Rays POV
I'm looking up the ceiling while lying on my bed when I heard someone knocking at my door. "If you're Dina you could come in, if not just shout out what you need." I said.
I heard the door opens, and I look at the timid girl walking inside. Her head as always is looking at the floor. I shifted on my bed and get comfortable. I sit up, putting a pillow on the headboard and resting my back on it and stretching out my legs. I tap the side on my bed and ask her to sit. For awhile we just stay like that in silence, until I notice her hands sweating and her body fidgeting. I'm frightening the poor girl. See how unnatural I've been this morning? I've never been nervous, I'm not shy, people see me as proud and intimidating, but with what I did with her, giving her food then stalking her. I don't know what happened to me.
"Dina why are you here?" I snap out of my thoughts and focus on Dina.
"Err, Ms. Ray... Mrs. Smith told me you're looking for me." She answered.
I smile, "What I mean is, why work here? Where are your parents? You should be in school." I look at her again. She's more uncomfortable now than earlier. I know this is unlike me, but I like this girl, maybe I'm just lonely but I have a soft spot for her. That's why I asked her to be my personal maid, "Dina just answer me, I won't fire you or anything like that, I just need to know so I could help."
"I lost my parents last year on a vehicular accident. I was forced to live with some relative but they're just after the money I got from my parents death, and after they spent it they treat me like a maid doing all the chores and making me stop going to school. Then I saw an ad on a newspaper and try being a real household help and Mr. Smith was kind enough to approve and hired me."She said.
"Well you are too young to be working in this household, but since you don't have any good place to go, you may stay here. And dad and I decided to let you go to school. Just give Ye Ye your papers and we'll handle everything. And Dina you don't have to be shy around me, just tell me if you need anything." She looks up and stares at me, I smiled at her, and in an instance her face lit up and turns red. I think this girl has a crush on me. She's being more adorable than before, but I think I can't return her feelings. She's young and I think she's just curious or something. "You may go now and tell Dad I won't be having dinner later, I'm still full with Nai's snack."
She immediately stands up and went out of my room. And this leaves me back to my thoughts.
I look at the clock on top of my bedside table, it's just seven in the evening, but i felt so drain. I've never been like this, and I keep on telling this. Maybe I could just sleep on it. I browse my phone for music to get me to sleep and relax my nerves, then I just close my eyes and wish for a dreamless sleep.

The next morning was just like any other, a loud banging outside my door is what disturbed my sleep. Only this time it doesn't take that much time for me to get up and open the door. I look at the girl standing in front of me. I think she knows better now, so she keeps her face down. I hate to disappoint her but I'm actually wearing something now, I didn't intend to corrupt her mind and give her wet dreams. "Dina, I'm awake now, and you could look up. I'm decent." This comment makes her ears colours turns to red. She's blushing again. I think I'm teasing her too much, but I can't help it. This girl's blush is adorable.
"Ms. Ray your dad asked me to wake you up and ask you if you're going to join him at breakfast." She mumbles.
"Oh ok. Tell him I'll be down in twenty."

The breakfast went fast. I asked Nai for a pack of meal again and I drive my way to uni. I parked my car, and took my things out. I noticed that Nai put my meal on a medium sized bag so I looked at it and saw a note, "I also packed some for your beloved crush." It says.
Urked, Nai Nai your a tease, it's a good thing I love you and your cooked foods if not you're fired.
I don't have lit today so I need to look for My Lay to give her this food. Oh wait did just call her mine? Well no denying it now. I really, really like my lit prof. Now my problem is where to look for her and how to give her this. I don't have any idea where she could be, I could try the lecture room but giving her this in class will be awkward.
Hmm, what could be the percentage of bumping in to her in the halls? Destiny or faith is on my side, coz I'm looking at her right now. She's walking down the hall towards the English departments. I think she's going to her private room; all profs have them why didn't I think about that? So instead of just giving her the pack up meal again I stalked her, 'AGAIN'. Geeze, My Lay the things I'll do for you.
