"What?" I shrieked.This can't be true.I mean if this is actually one of my dreams then I better wake up already.I batted my eyelashes rapidly to ensure i was not dreaming, But Hell no! I am not dreaming right now, the Almighty Rodney Shaw standing was few meters away from my working place.Without thinking, I scurried to where he was standing and jumped on him, happily.Oh goodness gracious!He's real.I wasn't dreaming nor hallucinating.It was really my Rodney Shaw- the love of my life.His guard tried pushing me away but I didn't oblige.What a dream come true!Who would have thought I would be embracing Rodney right now, inhaling his massive scent.I couldn't help but smile sheepishly to myself as I buried my head in his chest. Suddenly, I was brought out of my thought when someone pushed me with force and before I knew it, I was on the bare floor."Ouch!""That hurts" I yelped, silently.But he only gave me a hard long stare and I couldn't even remove my gaze from his well structured face. We stared at each other's face for what seems like forever. And after a while, He adjusted his suit and with that, he walked away with his guard following behind."What a jerk!" I muttered, while watching his back.The least he could have done is to say "Hi"... I thought inwardly.I stood on my feet and cleaned myself before dragging myself into the workshop"Hey!" Alicia-my colleague greeted, cheerfully."Hi" I returned the greeting with a light smile.I was hoping no one saw the incident that transpired between Rodney and I just now. But hold on, what the heck was he doing in this neighborhood. He's not supposed be in this area walking freely without hiding his face or something.I felt a tap on my shoulder and I jerked up immediately.Oh.. Alicia was still talking."Why did you zone out? " She asked"What were you thinking about?" She added.I just smiled and shook my head."It's nothing Alicia" I replied, faintly.She rolled her big eyes on me and I laughed."You know you look funny when you do that" I told her, still smiling.I told her but she only shrugged. I knew she was not satisfied with my reply, she's the only person I confined in, she truly cares about me and I do appreciate that most times. But telling her I was embarrassed by the guy i love with all my heart is out of it. She wouldn't even believe me, she might say it was one of my daydream.I changed into staff wears and headed out take orders.Working was moving smoothly but I couldn't stop thinking about my encounter with Rodney earlier. I never imagined to meet him in suchandurd manner. Though, I normally heard he's so arrogant but I never believed it until today. But nevertheless, I still count myself lucky.Meeting him this morning was just so great! A wide grin plastered on my face while I reminisced how I had hugged him tight to myself, maybe he wouldn't have pushed me away had it been I didn't jump on him, but I couldn't contain my happiness.I laughed out loud when I remembered how hehad pushed me, causing me to land my ass on the floor. So funny!I was quiet surprised when I realized that customers gaze were on me. "What's up with them? " oh.. the laugh? Was it that loud? I asked myself.I bowed a little and they all continued with their businesses.I quickly turned to leave, feeling ashamed of myself.I was on my way to the staff quarter when I bumped into Alicia. Thank goodness the hot coffee she was carrying didn't pour on me."Jeez"I groaned."Sorry about that" Alicia quickly apologized and walked past me."Clumsy Mara" I muttered to myself before leaving for where I was going.I returned to my seat after giving the customers their orders and all of a sudden, everywhere became silent.Huh?What could be the problem? I sprang on my feet and stepped out to satisfy my curiosity. And there he was, standing gloriously with hisboth hands tucked in his trouser pocket and looking more handsome than earlier. I saw this face this morning but it was not as handsome as this one I am staring at right now. So it was not an imagination after all, I really saw him this morning."But what is he doing here in this old fashioned coffee shop?" I murmured.I was lost staring at him that I didn't even notice Alicia presence.She was also drooling at the sight before her-Only a blind person wouldn't drool right now.My heart trembled as soon as reality hit me.He's here to arrest me?Oh my... He's really here to arrest me for jumping on him earlier today.Oh no..What do I do?My hands became sweaty as I took my eyes to somewhere else, avoiding his eyes.Gazes from all angle were centered on him but he seems less bothered as he just kept his straight face.He suddenly made a move and started approaching where Alicia and I were standing.Please don't tell me he's here to arrest me for jumping on him this morning, tell me he's not here to punish me.Oh Mara.. You are doomed!I gulped nervous.I couldn't move, my feet were just glued to the tiled floor and my heart wouldn't stop racing so fast.Oh goodness.. What's this?What have I caused myself?We were just an inch away from each other.His gaze on me was so intensed that I felt shiver.He closed up the space between us, without removing his gaze from my face."Get me a cup of coffee" He finally ordered, in a cold and authoritative voice.I stared down at my own feet, unable to comprehend what he'd just said. And immediately I processed it, I scurried off to make his order, with Alicia behind me.You're screwed, Mara!Rodney Shaw's Pov I hummed to one of my music album, while stepped out of the bathroom, dripping wet. A white towel was wrapped around my waist.I strode to where the dressing mirror was standing to check my gracious self out.I stood in front of the mirror, taking in my perfect abs, my curly dark hair, that cute pink lips any lady would kill to have a taste.So perfect!"Why are you so perfect?" I asked myself. "It's because you are exceptional" my subconscious mind replied. "Thanks buddy" I told him and smiled.After a brief while, I was done dressing and ready to leave my room when a knock came by."Who's that?" I asked."It's Marian, sir" A maid replied."I came to tell you breakfast fast is ready" she added."Oh.. I will be there in a jiffy" I told her and she left.I gulped down the rest of my coffee and stepped out. I was replying a message on my cellphone when the gatekeeper wa
