ILayda's POV:
My eyes wined at what he said, to be fair I was shocked.
I felt a sudden drop in temperature seriously this thing has to get fixed. Oh, it is just his hand grabbing mine.
But wait, did he seriously called me cute? No, my head is playing tricks on me. Then I looked at him he was looking a little pissed. Did I do something?
I looked up and his eyes were so fixed on me, so I dropped my eyes to the floor because I got so embarrassed.
"Jack, you got everything you need man? Because Ilayda has to go, " Christian was addressing jack but holding eye contact with me the whole time.
"Yes man, I'm good". Jack looked a little unconformable, but he ends up leaving which I hated because now I was alone with Christian and God knows I hate when things like this happen. Therefore, I tried to leave but the silly me forgot that he was still holding me by the arm, and instead of being away from him, I was pushed back toward him and our faces were only a few inches away.
I tried once again to free myself from his hold but he was holding my arms so tight yet still, he did not hurt me.
"Where do you think you're going?" his question was so unexpected that I did not know what to answer.
"I...I need to eeh...clean the kitchen" words refused to come out of my mouth.
"Well I think the kitchen can wait a little bit, don't you think? Besides you're there the whole time I don't even get to see you" okay, wow how did we end up like this? Gosh, he is not even taking small steps, this guy is running.
I honestly thought of every possible answer but I could not think of anything to say.
"Why are you so red? Are you blushing?"
What?
Seriously?
Does he expect me to say yes or something?
I was starting to get angry but I was still embarrassed by our proximity. I looked at him and he was SMIRKING?
Oh, what I would give to keep that smile from his stupid face.
"Alright I won't embarrass you any further " oh what a gentleman I thought to myself " you can go to the kitchen or even take the rest of the night off just don't come out while my friends are still here they don't need to see you"
What? I was so shocked but mostly so hurt from his words, it is true I am just the maid but was he ashamed of me that bad.
Suddenly he released my arm, and without saying a word I went to my room deciding that I would clean tomorrow because my heart was so hurt that I couldn't do anything at that moment.
And to think that he, maybe likes me.
Why would he?
I'm just a poor, ugly ignorant maid it's what he sees when he looks at me, and to think that maybe after all the misery I've been through, I was maybe going to smile at last.
Thank God, Nona is coming tomorrow and I will not be alone with him anymore
Christian's POV:
I watched her leave without saying a word sadness was very visible in her eyes it hurt me but I had to make her leave I couldn't stand seeing jack next to her trying to hit on her every second, it made me so pissed.
I went back to the living room where apparently, everyone was having fun even jack accept me, I just stood there thinking of her. It usually takes me more than a couple of days to like someone but she is just different.
From the second that I kissed her when I was drunk, I could not get her out of my mind. I knew she was going to be uncomfortable so I didn't mention the kiss and I tried to stay away from her and damn it so hard but I just couldn't control myself any longer, when I saw the way jack was looking at her and touching I wanted to be the only one who can ever do that.
What I have for this girl is developing so fast that I don't know what to do, there is something about her that drew me to her and I still don't know why but I know one thing for sure
I would give anything to be able to taste her lips once again and to hold her and have her hand caressing me again like that night.
Fuck, she's going to make me crazy but I desire her presence, her touch, the look at her beautiful face, so much, I desire her to be next to me that I can barely hold myself when I'm with her.
