I stared at the hotdog, twisted it and stabbed it. I don't know, if I have no appetite or if my stomach hurts. There seems to be something in my stomach as I think about what had happened last night.
"Is there a problem, Zella?" I was taken aback by my stare at the hotdog as mother Helen spoke. I blinked and drank my water.
"Uh .. because ... I couldn't sleep well last night."
Obviously a lie. I can't forget Taiden, he kissed me. I can't tell mother Helen about it. What else might she think if she'll knew? And I am very indebted to this family. They may think that I am ungrateful and I seduced their only son.
But I'm not attracted, am I? He kissed me. I just didn't push him right away. Why didn't I push him right away, though? And I let our lips linger on each other like they were sparring!
"Why didn't you sleep well? Were you tired last night? I'm sorry hija.
I shook. "Oh no, that's not it. Uh ... there were mosquitoes ... and that ... bit me." I bent down and closed my eyes firmly as I remembered Taiden biting my lip last night. I think I said those words with double meaning.
"Mosquito? Did your window open last night? So you got bitten?" she asked again. Now, I have a hard time thinking of alibi. I have never been bitten by a mosquito in this house.
Why did I use mosquito as an alibi anyway?
I was about to answer when Taiden entered the kitchen, and he immediately found my eyes. I averted my eyes and resumed eating. There's something in his eyes now and I don't know what it is. I can't stand it either.
"Hijo, good morning..." mother Helen greeted him sweetly.
"Good morning..." he responded.
"What do you want, hijo?"
"Anything ..." he said and I hadn't even looked up and he sat down in front of me. The table is a bit long and his position is more okay with me now.
"Oh okay , wait a moment." And mother Helen left immediately. I eat quietly but I speed up even though I'm filling my mouth with too much food. I want to finish as quickly as possible. I'm not comfortable that we're in the same place.
"Are you that hungry?"
He said so I looked up. He immediately laughed when he saw my face....chubby cheeks because of the food. I felt ashamed. So I hurriedly drank some water and stared at him.
"Here's your food, Taiden. Do you want anything else?"
"Nothing, this is fine. Thanks."
"And you Zella, I'll take care of your room. I'll spray with mosquito repellent, so you can sleep well later."
I looked up and nodded to mother Helen.
"Is there a mosquito in your room?" Taiden asked me curiously.
Oh god. How far will this conversation go.
"Oh my gosh, and she w*"Oh my gosh, and she w*s bitten last night so.." mother Helen explain it to him.
It was as if I was floating in shame, not knowing why I should be ashamed. I'm afraid Taiden gets what mother Helen were talking abour. I just hope not!
"Did the mosquito bit you real good?" Taiden who was plastered grinned on his face. I'm sure he got what mother Helen said.
I didn't feel embarrassed so I stared at him.
"Yes, I was bitten by a mosquito. The next time he bites, I'll kill him..." I warned with piercing look.
He chuckled before he drank the water. He looked amazed or was I just imagining what that on his face?
"You can't kill that mosquito easily. Before you knew it. He's already sucking you." He winked at me. I glared at him but he just laughed. "Your blood i mean, chill." He added.
I was even more annoyed because of his grin. I'm obviously annoyed again. But I will not give up!
"I'll keep an eye on him next time. Before he could land to my skin, I'll kill him." I said irritably.
"Let's see that." he said getting amazed by the conversation.
Here we are again.
"It's a simple thing. A mosquito, but you've been able to talk." It was madam. I was suddenly nervous because of her sudden appearance.
Did madam hear everything? She may have thought that I did not respect her son. Because of our conversation, I didn't even call him Sir.
"Good morning, Madam." I greeted her and she immediately smiled.
"Good morning to you two." He turned to me and Taiden at the same time. "I'm glad to see you talking." Because of that, Taiden smiled foolishly.
Why would Madam be glad that we were talking? I'm just a humble helper. I can even understand if she gets angry because I didn't even call her son sir.
