At night I was still in the mansion and my attention was focused on Steven who looked at me as if I was a meal that could only be served at the table once.
I just ignored him and continued wiping his expensive vase at home. His antique collections looked so expensive and I am so scared that I would break them.
I glanced at Steven again and immediately looked away when I saw that he was still looking at me intently while holding a glass of wine in his left hand.
'Gosh! What kind of man is this? I said to myself.
Why is he staring at me?
I finished what I was doing and left. It's past 8 in the evening so I can go to sleep because I will call my son who I haven't seen for three days now.
But I was having a hard time while putting back the cleaning supplies inside the drawer box.
"My God! Why is it so tight?" I am sweating enough because the box is loaded and I can't put these things properly.
While I was busy putting the things back to the box, I heard Steven sneeze behind me. I immediately stood up and blushed when I realized that he was watching me while my ass part was up for bending.
"What are you doing?" he asked while sweating.
Why is he sweating? The AC is good.
"I'm returning these things inside but I can't do it because it's loaded and tight," I said.
"Tight?"
"Yes. It’s tight and f-full," I innocently replied.
I saw his face reddened. 'Wait! What were we talking about?' I feel embarrassed when I realized something.
Steven sat down to arrange the things in the box and after, he turned to me.
"There.. It fits perfectly even though ..." he swallowed for a while before continuing "tight" and he left as if I have a contagious disease.
Okay, what was that?
I immediately went to my room straight to the bathroom. I plan to take a bath first before calling my son.
When I’m done, I went out while wrapping the towel around my body.
I screamed loudly when I saw Steven inside my room and sitting on the bed.
I saw how he looked at me from my feet up to my face and I blushed when it sink to me that he’s here in my room. I couldn't look at his eyes and I held the towel tightly as if I was afraid it would fall off.
"What/What," we said it together.
"What... What are you doing here?"
"Ahm--.... Wake up early tomorrow. We need to go to the grocery. The fridge is empty," he said and left blushing.
I was confused as hell. He knew I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow so why does he have to say that and came here into my room? And we? As in us? Going to buy groceries tomorrow? No way.
I chose to ignore him and dried my hair before calling Hivo.
The next morning I woke up early to cook. I also don’t know why all the days I’ve been here at his house, he’s been here too.
I mean, I know that he’s a busy person and it’s seldom for him to stay at his house.
I also didn’t hear him calling anyone else which is weird because since I started working here, he was always busy on his cell phone and talking to someone else.
Steven is the typical boss who is rude and arrogant. Since I started working as his maid, he already scolded me a lot of times that is why I wanted to give up in my first week here.
So I don't know if he's just bored and started talking to me as if he hadn't scolded me before.
So basically I always cook for him because he’s just here at home. Good thing I know how to cook. I am more thrilled to be told that I am good at cooking than I am beautiful.
I mean, deeeym, complimenting my culinary skills is way more beautiful than how I look.
"What are you cooking?" I stiffened as I felt Steven behind me and looked at the food I was mixing.
His head is on my shoulder and his breath hits my cheek. I was taken aback by his actions.
"S-Sir .. your request," I said and move way from him and pretending to find something near the table.
He noticed me avoiding him so he frowned which made me nervous. I stared at his frowning face and I couldn't help but to compare his handsome face to our son cause that’s how Hivo looks like especially if he’s frowning.
I can see the way my son looks when he doesn't like something and what Steven was giving me are exactly the same. 'Sh*t! I said to myself.
Hivo is indeed his son. There’s no question with that.
"Why are you avoiding me? Do I stink?" Steven said and glared at me.
Why is he angry if I avoided him?
"What? O-Of course not sir. I’m not avoiding you," I lied and slowly stepped closer to him. I took the spatula and stirred the food in the bowl.
"Tss..." he hissed and took my hand and accompanied me to stir the food.
I was just silent as I felt him and my heart was beating so hard when I felt his lips on my neck.
"Sir .. what are you doing?" I close my eyes when his lips touch my shoulder.
"I’m helping you," he said in his deep and husky voice as his lips kissed my neck down to shoulder.
I slowly moved a little away from him and stared into his lustful eyes who was looking at me.
"What now?" his face was already frowning as he looked at me.
My goodness, he’s frowning again, and all I can see was our son’s face.
If my friends saw it, they will surely say the same. Because it's undeniable that the two looked exactly the same.
"I'm sorry sir but I’m not comfortable," I said. He sighed and sat down in the chair near the table.
"I was rejected. I'm that handsome, rich, and handsome again yet rejected?" I heard him mumbling which is why I laughed a little.
"I'm beautiful too," I chuckled after I say that.
