Aloof Detective's Lover ABS#5

Chapter 7

Lisa's POV

This is the most peaceful I have ever felt in these few years. I feel my mind is so much at ease and I don't have to worry about someone coming and slapping me in sleep or pouring ice cold water.

Slowly but peacefully, I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling and smiled. So it was not at all a dream or imagination of mine. It is true!

I am FREE!

And, Vincent is also real, he is not someone I fancied as my savior. All this feels so much like fairy tale. Just like a prince coming to save Rapunzel... I knew I always wanted a blooming romance. I loved the idea of Love! I downloaded so many... so many social networking sites and many more.

I still remember those days when I was so fun loving and adventurous, and everyone always thought that I am kind of a Tom Boy. But I always loved watching romantic movies, but because of our parents Liam absolutely abhor them and so we never watched it together. And my poor Lydia was always a study freak and was never interested in anything but books! So pathetically boring!

So, sneaked in the blanket I used to watch so many romantic movies. After watching Titanic, I wished god to send my Jack Dawson real soon. But the he should not die and leave me alone.

I don't know why but I feel, Vincent is my Jack... though a bit rude, aloof and uncaring, but he is not insensitive. I saw the concern in his eyes for me when my face was slightly burned my blow dryer. I felt his soft stroking the whole night that calmed me down. I heard his panicked voice when I got this attack. He can be the person who has so much anger with in him but still I feel he is the rise that I deserved from my crestfallen life.

I don't know whether love can take effect this soon in anyone's life. But I have watched movies where one sight was enough... But I believe one sight of anyone's face cannot be considered as love at first sight. I think just one insight of someone's character is enough to make anyone love that person. Life has weird ways of filling the gaps, my mother filled up the gap of my father as well. But, the gap that Vincent has created in my heart and placed himself royally within it, cannot be filled by anyone but him.

Stupid! You are thinking way ahead of the time. Just try to know what he feels at least.

Smiling, I got up from the bed to see the red spot on the bed sheet. Great! Morning started with this... Now I will have to wash the bed sheet. Sighing, I went to remove the bed sheet.

"Madam!" I jerked in fear and turned towards the door.

"Who are you?" I asked as I saw a young lady of my age coming in the with the tray in her hands.

"Madam, I am your caretaker." She said while smiling making me frown.

"Caretaker?" I muttered in confusion.

"Yes... Vincent, I mean Sir Vincent hired me just this morning to take your special care." She said and kept the tray on the side table while smiling shyly.

"But why? I don't need a caretaker. I can perform my own tasks." I said while being getting disappointed. I am not some disabled person who will need a caretaker!

"Yes madam. But he has already hired me for it." I groaned.

"Fine... I will talk to him. You can go and do your work. I will take bath and come." I said and went to pick the bed sheet but this lady stopped me.

"Madam, leave this to me. I will take care of it." She said diligently and took the sheet.

"I can do it myself. And anyways it is stained. Give it to me, I will do the needful." I said.

"Madam, this is my duty. I will do it." She said while smiling politely.

"But... What's your name?" I asked her name because I am going to talk to Vince about her.

"Snow." She said and went outside with the sheet.

"After bath I will talk to him. Why does he think that I need a caretaker?" I muttered and went to the washroom.

****

After cleaning up, I went out to look for Vincent. What does he think of himself? I don't need any caretaker... I am self sufficient. As I reached the living room, I saw Snow dusting the house.

"Where in Vincent?" I stopped and asked her.

"Sir is in his office madam. He specifically said no one should disturb him." I frowned again. Is he avoiding me by any chance?

"You don't worry about it. I will meet him in his office and he will have to see me." I said to which she frowned.

"But... Madam..."

"Don't worry. He is my lo... friend. And he will not be angry if I disturb him." I said and smiled slightly.

"But... Madam, his no one includes you specifically." She said making me look at her in shock.

"You are lying. He will never say something like that." I snapped and went my way before she can stop me.

Who does she think she is? Caretaker my foot! I know what she wants is Vincent. But I will talk to him and remove this leech before she suck all my blood. I went to his office and directly burst inside and looked at Vincent in agitation.

He looked up slowly with frown on his face. Later, he glared at me. Why is glaring at me when he is the one who made the mistake? Bring that caretaker who is also interested in him sexually and then expecting that I should not be angry. I will not spare him today... he gave me the worst morning shot. For once in these few years I was not distressed or tortured but still this should be the worst morning ever.

After closing the door firmly, I went to his table and glared at him.

"Why did you have to hire her?" I asked in anger.