I reluctantly walked into the school. I can't forget Taiden and I kissing. Is this really the effect of a kiss? Didn't put my system to sleep!
"Hey! The depth of what you're thinking, I've been calling you since forever!" Suzie exclaimed.
"Uh ... I didn't hear you." I sighed.
"Do you have a problem? CanI didn't hear you." sounded worried. Is it okay for me to tell her about what happened last night? She's my friend anyway.
I turned to her.
"What?" Suzie waiting for me to say something.
"Uh ... have you ever been kissed?" My question is straightforward. Her jaw dropped immediately at what I said.
"Did you kiss? Who? When? Where? Sure! Just last night..." thrilled she said. I was the one who's shocked to her answer!
"Really? Who did you kiss?"
"One of Taiden's friends." She grinned and raised an eyebrow "You? Who did you kiss?" She asked curiously.
I blinked and was embarrassed to tell her.
"T-Taiden..." In a low voice that was a bit whispering. Suzie gasped and blinked at the same time screaming. Now, we have grabbed the attention of other students.
"Oh my gosh. Oh. My. Gosh!" she's exaggerated and fanned herself, feeling like she was going to have a heart attack.
"Lower your voice, Suzie. It's embarrassing." I insisted.
"I'm sorry girl, but gosh! Who wouldn't be thrilled. Taiden's handsome and you kissed him? I mean, they're all handsome but Taiden's aura is different. It's intimidating to be so sexy!" She giggle again.
I dragged her to the comfort room because the students were already looking at us and I was also feeling uneasy. When we entered, Suzie immediately asked again.
"How did you feel? Isn't it good? It's like you're walking on a cloud nine with your eyes closed." she said dreamingly. I was shook my head.
"Uh ... quite."
"What's the matter? The kiss is so good. We'll meet again later. I'm sure we'll kiss again." Suzie giggled with laughter.
I was about to enter one of the cubicles when I turned around and saw Sofiya and her friends standing there. They laughed even though nothing was funny.
"Did you hear that? Our nanny has been kissed!" They laughed again at the same time. "Let me guess, hmm...isn't that Anjo? Our skinny gardener and has popping wide eye." They laughed again.
"Not Anjo!" Suzie sighed.
I restrained Suzie and she might slip and she could even say that it was Taiden I kissed. I'm sure they won't believe me and they'll tease me even more.
"Who else would kiss a maid? Of course , also her fellow house helper..." Sofiya said sarcastically.
"Enough, Sofiya." I said, because it starts to hurt me at her contempt for me.
"Why? Isn't it true? That a nanny like you are suitable for those like Anjo, a gardener."
They all laughed even more.
Maybe she was right. Those like me are only suited to the men who has the same life with me. That is really the truth. I don't want to have the illusion that Taiden likes me just because he kissed me.