"What did you say? You're beautiful?" he said looking at me earnestly.
"Yes," I replied while holding back my laughter.
"Really? Beautiful?" he said while examining my body. When his eyes landed on my face, I saw the movement of his adam's apple.
"Is it not?" I politely asked him.
He blushed and looked away. "Pretty," he said and immediately averted his gaze as he put his hand on his neck.
When I saw that he’s no longer looking at me, I laughed softly without making a sound and then handed him the food.
While we were eating, I could feel Steven stares sometimes and I just pretended not to notice it.
I went to their garden and watered the plants. For a man like him, it's amazing that he has a garden at home. Just cute.
While I’m busy, suddenly, he came again with the coffee I made earlier.
His face was dark while looking at me. At first, he was just standing in the distance and watching me. He put the coffee on the table before approaching me.
‘Why does he looked so angry? Did I do something he didn't like?' I asked myself.
He placed both his hands on my shoulders and I gasped for his sudden move.
He bent over because he was taller than me and his eyes were dark as if it’s digging into my soul through his stares.
"Are you seducing me?" he asked and I was shocked.
"Huh? .. me? Seducing .... you?"
Come one, how? I was just watering the plants and didn’t do something bad.
"Yeah... What else? It's obvious that you were seducing me," he said.
I want to laugh but he might explode. If our son inherited some of his traits, I already know his reaction would be I laugh at him.
"I'm sorry sir but no sir," I said politely.
"Of course you are! Stop lying... I know that you're seducing me,” he insisted on what he wanted to happen.
My God, son, you inherited that habit from your father. Maybe if we were in the same house, with our son, I’m probably having a headache. Wait- what am I thinking. Erase that!
"No sir. Not really. If I'm seducing you then .." I deliberately hung up what I was going to say and leaned closer to him so that my lips could reach his ear.
"I would have been naked now," I said in my seductive tone but what I did was wrong because I was the one who suddenly got hot.
His whole face turned red and he immediately turned his back on me and entered the house. Because of what he did I couldn’t help but laugh. He's impossible.
'Looks like mama will enjoy teasing your daddy son,' I whispered in the air while looking at Steven's receding bulk.
I closed my eyes and touched his chest. I didn't realize that I was slowly retreating because of Yenro's lips attacking me. Before I lost my senses, I used my remaining strength to avert my face from him, which broke our kiss. "I'm not going to church this week." I said and even though my legs were shaking from what we did, I still managed to step my feet to get out of his presence. Wow Amanda! Have you been able to escape from that temptation yet? I should give you a reward. Since then, I haven't been able to look at Yenro again. I never thought that he could break my routine with just one kiss. "Is everything alright? Have we bought everything?” I asked "Why can't you look at me?" I closed my eyes because here he is again with his demand that is difficult for me to refuse. What's going on and he's slowly getting me to follow his wishes? This is not you Amanda. "What are you talking about?" I even faked a laugh just to stay compose. I'm nervous. "Look at me then," he dema
"Am I doing it right?" I looked at Yenro and saw him staring at me. No. I'm not doing it right.He has put the vegetables that I washed earlier in the mixing bowl and the mixture is fine.That prick is picking on me.He's a bully.I frowned and went back to cleaning the rice.I felt Yenro's presence behind me. I was horrified when I felt his body as he slid his two hands to my hand while I am busy washing the rice."You're doing it right, darling."I suddenly felt heat in my body and felt like I was going to get burned by Yenro's caresses.Using his hand, we washed the rice and cook it.I walked away from Yenro because I’m feeling different. I returned to my seat while my cheeks are burning hot because of what happened earlier. He was just smiling while staring at me."Stop smiling," I said with a frown.A smile spread across his lips. This man knows how handsome he is. And he's using his charm for me to beg on my knees.No Yenro. I know your goal."A-Are you coming with Seteven to th
"What are you doing here?" I asked angrily.He did not say anything. He just shrugged and went to our living room and sat down.How rude!"What are you doing here, Yenro?"Why is he here?"Do you have some beer here?" he didn't answer my question.."How did you get in? You're not welcome here."He turned to me. His jaw tightened and he clearly didn't like what I said."I welcome myself here. Welcome home, myself." He sarcastically said. I looked at him."You jerk! Get out of my house."His face was dark and he was staring at the object on the table. I see his biceps running upwards because he's breathing drastically.I hate his guts. I hate him for making me feel nervous. I hate him for making me guilty for no reason."Why did you let Steven stay in your room?"I frowned. So he was here a while ago?"What is it to you then?"His lips parted. He couldn't believe that I answered him that way. I hate this man. "What the fvck Amanda! You're a woman! Yet you let him stay in your room. Are
