The Devious Maid

The One With The Maid Named Levi

Rushing into the kitchen, my pants half way up my legs as I tried to dance my way into them, I quickly grabbed a poptart from the box and began eating it. Untoasted poptarts had become my favourite quick breakfast solution these past few weeks since I never had time to make a proper one. I picked up my bag and keys and practically ran out of my frontdoor, almost forgetting to lock it. I had a lecture at 9:00 and it was now 8:40. For the second time this week I had slept in and almost missed my class. All the late nights I had been spending doing essays and other important peices for my final grade of the term and ignoring sleep had been catching up with me and now I was finding it so hard to tear myself away from the nice, warm sheets in the morning. Arriving at Trost University, I practically ran across the carpark and straight into the tall building. 8:55. I made it into the classroom with 5 minutes to spare. I'd say I got lucky, but only just. The lecture lasted for 3 hours before the class was dismissed for the day, meaning I was free to do whatever I wanted to do.

'Mr Jaeger, A parcel delivered to your apartment about an hour ago.' The doorman called after me as I made my way inside my apartment building and headed for the lift.

'Thank's Martin!' I called back and pressed the button for floor 7 which happened to be the top floor, the floor that my apartment is on.

I picked up the box from outside of my door and carried it inside with me, setting it down on the table. Well, The tiny little space of the table that was actually visible to me. The place was a mess. The sink was full of week old unwashed dishes, what was supposed to be my kitchen table was covered in coursework books, scattered sheets of paper that had been half written on and empty take away containers. Don't even get me started on the pile of laundry that was gathering on my bedroom floor. I took one look at the mess and sighed softly deciding that I would take care of it later. I had a paper to finish right now that was due tomorrow. Pushing the thoughts of my paper aside, I decided to open up the package that was now on my table. I ripped the tape off the big brown box and peeled back the lid to take a look inside. Inside the box was something wrapped in tissue paper and a little handwritten note.

'Eren, Thought you might need this when you finally decide to clean that apartment of yours. Use it wisely. - Hanji' The note read and underneath the tissue paper was an itty bitty maid dress complete with an apron,little headband, duster and some long stockings. Typical Hanji.

I took the dress out of the box and held it against my tall, skinny frame and snorted a little. Like I was ever going to be wearing a dress like this. Maybe I could use this as a joke for my up coming halloween party. I tossed the dress back into the box and flopped down onto the couch, picking up my laptop. Only 3 more paragraphs to go and I would be done with this paper. I opened up the internet and put some music on youtube to help me concentrate and relax. I clicked on a song that I loved and waited for the video to load only to be met with frustration as one of those annoying adverts popped up before me. Normally I press the skip button but this particular add caught my attention. A tall bald man in a suit with a very commanding voice appeared on the screen and began talking.

'Are you tired of cleaning up after yourself?! Had a hard day at work and just don't have the motivation to make yourself any dinner?! Fed up of wiping away the hairs on the sink?! Is laundry such a chore to you that you wear the same shirt for 3 days in a row?! Well look no further! Here at Maid For Hire we have a solution to all of your cleaning problems! Go to our website now to sign up for our maid services and you will recieve a high quality maid who will move in if you require it and do all of the boring work for you!' The man practically yelled into my ears and waved his arms around like an idiot infront of me. I thought to myself for a moment before I copied the web address into my search bar and clicked go.

A well presented page popped up with lots of information and little pictures of maids dotted all over it. I decided to read a bit more into this maid thing and the more I read the more appealing it was starting to sound to me. The idea of a maid, scrubbing my floors in one of those little dresses made me smile a little, purely because it meant I wouldn't have to do any work. I quickly began to enter my details into the form for requesting a maid. Within the next few moments I recieved and email to say that my form was being processed and they should send out a maid to me within the next few days. I closed down the website and quickly went back to writing the last of my essay so that when I was done I could spend the night doing something a little more exciting.

 It had been at least a week since I had filled out the form to get a maid sent to my house. I hadn't heard anything back yet and was starting to think that maybe it was one of those stupid scams to get people's addresses ect. I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts when a loud knock at my door caused the framed art work on the side wall to shake a little. By the loudness and enthusiasm of the knock I thought it might be my loud and eccentric friend Hanji. The one who sent me the little maid outfit trying to be funny. I trudged to the door in my pyjamas, a half empty cereal bowl in my hand and took a look through my peep hole. A small man with black parted hair was standing in front of the door, looking very nervous. I opened the door up slowly and looked at him.

'um are you lost kid? Can I help you?' I asked through a mouthful of lucky charms, the milk dribbling on my chin a little.

'Oh how lovely. And kid? I'm 100% certain that I am older than you.' The small man replied in a stern manner and rolled his eyes a little at me.

I took a moment to look him up and down, taking in all of his visible features. His black hair was parted down the middle on the front and from the looks of things, he had a neatly kept undercut. His jawline was perfect and his lips were small and evenly shaped but looked like they hadn't smiled for a long time. I took a moment to stare into his eyes and a small blush creeped onto my cheeks. He was gorgeous. His eyes were a mixture of a really light smokey grey with a hint of blue added in. The reminded me of the sky during an intense storm.

'Don't smart mouth me, shorty. Why are you standing at my apartment door?' I asked, laughing a little as I tried to cover the blush on my cheeks and wiped the milk dribble from my chin.

'I am not that short.' The man protested and folded his arms across his chest to make his mood seem even more apparent. 'Eren Jaeger yes? I'm your new maid.'

I felt my heart stop for a second and I tried my hardest not to bust a hole in my bottom lip with my teeth. The gorgeous man in front of me who I had basically just insulted twice was about to be washing my dirty underwear and scrubbing my bathroom floors.

'Wait you're my what..?' I asked, staring at him with a really blank and confused look on my face. This man was now my maid.

'Well you requested a maid didn't you? So now you have me. What's the matter? am I different to the fantasies you've probably been having?' The smaller man smirked and kept his arms folded across his chest as he stood up a little straighter.

'Well.. I was expecting someone.. Not you. I kind of thought they'd send me someone you know.. Old.' I chuckled and felt my cheeks heat up again at his comment as I sat the bowl of cereal down onto the table beside the door. 'Well uh you had better come in then. The place is a mess so don't be expecting much.'

The smaller man picked up his suitcase and headed into my apartment closing the door behind him. The look of horror on his face as he took in the mess surrounding him was really quite a picture. He placed his suitcase onto the floor and began to pick up some pieces of paper from the floor, fashioning them into a neat little pile before setting them down on my all glass coffee table and turned to look at me.

'So Maid, I guess you can see that you already have your work cut out for you.' I smirked and glanced at him again. He really didn't look prepared for cleaning at all. He was wearing a plain white button up and some dark black skinny jeans. Not really cleaning attire.

'Levi.' He said softly and turned his attention back to the mess that was all over the kitchen and the living room area, making another face of absolute disgust as he took a duster out of the front pocket on his suitcase. 'My name is Levi.'
