and disappearing, Elvis said to himself.

He went down to the dining where his food was already served. He sat and ate quietly. Everything feels so new, once upon a time I would be the one going through the stress of cooking but that doesn’t mean I’m happy she’s here, he thinks aloud.

Elvis collected his car keys and made to go. He passes through the living room on my way out and found her doing yoga on a tango mat on the floor.

“That’s your lunch” Lucy pointed to the pack sitting at the edge of the table.

” Hope you aren’t forgetting water or whatever this time” Elvis asked.

“No Sir” she replied.

“Phew!” he breathed out and opened the front door after taking the pack.

“Wait Sir, I need to see you”

A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 33)

I think about Victor. This is the third time he’s asking me out, but I keep denying him, I can’t continue to do that all the time.

Maybe I should call him and reschedule our dinner, maybe change it to lunch, so that I can have lunch with him instead.

I dialed Victor’s number. He picks up on the first ring.

Victor:- Mirabel, what’s up?.

Me:- erm, Victor, I was hoping we could do lunch instead. I’ll be kinda busy later in the evening.

Victor:- no problem. I’m totally fine with that.

Me:- Good. I’ll get ready before 12pm, be sure to pick me up in time. I don’t like being kept waiting.

Victor:- You don’t have to worry. I’ll be there by 11am.

Me:- see you later.

Victor:- Yeah. And dress sexy.

I hang up. I look at the wall clock, it’s just 9:12am. I still have some time to sleep.

I head upstairs to my room, I set my alarm for 11:50am.

At least, two hours sleep is enough. I fall on my bed with a soft thud, and close my eyes to sleep.

*******************************

Jackson is in his office looking through his laptop, looking at dresses. He's sitting with Bright on a sofa in the sitting area in his office.

Bright is busy scheduling appointments with the company's investors, while Jackson is busy searching for a dress online.

Which he still haven’t found the perfect one.

“Jackson, you know you don’t have to order a dress for her. She can wear her old dress” Bright said.

“I have to. I want my woman to stand out, and besides, I don’t like those pieces of cloth she wears. They barely covers her body” Jackson replied.

“You know, it’s not bad if she shows a little skin”.

“It is!. I’m supposed to be the only one who’s permitted to see her skin”

Just then I saw the perfect dress, it’s a red gown.

Though, it’s plain and simple, but it’s elegant.

It makes me think of her nightie, seeing her in it this morning was torture to me.

This dress will look good on her. Jackson show it to Bright.

Episode 32

I sat at the living and decide to call Lizzy and ask of her opinion, because, I’m honestly confused. I’ve already agreed to have dinner with Victor, now Jackson is asking me out too.

I dialed Lizzy’s number and wait for her to pick up.

“Hi, Lizzy!. Finally you called me, I thought he might killed you. Phew! Thank God you are alive” she blabs.

I chuckled. Best friends are crazy, right?.

“So what did you find?” She asks me.

“I haven’t find anything yet, I only know that he doesn’t go to bed without his meds. And he gets nightmares, very frightening ones” I told her.

“Good, that’s a start. I need you to get closer to him, maybe you’ll find out more” she paused. “But how can we get you closer to him?”.

“I don’t know. Anyway let’s forget about that for now, I want your opinion on something”

“What’s that?” She asked.

I clear my throat.

“I have two dinner invitations. One is from a friend I made here, and the other is from Jackson Mark. I don’t kn…. ”

” Wait!” She interupts me. “Did you just say Jackson Mark?” She asks.

I nod, then I remember that she can’t see me.

” Yes” I said.

” You have to go with Jackson!”

” Why?”

” What do you mean why? It’s the perfect opportunity for you to get closer to him, it’ll make it much easier to find out his secrets!” She explained.

Thinking about it, I think what she suggests actually make much sense.

If I want to know what his secrets are, then I need to become friends with him.

Why didn’t I think of this before? Hm. Maybe because I’m too dumb.

Whatever!.

“Ok. Thank you, Lizzy”

“No, thank you. You are the one risking your life for me, you are the one trying to save my career. So thank you” she said.

I smile. I’m just happy knowing I’ll be saving lives by doing this.

“I’ll talk to you later” I said and hang up.

