Awake to my Mr Perfect

Chapter 8

WARNING!!! LITTLE VIOLENCE AHEAD.

After that day, I made Nathan pay up. He transfered the money to my account with invisible tears and sobbed as his hard earned money got taken away before his very eyes. That'll teach him not to mess with 'Raptor Dale'

Oscar and I got close but still, he couldn't figure out I was a girl, wow! I arrived at the estate really early every day just to drive him to work and leave later at night. It was exhausting having to deal with killers everyday but, the pay was worth it.

Each day, the roads would grow more dangerous. I had almost collided with a tanker once and thanked my swift fingers and legs for a job well done. Though exciting, it was also exhausting.

One day, I asked Nathan to join in on our ride and out of curiosity as to how amazing my driving skills were, he obliged. Little did he know that he would regret terribly.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I got down from the car."You screamed the whole time."

Nathan, whose dignity had been crushed, simply glared at me.
"You call that driving?" I simply shrugged. He made his way towards the door and I watched with a wicked smirk. That'll teach em to doubt, hmph!

I looked at my composed boss. With that style of driving everyday, surely he was already used to it.

"Don't toy with my employee!" He warned and walked away. I just stood there and wondered if the driving was that bad.

Oscar and Nathan discussed about work in the living room and I just watched. I knew they were speaking English but everything that came out of their mouth sounded like Latin or was it Greek? I couldn't tell!

I got too tired of doing nothing and decided to take a stroll. There was a swimming pool at the back of the house. The backyard was very huge and I wondered if it's space was measured in the same way as the house.

"I could throw a party here and my entire street could fit in." I said and got close to the pool. It was amazing how people swam so freely in water. I couldn't even hold my breath for 10 seconds. Thus, I never learnt how to swim. "I better stay away from the pool, I don't want to ..." My fears became reality as I slipped and fell in. I couldn't stay afloat and sunk in really fast. I kept sinking and wouldn't reach the bottom.

My plan was to reach the bottom and give myself a little boost in other to struggle to the top but it was just too deep.
'what the hell? Weren't residential pools supposed to be 5 feet deep?' I was slowly losing consciousness when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

Once we were out I breathed out heavily and coughed out every last drop of water that had evaded my body. I climbed out with my savior's help.

"Thank you!" I said.

"What were you thinking?" I looked up to see it was Oscar. He was the one who saved me. "You don't know how to swim yet you walked by the pool, should I call that bravery or stupidity?" He scolded and for once I felt shivers. Yeah, what was I thinking?

"I'm sorry!" I said through my teeth. Apologies didn't work well with me but this time, I knew I was wrong. It was understandable that he'd scold me. "Anyway, I ..." My words were cut short by the towel that suddenly popped out of nowhere and blinded my view.

"Dry up or you'll catch a cold!" Nathan said and handed one over to Oscar. "So, you do have a weakness!" He blurted out. "I almost thought you weren't human!" It was hilarious how he tried to shift the topic and also comforting.

Oscar shove the towel at Nathan and punched his head.
"Don't speak about people like that." He said and started walking away. "Kid, you better be careful. I won't pay a dime if you die so, better not die."
