His Maid ( rewriting )

Chapter 24: Jealous

One of my favorite songs drown out all the sound around as I stared at the sun set.
"Don't save her , she don't wanna be saved,"
I sang softly signing sadly as the song came to an end and Veronica voice is heard.
"Your a really good singer you know!, you should pursue it as a profession ."

I look to my left at her holding a dripping wet and giggling Sam.
I smile at both of them .
"Thanks , but after I get enough money from working for Stephen I'm going to college and buying an apartment," I tell her.
" oh !, okay .. How far are you from the amount you need ?"

"Very close actually, maybe three /four months of my normal pay and I'll have all I need," I say proudly .

I recount after making my comment to Stephen in Cleveland, I was actually closer than I realized.

The idea slowly sinks in , I'm almost there then I'm off to University with change.
Stephen doesn't even know , even though he's my boyfriend, I wonder how far he'll go for me .

Long distance relationship ain't for everybody though .

"Anyway...," she says pulling me out my thoughts . "Isn't Riley's birthday coming up ?"

"Yup, I was planning to throw her a party !" I say getting excited my little Riley is gonna be 3.

July to me is the best month.

"Can I come ?" Sam asks wrapping the towel around himself.
"Of course Sam, you'll be the first invited ,bring your bathing suite okay?"
He nods grinning looking up at his mother , she smiles down at him running her hand through his blonde hair .

I open my phone to camera looking over at Sam and gesturing for him to come .
He climbs up the rock slowly coming up on my lap.
I turn on selfie camera taking pictures with us.
"Hay I want some too!," Veronica whines playfully coming up behind me doing funny faces.

I pick the best one to put up on my Instagram.
Likes start flooding in , quickly there was 500 likes , 103 comments and counting .
"Wow, 9k followers! , I only have 3k,"
"What's your name on Instagram?"

I ask her .
After she gives me it I follow her , then tag her in the picture and watched as her followers shoot up.

"Thanks, bestie!" She squeals .

My smile drops seeing a picture of Ayesha , Stephen and Riley in the parade.

Veronica notices my frown peaking over to see my phone.
"Ugh.."she rolls her eyes grabbing my phone out my hands."she isn't even prettier than you , besides she's getting pretty fat," she laughs. "She looks 8 months pregnant and ready to pop , maybe some nigga pay her to fuck and she didn't use a condom ....or she eats way to much," she jokes making me crack a smile .

She continues scrolling  then stops and glare at the phone.
"Oh hell no!, Mya you gotta go down there and whoop some ass!! what the fuck is this!,"
She turns the phone to me .

I could feel the thug of jealousy and hurt. Of course this happens, why do I always put my self in situations to get hurt !

Or why does he keep letting this happen ? Why can't he decide , who he wants and whom he doesn't.
She scrolls through the comments reading through some.
"You got fans girly!, and haters....." She mumbles reading out a good one.

'Ayesha is such a bitch, every time Mya and Stephen gets serious she ruins it'

"Follow her," I tell her .
She nods clicking @nataliyah_lux ,then the follow button.

' Ayesha and Stephen were together long before Mya was even known , Mya is breaking up their family'

"She's a bitch," Veronica says closing the app.

"So what now?" She ask handing me back my phone glancing at Sam who was playing on the rock next to me .

"We could pick up pizza and head back by you ? I'm kinda tired," I lied .

She nods jumping off the rock. I jump off and help Sam down, holding his hand as he skips through the water that rushes up on shore.

We get to her car quickly and thankfully unseen, not ready for the paparazzi .
Veronica puts Sam in his car seat. I go in shot gun staring outside ,thinking.

Are they right? Did I really break up a happy family ?
Ayesha mother said the same thing.

"Hay , I know what your thinking and it's not true ," Veronica tells me reversing on to the free way and drive off . "It's not like that , and besides they broke up twice before you started working there,"
I nod slowly then realize something turning to her giving her a "the hell" face. She smiles looking forward ," I'm a stalker yeah I know ," she winks .

I laugh shaking my head turning to glance back at Sam who was staring out the window .
"Buddy ?"
" want to hang with Riley ?"
He nods excitedly without looking at me making me smile.
