POV: Daniela

My eyes drilled holes into the brown luscious locks that I just wanted to bury my fingers and sift through for all eternity. I was head over heels over this shorty, busty woman that I was stalk- staring at, but I was too nervous to make a move.

I was too outgoing.

Too loud.

To...

Childish.

I didn't see the point of confessing when I would just be shot down anyway.

So I settled on staring at this ethereal woman at the same time every day while she cleaned the library. She cleaned soooo good and never left a spot of dust anywhere that had a flat surface. It reminded me of fathers cleaning technique and wondered if Ioana was something other than human too.

I smiled widely, making sure I was hidden, and sighed wistfully at the woman's swaying hips.

I just closed my eyes for a second, but I lost sight of the maid and panicked.

It didn't take long for the maid to show up again, but she wasn't in the same place.

I felt a tap on my shoulder that made me jump and turn around quickly to tear whoever dared to touch mes throat out, but I stopped, and went wide-eyed when I saw who it was.

It was Ioana.

"I-I-Ioana..." I stuttered, flies buzzing erratically around me because of my heightened nerves.

"Ms. Daniela... Might I inquire why you're stalking me?" Ioana asked and when I went to say I haven't she put her hand up. "And don't say you haven't because I have noticed you. I can feel that piercing gaze on me while I work. I thought it might've been one of the other ladies, but I saw that beautiful red hair of ours and knew it was you."

I blinked and my brain blew up.

"B-Beautiful? You think... I'm beautiful?" I asked, stuttering like an idiot.

"Oh, Ms. Daniela..." Ioana sighed, taking a lock of my red hair and twirling it around her finger which made my cheeks turn the same color as my hair. "You are one of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on. Like the most precious ruby to ever have been found."

My heart that usually feels dead was pounding painfully in my chest and I was soaking in Ioana's every word. This little maid who used to be so scared of us was standing proudly before me and showering me with such pretty words.

They were so so pretty...

I gulped and licked my lips.

I made sure to clean myself up before doing this because I wasn't that much of an idiot.

"Ioana..." I said softly, our gazes meeting. "D-Do you... Do y-you think we c-can go out on a... date?" I squeaked, still stuttering like the idiot I just said I wasn't.

Ioana's smile was bright and it filled me to the brim with warmth that felt soooo good.

"You're such an idiot, Daniela." Ioana said, shaking her head, the trusses of her hair moving wildly.

My heart dropped and I felt like I had just been shot.

"W-What?" I asked, lip trembling.

"Of course I want to go out on a date with you." Ioana replied, taking one of my hands in hers.
