Undercover Heiress

Part Eleven

Chapter Thirteen: Not asking for a relationship but can you just be close friends?

I waited in my room while Peter was sweeping up the floor downstairs when it occurred to me that I still had crumbs in my hair.

So I went to the bathroom and started a hot bubble bath, connecting to my Bluetooth and grabbing my silk robe from the door hook.

Holly ended up knocking on the door and popping inside just as I was stripping, but I was used to being naked in front of people so I didn't mind.

Of course, she didn't know me, and I was supposed to be someone else so I faked embarrassment and covered up for the sake of my identity.

"Oh gosh, Bailey, I'm so sorry! I just wanted to have a quick chat, I'll wait till your decent," She blurted out and then shut the door.

I laughed internally but faked a stutter and covered my body with the light pink robe, before calling Holly back in the bathroom.

"I'm decent!" I yelled, sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

Holly rushed inside and then shut the door, blowing out a long breath and I could tell something was wrong and bothering her.

"Mrs. Kingston? Has something happened?" I asked, feeling my brows draw together.

Holly frowned and stared at the ground as the sound of water filling echoed throughout the room.

"Can I be honest and open with you?" She questioned, tucking her bangs behind her ears.

I nodded, curious as to where this conversation was headed to.

Not going to lie, Holly and I have had some interesting topic choices for our convos and it made me smile cuz with my mother it was never like this.

I was always homeschooled and a loner in our palace, so whenever Queen Helena came home from a stressful day of work all I wanted to do was spend time around her since I had been by myself.

Sadly the bitch was never in the mood and didn't wanna give her 11-year-old princess and love or attention.

My bitchass brother was the golden boy of the family. Always chosen for everything and then there was the unwanted twin sister who was the second option.

While he was put into public school, I stayed home trapped in my room forced to take high ranked classes that were difficult.

Since I studied so often I became a bookworm and was a very smart gifted child. I was good at everything I did, even better than my brother actually.

My gifts were never acknowledged so I grew up feeling like I would never be good enough for someone, and since I lacked attention from my parents I found it elsewhere.

By fucking guys, taking drugs and stripping at clubs.

I did these things all the time because it seemed to be the only thing that got my mothers attention, and even though it only brought out her yells and insults it was better than being ignored.

A sad childhood I had.

"Of course you can be honest with me, Mrs. Kingston," I smiled, patting the edge of the tub.

She took a seat next to me and let out a loud sigh, putting her forehead in her hands.

I tiled my head watching her rub her eyes and then shake her head, laughing.

"This is gonna sound silly, but I really don't want Peter with Elise." She told me, staring into my eyes.

I didn't know what she meant because there wasn't any context, but all I understood was that she didn't like Elise.

"Okay?" I responded, smiling awkwardly at her.

"Kevin doesn't seem fond of her and if his friends disapprove then she's obviously not good news."

We been knew sis.

"I don't want my son associated with her, or to be involved with her romantically. I know he's had a crush on her for a while but just watches out for him, please? I trust you, Bailey." She told me.

Um. What?

"But you asked me to help him with girl problems and with Elise, so if you don't want her with him why would you ask me to do those things?"

I was confused at this point. I knew she didn't like Elise cause neither did I, but when she brought me home she seemed excited to have a girl around Peter that would help him become comfortable around women.

The only thing that seemed to register with my brain and made sense was her wanting Barbie out of the picture and replaced with...

Oh.

"Don't tell me you're tryna set Peter up with me, Mrs. Kingston..." I trailed, my brows scrunching together.

I know myself and I somewhat know Peter. He's gonna get his heart broken by me, and I knew he didn't deserve that because he's not like other guys.

"Bailey, I see how he is with you. You've only been here for a week and he's comfortable with you. Unlike when Elise was here he doesn't stutter that much, and he touches you with no problem." She explained, squeezing my hand.

I shook my head and groaned, as I reached to turn the water off.

"Mrs. Kingston, I'm gonna break his heart. Relationships have never been a permanent thing with me because of the commitment." I tried telling her.

Holly purses her lips and then turned towards me with a big smile on her face.

Dear God.

"I'm not asking you to date him, Bailey. I just want you two to have a close friendship. He needs someone he can trust." She said softly.

I snorted, undoing the knot that held the robe closed.

"That's what, Owen, Nicholas, and Kevin are for."

Those were his best friends, and if you can't trust your best friends than you needed to let them go.

"He needs a girl who he can be comfortable with." She tried, smiling at me.

Did she know about my plan to seduce him?

"Mrs. Kingston I think you're misunderstanding something here. I like Peter but as a friend. I've known him a week now, and there are things that we haven't talked about yet and would just be weird to bring up now. Your son is a good guy and I'd hate to corrupt his innocent mind."

I did plan on getting sexual with Peter through our lessons but I wasn't gonna jump right into that until he was more relaxed around me.

"Again I'm not asking for you to have a relationship. I just want you two to be close friends because I feel like in a way you're his key to the outside world."

Holly was being really weird with me and giving the green light to a relationship with her son, but I knew Peter and we needed to spend more time together if I was gonna seduce him.

This felt all kinds of wrong so to get rid of her I just nodded and stood there till she left.

"Just think about it... please?" She asked her hand on the doorknob about to shut it.

I sighed loudly, running a hand through my hair before nodding and then shooing her out with a big grin on her face.

Dear Lord, what have I done?