Ilayda's POV :Today was a new day I tried to forget what happened yesterday and move on with my life because I don't need any extra drama in my life, that if I can call it a life. Since that awful night, I couldn't carry on with my life like nothing happened because everything I had was taken away from me and I couldn't do anything; the day my parents were taken away from me.At this moment in my life, I stand with nothing; no family, no friends, except Nona who is the closest thing to family and friends I have, I have no home, no love, I just work and breathe, sometimes death seems to hold much more mercy than this life that I'm leading. What can I possibly do with my existence; the answer remained unknown to me.I went to the kitchen to start working
Ilayda's POV:I was shockedI swear I did not see that one coming.He kissed me.He freaking kissed me. I do not know what to do right now.I pushed him hard because he was holding me so tightly."Stop, what are you doing? No!" the words coming out of my mouth expressed my refusal yet my body and my heart were totally on a different level, they were not refusing it actually they were welcoming the warmth I felt when I was with him, the safety and peace that washed over me when he grabbed me. However, I was not going to admit not even if they pull a gun on my head, because I know that this is wrong. F
Christians POV:I didn't know what to think, I was so shocked when I saw her standing at my door. She said she wanted to give me an answer I was so scared, I was sweating like hell, just hoping that she wouldn't refuse and she would actually give me a chance. I did not know what I would feel nor do if she says no.She looks nervous too, she was playing with her fingers I could sell that it wasn't easy for her either to tell me her decision,"I... came here to give you an answer you should know, that it's a little hard for me because I usually don't trust people that much I don't know if I trust you either but I think...I think that I'm willing to try." She said the last part with her eyes closed, god she is so cute, and then it hit me, what she said.I was shocked. Happy, but I am still shocked. I somehow thought that she would say no I was so scared. However, she said yes, I didn't know what to say so I let
Ilayda's POV:Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso came back home a couple of days ago. Mr. Elfonso went to the company as soon as he arrived and Mrs. Elfonso had a gathering with her friends at home, where she started to tell them about all the places she went to and all the expensive things she got. You know how can be a typical rich middle-aged woman.At the end of the day, I found myself in my room, this day went by pretty normal and I was a little tired so after taking my shower I went straight to my bed to get some sleep.I woke up terrified, the same as every other night, because of my nightmare but as I was trying to get out of my bed, something was pushing me and keeping me from getting up. I turned the lamp on my nightstand and I saw Christian, lying by my si
Ilayda's POV :It's been a week since Mrs. Elfonso spoke to me about the thing between Christian and me, and since that time I've been trying to stay away from him as much as possible, of course, I didn't tell him what his mother said I couldn't, and I couldn't tell him that I seriously considered breaking up with him, but I tried to not let my fears conquer me, I wanted to give myself a chance, to do something for me for the first time, but I still didn't want to lose my job so was increasing the distance between us and of course it didn't go unnoticed by him and I remembered that day when he got angry at me. he came sneaking to my room in the middle of the night while I was just getting ready to go to sleep." Christian what the hell are you doing here, what if someone saw you are you crazy""I couldn't help it sorry but I just missed you so fucking much I was really going
Ilayda's POV :what the hell?WHAT. THE. HELL. DID. SHE. JUST. DO?"Excuse me, what are you doing to my brother"Maribelle seemed very upset while the two other women seemed totally happy. Christian pushed Nathalie away from him."Sorry, I just missed the touch of your lips" she was caressing his lower lip with her thumb."Nathalie, please don't ever do that again" he took a step back and I was silently thanking God."But why? We used to kiss all the time""Well, used to, but now I-" Christian was interrupted by his mother."Nathalie, why don't you go to your room and take some rest, lunch will be served soon" Nathalie let go of Christian."You" I looked at Mrs. Elfonso and she was addressing me."What are you standing there doing? Go get their thing up to their rooms and them come to get lunch ready" I nod and went upstairs, Christian was giving me an apologetic look.
Ilayda's POV:Yesterday I fell asleep in Christian's arms, it felt like home I was at peace again. He was still asleep when I woke up and kept studying every little detail of his face, his forehead, his eyebrows, his long lashes, his soft shiny lips. God, he is so... beautiful.Sometimes I look at him and wonder what does he see in me I was a disaster while he's at the top, but I do know one thing; I'm falling deeper and deeper for him every single second. I just felt the urge to kiss him so I gave him a small peek in the chin trying not to wake him but he apparently started to wake up, I quickly went back to my place."You know baby this body is all yours feel free to stare as much as you want," he whispered in my ears with his husky voice which sent chills in my body."You were awake" it wasn't a question but he nods staring intensely into my eyes, I got a little embarrassed and I could feel my cheeks turning red s
Christian's POV :Every single time, this seems suspicious to me, the way she gets nervous each time Madame Dubois asks her a question, I can tell when she is lying, and she's lying each time she's been asked and I'm determined to know what she is hiding. I have the right to. I tried to be patient, and wait for her to tell me on her own. However, she never came to me; she never opened up to me. What I am about to do is bad but it is for her own sake. I LOVE this girl, and something tells me that she could be in trouble and I know her stubborn ass will never ask for help, so if I want to help her I'm going to help her in my own way, but I need to find out what is she hiding first.I went to the company, I also needed to leave the house ASAP that Nathalie girl won't let me breathe, she's like that gum stoc
