I knead the dough as Hazel stood on a small stool, mixing eggs in a bowl. Hazel won't stop chattering, boasting of how she's gonna be a better cook than me when she's all grown up. I sigh and let her chatter, I can do nothing to stop her.
It's been two long weeks since I started working for the Gauthiers. Long enough to know almost everything about the mansion, the maids, the security men and Hazel. The only person I've not been given the slightest chance to know is Gary Gauthier, the demi god in form of human. Since Hazel's room occupies a floor it's almost impossible that I meet him.Hazel always has a thousand things to do and it keeps me in her apartment all the time. As for Gary, I subconsciously wish I don't have physical contact with him. The few times I did, all I ever do is stutter and act nervous around him. Everything about him is so freaking intimidating. From his killer looks to his scrutinizing gaze.Hazel Is gradually becoming a part of my routine, so smart and lovable you can't help getting attached. It's saddening that Gary has little time for her, Hazel can't grow up without the love of her parents. No kid would love that, growing up without the happy *parent–child* memories. I would need to talk to him on that."Lesley I'm done." Hazel says sliding down the stool. She had told Gary she wants no maid to cook for her again. The maid had only been happy to quit cooking for her, courtesy of her sharp tongue."Alright angel, Now pour the eggs into the veggies and mix them together."Onn ittt..." She drawls and climbed back on the stool. I smiled as I watched Hazel mix, cute little kid. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wiped it off immediately."Lesley is anything wrong?." She asked full of concern."No angel.... why do you ask?." I smile and resume kneading the dough."There are tears in your eyes Lesley." She asked with concern. I ruffled her hair."It's the onions dear." rushed my words out without thinking. Hazel lips twitched in amusement"You're kneading dough Lesley, we haven't sliced the onions yet." She smirked.I scratched my hair as Hazel tried to hide her laugh."And last I checked, flour doesn't make your eyes water." She taunts, grinning."Well.... I guess the onions is giving me a reminder to slice it!" I say and turn to the cabinet. Hazel giggled, I rolled my eyes at her as I brought out the onions."Smart ass!." I mutter, shutting it close.BRIE'S POV..The gates opened and the car drove in. I take a look at this huge mansion in front of me and I couldn't help feeling excited. Goodness!, Gary did make hell of a money while I was away!. It took me a week to garner courage to take a flight to New york and another week to settle in an hotel nearby. The car halts and the driver gets out immediately to open the door. I step out and let in a deep breath. The security men sprawled around so not say a thing, instead they bowed slightly as I walked past them.I glanced at the huge fountain surrounded with blue glass and smiled as memories of our make out fleeted across my mind. I got inside the mansion and entered the lift, pressing the button for the fourth floor. Its been so long I saw Gary... Fuck!... I can't wait to have him plunge recklessly into me.I stepped out as the door opened. His P. A widened his eyes as he saw me.. He took out his phone probably to call Gary and alert him of my presence. Before he could dial, I snatched the phone from his grasp and smatched it on the floor, kicking him in between his legs. He groaned doubling over and grabbing his groin as he groaned."Asshole! that will teach you never to meddle!." I cuss and quickly punched in Gary's code on the door. I smiled as it clicks open. He hasn't changed it, it's still my birth year. He hasn't really gotten over me then. Oh goodness!.I turn the knob and stepped into his home office, without locking the door. Gary's raised his head up on hearing the door open. We're staring at each other, Gary looking so shocked to see me. A thrill shot through my entire body as I take in this glory of a man sitting behind the desk. His face turned dark immediately."What the fuck!." He barked gritting his teeth. I chuckled as I make my way towards him. He pushed his chair back and try to stand but I quickly held him down. I grabbed his collar as I crashed my lips on his Gosh.... I've missed him terribly. He held my hand and jerked it away from him roughly."What the fuck are you doing here Brie!." He snarls, bounding of the chair and taking some steps back. I smirked as I bite downy lips. Goodness!, I've been so stupid to have left him."I let myself in munchie.. fuck I've missed you." purr as I stride to him. I pulled off my long ankle length jacket and I'm clad only in my panties and bra. Gary pauses and I watched him rake his eyes down my body, another thrill sizzled through me. Damn he missed me too!.GARY GAUTHIER'S POVI rake my eye up and down her body in disgust. Who does she fucking think he is, the old Gary?. She's fucked up. That Gary is gone for good. I scoffed and let out a bitter laugh."I've seen sluts who are more curvier than you Brie." I guess that hit her hard cos she sucked in her breath."what gave you the impression that I'd be pleased to stare at your doll like body after so much years huh!?" I fist my palm angrily."Gary..." She started but I cut her off with a death glare."Put on your fuckin clothes, walk out that door and never come back. You know me, I don't deal with old toys." Brie scoffed and she began putting her jacket back on."I know you haven't gotten over me Gary, you'd surely beg to have me na m like you did before." A muscle twitched in my jaw at the memory."I have Brie in ways you could ever imagine." I say calmly- icily."Last I checked you haven't gotten a new pussy for yourself." She smirked. There was a knock at the door."Come in." I blurt, grateful for the distraction. A cute brunette walked in, Hazel's Nanny. