Nanny Affair

Chapter Seven

LISA COLMAN

"It's a good thing you found a maid to help out around the house," I hear Colette say while they're watching TV. She has been here for days and it's a nightmare for me and Ella. Ella keeps on talking about how she hates her and her food and I mean she's not wrong. Colette is a vegetarian and an arrogant one so for the past days Ella and I have been sneaking out to buy some food to at least fill our stomachs

"Yeah," Logan says. I can tell he's bored to death for watching the same documentary almost everyday but he cant say it. I felt like my world had crumbled when Colette introduced herself as his fiancée, I mean I had hopes that maybe one day my dreams will come true but then I had to find out that he's taken on the same day he kissed me. Life sucks

"Do you know how much I enjoyed Italy, we should go there sometime. Maybe for our honeymoon or even better we can hold our engagement party there," Oh and another thing, she just doesn't ever stop talking it hurts my ears whenever am around her

"Lisa," I hear her and as the good girl I am I quickly dry my hands and rush to her. Am her little housemaid as she calls it

"Please get me some water," she says not looking at me. Logan looks at her in disbelief but am already used to it, he's not around most of the day so he doesn't know how rude she is. How did he fall in love with her??

"Sure ma'am,"

"No wait, cant you get that glass yourself," Logan asks sitting up from his position

"I meant I could but it's her job," she says ignorantly her eyes not leaving her boring show. Logan takes the remotes and shuts it off getting a groan from Colette

"What do you think you're doing?" she asks looking at Logan her eyebrows scrunched

"Am asking you to go get that glass yourself," Logan says stiffly his face boiling in anger

"Sir, it's just a glass of water I'll go get it," I say walking back to the kitchen

"See she gets her job perfectly I don't know why you're making such a big fuss about it," Colette says and I hear here sigh

"That is not how you should treat," Logan says

"Then how...

Their argument escalates and I hear footsteps coming to the kitchen. Logan leans on the kitchen door frame his arms to his chest. I cant look at him, I haven't been able to since Colette arrived... No since he kissed me. It has been really awkward around us and I plan on keeping it that way until am done with this job

"Is this how she is whenever am not around?" he asks and I nod taking the glass of water but Logan jails me his arms on both sides of the door completely blocking the path. My hands are trembling and he can see that because of the glass in my hand. Why is he doing this to me? It's like he knows how much power he has over me. He makes my legs weak just by a mere glance. Feeling his breath so close to me is even worse

"I'll bring it to her," he says taking the glass from me but immediately his finger touches my hand I drop the glass. Yeah great, such a weakling. I feel my flames flickering as I look at his wide eyes

"Am so sorry," I say kneeling to collect the shattered pieces but with my shaking hands I end up hurting myself

"Ouch," I whine looking at my bleeding palm. I thought this only happened in movies. Please don't come close to me, please don't come close to me, please don't come cl-

"Lisa are you alright," he says taking my hand in his

"It's just a small cut," I say trying to pull my hand from him but he just holds it tighter. He leans in and gently blows on it. Oh my god, the things he does to me.

"Lets treat this first, I'll clean it up later," He says pulling me up

"But-" his narrowed stare had my lips pursed. He cleans up my wound as I stand there awkwardly hoping that Colette doesn't find us here. His broad stature is hard not to ignore. How his face was in all perfect angles, all his features were perfect, his jawline, his nose, his cheekbone everything in him complemented each other. And his lips, every time I look at them I wanna pounce on him and kiss the shit out of him but I cant no matter how bad I want to

Logan is not mine and never will be, it was a blessing that I got to feel his lips once and that will be the last, so I'll just have to watch from the sidelines as he pleases someone who's not in any way showing interest in him

"This is gonna hurt," he says holding up a bottle with a dark liquid in it. I close my eyes as the liquid burns up on my cut, this pain is nothing compared to what I feel everyday, watching my glimmer of hope fade away

"There you go," he says after tying a small bandage on it

"Thank you," I say calmly. He pushes his hair off his face and smiles. He looks at me like he has something to say but it's like he brushes it off and just nods

"Are you done with all the lovey-dovey?" Colette asks her voice strained

"He was just-

"Yes we are Colette," Logan cuts me off and blurts out. Colette shoots me a glare obviously telling me that am dead meat but I look down and pretend not to be affected. I excuse myself ignoring the way Colette is glaring and run to my room. I sit on my bed and look at my bandaged wound, it wasn't a big cut and it didn't need any treatment but the way Logan took care of me. I smile still looking at my palm and I can feel my cheeks burning. It's this little things he does that have me sleeping late at night imagining something that will ever happen

I groan and fall back in bed my eyes focusing on the twirling fan. The way he blew on it, the way he looked at me like I had been badly hurt. Why is it making it so hard for me? Maybe I should just quit and focus on myself coz living here is not doing any good to me. But Ella, she'll be pissed off when I do that, we have had the best times together and she's really getting fond of me being around. I cant hurt that little girl just because am not able to control my feelings

I have to learn the fact that Logan will never be mine and whatever he's doing is just a way of caring for me, he will never be mine!!
