More Than A Maid

Bella’s POV.

“Okay, Okay. Let’s take a break” Peter suddenly announced.

We had managed to continue reading even after I agreed to date him. It’s our first time; we literally do not know what it means but that’s what people who likes themselves does. Dating.

The one whom I’m working for is now my boyfriend. Let’s see how far this relationship goes … amidst Peter’s rich parents certain disapproval and Monica’s trouble.

“I was about to say the same thing. Yeah, let’s take a break.” I smiled at him..

“I’ll use the moment to go prepare the dinner”

“Wait a minute Bella” He said.

And came closer to me, he held my hand and intertwined it with his. My heart raced, and I blushed

“Yeah, we could go out of the room together if that’s what you want” I told him…

“And I could join you in the kitchen, so you won’t feel bored.”

“What?” I exclaimed. So this is what’s dating is all about.

Lovey dovey and stuffs.

“To be honest, I’ve always wanted to know how to cook by myself; incase of necessity. I don’t wanna be one useless guy, who is always running to you for basic help” Peter said and I laughed.

“Your mother is employed me and she’s paying for the job”

“I know right. But I still wanna learn alot of stuffs from you and be your assistant” He insisited.

“Fine” I rolled my eyes.

He followed me to the kitchen..

“Bella?” He suddenly called my name like he has something to say.

“Uhm?”

“Earlier you talked about your rich aunty coming over.. to uhm, your aid. You and your mother” I noticed that he avoided not to stammer. I don’t know why he looked serious about it.

“Yeah, she’s also coming over because of the secret investigation stuff. Uhn, like I told you… she’s very dear to us and now that we are being in contact with her, she won’t hesitate to help” I said and I observed that he forced a smile.. What is it?

“By chance, what you mean by.. she won’t hesitate to help; does it mean… You’ld uhm.. leave? like soon?” He asked.

“Huh?” Hold on, I didn’t think about that.

“You know, your aunt won’t abandoned you again neither will she let you continue to work as a maid”

Peter continued..

“You are right” I nodded in affirmation and smiled; “Aunt Flora will most likely fulfill the stuffs my Dad couldn’t complete before he gave up the ghost.”

“Stuffs like?” I don’t know what’s wrong with Peter, yet I answered him anyways.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“My mother has always wanted to own a store. I can’t really least everything you know.. but one thing I’m sure if is that Aunt Flora will be there to fix the good stuffs in our life. A good shelter etc. In short, we’ll be rich again..” I boasted to him.

“Which simply means that, you won’t have to work here anymore?” Peter said.

“Exactly” I excalimed.

“Literally the end of our new relationship” He said.

“Huhh?” I looked at him.. “You want me to remain your maid forever and ever?”

“No! No, not at all” He said.

“Then what are you trying to insinuate? You should be happy for me when I resume living a good life not a maid life” I queried him.

“I am happy for you Bella. I.. I’m.. just afraid..” He Stammered.

“Afraid of what? Our relationship? You want me to choose our relationship to a good life? It’s the same thing Peter, you hope for me to stay here forever just because we like eachother” I fired back at him.

“No, I’m not trying to say you should choose our relationship over your family and good life. I’m afraid because we’ll barely see eachother”

“Hmmmn” I stared at him for a while. “Come visiting; I hope I will too because your mother has to approve it.. our relationship. That way, we won’t lose contact at all” I explained briefly.

“You live miles away, I’ll definitely pay you a visit; not withstanding whatever my mother says” Peter said.

“It’s not easy though… let’s see how things goes Peter” I told him.

“Then there’s technology too, we’ll never lose contact” Peter said and I smiled.

“You are right”

“Less I forget, I.. uhm.. can I get you a new cell phone?”

“What??” My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. “Are you out of your mind?”

“No! I’m not”

“What are you thinking Peter?”

“I love you very much Bella and I can’t even think of what to offer you as a gift of accepting my proposal”

I gave him a weird look and shook my head.

“You don’t need to offer me anything to show how much you love me” I told him.

“But I noticed you need a better phone.”

“Oh so, as a billionaire son, you wanna buy me a new phone?” I asked sarcastically.

“Huhh.. yeah” He replied innocently.

“Oh thank you but I won’t accept that” I told him.

“Why won’t you?”

“Come on Peter, leave the kitchen already if you are really not gonna help me out here. ”

“We are having lovers chat too” He said.

I rolled my eyes. “Nah, it’s not a lovers chat, you are literally trying to boast about your wealth. That’s not love” I said.

“But I’m not trying to boast about anything…” He paused. “It’s Okay” He said, feeling a little bit disappointed.

Sorry, dear Peter.

I would love to have a new phone too but I just don’t wanna be a burden to you nor a gold digger.

In the kitchen, we talked about other stuffs.

As he assisted me in the kitchen like he said..