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind. I walked over to her and pulled her close to me. I whispered quickly into her ears."Play along please." I say desperately and I pressed my lips against hers. She tensed for aebut relaxed after some moments. Guess she's an actress cos she returned the kiss back and damn her lips tastes great. She pulled off after some moment and I turned back to see Brie frozen to her spot."I hope that answers your question Brie." I raise my brows as I watched her face cloud in anger. She stared daggers at the brunette before she stomped out. I slumped on the couch as I stared at the brunette who had different expressions on her face.LESLEY PERKINS' POVNo!, this can't be happening. Gary Gauthier just fucking kissed me!. Some few minutes ago I wanted to talk to Gary about his relationship with Hazel.I entered to see Gary with a lady, more like a plastic doll, they seemed to be arguing and then Gary comes over to me and tells me to play along.And then kissed me... He fucking KISSED me!. He's slumped on his couch like nothing just happened while my legs are jelly and my heartbeat as increased ten folds."I'm sorry about that Miss Perkins." He raked his hair in embarrassment. I couldn't reply. I just stand in front of him like I'd forgotten my tongue at home."I know I took you by surprise but that was the only way I could get rid of her." He says and pointed at the closed door. I open my mouth to talk but shut it back when no words come out.He stands and walk over to where I am, staring down at me. We lock gaze for some second before his eyes travel down my face resting on my mouth, he leans in, dangerously close. it seemed I've lost control over my legs cos they don't seem to be working any longer.The door opens that instant and someone gasps. I came alive then. I moved backwards as I glanced at the door to see Hazel, with a huge smirk on her face. Gary ran his hand through his hair."Umm, is it okay if I borrow Lesley for a while Dad I promise it's just five minutes and she would be back and you can continue whatever you where doing." She said and she grabbed my hands. I followed her out. Okay I don't think I'm gonna forget this scenario in a while.GARY GAUTHIER'S POV"Fuck!" banged the table in frustration. What the fuck just happened. First Brie comes in unexpectedly and we argue. Then the nanny comes in. I kiss her to pretend she was my new girl. Then Brie angrily left, I apologized to the nanny and she never replied me. I walked over to her to apologize again but no... I was fucking staring at her lips, wanting to kiss her again. I walked over to my cabinet and poured myself a glass of strong drink. It's what I need now.Funnily enough I can't seem to get the kiss out of my head. Her lips, they felt so soft and inviting, I couldn't even get a hold on myself. And why the fuck did Carly let her in.I pressed the button on the table as Carly walked in, limping. Shit!, that explains why he didn't informed me of her arrival. I let out a sigh."Take the day off Carl, Brie is a bitch, Sorry about that.""Thanks boss." He says and limped out. I sat down on the office chair as I booth on my laptop. I'm so changing the password to my office door. Brie is never gonna barge in here in like she did....BRIE'S POVI bang my head in frustration against the headrest as the car drives out of the mansion."Take me to a club" I bark at the driver. Alright I know I fucked up big timez but that was so fuckin embarrassing!. Gary kissing that dirty looking bitch in my presence. I don't seem to know her, she definitely ain't a celebrity, her clothes looks so cheap. I pressed a button on the armrest as it revealed a cabinet full of drinks. What I need now is lots of drinks, music and a good d i c k at the club. For f u c k sake I divorced Brian because I thought Gary had no one!. I'm certain I can get him back, Gary had never been able to resist me, and so long as I'm Brie, he'd never be.LESLEY PERKINS' POVStacy had literally freaked out when I told her of the kiss with Gary. I mean who wouldn't?, It's Gary Gauthier we're talking about."Jeez.... how did it feel like Lesley.... does his lips taste of dollars?. She mused and I roll my eyes dramatically"For f u c k sake Stacy he did it not b
My pulse quickened and heat travelled down my body. His lips brushes my earlobe softly and I suck in my breath sharply. Gary pulls away, leaving me heated up, before sitting between I and Hazel. I clench and unclench my fist so I can stop the erratic way my heart beats. Why the heck is he flirting with me!. I've gotta tell him he should stop, I've barely lasted a month here and I sincerely don't want any scandal."Hey Dad!". Hazel squeaks in excitement as she sit up, its obvious she loves her dad. If only he could pay more attention to her."How you Hazel." He pecks her on the cheek."I'm okay Dad, what you doing here?." She asks as she pours herself a cup of milk."I live here." He says and roll his eyes at her. Hazel grins."No Dad I meant here in the garden. I can't remember the last time I saw you here dad, it's cos of Lesley right?." She smirks and folds her arm. My cheeks heat up cos am blushing.Gary chuckles and reaches for the plate of pancakes. He spreads apple syrup o
