Rafe Cameron a man who I deemed untouchable and when I met him until I got to know him. When I did I realized he was a whole new person to me.
The stories I had heard about him before hand were completely false. I think I may like this new person I met.
I'll always be happy I was able to know the true him the side that most don't get to witness.
This story begins when I first began my job working for the Cameron's, a small job of being the help ended up being way more.
The Camerons' place was way the heck out there, like a good half-hour ride from the Cut. Soon as I left I said bye to my mom, I hopped on my bike and started pedaling like crazy.
The uniform they gave me was not doing me any favors, let me tell you. I was working up a serious sweat trying to get there fast.
My hair was flying all over the place as I pushed that bike as hard as I could. Strands kept brushing against my cheeks and getting in my eyes, but I just powered through it, focused on reaching the Camerons' as quick as possible.
I was really booking it, the wheels spinning fast beneath me. Didn't matter how uncomfortable I was, I was determined to get there on time. Just kept my head down and poured on the speed, watching the world zip by around me.
When I got to Tannyhill, I just leaned my bike up against the wall knowing it'd be safe there. I couldn't help but stare at the sheer size of the Cameron place, it was absolutely massive. I took a deep breath before giving the door a quick knock.
Ward Cameron himself answered, his face breaking into a big grin. "You're on time, thank you for coming! John B's told me so much about you." He ushered me right in, very friendly-like.
"It's good to be here, Mr. Cameron. I really appreciate you for giving me this opportunity." I said, trying not to let my nerves show.
"Ah, not a problem at all!" He guided me into the living room where his family was waiting.
"This is my wife Rose." he said, laying a kiss on the blonde woman's cheek. "And these are my daughters, Sarah and Louisa. I think you and Sarah might even be the same age." He says probably hoping we will become friends.
We were all settled in, but I could tell they were waiting on someone. Sure enough, Ward suddenly yelled.
"Rafe, get down here! We've got someone for you to meet!" Everybody but Ward kinda winced at the volume. "Sorry 'bout that, the kid never listens." Ward muttered.
I chuckled a bit knowing he sounded like my kind of guy. After a minute, the boy came strolling into the room.
"Rafe, this is our new maid. You'll see her around a lot." Ward announced.
"Hey." Rafe said, sounding real thrilled about it.
I couldn't help but notice his eyes, though - deep blue, almost mesmerizing. But I had to keep it together, you know? "Nice to meet you, Rafe." I said, flashing him a friendly smile.
"Yeah, whatever. Can I go now?" he complained.
"Yes, yes, you're excused," Ward sighed.
"You girls can head out too."he said directing at his daughter's.
Once they cleared out, Ward gave me the rundown and instructions for my cleaning duties and the supplies I'd need. Didn't take me long to get the first floor squared away, although that living room was a doozy. I headed upstairs, determined to power through the rest.
The last room on the list was Rafe's. I knocked, but there was no answer, so I just got to work. Picked up all the junk on the floor, made the bed, swept the whole place. I was just finishing up when the door suddenly flew open - and there was Rafe, fresh outta the shower and only wearing a towel. Catching me completely off guard.
"What are you doing in my room?" he demanded.
"I'm sorry.I was just cleaning, I can come back later if you need"I stammered.
"Nah, it's fine. I'll just change in the bathroom." He grabbed some clothes in his drawer and went back into the bathroom.
I quickly wrapped up in there and headed to Ward's office to grab my pay.
"John B was right about you."He says.
When he offered to have Rafe drive me home, I tried to say it was okay, trying not to be rude but he insisted. Guess I wasn't getting out of that one.
So Rafe and I headed out, him leading the way me right behind him. I figured it was gonna be an awkward ride.
