Chapter 69: Love Triangle
Emily's POV
As I stood in the hallway at my locker, getting my text books for the last subject of the day, I overheard a group of girls whispering about me. It was funny how they were talking about me and I standing right there. They knew I would hear them so, of course, they were seeking my attention, and I ignored them.
I continued to get my textbooks and closed my locker when one of them said his name-- my Sebastian's name. Something in me lit, like a flare shooting into the skies. My blood boiled and I turned towards them and approached them.
"You have something to say, say it to my face!" I snapped at the ring leader, Ania Haynes.
She backed away a few feet behind her friends, Samika James, Karrie George and Jamie Sams.
"All we were saying is that Sebastian is cheating on you," she said.
I paused to process what she had just said, but I couldn't believe her. Those girls were miserable with their own dull lives, and onl

IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 1: Coffee Face
Emma Cole, a nerd in high school and untouched all throughout her life at a community college, was abandoned by her birth parents and grew up in foster care homes all around New York. Whenever her name was mentioned, the people who knew her laughed and called her foul names, since she looked like the female version of Steve Urkel and was easy to pick on and belittle. She had no sense of style. All she wore were big dresses that hid her tiny figure underneath and glasses which didn't do her eyes any justice. She owned one bag-- a beat-up leather she received as a gift from a spelling bee contest her freshman year in high school.Though she went to school, she had no friends, no family, and no one to teach her about becoming a lady. Emma had done everything by herself since she was one year old-- the age she was dumped by her parents into the foster system.At age twenty three, she lived in a very small apartment by herself. She wasn't able to land a high-paying job to a
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 2: News Paper

It was still early."There's still time to go to the library and then the park," I said to myself as I got off the bed.I changed into something skimpier, still concealing my entire figure underneath. I was insecure about my body and ashamed of the scars it possessed.I started on my heel and headed to the library then the park. I was sitting on the bench reading Counting Raindrops Through A Stained Glass Window, when an old lady with platinum blonde hair sat down beside me."Hello dear," she greeted, kindly.For an old woman by herself in the park, she wore very expensive jewelry. I could tell just by looking at it."Hello ma'am," I greeted back with a small smile. I continued with
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 3: Coffee Maid
Emma's POVI woke before my alarm. I wanted to wake up early so I could iron my clothes and look extra sharp. I looked through my suitcase underneath the tiny bed. I pulled out a black skirt that dropped below my knees, along with a white shirt with black buttons down the middle. I placed them on the bed and hurried downstairs to the laundry mart to borrow the iron since I didn't own one. Mrs. Lee, who worked in the laundry rooms, always lent it to me whenever I asked her.I ironed my clothes carefully then hung it up above the bed. I combed out my thick, curly black hair that dropped right at my shoulder, which I always dreaded. I had broken countless combs and brushes due to this uncontrollable hair of mine.When I was finished, I opened a tin of sausage and a packet of bread rolls and made myself a cup of tea. Once I was through eating the alarm on my phone went off. I smiled at myself, knowing that time was in my favor today. It was 6:45 a.m. when I left

So I rested for the remainder of the afternoon. Moving away from this place wouldn't be difficult; I owned a small amount of clothing and supplies. I set the alarm on my phone before I forgot, then began reading a romance novel.My phone rang and I looked at the number. It was unknown but I answered anyway."Miss Cole, I need you."I couldn't believed what I was hearing. "Mr. Hollen?" I asked to make certain this wasn't a joke."Yes.""But I told you I will start in the morning.""Do you want the job Miss Cole or not? Because if you're no longer interested I can easily find a replacement with a snap of my fingers.""I'll be there," I blurted. I leaped out of bed and headed for the shower. "I cannot afford to lose th

I took the coffee cup and headed back to the kitchen where I found Halley mopping the floor where flour had spilled."Um, Halley," I began. She made me uncomfortable, like a tiger ready to pounce and attack at any minute.She looked over to me, mop still in hand. "What?""Mr. Hollen instructed that we should prepare a guest room downstairs.""He's having visitors again, Aggie?" she asked her, turning from me."Not that I know of.""Actually, it's for me," I let out.Both women looked at me with awe."Mr. Hollen is having you sleep in a guest room?"

He instructed me to bring the coffee up to his bedroom on the top floor.

His bedroom door was slightly open.I pushed through and called for him. "Mr. Hollen, I brought your coffee!"Silence."Mr. Hollen?" I called again.He appeared from the area I assumed was the bathroom with a red bath towel wrapped around his waist, and another drying his wet hair. His chest screamed come lick me.

For a young woman she had already experienced a very difficult life. My grandmother had taught me when someone is down in life it is not wise to throw more bricks at them, but, instead, it would be wise to help them up. Growing up, I rarely saw both of my parents.

I'd been forlorn, but my grandmother took me under her wing and grew me up as the man she felt I ought to be.I had been looking at Emma in the kitchen while she made my coffee.
