Falling Too Deep

Chapter 9

I felt the sun shining on my face and I groaned, rolling over onto some soft, plush pillows. The sun shined on my arms and I rolled over some more trying to get away from the light. I heard the drapes being ruffled and drawers being closed so I cracked my eyes open.

A lady in a maid outfit was folding clothes and putting them into Nick's drawers.

Oh. I forgot I slept over at Nick's.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, brushing my hair out of my face. The lady turned and looked at me and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't see you sleeping. I didn't mean to wake you."

I smiled assuring her I was fine. "No it's okay. I was already awake."

She was about in her late thirties and she had long jet black hair that touched all the way down to her waist. As she opened the drapes completely she smiled back at me.

"I'm Nina by the way."

I slid out of bed and stretched. "Nice to meet you. I'm Andrea. Do you work for Nick?"

She nodded. "Nice to meet you, and yes I do."

I looked around and noticed Nick wasn't next to me and I frowned. Nina must have understood why I was frowning and she informed me.

"I think he's in the kitchen with Maria."

I smiled and headed towards the door. "Thank you."

She nodded again and went back to cleaning. As I walked down the grand staircase I stretched some more and grinned. Gosh, that bed was so comfortable. The house smelled of lemon and syrup, probably because of the cleaning and cooking. I walked into the kitchen and saw Maria setting a stack of pancakes on the marble counter.

"Hey Maria."

She looked up and grinned. "Oh hey! Long time no see Andrea."

I smiled and took a seat at the bar. "Do you know where Nick is?"

She pointed to the basement door. "He's in the gym. Tell him breakfast is ready."

I nodded and headed down the basement. I hadn't really explored Nick's whole house, I'd only been to the main areas of the house. When I got in the basement I walked down a long hallway and heard some rock music blasting from one of the rooms. I peeked in the first room and saw it was just for storage. I tried the next room and it was a TV room. I kept walking as I got closer to the music and then I peered in the next room.

The walls were covered in mirrors and I saw the source of the music: a gigantic stereo was placed against the wall. There were exercise machines and weights placed all around. I scanned the room and my jaw literally dropped. Nick was bench pressing and he had no shirt on. Every time he would lift the bar away from his chest his biceps would flex. I could actually feel the drool on my chin. I felt a little weird checking him out, but I continued watching anyway.

I watched as he finished his bench press, and then he moved onto bicep curls. I was standing there for about five minutes so I decided it was a good time to stop creeping on him. I quietly closed the door and then re-opened it, walking in. I cleared my throat and Nick turned around, his toned chest was rising up and down. He smiled at me and took a swing from a bottle of water.

"Hey baby."

He grabbed a towel off the treadmill and wiped his forehead and torso. His muscles rippled with every motion, he was a good piece of eye candy.

I smiled, my face flushing due to my dirty thoughts. "Hey. Maria wanted me to tell you breakfast is ready."

He grinned and put the towel around his neck. "Good. I'm starving. Did you sleep well?"
