Chapter 21: Have It Your Way
Emma's POV
"Ah, Emma is that you?" Agnes asked when she stopped what she was doing to take me in. "Wow, my child. I always knew you were very beautiful," she added as she wrapped her arms around me.
I wiped a tear of happiness from my eye. I had missed her. I felt kind of guilty for forgetting about her, but Halley had become nice to me and we were bonding nicely.
"I've missed you at the house. What are you doing here?" I asked breaking from our hug.
"Mr. Hollen called me a few days ago and invited me here to cook while you all are here. Now, get out of my kitchen. I've got everything under control. Go and enjoy the beach or the front yard."
"I came here because I was hungry."
She opened the oven and took out several large trays. She prepared a plate of pineapple chicken, rice and peas, potato salad, macaroni pie and a slice of lasagna.
My mouth watered.
"Eat dear," she said as she handed me the plat

"Nice room," she remarked, moving towards my body mirror which was one footstep away from the bathroom door.Don't go in the bathroom! Don't go in the bathroom!I was panicking on the inside as her feet got closer and closer to the bathroom door.She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She started straightening her clothes and smoothing her hair with her hands. She turned towards me. She took one more look at the room and walked out the door. I heard her heels descending on the stairs. I locked the door and ran back to the bathroom."What is she doing here?" I asked with anger and fright."I don't know. She's supposed to be in Italy.""Maybe the fashion show was cancelled. Oh my gosh, you have to get ou

Ethan's POVI couldn't believe Sharon was here. I had crept out of Emma's room and tiptoed over to mine. I closed the door softly and hopped in the shower. I heard the door open and closed and the sound of heels hitting on the floor as I soaped my body."Baby, are you in here?""Yeah, I'm in the shower," I answered.She entered the bathroom. "Where were you? I've been looking everywhere for you, Ethan.""Just came from the beach. I didn't know you were coming," I answered, the water running over me."I'll wait in the bedroom. I need a favor from you."When I got out of the shower she was sitting on my bed, bouncing her heels over the floor with her long, crossed legs. "Hi, sweetie." I gave her a quick kiss. "What's going on? You're supposed to be out of the country.""I know, I know. I was but I had to fly back because I didn't have enough money for a clothing line I plan to take over in the f

Emma's POVI avoided him for the entire morning and afternoon until it was time get ready for the auction. I was nervous.Please don't embarrass him. Please don't embarrass yourself.I came from the bathroom and it was time to dress. I took my dress out of the closet and laid it on the bed. Black. I'd been in love with the color black since I was five years old. Black described my life; it was dark. Black like the sky at night when my parents dropped me on the doorsteps of a foster home. Black like the basement I had to sleep in.I gently applied lotion to my caramel skin and put on my lace underwear. I slipped into my dress next. It was a long-sleeved lace dress that reached just above my knees. I hoped it was appropriate for the function. I stood in front the full-length mirror as I combed my hair and applied my body fragrance. I put my shoes on and took a final look, making sure everything was perfect. I smiled at myself, I looked so beautiful.
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 25: All Falls Down
Emma's POVI was afraid of falling over if I stood up. I was so light-headed and dizzy; but, then, Mr. Hollen asked me to dance. I looked at him, trying to show him that I was now a dizzy light weight, but didn't want to be rude in front of his grandmother. I recalled, looking at her closer, that she was the same woman I'd seen at the park who left the newspaper behind.Mr. Hollen held out his hand and I took it. He led me to a dance floor where over a hundred couples were dancing as well. He wrapped his arm around my lower back and pulled me closer to him as we began swaying slowly to the music. I'd never danced like that before so I stepped on his shoes a couple of times, and the alcohol wasn't helping. I laid my head on his hard chest, saving my balance. His manly scent tingled in my nostrils as I inhaled deeply. I was so comfortable in his strong arms; I instantly felt like no one else existed around us. It was just us and the music.I hugged him tightly.

Go back to sleep," I told her as I rubbed her back slowly.She laid on the pillow and went back to sleep instantly.I stayed with her a little longer then went to my room, planning how I would spend my time with her in the morning.She rested her head on my shoulder as we looked out at the horizon. She looked so calm. I was happy she was asking me questions and showing emotions without me having to force it out of her. I wanted her to be comfortable with me and not afraid of me."What are your goals in life, Emma?""I want to do something for homeless children who are left on the streets. There's orphanages and foster care homes but that's all there are.

I insisted she stay longer with me."You know you're no longer my maid, right? You're my fiancee now."She looked at her ring. She was still memorized by its presence on her finger. "Mr. Hollen," she began, but I cut her off."Emma, baby, call me Ethan, please.""Ethan. There's something I have to say.""I'm listening, sweetheart.""I can't accept this ring. This doesn't feel right.