I think about Victor. This is the third time he’s asking me out, but I keep denying him, I can’t continue to do that all the time.

Maybe I should call him and reschedule our dinner, maybe change it to lunch, so that I can have lunch with him instead.

“Don’t tell me you want to matchmake them.” he asked.

“No, I’m going to warn her to stay away from Elvis so he doesn’t hurt her and do exactly as he says. I hope she lives through till I get there” she said.

“I don’t think she’s intimidated by him though” Pat said.

“You can’t say that….” She stopped talking and listening to the sound that was coming from our three year old daughter’s room.

“Your baby needs attention” she said to him.

“Isn’t she our baby?” Pat replied dreading to go to Lina’s room. She won’t let me off easily.

Jane stood up and packed our plates

“you don’t want our daughter disturbing the neighborhood, do you?” She ruffled my hair and gave me the don’t-argue-with-me look. “Good luck” she added

Pat gulped and walked slowly to their daughter’s room.

She stopped crying when she saw him and stretched both arms towards him with bright eyes “Flying” she called out my name.

“This is going to be a long night” he whined internally.

******************************

Elvis watched Lucy retiring back in annoyance and went to the kitchen to heat up the food. The only good thing about her stay here since three days ago is her food. I must admit, she has good cooking skills, he said to himself.

When he was done, he locked the shutters, the doors and switched off the lights before heading to his room.

He brought out his ex’s picture and studied her face. That has being his ritual every night for the past two years. It’s still surprising that someone he loved could become a beast yet he can’t find himself unloving her. He sighed and put her picture back in his wallet and slept, welcoming the nightmares that would follow as usual.

Next morning

Elvis woke up to the sound of his bedroom door opening.

He sat up quickly and watched Lucy pick the dirty clothes he had deliberately dropped on the floor.

“Glad to see you’re awake. Sorry for barging into your room that way because you could be naked but don’t worry, it’s nothing I haven’t seen. Now back to business, next time put your clothes in the laundry basket not the floor. You’re not a five year old for goodness sake!!” 

“Umm sorry? What’s your job? Why are you complaining?” he asked her.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (episode 31)

Episode 31

This will do for now.

I’m about to head out when my phone begin to ring. It’s Victor calling.

Me:- Victor! Good morning.

Victor:- Good morning, beauty. I was hoping we could have dinner tonight? Please don’t say no, I really wanna get to know you better.

Our plan of having lunch was cancelled yesterday, so having dinner with him today can make up for it.

After all, I also want to know him more.

Me:- Alright. Cool.

Victor:- Yes! Be ready by 7pm. I’ll pick you up.

Me:- No problem.

I hang up and head downstairs. When I get there, they’ve already finish their pancakes. How long was I in there?

Jackson access my clothing and nod approvingly.

“Much better” Jackson said.

I turn to Bright, he’s looking at something on his phone.

“Bright, what do you think. Do you prefer this to my red nightie?”

Before Bright could answer, Jackson growled.

” You don’t need his opinion!” He said.

Hmm. What is wrong with him? Weirdo.

Bright stands up and whisper something into Jackson’s ear. Then he turn to me and send me a wink, then he hurrys out.

Jackson stands up and head upstairs to get dressed for work.

I pack the plates and take them back to the kitchen. I begin to wash them, after washing and drying them.

I turn to go to the living room, when my face meets with a hard wall.

No, sorry. It was Jackson's chest.

“Ouch, Jackson. You almost broke my nose with your hard chest” I blunt out before I could stop myself.

” Sorry. But I wanna tell you something” he said.

“What?” I asked.

I see his neck and ears turn red, he scratched the back of his neck nervously.

This is the first time I’m seeing Jackson Mark getting nervous like this. Now I’m curious about what he wants to say.

“You..I..” he paused. “Can you have dinner with me, tonight?”

What? Oh no!

This can’t be happening now.

I open my mouth to say something, but he interupts me.

“You don’t have to answer me now, I’ll give you from now till 6pm to make up your mind” he said. “Please take care of yourself till then”

Without another word he left.

Jackson Mark is asking me to have dinner with him?

This is huge! But I already agree to Victor’s request, oh no.

What should I do now?