LESLEY PERKINS' POVI'm on my third cup of coffee and Stacy on her fourth. I'm repeating the same thing over and over again."Wait..... I don't really understand Lesley..... Gary Gauthier asked you out on a date?" She blurts. I huff and wrap my fingers around the mug."No Stacy, he asked me to accompany him to an anniversary because his mom insists he brings a girl along.""What's the difference... last time I checked when a guy asks you out it's called a date Lesley. He officially asked you out cos he's into you.""Fuck stacy..... he's not!.""He is sweetie.... and trust me when I say.... something good is gonna come out of that date. Now you need to shop for more sexy dresses, you'd need to go to the spa...""Stacy!, enough of me already... how is Jeffrey?." I ask dismissively. Jeffrey Is stacy's boyfriend. The last thing I wanted right now is she reminding me of him .. when all I wanted to do was forget him. But it just seemed impossible. His cute face, nice abs, soft looking hai
LESLEY PERKINS' POVMy heartbeat is erratic and I suck in my breath. Gary notices and he pulls away to stare at me."What's wrong?." He voiced out immediately. I blink away what seemed like tears."You scared I'm gonna hurt you huh?" He smirks and I shut my eyes and nod. Oh how I wish it were that. I wish it was that simple. He chuckles and palm my cheeks"I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm sorry I'm damn attracted to you, ever since you walked into my territory I've always wanted to know how your lips would taste like, how your velvet skin would feel like." He paused as his hands went up to cup the male of my neck. Shivers coarsed down my spine, more from his words than his touch. Deep inside my subconscious screamed to get away from this man in front of me, but I couldn't. Not with the way he stared so intensely at me, not with the way he kissed me perfectly. Though my heart was thudding in fear, I shut out whatever demons were threatening to take over my sanity and forced a smile.I drap
GARY GAUTHIER'S POVI hugged her figure as the driver drove out wildly to the nearest hospital. I can't seem to comprehend what just happened.I look down at her sleeping figure and am worried, fucking worried. What the fuck just happened?.Minutes ago I was kissing her very delicate skin, she was just fine. Glowing, looking damn beautiful and then we pulled up at a very expensive club, the most expensive in Atlanta and she stares at the building and goes into shock.Its been so long I feel helpless, Even when I and Brie got divorced, I hadn't felt helpless.But now I couldn't help feeling helpless. She looks so pale my heart longed to protect her.I don't know the effect she has on me. I've known her for over a month but it seems like forever.Throughout the short ride to the hospital, I hug her frame figure, kiss and ruffle her hair and listen to her shallow breathing. Minutes later he pulls up at the hospital and goes out swiftly.The door opens and I rush out heading for th
LESLEY PERKINS' POV"Lesley!."Gary calls me and his voice sounds distant. I tried to regain my composure. I feel Gary wrap his arm around me. That seems to help and I slowly began to gain consciousness"Brunnie.... are you alright!?" Now I flutter my eyes open to look at Gary's concerned one. I tuck my hair behind my ears and nod."Yeah, sure I was just dozing off." I looked around the table to see their eyes on me."you sure about that?, c'mon let's get back to the suite" He says trying to help me up. I didn't even realize my glass cup isn't with me again."No Gary, I'm okay. Do excuse me I wanna visit the ladies". Gary looks up at me as I stand. He didn't look convinced, so I peck his cheeks and whisper quickly."I'm fine Gary ... I'd be back before you say jack." I smile and grab my pearl purse, walking from the table. I find my way to the ladies and enter an empty one. I close the door and lean against it.Oh God!, what's happening to me! Why I'm I acting so jittery!. I badly
LESLEY PERKINS' POV"Don't stay out long." I say as I peck Gary."I wouldn't dare, I hate to stay away from my sexy little Brunnie." I grin, gave him a quick hug before he left the suite.He's gonna be away all day cos he's having a business conference with some of his clients here in Atlanta.I sit on the bed and stare into space. I'm breaking so many rules; Don't ever love someone, I'm breaking that. Don't make any friends, I already broke that rule. Oh God!, what rule is next!.I can hardly still believe I'm Gary's girl. Maybe it's all a roller coaster of emotions but I can't help it.I can't seem to think straight whenever I'm around him, I try so much to resist him, but just the slightest touch from him makes my skin tingle, just the intensity of his gaze makes me forget my decision.If only I can control the way I feel, then maybe I wouldn't fall for him.My phone buzzes and I took it out. Stacy is calling me on face-time. I smile excitedly and swipe to receive. I lay on the
Lesley sits on Gary's desk and Gary stands between her parted thighs."Gary, could I take the day off tomorrow?." She asks threading her fingers in his hair. He trail his arm down the small of her back."Why is that brunnie?" He archs a brows Lesley bite down her lip"Umm, Stacy is holding a sleepover party with her friends and she invited me to come over to help her in the preparations."Gary sits on the swivel chair and take out a cigarette. He lights it and puff out smoke."Do you really have to go?." He groans out. She let out a small smile."Sure Gary, I need t, Stacy has been a wonderful friend to me, I can't turn down such an offer from her." When he doesn't reply, Lesley get off the table and straddle him."It only gonna be a day Gary ... not forever." Gary snake his arms around her and grab her butt. pulling her close to him."A second without you seems like forever." He says huskily. The blush returned, she lean down on him, and kissed him slowly.."Please Gary, it's jus
