Escape of Freedom [ female reader x Eiser Leinz Grayan ]

Ch19. Swallowing Everything Up

The kitten I found the other day was taken care of by one of the maids so I am not worried about his well-being. I trust the maid to take care of him. After a few days passed by, I decided to check on the kitten. 

The moment I approached the kitten, I could see that its belly was growing big. I am glad that the kitten was well-fed. I crouched down, caressing the kitten's head before picking it up, and hugging it. It was so cute!!

I rubbed its belly and head before deciding to play with it. 

The maid who had been taking care of it came closer and handed me a cat toy. 

"You should play with it with this"

I hummed, grinning while using the toy to play with the kitten. I can see the maid looking over at us fondly. She crouched down next to me, looking over "Have you decided what name to give him?" she asked, reaching over to pet the kitten as well.

"I am not sure if I should keep the kitten" 

"Why did you think so?"

"I don't think Eiser will allow me to keep it. This is his house so his words are the rule"

The maid shakes her head, "I don't agree with that. I know that Eiser won't go out of his way to care about this cat but he won't mind if you want to keep it"

I sighed, still not sure about it.

I guess what she is saying is true. It's not like him to care about things like this. It was silence for a few minutes before she started to speak back. 

"You know miss, I had never heard Sir Eiser cares about someone as much as he does to you. When you went to your friend's house the other day, he looked for you like crazy. I am so surprised at that because I don't even imagine that he can do that" I looked at her, wondering if it was the truth. 

I shake my head, rubbing the kitten's head again "I see" I don't want to engage with this kind of talk anymore. 

There were a lot of things that were in my mind, I couldn't help but put up a fake hope hearing that. Who doesn't feel good when the person they like cares about them like that? Even imagining it is making me crazy. But at the same time, it makes me feel like I am delusional and it isn't very comfortable so much to me. It makes me feel creepy having all kinds of imagination and hopes for him. 

After that, the maid walks inside leaving me by myself.  I was left with my thoughts and I couldn't help but overthink everything. 

It was awkward seeing Eiser. 

You know what makes it more awkward, the way he acts nothing is happening. I bumped into him before coming to see the kitten. I thought he might avoid me or.....say something about what I told him but he didn't. 

He just greeted me like he always does. 

My heart aches just thinking about it. I swallow an empty air before picking myself up and brushing the dust off my shirts and pants. 

I waved goodbye to the kitten and was about to head back in when I saw a car stopping in front of the gate.  I hide behind the tree, to peek at the person. Then, I saw Dia walking out of the car. She was wearing a very scandalous dress and pushed the doorbell. She was so pretty even when I looked at her this far. Everything around her is so shiny that it makes me look down on myself. 

I can see why Eiser fell in love with her. 

I looked down at the dirt, feeling self-conscious. I am so pathetic. 

Then, I hear the sound of the gates opening. I watched as she walked through our front gate and stopped in the middle of the garden where the fountain was.
