Bewildered

Feelings

Samuel

Every time I look at her I feel the need to protect her. From who? From anyone and everyone. Making sure she was as comfortable as possible was my priority. Not because I had any interest in her. I just wanted to make sure nothing was bothering her. Maybe that would help speed the process of her gaining back her memory.

"As I mentioned last night, I want you to speak to her everyday and inform me of any updates. Also, give Maria less chores. I want them to spend more time together. I think it will help Mia regain more memories" I said, giving Francisco my new orders.

Francisco nodded and agreed with this new plan.

I walked out of my office to the kitchen to find my cook,my beautiful old nana, and my only motherly imagine I had giving cooking classes to Mia.

"You have to measure the salt correctly, it is very important. If you don't, you will put more than needed or less than needed" Mia looked so innocent and beautiful.

Fuck! I can't think like that. She's way to young, plus I'm supposed to be protecting her. As I finish with my sinful thoughts my Nana turns towards me.

"Sammy, mi amor! Come in and sit!" She says and pulls me towards the kitchen island and to a stool. "Sit! Mi tesoro, I have your shake ready!"

As she hands me my drink, I sit quietly. Mia turns and gives me a confused look. My nana being her usual chatty self , starts telling the story of how she ended working for the family before I was born.

She usually likes to tell the version, that don't include the details, of how hours after I was born my lovely mother left me with her to take care of me. With the instructions not to be bothered unless they wanted to lose their jobs.

"Thank you nana" I say, and I leave the ladies with my nana almost finishing the story. She was getting to the juicy part, were my parents had gotten a divorce and father had custody of me, I started calling her 'nana' if there was one person who didn't accept how much of a boss I was or the power I had, was my nana. To her I was always her baby or 'niño'. (Little boy)

Mia

After eating some delicious lunch, and helping nana around the kitchen, well... truly I had only made a complete and total mess. Thank goodness Nana is such a sweet old lady. I decided to walk back to my prison.

My life was becoming so predictable, from sleeping to eating to once again eating. It was getting dark and I was getting hungry, again. I guess that's what happens when you have three options... eat, sleep, and repeat!

A knock on my door."Come in!"

" Great news! You need to dress nice! the boss is waiting down stairs for you to join him for diner!" Mari comes in with the news.

What? Maybe I was just dreaming?

"What? No way! He hates me!" I said, given her 'are you crazy' look.

Mari started giggling.

" That's what I first thought, that Francisco was just playing with me, to see what I would say about you. But seriously! He's waiting for you! Now, hurry up! You don't want to keep the boss waiting!" She says, and pulls my arm to get me off of the bed.

I still couldn't believe it.

I decided to put on a maxi flowery summer dress, nude sandals. And just a little bit of lip gloss. I was standing next to the dinning table when he finally spoke to me.

"Please. Sit."

Two words. I had been here for two months already and I only received two words from him.

"Tomorrow, I have to attend a gala, for one of my projects. I would like for you to attend with me" My beast informed me.

I was in shock! Twenty two words and an invitation! Of course I had to keep count... could you tell how exciting my life was!?

"I.. I... think it's to risky. Don't you think?" I nervously asked.

He stopped eating, placed his silverware down gently, and finally glanced at me, with an intriguing expression.

"if I would considered it been 'risky' do you think I would've asked?" He sounded so irritated.

I didn't know what to answer.

"Of course not. but, I'm still wondering if... it's a good idea," I bit my lower lip. "Why invite me if we're unsure if it's a good idea?"

I think he was now, more than mad. Now he looked really pissed off!

"Are you questioning my intelligence?" He got up and walked towards my seat, placing his arms on each side of me, caging me with them.

Oh God!

"No!.. I, I... would never do that. I jus... I just think of all the precautions we are taking, and now me going out for the first time, it.. it's scary" I bit a little harder on my lip to keep it from trembling.

He nodded in agreement. And removed his arms from my side and walked towards the glass walls.

"I understand, your worries. But, people are starting to talk. Many know that I have you living here, and asking why you don't go out. So, now we are starting to fall into another predicament"

"Ok... well, whatever you think is best."

"I'm glad we agree... goodnight."

He says, and begins walking away.
