Tamara POV
The driver drove into his mansion and halted in the parking lot.
Wow… There were so many cars.
He alighted from the car and I also did the same, still avoiding his nice-looking face.
Throughout the ride, I was nervous, and I felt like becoming invisible beside him.
I couldn't hide my excitement when he had suggested I should come with him, I nearly jumped on him. I mean, any normal lady would kill to swap position with me now.
“Holy crap!” I exclaimed under my breath, immediately I glance up. Is this a house or a castle? I trailed behind him as I couldn't help looking around the whole place in complete awe. I didn't notice we have gotten to the main entrance door, and I almost tripped. So clumsy!
I slowly stepped into the living room after him, and I could feel my breath choked in my throat at the sight before me. Goodness gracious! This was indeed heaven in earth.
This place was a hundred million times preferable to jackass house.
With my eyes still raking around every corner of the house, I slowly crouched to unbuckle the heels I was wearing when I heard him say. “You don't have to” I embarrassingly looked away, ignoring the sensation that was beginning to rise on my body.” You are welcome to my abode,” Rodney drawled, but I just nodded, taking my eyes to the tiled floor. “You will be staying in the guest room for the time being” He announced, and I nodded again. “Now come with me,” He ordered. I walked behind him as we ascended the stairs.
I couldn't help but watch his back.
I bet this man was not created on weekdays, I mean, how could he be so perfect!
We walked through the hallway, and he finally stopped walking. “Here, now go in,” He Instructed while pointing at a door. I glanced over at his face before I bent the doorknob, shakily. “Wow” I mumbled as I slowly walk in.
A guest room is even prettier than my room. I turned to look at him and I caught him staring at my back, leaning his back against the door with his arm crossed.
Damn!
Now he would know I have a flat ass.
“Thank you so much,” I managed to utter, looking down at my entwined fingers.
“You can call on a maid if you need anything” He simply says, ignoring my gratitude and without sparing me another glance, he stepped out of the room.
Immediately I shut the door after him, I screamed happily and started jumping from one place to another.
I couldn't be more happy.
My wishes were finally coming true.
I would be staying under the same roof with my celebrity crush!
But why is he helping you? My subconscious mind asked all of a sudden, and that got me. I sat quietly on the bed and stared blankly as I thought of an answer.
“Why are you helping me, Rodney?” I muttered under my breath.
I will have to ask him.
Gosh Mara!
You lose your senses at the slight sight of him, so how do you ask him?
I am screwed!
Well… You should enjoy your freedom while it lasts, my subconscious mind says again, and I nodded. You are right!
With that, I stood on my feet and began to check out everything in the room.
Rodney POV
(Michael Shaw mansion)
“How was your stay over there?” I asked, and he smiled, widely. “It was so fun, son,” He replied as he carried his glass of wine to his lips.
I nodded, picking on my food.
I wasn't hungry, though.
“Son” He called, and I looked up to face him.
“Don't you think it's time you stop this you're acting and singing stuff of yours, so you can take over the company soon” He tutors, and I took my eyes back to my food. What's he saying?
“Rodney” He called softly after the short silence.
“Dad, what are you..? “Hey fam!” I was cut off and we both turned to look at the person.
Oh, Sienna.
And that son of a bitch.
She strode seductively to the dinning while Jason follow behind her with a scowl on his face, and I scoffed.
As*hole!
Sienna got to where Dad was sitting, she pecked his both cheeks and I just looked away. “I miss you so much, darling,” She cooed, and I huffed.
She took her seat next to Dad and smiled at me.
"How are you, Rodney?” She asked, still smiling, but I only nodded.
“Hi Dad” Jason says after taking his seat.
“How are you, son?” Dad asks, and he only nodded with a light smile.
They both dished out their meal afterwards and started eating, silently.
“I hope you enjoyed your stay?” Sienna asked, after a short silence. “It was okay” Dad replied, simply.
Jason kept checking his phone, probably waiting for an incoming call. Abruptly, he stood up with his phone and scooted off the dinning room.
What's up with him?
I also stood up. “I will be back” and without waiting for their response I walked out the dining room
*****
I got to the facade of the building and saw him standing very close to the courtyard, yelling on top of his voice at whoever he was speaking to. “You should look for her. You dimwits” I heard him thundered.
Oh…
I tucked my hands inside my trouser pocket and slowly walked to his figure. “Hi brother” I called behind him, and he turned to face me boiling with rage.
He turned to leave as he brushed his arm against mine, but I dragged him back by his arm, making him returned to his previous position.
He swats my arm away and I grinned.
“I really want to meet your personal maid”
“Would you please help me?” I told him with a smirk and he growled. “Don't mess with anything that belongs to me, Rodney,” He shot at me and walked away.
We are just getting started, bro… I thought within myself as I also walked back into the building.
Alicia POV
I still can't comprehend what that jerk was trying to say that day. Today makes it the third day he had come to the coffee shop and spewed nonsense, but I still find it so hard to believe.
I begged him to explain things to me, but he was such a dunderhead. He just snubbed me and stormed off. Personal maid?
Could he possibly be saying the truth?
Oh, Mara..
I just hope you are not hiding anything from me.
Come to work already.
I'm missing you so badly.
I wiped my tears as I slowly alighted from the bus.
