ALIYA TORRES
A good night's rest.
A good night's rest was when you spent the rest of your night cuddling with the man you like in nothing but your panties.
A good night's rest was when you woke up in the middle of the night to find a handsome gorgeous man sleeping next to you with his arm entangled on your waist possessively.
A bad morning however was when you woke up expecting to find the same man who did wonders to your body, gone as if yesterday hadn't happened. I stared at the empty space next to me wondering if yesterday was indeed real, wondering if what I felt was real.
I pulled the covers noticing that my shirt was still on and that did scare me as I started to question whether I was dreaming everything that happened yesterday or not. But Ethan…Ethan Carter had this sort of smell. A rare cologne that always made me aware of his presence.
As if proof that he was indeed here last night, I breathed in his perfume,..pure masculine scent that composed of sandalwood.
Like a kid who had been to Disney world, I woke up feeling ecstatic. I couldn't help it when I grinned from ear to ear and when I blushed everytime I thought of how his tongue worked wonders on my body.
I blushed hard remembering how he had called me beautiful. I had me been called beautiful before but let's just say when it came off of his lips and the way he said it, my heart beat faster and faster threatening to escape from my ribcage.
I spent a while lot of time cooped in the bathroom, touching every inch he had licked and bit. Once I was done, I comb my hair wrapping it in a small bun before yet again I wore my maid's uniform.
I went to the kitchen to help prepare breakfast before starting my usual chores like cleaning, doing the laundry, the dishes watering the plants and getting leaves out if the pool even though you to now I wasn't an avid swimmer.
I would have to rectify that, maybe, tell Jai to teach me when he wasn't busy?
I hummed a soft melody being greeted by an already awake Mila working her way in the kitchen.
'Well, well you look happy", she commented but I couldn't help but smile. Suddenly the feeling if being…loved-could I say it was live though? Ethan Carter only kissed me and I was already way in my head thinking about love.
But there was love because yesterday I had acted in the most uncanny way just to get him on my bed. Now that I thought about it, I did like him and more. He was the first guy to make me feel this way as if I were – a woman. A beautiful woman.
'I'm always happy", I chirped taking the pickles out if the fridge and the bread from the pantry.
'You are but not in the morning. You are always cranky in the morning. Goodness is there something I should know?" Mila wiggled her eyebrows curiously and I looked away afraid of giving in and telling her what it was that happened and how I felt at the moment.
'I'm just happy, that's all. It's a lovely morning"
'Mmh, it's a lovely morning but I didn't sleep a wink",she complained chopping the pickles harshly against the wooden board,"I kept on hearing noises every now and then"
'What noises?" I asked in haste afraid that old and wise Mila had already put two in two together and discovered everything.
'Racoons maybe. I have to tell Jai to check the trash cans, maybe while we are at it we could get a tranquilizer gun"
'What? Don't you think that's dangerous for mere racoons?" I asked putting the slices of bread into the toaster.
'They are vermin that's what they are. Perhaps I'll be killing them, one dart and they'll be knocked out completely before we throw them out"
A tranquilizer gun was too dangerous for my liking and perhaps if only Mila knew that there were no racoons and it was me and Ethan, bit would she have a heart attack.
'If you say so", I said getting the bread out and placing the bread on the tray.
Mila worked on the bacon and the eggs, placing all of them on different plates and afterwards to the tray. Ethan had a rather large appetite when it came to breakfast.
He would always complain that he didn't have time for breakfast but once Mika convinced him to atleast grab a bite he would wipe the plates Emory leaving nothing on the tray not even a drop of coffee.
Once everything was set, U eyes the tray then Mila before I boldly suggested,
'Can I take it to him?"
'You sure?" She asked quite surprised. I wouldn't blame her though, Ethan and I did have a few differences here and there and there was always bound to be an argument at the end of the day.
'Yes, I'm sure. He's not a monster who will bite my neck and feed off my blood, Mila", I said cheekily.
'It's not that am afraid of. You are always clumsy around him, what if you trip and fall again? Heaven knows I cannot tolerate Ethan's yelling in the morning"
'I'll be careful", I promised gripping the edges of the tray in my hands with a smile.
He would be very happy to see me, U was sure of it. The fact that I was also so desperate to take him breakfast just so I could see him was unlike me but needless to say, it would all be worth it. Because I liked him, I liked seeing him, even though he did piss me off at times, I was always anxious when it came to seeing him.
I ascended the stairs with the utmost care, being cautious not to trip or drop anything.
Once I got to his bedroom, I knocked. A rather loud knock if you ask me.
'The door's unlocked!" I heard him yell and I pushed the door with my foot entering his room.
Just like I imagined, his scent lingered in his room as he stood by his floor length mirror tying his tie.
'I've brought you breakfast", I announced happily wishing that he would turn around and atleast spare me a glance.
'Okay. You can leave it by the nightstand",he said all the while his eyes glued to the mirror.
I found that rather disconcerting considering that just yesterday he considered me as something precious…to him. All had it all been in my head?
'Do you need anything else?" I asked trying not to sound as if I was affected and a tinsy bit heartbroken by his indifference.
'No, that's all. You can leave",he spoke bluntly and I stared at his face reflected from the mirror.
His back faced me and I searched for his eyes in the mirror. He didn't give a hoot if I standing there or I left.
'Ethan I-'
'Sir. Am your boss, Miss Torres and I expect you to refer to me as such",he spoke and my eyes almost if not, popped out of their sockets.
I felt as if I had just been splashed by a bucket of cold water even as I stood there feeling and looking desperate.
'Again if that's all, you can leave",he added prickling my heart to a thousand pieces.
