Mendacity || KTH

20.

I was really mad about the incident with the Gretch, I didn't like to make him get angry with me, I didn't like the way he was looking at me, whenever I remember how he was looking at me, it would just make me wanna cry. And I didn't like how did he ignore me.

I spent the whole evening worried about what's going to happen at night. It took an eternity for the night to come, even though I was waiting for it the whole evening, I got quadrillion goosebumps whenit finally  came.

I knocked his door and hesitantly opened after I waited the expected time, he was standing in the center of the room buttoning his shirt with both hands, well his hand was better now and he even writes with it, but he keeps it held by his neck as Dr.Jin had recommended.

I bowed at him and looked around the room for the pile of dirty laundry, it was just beside him, I was only looking on the floor watching my steps-literally- until I bumped into him, it wasn't my fault, he was the one who stood infront of the pile when I arrived. I bowed apologizing still looking at the ground and tried to walk past him to take the pile, but he stopped me holding my wrist.

I looked up at him he was already looking at me, my face was a mixture of uneasiness and a sprinkle of fear, remembering his real anger hours ago. I just kept looking at him with my soft eyes waiting for him to do or say anything,cause duh! He stopped me.

Even though I shouldn't have got shocked but I did, I'm sorry, he let go my wrist replacing his hands around me pulling me into a hug. My heart started beating like crazy, yesterday we were cuddling but I wasnt supposed to hug him back, but now what should I do?

With my shaky hands I wrapped them around his neck accepting his hug, this made him tighten the hug even more, brining me closer to him, until our chests were glued together. We stood like that what seemed like ten minutes, even though I felt abit uneasy at the beginning, I got comfortable so fast.

"You told me to do whatever makes me happy when I'm angry", he aimed at my ear whispering,"and yet I didn't find another way", even though his breath wasn't hot like the last night, but it could still send me shivers and make my spine ask for mercy.

"I'm sorry for that misbehaving if that what made you angry", I spoke which made him break the hug and look at my eyes.

"Do you like him?", he scratched the back of his head with his right hand, keeping his left hand around my waist.

I shook my head  automatically,"No", it was a weird question though, I've never thought about it like that, or even expected someone to think like that,"we're friends your majesty that's it!".

He was unconsciously smiling but he tried his best to hide it,"Really?", he pulled his best serious face at that moment, and it was bad.

"Yes", I nodded giving him 2 'Yeses' for his question to confirm my answer.

"Well that's good", he smiled and then hugged me again tightening his hands aroud my waist even harder.

Even though I was started to like this hug too, but not all good things last for so long, he pulled out of the hug and dragged me to his bed another time.

I was awakened by what seemed like dawn, this time I slept right away, maybe because I got used to be in his arms? But what I thought that its paradox, that the last time I slept on dawn and this time I was awakened by dawn, well dawn must have something to do with me.

The Gretch was still holding onto me, but it wasn't that powerful, I let lose and got out of the room tip toeing hoping not to awake him up.

I reached for the kitchen and saw Mrs.Lee already awake, I greeted her and headed to change. I sat down beside her looking at her working, she didn't seem bothered by being awake at such an hour, she was arranging some vegetables, vegetables were so rare after the war,soil's fecundity has decreased and not all vegetables or even fruits grew alot, so we didnt eat them that much.

"Why are you awake at this hour?", she asked me as she was cleaning the parsley.

"I was still working ", I lied, I didnt know what to say! I kinda freaked out?

"You're being so close with the Gretch", she winked at me playfully, I slightly blushed at her sentence and didnt reply, well I didnt know what to say in the first place,"It's great I gotta admit, I always ask him about you ", she stopped and my head automatically rotated her direction anticipating.

"What does he say?", I kinda pushed away my embarrassment, I just wanted to know what does he think about me.

"He didn't say anything but I know that he's happy, I mean he have never cuddled with any of his previous maids", she stopped her actions," and he was the one who asked for you to surve him".

I looked at her puzzled, interpreting what she had just said, but then I got it,"He asked for me to keep an eye on me", I felt pathetic, so he's just doing this to trap me?,"So the cuddles are kinda part of his plan?", I laughed carelessly.

"No! Don't get me wrong", she walked towards me and sat by myside holding my hands in hers,"I had this idea too at the beginning to be honest, so I was talking with him the other day and I asked him if he wants to change you, cause we change his maid each week when he'd get sick of her, but he directly refused and shook his head", she smiled warmly,"I was happy by his reaction though ".

Well that was a relief, so he kinda didn't want to replace me? Well that's touching and heart warming, I never thought that he'd be like that, but what about me being his maid? I really don't know what to feel or what to do. Is it real that he'd like me? His maid?

"But Taely", she snapped me out of my thoughts,"please don't disappoint him",
