Sebastian

It's been a week since I finalised the sale of my apartment and today I was moving back to the mansion. Kyle came to help me pack up the last few things before we drove off.
We got early to the mansion than I had anticipated, I packed my car at the drive way and started my climb up the steps only to stop and turn around to look at Kyle who was murmuring things under his breath that I could not quite understand.
His lips were rounded into an ' O' as his green eyes gazed far ahead of him.
I followed his gaze to see a brown haired figure getting out of the swimming pool . I too just like Kyle, was awestruck. Before I could see her face, she turned around to grab a towel giving us a full view of her curvaceous back. Her provocative swimsuit blended well with her skin and her perfection reminded me of someone.
Before I could comprehend my next move, my feet took long strides to her direction until I was standing right behind her. She turned around at that very moment and to say I was shocked was an understatement .
"Rizzy?"
"Sebastian!"
We spoke at the same time and looking down to look at her brown orbs , I saw the same shocked expression that I too held.
" You, here?"

"Wait ,are you the Sebastian Richards?" The tone she used could only mean one thing and I couldn't help the smirk on my lips. I took another step closer to her that there was no space between us and I saw how she swallowed hard. Leaning onto her, I whispered into her ear,
"Were you expecting anything less Cinderella?"

"Er ,n- no it's not that. I just didn't expect to meet you again."
The way she hugged her body didn't go unnoticed by me and I knew she was starting to get conscious of her half nakedness. I grabbed the spare towel and handed it to her which she quickly covered herself with.
"If I may ask, what are you doing here?"

"Umm I work here. I am the new housekeeper."

" Welcome to my home miss-"

"Clarissa Morgan. If you will excuse me Mr. Richards." She said as she rounded me and began walking back to the house.
I turned around to glance at her one last time as I admired her long toned legs.
This is the start of many cold showers
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Kyle who was now standing in front of me with a cocky grin perched on his face.

"Care to explain what I just saw?"

" What?" I retorted back at him.

"Don't think I didn't see that look and how you are acting with that girl. You really can't keep it in your pants can you dude?"

"Shut it Kyle." I was getting infuriated by his taunts. He chuckled as he arched his brow in amusement irritating me even more.

"It's understandable Seb. I can only imagine the sexual heights we could reach in bed with such a body."
I was losing patience with him after what he just insinuated . Grabbing him by his collar, I seethed through gritted teeth,
" Not one more word about her."
He raised his hands in surrender and I let go of him.
The only bed she is going to be is in mine.

" Wow. Who the fuck is she? And why are you acting all possessive about someone you just met?"

" She is the girl from the club now shut it and keep those eyes off her."
As realisation dawned on him, I saw his lips break into another one of his smirks and I didn't wait to hear any more of his taunts as I made my way into the house leaving him to tug behind.

Clarissa

After what happened in the morning, I couldn't stay at the mansion .I wanted to inform Sebastian and Aurora that I was stepping out for a while but when I saw the cute way they were fighting and catching up, I couldn't ruin the moment.
I spent the rest of the day at Maria's who forced me to search all tabloids specifically for one person and the stories we found about him were outrageous and I couldn't help wonder if he was really the manw***e  they made him to be.

It was a little past dinner when I came back to the mansion and I hoped to the heavens that they had retired to bed. The lights were off which was a good sign for me. I stealthily crept into the house careful not to knock anything that might wake them up.
I walked down the hallway to the kitchen and switched on the lights to make myself a snack before going to bed.

I had positioned myself on the kitchen stool to take the glass of milk and cupcakes that I had prepared earlier before leaving when I heard someone clearing his throat behind me.
Standing at the door was Sebastian in a black sweatpant and a blue t-shirt that outlined his muscled arms .

" How long have you been watching me?"

"Since you walked through the front door now where were you?"

"You are my boss not my father. I don't see any reason you should know my whereabouts."

" It becomes my business to know where you are when you vanish in the middle of your workday."
I rose up to put the used glass in the sink before turning back to answer Sebastian who was now sitted on one of the stools.
"Next time, I will be sure to report to you Mr. Richards."
I was half way out of the kitchen when his next words caused me to stop.
"Were you avoiding me?"

"Do I have any reason to? We just met Mr. Richards."
He didn't say anything but he rose up and walked towards me and before I knew it, he pushed me to the wall causing the cupcake I had to land on the marble floor angering me, and towered over me letting his piercing ocean blue eyes bore into mine.
" Why do you behave like that night didn't happen Rizzy?"

"Because it's just that, Nothing happened."
Sebastian shifted closer and trapped me with his arms on either side of my shoulders. His eyes were challenging me to let him remind me exactly why it wasn't nothing . I felt trapped and I needed to escape and fast.
" This is inappropriate Mr. Richards . Do you treat all your maids this way?"
I asked him in hopes that he will back down . Instead, he took his one arm off the wall only to land it on my cheek as his darkened eyes intensely gazed at me never breaking contact with mine.
" Do you know what's inappropriate Rizzy?"
I raised my eyebrow questioning him to enlighten me refusing to look away to give him the satisfaction of intimidating me. He leaned over to my ears and whispered as his lips lightly brushed my earlobe as he spoke,
"What's inappropriate is you kissing your boss' neck and seducing him. And to answer your question, not all maids grind me to the edge in a club and leave butterfly kisses on me."
He said before leaving a feathery kiss on my neck that left an unwanted sensation at the pit of my stomach.
What the hell
As the weak moment I had wavered, I looked at him , nose flaring and fiery eyes as I shouted,
" The fuck I seduced you? That was my job and I had no clue who you were. Right now you are my boss and you have no right to act the way you just did Mr. Richards."
Ignoring my rants, he stepped back putting some distance between us and the smirk he had was gone.
"Whatever I just did was to jog you down memory lane and nothing of signifancy.
Now as long as you work for me,
One, Don't leave the house before making me aware of it.
Two, Don't refer to me as Mr. Richards but as Sebastian.
The rest of what to do and what not to do will be explained later. Understood?"
I shot him a hateful look taking everything in me to not roll my eyes at his commands and just nodded my head in answer.
He took quick strides to me before talking in a dangerously low tone,
" Say it."
" I understand Mr- Sebastian ."
Satisfied with my answer, he turned to walk away and that's when we noticed Aurora standing at the door.
"What's going on here?" She asked as she looked from me to Sebastian suspiciously.
Sebastian strode over to the counter and picked up the last cupcake on the tray and walked out stopping at the door to answer his cousin,
" Getting acquainted with miss. Clarissa,Goodnight ladies."
Aurora and I were left standing in awkward silence waiting for one of us to break the silence.
