I walked down the stairs to the dining hall . Aaron was sitting, and the maids were politely standing aside . There was nothing out of place and the servants of this house were as if he would shoot if they let out a sigh of relief.
I came towards the dining table and Aaron looked up at me. His eyes were looking at every corner of my body as if I was just a dish meant to be savoured . My insides melted and my stomach formed a twist , I have hated my body for reacting in such a shameless way and to that guy who I despised now . He lips twitched a little as if he had read my thoughts. He let his linger all through my , from my feet , ankles , knees up along my hips and waist to chest and the face , finally letting his gaze rest on my eyes . His greenish black orbs gazed intently as of penetrating through my body and acquainting with my very soul.This is not uncomfortable at all , peace out.
I walked around to sit at the furthest corner from him but he saw my motive and pointed to the seat beside him . I was fuming from within but didn't wanted to show him cos that's going to prove me a damn fool . I already have dishwashing punishment waiting. So I calmly walked around avoiding his gaze and sat down on the chair next to him. The maid came and served me with the dishes , and I started eating . All the while I was feeling his strong gaze burning holes at me . All I wanted to do was run back to my room and never see his face again but I was not that lucky nor did I have the potential to kick his balls and ask him to mind his own business , I was a mere girl who wanted to fit into the world right but ended up on its wrong end always .
After having the break fast , I stood up to leave . I could not be more happy, but universe always had a way to break it and hence ...
" Where do you think you are going"
" To the room "
" Of course but I need to show you something "
" What is it ?"
I was afraid of his surprises . The last time he called a surprise , he took me to a wedding gown designer. Nevermind, we got married after the stunt I pulled at the shop. Huh... What is it now .
He will probably present me a baby shower
Oh god ...how fucking creepy .We walked to the hall and I saw someone sitting there .There was a man, He was tall and looked in his late forties.
One of the maid served him something in a tray . Maybe coffee.
Why is he here.? Oh my god is he a honeymoon guide!!?
' Shut up, or I will pluck your eyeballs out.'
I scolded my inner me and she zipped.
Honeymoon guide.... Wait is that even a thing? Who takes a guide to honeymoon...
That would be so awkward. eww. ....
' Shut up '
My inner voice was irritating me again and this time she shut up for real." Hello Mr . Greasley. Nice to meet you "
Aaron extended his hand and Whoever this person was , shook it.
" Nice to meet you too. Mr Steele .
Is this the young lady ,you were talking about ? "
The man looked at me and asked . I couldn't understand , Aaron had told him about me but what did he say ?
" Yes she is the one. She is keen on learning business development and accountancy . I thought you would be able to help her with that ."
" Sure . Hello , Miss Beckfords."
I couldn't grasp the motive behind Aaron's sudden nice behaviour. This new guy is supposed to tutor me ,I guess. But why would Aaron want me to study .
Someone shaking my shoulders brought me back from my world and I looked at Aaron . He shook me . Jerk.
I looked at Mr . Greasley , he was looking at me , expecting me to say something.
" Uh... Pleased to meet you ,Mr greasley"
I said it a rush.
" The pleasure is all mine , lady "
He told with a real smile . And I reciprocated it .
This man seemed nice , maybe he can teach me well too. I couldn't help but feel happier . I wasn't able to study ,what I wanted until now . But Aaron did this . Why??
After talking to Aaron , Mr Greasley waved at me and left .
Aaron turned back and came to me .
" You can start from tomorrow. He will come any four days in a week . The rest of the days you can cope up with all the work or take a break."
" Okay....."
Aaron started to leave and went to the stairs , to go up to the bedroom. I wanted to ask him many questions, but whenever he comes close ,all I can do is shut up. Nothing comes out of my mouth and my mind goes all blank. Whenever I try to speak , I end stuttering.
Despite of all this ,..
" Aaron "....
" Yes..."
" Um.... W-Why did you do this ?"
He thought for some time and then ..
" I wanted you to spend your time in a way you would like . Well I could have taught you but that would not be to your liking so I called someone else who can do it like me or perhaps better . "
" I ..uh...I .
T-Thanks "
Even after the conversation my mouth was behaving like a fish . Gaping and closing ,periodically.
Aaron's eyes were darkened by now. All my stuttering only leads me to this . Stupid me and my larynx.
" If you don't want me to come and kiss you , I suggest you leave and do the dishes"
I nodded my head not, able to answer anymore without stuttering, I found it as a better option. But when I finally understood what he had said ..
' What .....'
I couldn't think but gape and feel a little envy over his memory ,after all this remembered my punishment.Ugh.... Stupid rich idiotic jerk.....