I moved his hand on my lips in disgust. He angrily punched the wall. What the hell is he thinking? "What! Stop it you bastard!" I raised my voice to him. "Stop being stubborn and let me clean your lips." "Do you have a problem with my lips? Are you going crazy?” His jaw tightened as he turned to me. He hardly catch his breath. I want to provoke him but I am stunned by the emotion I see in his eyes. “This is b*llshit!” He slammed the door behind me and left. He’s going crazy but I think I am the one going crazy because when he got out of the door, I sat down on the floor cause my heart won’t back to its normal beating. I don't know what Yenro is doing. I'm sure of only one thing. I’m acting differently when I’m with him. I'm afraid because it might bring me to a different situation. I don’t want Steven to leave me. I'm still studying and when he doesn't want me anymore, no one will give me money. I'm scared to death. I never went back to the gym. I just texted Steven that I’m
I wanna say, you're the worst but I can't tell him that. Yenro is being sweet this day. I don't have the heart to say bad things to him when he did nothing but help me. "Let's start eating?" I nodded and took some soup that I haven't tasted in a long time. It' sounds exaggerated to say but now, I understand the feeling of people crying because of the food. It's not because they've eaten the food they struggle to eat every day. It's because of the feeling that they remembered someone or something because of that certain food. I only realized the tears in my eyes when Yenro wiped them with his hand. He did not say anything. He was just in front, looking at me and smiling. "You like it?" I nodded. "Does it hurt?" I shook my head. "Then I assume you're happy. Too much that it hurts. That's why you're crying." I said nothing more. I ate quietly and filled myself with foods that I rarely taste. Even if I had to buy them, I still don't know how to make something like this. I us
"We have a game this Saturday. Wanna come?” Steven brushed his lips in my ear causing me to tingle. "Hey, stop it!" I laughed and pushed his head away. He frowned so I laughed even harder. “Ehem!” A sound of tease stopped us. Steven and I turned to him together. It was Yenro. "Hey man! What's up?” I looked away when Yenro looked at me. "What time tomorrow?" he asked Steven. "Maybe 8?" He nodded and looked at his watch. “Kael is looking for you. He said he had something important to say." Yenro said. "What?" He shrugged and glanced at me. "Shit! I still have a class!” Steven complained and turned to me. "I need to go," I smiled and nodded slightly. "Are you okay here? You have two more hours before your next class starts.” Yes. I still have 2 hours but he doesn’t need to worry about my sake. I’m fine. "It's fine. I'm just going to study," my boyfriend nodded gently and kissed me on the forehead. "Alright. Call me when you need me.” He said. "Okay," I said. He finally lef
How did I become the highest? I didn't pass anything yesterday.I turned to Yenro and saw him smiling at me. He slowly raised his hand and clapped so that our classmates will also clap."Get your paper," he whispered.I looked in front and saw the instructor handing me the paper.I stood up in shock and slowly approached our prof. I am trembling as I took the paper and I saw that it was Yenro's handwriting."Congratulations Ms. Ilagan!” Ms. Valde said and my classmates including Yenro applauded again.I looked at him and he winked at me.I returned to my seat. This is absurd. I didn't answer anything yesterday.After I returned to his side, he immediately faced me while ma'am was now writing on the board."I know you didn't review the notes because of me. I'm sorry," he said. Instead of being happy, I glared at him.But I chose not to answer and listen to our prof. I’m mad.What does he think he is? Why did he do that? For what? So that I owe him something?I'm not the mood til’ the
How many days did papa not come home? I held my breath. I don't know where to look for him now. I looked down from my notes and read it. I didn't sleep enough to wait for dad last night and I forgot to review my notes too. I’m so dead. "What are you doing?" I almost jumped in shock when someone suddenly whispered in my ear. Annoyed, I turned to Yenro. What is he doing here? "What are you doing here?" The corner of his lips rose. "You're calling me Yenro?" he said comfortingly. He raised his eyebrows. What if I call him by his name? Is he nuts? "It's your name. Naturally!” I replied auspiciously. “Okay.” He said softly. I took my stuff and tortured him. "It would be better if I just leave. You're disturbing me!" I said and marched off. I don't look at him but I can feel his every gaze behind me. I continued walking until I met Steven. He's smiling from ear to ear with his friends. I didn't call him because I don't want him to disturb me while I'm reviewing my notes for my qu

Ben looked at me because the man next to him him pointed at me. I quickly put my notebooks in the bag because I’m going to leave. I don't want anyone to look at me. "There you are. Hivo is looking for you." I was surprised when Hannah, the sister Steven, appeared in front of me. I nodded and went straight to the gym because Steven was there. I know Steven
