WITH YOU

04

I open my eyes when I realize I was tangled up in the sheets. How does his even happen? ugh!

After freeing myself from whatever that was, I head to the bathroom to freshen up. Memories from yesterday began flashing in my head. I was supposed to talk to him and apologise so I stayed up in the living room and...

If I fell asleep there, how did I get here? Did he...there's no way he carried me here. He wouldn't even want to touch me. I'm sure of it.

Maybe the one of the guards carried me up here. Eww, no offense though, but I can't believe he watched as someone touched his wife. Who knows the places he had to touch to carry me. 

The thought of it alone makes me lose my appetite more.

I dressed in a comfortable outfit, just a blue jeans shorts and a no hand crop top. I am planning to sunbathe near the pool today. I look cute. Self-affirmation is key. If my husband won't do it then I'm not going to be waiting for his compliments.

Though it wouldn't hurt to hear them, you know?

I head downstairs for breakfast. I've already made friends with the chef and some other maids here. They still talk to me with respect even though they're way older than me. I mean it's nice and all, but I just want them to feel free around me. We are getting somewhere though. They've finally stopped calling me Mrs.Ferrari. It's just Arya now and I love that.

I was wondering what Pablo, the chef and I were going to talk about now when my eyes landed on the last person I wanted to see making me stop short in my steps. 

What is he doing here? No work today? I actually like having the house to myself. 

Having breakfast with him is going to be torture. After what happened yesterday, I think we've both mentally agreed that we don't like each other.

"Your breakfast is going to get cold," he says not taking his eyes off his food.

"Where's Pablo?" I ask walking towards the table.

"Pablo?" He asks finally looking up at me scanning my outfit and looking back at his food.

"Yeah, the chef," I respond.

"I didn't know you're now on first names with people in this house," he says and sips water from his glass.

I don't know why, but I found that hella attractive. The way his adam's apple just moved as he gulped the water down, damn!

Get yourself together, girl.

"How would you know?" I reply taking my seat. He didn't respond to that and just gave me a look. Okay.

Luckily, I was at the end of the table, far away from him. You would think that's good, but it meant that I have to be staring directly into his eyes till he's done with his breakfast. 

Torture.

Events from yesterday flood my mind continuously and I decided to apologise.

"Umm, about yesterday, I'm really sorry for invading your personal space. It was wrong of me and it won't happen again," I say looking at him for any emotion or expression, but I got nothing.

"I get it if you don't want to accept my apology now, but it's only right that I say it and--," He cut me off.

"I'm sorry too," He says finally looking at me.

"You are?"I ask almost choking on my grape.

"Yes, I am. I'm sorry for raising my voice at you. You deserve so much better and it won't happen again," He says looking intensely into my eyes and I could see that he meant every word. I could feel it.

Before I could speak, he got up from his seat.

"Excuse me, I have to get to work," He says.

"Why didn't you leave earlier?"

"I had something to do," He says looking at me, "Now that I'm done, I can finally leave," He continues and I could feel my cheeks turn hot.

He actually felt bad about it and waited till I woke up just to apologise? Waw! This really is a small world. Today is all sweet talk, I guess tomorrow will be all arguments.

I watch him take his plates and place them in the dishwasher.

"Oh, and don't be sleeping on the couch, your bed is more comfortable," He says.

"I was just--" He cut me off.

"You are actually really heavy and you even talk in your sleep," I saw a slight chuckle leave his lips.

He carried me to my room. I don't know why, but I was actually very relieved about that. 

"I might be home for dinner," He adds before leaving.

Home? Was he trying to now be the perfect husband?

It's nice and all, but I like the fighting better. Anyway, since he seems like today is a good day for him, I'll talk to him about how bad I want to start working.

I finished my breakfast and washed my plates as well. I quickly went out to the pool to follow my plan. When I got outside, I realised none of the guards had their head up. They were all looking at the ground, but greeted me when I passed my them.

Okay, weird.

After a little time of relaxing, I decided to do some swimming. Thank God I had my bikini underneath. I knew I'd change my mind.

Immediately I start pulling my top off, the guards all turned to face the wall. What the actual f...

"Excuse me, how are you supposed to protect me if you are facing the wall?" I ask waiting for a response.

"We are not supposed to look at you, ma'am," One replies.

"Why is that?" I ask.

"Boss'orders, ma'am," He replies.

My stomach did a cartwheel at the sound of that. 

My hubby's orders, hehehe...

HEY!!! How y'all been? It's been long. I didn't know what to write, but I came out with this. It's not in Leo's POV, but I'mma do that soon. Okay, like and comment and thanks for the comments and votes. ilu<3
