Hired (Richard Camacho Fanfic)

Part 5|| ours

J U L I E T T E

I hesitated to go downstairs for breakfast the following morning. I was too scared, just by knowing him for a day I could tell he was not going to let this slide...or would he? I mean, he can't be that cruel. I just got here after all.

With that said, I take in a deep breath and turn the knob on my door. Richard was already standing there. The intimidating look in his eyes made me back up. He didn't break the cold gaze and eventually I backed up far enough where he could shut the door again.

"G-Good morning," I spoke. Really, Juli? A smirk tugged at the corners of Richard's lips.

"Why were you watching me last night, mami?" The nickname made my legs shake as if they would crumble under me. I couldn't help but frown at his actions. I don't understand--

His finger brushed up against my parted lips. "Don't think out loud, it makes you look stupid." The harsh tone was there, but his eyes gleamed a bit. Could it really be? Or am I seeing things..?

"I-I was just..I-I..." He started to lean in, my heart raced inside my chest, my breath hitching at his nearness. That perfect smile was just centimeters from me now. His hands come up at my sides, and I flinched at his dreamy touch. His touch sent electricity flying through me, and I was close to just closing the distance, something I never thought I would do. I could feel his breath on my lips..he leaned in further and before we both knew I pushed him away.

"You ass!" I pushed him back, angry at the realization hit me. "You're trying to trap me, making me think I feel stuff and kiss me so that I let this shit slide!" He proved my statement with a defeated look that came over his face. I couldn't believe I almost kissed this asshole!

"Go to hell, Richard." I stated plainly, turning away from him. I felt a tiny pang to my heart, realizing he had tried to use me as he did with all those other girls. He plainly needed me to be on his side so I could not tell Oscar, or his management. Under contract he was supposed to stop hooking up with these girls- I could only guess that this had been going on for years.

"You weren't even supposed to see that," He told me, scolding me almost, like as if I was a little girl.

"Oh, please. I have to live here, and I'm not stupid. Y'all were too damn loud." I retorted, my back is still to him. My arms crossed tightly before me, it was taking every nerve in me not to turn around and deck his shit right now. On God.

I could hear him laugh at that, which I found inmature and disgusting. "I don't care that you are having sex with random girls," I turn to face him and inch closer to him, so he's looking down at me and we are eye to eye. "But not while I'm here." His face drops.

"You have to be bullshitting me right now, mujer." He scoffs. "That's my fun time--I..No, no. This is my house. You're here on a stupid one year contract, and you will be out the door soon. I pay the bills here, what I say is what goes. You don't get to have a say. Period." He smirked confidently, while I just laughed in his face.
