The Dimitrescus x Fem! Reader

   You know, considering how friendly they've been lately, i thought they'd stop messing with me while i work.

    I was wrong.

    It's been two weeks since i played the piano for the girls, and my feelings haven't changed—whatever these feelings are.

    Something bubbles up in my chest when i'm around them, and it feels like there's butterflies in my stomach.I can't even really describe it properly because anything i can say is an understatement, and it simply won't do what i'm actually feeling justice.It's indescribable.

    I'm not even sure if i like it or not, to be honest with you, it's just super intense and it never ends in their presence, no matter what they do to me.

    As i said earlier, they haven't stopped messing with me, in fact it's gotten worse.

    Now they won't physically harm me, but mentally instead.

     They'll walk up behind an unsuspecting me and kiss the shell of my ear, leaving me a pathetic flustered mess.

     This is worse than anything they could ever do with those sickles.Sometimes i could practically see the steam radiating off my face, their taunting giggles not helping the matter.

    At least now they give me breaks, an hour a day where they specifically can't mess with me, per the lady of the castles request.

    At the moment, me and four other maids are standing in a line, waiting for the ladies to finish their breakfast.

    "Mother!We had a runner this morning!It was quite entertaining." The middle child said.

    "Indeed, mother! It gave us quite the thrill.We haven't had one of those in a while.." The youngest agreed, staring down at her meal while smiling, a sadistic look in her eyes.

     My heart thumped in my chest as it always does when they're around.I try to steer clear of their paths when working around the castle, and have even memorized their patterns.For example, if lady Daniela seems upset or angry, which is quite rare in itself, she'll head towards the library, so i know not to go in that area.However, this time of day, i literally don't have a choice but to be right next to them.

      The lady laughs,"I'm sure you girls enjoyed that."She pauses."I have a meeting later in the evening.I trust you three to keep the castle in order while i'm away." She says, eyeing the girls with uncertainty.

They sigh in annoyance and roll their eyes."Yes mother, we understand." They reply in unison.The lady smiles, her expression softening at their antics.They way she looks at them in adoration melts my heart, she truly does love her daughters."Good." She stands up, patting her lips clean of wine with a small rag.

The girls follow her lead and the other maids and i rush towards the table in response, picking up the plates and immediately heading to the kitchen.

Bela is the last to leave the dining room behind her sisters, sending me a quick glance and smile before turning away and leaving.

She sometimes even mouths a silent 'thank you' to me, but a small grateful smile is more than enough to make my day anyway.

     The other maidens don't take too kindly to me, jealous of the ladies obvious favoritism, but i don't mind.I don't have time for friendships anyway, since i'm usually so busy with work.Olivia and Wendy were nice though. Too bad they met the same fate as every other maiden that's ever worked at castle Dimitrescu.

I wish i could take a day off, every day has seemed to just repeat over and over, with little to no differences.Get up, make breakfast, do some chores, break, back to work, read, sleep.That's it.I'd be used to the teasing if i wasn't so infatuated with the girls too, but i'm sure at this rate i'll be over it in no time.
