His Addiction

Chapter 6 ✔

Gina's POV 

After I'm done cleaning most of the rooms on the second floor, I check the time to see it's almost lunch time already, I didn't have breakfast this morning and i'm starving. I keep my cleaning cart in the hallway and proceed downstairs to find Lauren and Carla but decide against it and instead I decide to go to the kitchen myself.

I open the kitchen door to see a charmingly handsome man with long black hair tied up in a bun, he is extremely attractive and really tall and built but not anywhere near Jaxon, he has on an apron and seems to be cooking something which smells amazing.

But my star struck self keeps staring at him dreamily and wouldn't move away from the door. He chuckles slightly in amusement noticing my checking him out stare and then he clears his throat "come on in tesoro, don't be shy." he says with a huge playboy grin on his face.

I immediately regain my composure before walking into the kitchen to take a seat in one of the kitchen stools as he continued making what seemed like pasta. "So I assume you're new here?" I nod watching him as he chops the vegetables skillfully. "What's your name querida?" I notice he has an accent and has been calling me endearments in Spanish so I assume he's a latino.

"I'm Gina....Gina hernandez and I'm the newly employed cleaner." I explain after realizing I didn't even say anything or introduce myself. "Well I'm Marco Rivera and I'm the chef here." He says with a grin while still chopping the veggies. "Wait Gina as in Regina Hernandez right?" He asks suddenly making me frown a little.

"Yes..." I drag out while giving him a quizzical look.
"So you're a Latina?" He asks, his eyes lighting up in excitement.
"Well yes, but by birth. I'm fully American in nature." I say. "Well more like I'm an orphan... and I never knew my birth parents, my name is the only thing they left me with." I explain sadly my eyes drooping low after he gave me a quizzical look.

"So what's your full name Gina?" He asks after coughing awkwardly at my pathetic story. Maybe I'm being an inconvenience, I don't exactly talk about myself to people which is really uncomfortable for me but Marco seems like someone I can trust and confide in. " Regina Louisa Hernandez." I say looking up at him.

"Wow, you have a nice name." He says giving me a warm smile. "So Gina are you hungry?" He asks changing the subject. I nod my head in excitement. Right then, as if on queue my stomach growls loudly making my face heat up in embarrassment.

"Awwwn no need to be shy querida." Marco says amused while dishing the food into a plate. Right at that moment the door opens up as Lauren and Carla come in laughing about something they were discussing, the smile on their faces remain as they look over to Marco and I.

"Marco is our lunch ready yet..I'm starving, I could eat a horse with all the cleaning and scrubbing I've had to do." Carla exaggerates dramatically, while Lauren and Marco give her looks of amusement and disbelief.

"Oh hi Gina, how's your first day so far." Lauren greets with a smile acknowledging me.
"Its been ok, thank you Ma'am." I say shyly returning her smile.
"Oh honey you can call me Lauren." She comments offhandedly as she and Carla each take a seat on the stools beside me.

"So Gina are you hungry or what.... Marco what's taking so long with the food?" Carla asks exasperatedly seeing that Marco has served me a plate and I was yet to dig in and he hasn't served theirs yet.
"Relax Carla mia...what am I saying?....I forgot you have zero patience when it comes to your stomach, fat ass foodie." Marco jokes with a huge grin on his face.

After dishing out theirs he keeps a plate of pasta each on the countertop for Lauren and Carla.
Carla scoffs as she picks up her fork to dig into her food, while the rest of us watch in amusement.
"This is so good." Carla moan her mouth filled with food. "Marco how can you make pasta this good?"  She cries out stuffing her face with more food. Marco smirks smugly while Lauren and I stifle our laughter.

After our lunch and enough goofing around everyone goes back to their various stations leaving marco to clean up. I'm then assigned by Mr Humphreys to do Jaxon's laundry. I pick up Jaxon's laundry basket from his bathroom and making my way to the laundry room here on the second floor.

I look at the washing machine which seems a little too complex for me to handle as I try to figure it out. It gives me a hard time as I try to work it and I end up being soaked from head to toe as water from it splash on me making me wet before I'm even done with half the laundry.

After I'm done with the laundry, I know I can't go downstairs like this so I decide to wash and dry my uniform and undies while tying a towel. I then proceed to go clean up in Jaxon's bathroom since most of the rooms on the second floor are locked. Yes I know it's risky chance to take, but I have no other choice, it's either go downstairs with my wet and sticky body or clean myself up in Jaxon's bathroom.

Besides I'm not sure he comes back home this early and everyone is busy in their stations and also what's the worst that can happen. After I'm done prepping myself I push all other thoughts away while going over to Jaxon's bathroom.

The bathroom is so huge and the decor is exquisite, it even has a door that leads to the walk in closet. When I was cleaning Jaxon's room I stared at everything in awe. His room, bathroom and walk in closet all have green decor, seems like his favorite color is green. I can't even be surprised the color of his eyes are green after all, just like my favorite color is grey the color of my eyes and it suits him well.

After I'm done showering, drying my hair and cleaning the bathroom again. I totally forgot I had left my uniform in the laundry room while I search frantically for it, I look at my reflection in the mirror, the towel I had on barely covered my plus size body, it stopped mid thigh and hugged my figure. I sigh in frustration and cuss myself internally for leaving both my uniform and underwear in the laundry room.

My waist length hair covered my shoulders and back so I'm thankful for that as I try to gain a little courage to be able to leave the bathroom and head back to the laundry room. I have no idea why I'm panicking since there's clearly no one on this floor and I'm the same person that sneaked into Jaxon's room earlier.

I open the door of the bathroom stepping out of the it as I shut the door only to turn around and find Jaxon holding his phone to his ear with his back to me, I freeze up with a gasp escaping my lips from the shock as my heart sinks into my stomach in fear, he probably heard my gasp as his back visibly tenses before turning around immediately, his face void of any emotion as he stares at me intimidatingly and I cower in fear.

"Yes, I'll get back to you later....thank you." Jaxon speaks to the person at the other end of the line before clicking his phone shut. My fear rapidly increases when he starts walking up to me menacingly with his eyes raking all over my barely clad body, with his expressionless face hardening with each step he takes. Fuckering fuckity fuck fuck this is bad.
