The Devious Maid

The One With The Clean Tiles & Macaroni

'Well Levi, Let me show you to your room and then you can start cleaning the apartment.' I said softly and tried to hold in a laugh at the look of utter disgust on his face. I could see his hand which held the duster itching to start cleaning something.

Levi nodded slowly and picked up his suitcase again, letting out a soft sigh as he turned to face me. I headed towards my own room and gestured to the door with my hand, not really bothering to open it up.

'That there is my room.' I said softly and looked back at Levi who had followed closely behind me. 'And this, is your room.' I gestured to the room across from mine and opened up the door, allowing him to walk inside and have a look at his new home.

The guest room was a little bit smaller than mine but it was still big and spacious. Inside the room was a large window with a good view of the city and the walls were littered with some fancy decorative art just like the living room area. One wall was lined with wardrobes for storing clothes ect and each wardrobe door had a mirror on it. The opossite wall had a double bed with a little dresser on the left side. I looked over at Levi who had now stepped further into the room and was admiring every feature like he had never seen anything like this before. He turned his attention back to me and smiled softly.

'Wow. This room is beautiful. Thank you.' Levi said softly and took another quick look around. 'Nicer than anywhere i've lived before..'

I frowned a little at Levi's comment. It was hard to imagine anyone treating this gorgeous man in any wrong way. He didn't seem like he deserved it at all. Levi put down his suitcase in the corner and sat down on his bed, looking up at me. I was a little curious now and so I sat down beside him and turned my attention to him and only him.

'What do you mean..?' I asked softly and bit my bottom lip a little with nervousness. Nothing could prepare me for the answer he was about to give.

Levi started to explain and I swear I heard him swallow thickly and let out a very soft but noticeable sigh. 'I used to work in a big manor a town away from here.. I worked for an older lady. Mrs Delicato. Her husband had died a year before I started working for her from Cancer. According to the other staff in the household she used be a very fun and easy going lady but after the tragic loss of her husband she was just never the same. Shortly after I had began working for her she had taken to drinking as a popular everyday activity. She once drank two and a half full bottles of strong burboun in a day and yet somehow she still managed to survive.' He said softly and looked down at the floor as he continued talking, some small tears wetting his eyes. 'One day, she came in from an evening out with her friends and tracked mud into the house with her onto the floor that I had only just finished cleaning. In her drunken state she hadn't realized it had been her and accused me of not doing my job properly. I tried to explain to her that it wasn't me and she got really angry.. She picked up her empty glass bottle from the counter and smashed it over my head.. I was taken to the hospital by the chef who stayed with me while the nurses assesed me.. I needed 15 stitches and little bits of glass removed from my head. That wasn't the first time she assaulted me. I convinced myself she didn't mean it and it was just the drink. I really needed the money but it all became to much and I had to quit..'

I felt some tears start to well up in my own eyes and I quickly wiped them away so he wouldn't see and tried to remain as cool and collected as possible. I reached a hand out and softly rubbed at Levi's arm with it, offering him a small but reassuring smile. He looked up from the floor to me and I could see the tears still forming on his eyes. There was a faint but still noticeable scar on his head where she had obviously hit him.

'Levi. Look, While you live under my roof and work for me there will be no violence or anything. I'm not that type of guy. In fact, you'll be lucky if you see much of me for the next while. I have college and on weekends I make plans with my friends. But Mrs Delicunto or whatever you wanna call her isn't your boss anymore. I am. And I say no violence.' I said softly and tried to keep my smile as warm and inviting as possible. 'Now, I have to go out so you can make a start on the cleaning. I don't care which room you start on as long as it's clean okay?'

Levi nodded and picked up his suitcase again, placing it on the bed. He took out some cleaning supplies like a special brush, his duster, a little apron and a little thing to go round his head. It looked like a bandana. He tied the bandana around his head and made his way out of his room leaving me on the bed.

I left the house for the rest of the day as I had promised Hanji & Erwin, our other friend that I would meet up with them to hang out for a bit. Erwin also asked if he could borrow my lecture notes since he had been out sick for the last week and didn't have any at all. We went to the park and to our favourite coffee shop for a bit before we decided to part ways and head home for the night. It was about 5pm on the dot when I got home. I hadn't locked the door since Levi was still home so all I had to do was open it up. I turned the handle slowly, not expecting what I was about to be faced with.

The entire apartment was spotless and a delicious smell filled the air. No piles of paper on the floor, no empty take out containers all over the place and I could practically see my reflection in the coffee table in my living room. I had never seen the place so clean. I decided to let my body follow the glorious smell into my kitchen and my eyes widened a little. The entire place was really clean too except for some cooking items on the counter next to the stove. infront of the stove with his back to me was Levi in his little apron, cooking. I stood for a moment taking in some more of his distinctive features. His undercut was now more noticeable that he had his back to me and I could see from his waist that he was really skinny but well built. His muscles didn't look huge but they did seem very defined even just from his back. His ass was a perfect little apple bottom shape and his tight fitting jeans seemed to hug it perfectly. I snapped myself from my thoughts, a small blush on my cheeks as I began to speak.

'Levi.' I said softly and watched as he turned himself around quickly to face me, a wooden spoon in his hand and a pepper pot in the other. 'What are you doing?'

'I thought i'd make you some dinner.. I mean it's only mac and cheese but it's a family recipe and it's really good. I used to help my grandma make it when I was little and she always used to tell me I was-' I cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

'You mean you cooked for me..?' I almost whispered and my eyes widened again. It had been a long time since I had eaten a proper home cooked meal let alone have someone cook for me.

'Yes.' He answered back softly and began to stir his sauce carefully with the wooden spoon again. 'That is part of my job description isn't it? I cook and clean.' he grinned a little and began to put some macaroni onto two plates. He had made some for himself too which I decided was okay since he too had to eat and he had spent the entire day cleaning my filthy apartment. That will surely have worked up quite an appetite.

I sat down at the table and picked up the fork which had been laid out for me. Carefully scooping up some macaroni, I popped it into my mouth and began to eat it. A small moan of satisfaction from how good Levi's cooking was escaped my lips and I quickly tried to cover it up by coughing a little.

'It's good. Really good' I said softly and scooped up some more macaroni. 'I think you're going to do just fine here. Welcome to your new life, Levi.'
