1199 Words
Simon groaned as he began to stir awake. His head was drumming with a dreadful migraine,and his body felt like he had been hit with a log of wood.
"Damnit!" He cursed silently. He knew he shouldn't have taken that elixir of paradise or whatever David had called it. He had taken five shots and now his body was beginning to whip him for his actions.
All he remembered was talking with Victoria when he got back. He really couldn't remember what they talked about, his thoughts were that he had passed out and dreamt about sleeping with this beautiful blonde. His eyes slowly adjusted to the decors of his room and then down to his body. He was naked.
His eyes slowly shifted to the other side of the bed and saw the blonde lady in his dreams, sleeping happily. Only that this blonde lady wasn't a random blonde but the nanny he had employed.
"What the heck?" His mind slowly replayed everything that has happened. From him kissing and exploring every part of her body, to him pulling her hair back as he held her bent her over his table before taking her to the bed and the soft echoes of her moans. His blood began to boil.
"Victoria!" He shook her. Victoria only responded with a moan. Simon put on a dressing robe and went into the bathroom to fetch some water with a teacup that he wasn't really sure how it got there. He wasn't even sure how his employee was in his bed.
"Victoria, wake up this instant, you slut!" He emptied the water on her. Victoria jumped up as the cold water met with her face. She sat up, drawing the sheets to her bossom. Her confused baby blue eyes met the hard icy-grey eyes of her boss.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He questioned her with fire in his eyes. Victoria began to feel the air stopping now as her whole body tensed up.
"Sir.. I... You..We.." she stuttered. What had happened to the sensual man he had been the previous night?, He was suddenly an angry beast waiting to tear her apart.
"You opportunistic slut! You took advantage of my vulnerable state and seduced me" Simon's eyes held more accusations than his lips even spoke.
"Sir please, that wasn't what happened. I didn't take advantage of you, we both had each other's consent." Victoria tried to plead her innocence.
"Spare me that Victoria, you knew as much as you did, yet you seduced me"
"You are nothing but an opportunity seeking bed-sharer. You appall me Miss Elston!" His eyes still shot daggers at her.
Victoria couldn't bear hearing his name calling anymore. She didn't know that was his drunk self, or better still she did find it awkward that he would speak with her.
"I am not any of those things, Sir. You, sir dare I say it that you seduced me and it led us here. You are as much as guilty as I am." Tears stained her lashes now as she spoke. However, Simon wasn't willing to accept this scandal as his fault, all night he had thought it was a dream. She wasn't anything much to look at by his standards.
" You sure do know how to put up an act just like how you know how to maneuver your way into a man's bed." Simon wasn't even sparing her with the name calling. Victoria thought maybe the other mansion workers could hear them, but she remembered that the rooms in this mansion were soundproof. She thought of running out of the room but decided against that.
Not only had Simon Abernathy seduced her into his bed, but he was also shaming and making everything her own doing. She wasn't the one with the sexy breathing on her neck, or the one with the tormenting kisses.... She called herself to order as her thoughts were leading her nowhere. She scanned the room for her pajamas but remembered that she had gotten completely naked from the sitting room. Her bonnet was the only clothing of hers that was on the floor. He had taken it off, saying that her hair was lovely.
"You don't have anything else to say for yourself huh? Cat's got your tongue? You knew I was under the influence of something and you still encouraged me "
"Sir, I didn't encourage you." She managed to say, even though her hesitancy had been dampened by his wicked kisses. "Why is he acting like he doesn't remember kissing me first?" She asked herself. "like he doesn't remember worshipping my body?" she asked herself amidst her sobs.
Simon's eyes hardened more and the air caught in her throat. The little voice in her head was trying to talk her into feeling more miserable than she already was feeling.
"You'll get out of this room this moment, pack your things and leave this house. Don't even dare breathing a word of this to anyone." His head ached more as he spoke.
"Sir please, don't do this. I promise not to speak of this to anyone, just don't fire me please." Victoria dragged the sheets to cover her body as she fell to the ground on her knees, crying and pleading for mercy. "Sir, I swear on my parents grave...." She tried to speak again but Simon interjected angrily. " Leave Victoria, Leave. I'll send you two months salary"
Simon gave her one hard glare before making to leave the room.
"I am going to the library now, I do not want to see you here. I'll ask Preston to drop you off at the bus station."
Simon slammed the door hard as he stepped out, leaving her in the pool of her own shame. Tears ran down Victoria's eyes as she gathered the sheets and wrapped it around her body in a bid to leave the room. She scanned the area for other servants and was pleased that none was in sight.
Her pajama was lying on the ground by the stairs where everything had started.
"You are nothing but an opportunity seeking bed-sharer. You appall me Miss Elston!." Simon Abernathy's insults echoed in her head as she gathered her things.
"Where are you going Miss Vicki?" Adrian asked as he saw her dragging her suitcases.
"Um.. I want to go visit my family." The lie had rolled out of her tongue painfully and she regretted it immediately as there was no way she would tell the seven-year old boy that she had slept with his uncle and he was throwing her out.
"Well, will you come back?" Adrian looked at her hoping to get some positive reply.
"I don't know Adrian, I don't know" she sighed and hugged the boy. "Give Audrey a hug for me when she awakens."
She made her way out of the mansion and into the car where the driver was waiting. She stared at the mansion one last time. She caught Simon's hard gaze staring down at her from the balcony. She continued staring at the mansion till it was out of sight before breaking down into uncontrollable tears.