I just came home from school and Sofiya's insults to me are still circulating in my brain. Even though what she said was true, I was still hurt. This is an honorable job, I know. Maybe they can't appreciate it because they were raised with silver spoon on their mouth. I immediately put on my house clothes and went downstairs to help in the kitchen. I came across Madam as I was going downstairs, she was talking to someone. I frowned when Sofiya saw me. What is she doing here? "Hi Zella!" she greeted with a big smile. The plastic bitch. Like she didn't insulted me at school earlier. I just smiled a little. I don't want to deal with her now. "Oh hija, you're in the same class as my Sofiya?" madam asked me. Madam is Sofiya's god mother. This is actually the first time she visited her. "Yes, madam..." I answered. I was about to t
I'm cutting garlic because it's Sunday. Sofiya's party day, and the dress is ready in my room to wear. It was also from Madam's personal designer. I'm feel sorry, I can't wear that, because I'm not going to that party.I just need to put the garlic in my armpit for a few minutes. After I take the garlic there, I will then take the temperature myself.I can't help but think of what Taiden said yesterday. I'm not allowed to flirt anywhere? Why? Because I'm just a mere nanny, is it forbidden? Not that I want to try that, because my education is more important to me than that.But he belittled me too much. Like Sofiya, she viewed me as just a humble helper. So, that kiss.... I will forget that kiss. I don't want to assume. I do not want to be hurt anymore.Madam and I are now sitting next to sir Darius in her room in front of the vanity mirror while we are getting makeup.I already h
He was holding me by the waist and all my attention was there. He squeezes it occasionally so I turn to the side and blink slightly. Why does he have such an effect on me, even though we often disagree?His expensive perfume attacks my nose. It's intoxicating and very manly. None of me removed his hand as we entered the hall in Sofiya's mansion.I no longer looked at what his reaction would be when I removed his hand because he was stunned I did. I'm sure that the monkey's face isn't pleasant anymore.The huge chandelier in the middle welcomed us. There were big tables and there were people in each of them. The surroundings are screaming luxury. Every dress of the people you will know that they’re wealthy.I saw on the left a table a "Hernandez" written on the card
We just walked home to the mansion, because we had only used one car going to Sofiya’s party. He left it for his parents. And now I just realize we didn’t inform them that we’re going home! I took off my heels because he was walking so fast. I'm having trouble walking with it. He stopped when he notice that suddenly I stopped, at the same time I reached for my heels."What are you doing?" he asked.I looked at him and saw that his eyebrows met again.This makes him look angry. Even if I’m not doing anything wrong!"My foot hurts. How fast could you walk! You thought you were pulling a cart?" I said irritably and removed his hand.He approached me still fu
Sometimes, someone comes into your life so unexpectedly and takes your heart by surprise. It's embarrassing to admit, that even though we sometimes quarrel and always don't get along, he gradually leaves a mark to my heart. And I was afraid of that mark, to be the cause of the destruction of my heart.Would I let him in?"Hey. You're quiet." he said while driving because he picked me up.I shook my head and looked out the window. I want to ask him if it's true that he texted Sofiya. But who am I? I have no right. He is still courting with me. We’re not in a relationship, yet.We were quiet the whole ride and he didn't speak, too, until we got ho
When we arrived at the mansion, we found many parked cars outside. His friends are here again."Oh." said everyone seeing us going inside together."Zella baby, what's the status?” Elton asked me curiously."Watch your mf mouth, Roux!" Taiden smirked but everyone just laughed except Keion who just looking at me seriously. He nodded at me and I gave him a smile. This person is really very mysterious."Uh ... excuse me. I'm just gonna change. Uh ... do you want anything? I'll get ready." I was embarrassed to question them."They don't need anything, Ze." Taiden again could no longer paint his face."Fence right away. You really thought so." Macsen's teasing.Everyone laughed because of what Macsen said and Keion laughed too."Let it go. Our big boss is growing up." Dale commented.I didn't mind it and went up to change. I just did a quick dressing because I'm sure they have commands.When I went downstairs, I immediately heard the noise in the pool. They are there.I hurriedly went ther
I told Keion that Taiden would pick me up and we would meet next time. What should we talk about anyway?Suzie and I were looking at the gate when I saw his car parked on the other side of the road."Oh my! Where's Sofiya? Taiden is already picking her up! " said Margaux. He’s picking me up, not Sofiya. Illusionists.Suzie snorted when she heard that. Surely it will get to Sofiya. I close my eyes at the thought that I will hear another satire tomorrow.Even in the distant view, you can see his body pulling it into the gym. He is only a bit older than me, but because of his physique he looks like a model.I heard some students giggle. Who doesn't? Aside from hisvJeep Wrangler stealing everyone’s attentiom. And his own aura and appearance have not helped. My eyes rolled.When Suzie and I got closer to him, he kissed my cheek. It was as if I had a hole in my stomach or something when he did that. He stared at me for a moment before averting his eyes to Suzie."Uh ... can I ride? No one
