Accidentally MAID

Fourteen

Matheus

He could see from the driver's seat his three friends coming out from the convenience store. All of them carried each paper bag in both hands. They were serious about staying with him for some time, he thought. 

Before they get in the car, they put all their belongings behind the truck. 

"We bought foods and drinks that will last a week," Rafael informed him as he opened the door.

He just nodded. And start the engine. 

When everyone is all inside, he drives the truck.

Upon entering the house, all three go directly to the kitchen. 

He could see that they bought some dry goods that don't need to be in the fridge or freezer. They bought more drinks as well, maybe because they cleaned up the wine fridge last night.

All the beers that were stocked for his consumption were finished that night.

"So what are your plans for today?" he asked his friends.

"We can hit the range later in the afternoon," Flavio said.

"That's okay. We need to sweat to squeeze out the beer in our body," Lucas added.

"I'm on," said Rafael, popping some cashew nuts in his mouth.

"By the way, are we going to Josef's wedding?" Lucas asked them while putting the beers in the wine fridge.

Josef was their classmate in high school. Though they were friends, they were not as close as the four of them.

"I will definitely come," Rafael told them. "I don't know the three of you," he continued.

"It's a good break too, to be away here in Santa Catarina for a while," Lucas said, looking at them.

"In that case, I must finish all the work that needs to be done before the wedding," Flavio said.

"Okay, so since you all are going, I don't want to be left out. I'll go with you too. Let's finish all our work and fly to Switzerland in three months, he said enthusiastically.

For him, he wants to see Briar again.

Now that he knows who she is and knows where to find her. He wouldn't let this opportunity pass. This woman has occupied his thoughts when he's alone. Her face painted everywhere, staring at him. She even visited her in his dream. No woman has affected him the way Briar did.

"Agreed," chorused the three.

They prepared lunch together. 

This time they divided the task. 

Rafael and Matheus will cook, and Flavio and Lucas will set the table and wash dishes.

After lunch, he decided to go upstairs in the living room.

Rafael followed him.

"I couldn't believe that Josef is finally to settle down. That Casanova caught by this beautiful Caren." Rafael opened a conversation.

"Me too; I've heard that he's been changing women like changing his clothes," he supplied.

"Well, maybe he couldn't resist Caren's charm," Rafael said.

"Good for him, so no more women will try to hook him up trying their luck. I'm sure Caren is a good keeper." He agreed.

"I think so too," Rafael agreed.

After a while, Lucas and Flavio emerged from the kitchen. They're assigned to table setting and dishwashing.

"We're done!" announced the two.

"We can see that," Rafael replied.

"So what's our next agenda?" Lucas asked.

"Up to you guys, but I'm not going to get drunk tonight," he replied.

"Well, what if we talked about Aurora?" Rafael glanced at him.

"Who's Aurora?" Both Flavio and Lucas asked.

"Asked Rafael," he replied, glaring at Rafael.

"What about we talk about opening this place for the tournament?" Lucas looks at him.

"Great idea!" Flavio seconded.

"Do you like it to be opened to the public? "Rafael glanced at him.

"I've mentioned it to Lucas; maybe it's time to make use of this place," he replied.

They discussed some ideas, and then after a while they hit the driving range.

Thankful that his friends never asked again about the woman named Aurora, or Briar. He also knows that Aurora is the housekeeper that Briar has been covering. 

Olga and he were changing text messages while his three friends were buying some stuff at the convenience store. 

Aside from the content of the magazine he was reading, he learned from Olga that Briar will be the one who caters the wedding of Josef. 

His heart was filled with joy at the new knowledge. He will only wait for the time that they will fly to Switzerland to attend Josef's wedding. 

Still a few more months to go.