-Tamara- "Welcome home, Princess" I heard his baritone voice and I flinched.He switched on the light and I could saw his disgusting face, with a smirk plastered on it."Won't you greet papa?" He asked, still smirking but I only swallowed very hard."Look, he glanced up at the wall clock- this is 9:00pm. I have warned you severally about you coming home late, isn't it?" He asked with a cold voice now and without been told, tonight won't be good."Answer me!" He yelled and I flinched again."I..trekked..down home" I stuttered, with my eyes fixed on my feet."Wow.. You've done well, sweetheart" He said, sarcastically."You trekked from your working place to your home with an hour? " He asked, walking closer to where I was."Father, I am sorry... " but before I could complete my statement, he landed a slap on my left cheek and I think I saw stars."You are always sorry!""Aren't you tired of always being sorry?" He asked w
Jason POV "I miss you too, Mom" I said into the phone."C'mon Mom, I promise I will be home by weekend" I assured her for the second time, while fiddling with my car keys. "I will definitely..." I was saying but all of a sudden, someone bumped into me from my back, causing my cell phone to fell down and shattered on the floor.AlrightSomeone nose is getting broken tonight. I thought angrily.I turned abruptly as anger laced through me.OhA lady?"How dare you?" I roared and I could sense the fear in her eyes as her whole body vibrated.How could she be so stupid?"I didn't..mean..to.." She stuttered and I became more furious."Do you know what you just did?" I shot at her but she only stared down at her feet. "I am so sorry" She muttered and I scoffed."You are sorry? ""Would your sorry fix this?" I asked her switching my gaze to where the phone was lying on the floor.She was not saying anyt
Tamara POVI dallied into the phone's repairer workshop the following day, hoping he would be able to proffer a solution to the shattered phone.“Good morning, Jones,” I greeted, dolefully.“Hi Mara”“What's up?” He replied, cheerfully.I brought out the phone from my small purse and gave it to him, and a smile ran across his lips.“ You've got a nice catch? Huh,” He winked-smiling sheepishly.I respected him a lot ever since he had helped me repair one of the phones my dad spoiled, without collecting a dime from me.“Jones, I am not here for jokes this morning and as it is, I am running late for work already, so please answer me” I said solemnly.“Hm mm… Someone looks so sad,” He said as he kept checking the phone.I stood opposite his table while watch him checked the phone. I just pray it works.“Well… This phone cannot be repa
Rodney Shaw POV,I stormed into the mansion and headed straight to my room, ignoring the few maids who were greeting me.I got to my room and started throwing things,I kept ruffling my hair while I paced my room angrily.F·ck!I picked the bedside lamp on the nightstand and smashed it against the wall.“Argh” I groaned and began to throw the pillows on the floor.I really wanted to listen to her, I badly needed an explanation.Why did she leave me?How could she leave me in such state?I turned around abruptly and stared at my reflection in the mirror.'She left you when you needed her the most' Sienna words reeled through my mind and rage crept up in me again as I hit my knuckles against the mirror, which came shattered into pieces on the floor immediately.Blood oozes out of the wound, but I didn't care, the pain was nothing compared to my broken heart. I crouched to the floor, weeping profusely.
Tamara POV“You will become my personal maid for the next three months” He declared in a finality tone and my jaw dropped.“What? “ I bellowed.Is he being serious now?“You heard me right?” He said in a deep voice, while he removed a strand of his hair from his forehead.Well. I don't care now.“What do you mean I'll become your personal maid?” I asked with a frown.“I mean, I have another work, and you know that.” I blurted as a matter of fact, but he seems less bothered as his expression holds an impassive one.I am done for!“How do I cope? “ I lamented.“Well… I don't care,” He replied bluntly, and believe me when I say I feel like slapping senses into his numb skull.He didn't say anything, and I decided to speak up.“Please, I beg of you, I will become your personal maid but only on weekends” I pleaded as I rubbed
Tamara POVI plonked myself on the bed and allowed my eyes traveled to the white ceiling, staring at it blankly.'And also, you will be my date to Rodney city show' The phone owner words reeled through my mind and I scoffed. I plopped my head on a pillow, still not looking away from the ceiling.Of course, I should be happy,I meant, finally I was going to be attending his show.But my subconscious mind kept telling me it's not going to be good.And that jackass!I didn't even know his name.Why did I have this strange feeling about him?First, he asked me to become his personal maid and now, I should be his date to the city show. Gosh!Who does that?What exactly did he want?Oh, Mara!I just hope he was not going to sell me off.I heaved a massive sigh.Rodney, if I get to meet you tomorrow at the city show, then trust me you are going to hear it from me.You've really caused me a lot. I rolled
Tamara POVI stepped out from the bathroom and slowly walked around the guest room, admiring every bit of the interior in it. It really looks appealing.I got to where the shopping bag was lying on the bed, and I couldn't help the little smile that found its way across my face.That jackass…What was his name again?Jason! Yes, Jason.I heard that from one of his employees.He might be a jerk,But I think he really has a great sense of fashion.We just arrived from the biggest shopping mall in the City, and without asking if I liked them or not, he picked the dress, shoes, clutch and even jewelry. He picked everything for me by himself, all I did was to watch him.I brought out all the content from the shopping bag and smiled broadly again. I've never seen such a beautiful dress like this before.The red gown fits me perfectly as it helps to reveal my curves. I twisted my lips as I scrutinized myself in the dressing mir
