Chapter one

1922 Words
Am at the window ,watching Miguel as he jogs. He's so hot! And I just can't stop staring. He usually has his morning run at six in the morning and am always at the window, drooling over him! Miguel is the second born Son of one of the wealthiest family in Ensenada , One of the most beautiful city in Mexico. My mum works here as a servant. We stay at the servants quarter which is close to the field, and thats how I get to watch Miguel every morning for as long as i can remember. My mum started working here when I was three years old and so Miguel and I have been friends ever since we were little. He's about four years older than me, and he's already done with college. He's never shown any love interest in me, but its all good. Kind of. Am sure the only reason he can never like me romantically is because he still sees me as a child! I know this because he calls me little Fabi! That has been his nickname for me, and I hate it! I mean, am only four years younger than him! I wish he could see that am a grown woman now! All he has to do is ask, and I'll be down for whatever he wants! I would say Miguel is the hottest guy in the whole world , but that will be an understatement! This guy is hotter than the sun! I lay back on my bed as soon as he is out of sight, and start day dreaming about him as usual! He has so many good virtues and the one I admire most is that he's not a play boy! He is also very mature and respectful! He never does anything without thinking it through first, and that's one of the reasons mum is always praising him. He and mum are super besties! And am sure it's because she's been taking care of him and his little brother Nicko, since they were young, mostly because their mum was never around much. They get along pretty well that he even calls her mum! As far as I know, he's never had a girlfriend before, and I hope he never does. That would break my heart to a million pieces. This guy is driving me completely nuts! Sadly, i know he'll never be mine, and I've actually come to term with that. My heart will always be content as long as i get to see him. Just the sight of him, brightens up my entire day! " Hi there baby.. good morning, " Mum say walking in our room, from the shower. " Morning Mum, " I say getting off the bed. " So.. What are your plans for today? "She says grabbing her clothes from the wardrobe. " Am planning on finding another job..am tired of sitting around doing nothing! " I previously quit a job i had as a waitress in a restaurant. I had taken the job about six months ago to help my mum out, in savings for my college fee but the owner of the place kept hitting on me! He threatened to fire me if I didn't oblige to what he wanted. There was no way i was going to fulfill his desires and so I decided to quit. The job wasn't even paying much anyway! " Am sorry for not being able to take you to college yet. Am really doing everything I can, " Mum says her eyes apologetic. " Come on mum! It's not your fault,and there's still time. " " I promise I'll make sure you go to college. I won't let all your smartness go to waste. " " Okay mum..and can you make me your delicious pancakes.. Am really hungry!" I say trying to change the subject. Mum is not paid much here, but whatever she makes keeps us going, and atleast we have a roof over our heads. I really hate it when she blames herself for things she doesn't have control over. She always blames herself for my Dad leaving us. He left when mum was a few months pregnant. The story is that my Mum and Dad met here in Mexico, as Dad was touring the place. They fell in love and got married after dating for a few months, and moved to the USA, where Dad is from. Dad never wanted children, and when my mum got pregnant accidentally, he ordered her to abort. When my mum refused,he kicked her out of his house! That's so f*****g messed up! I mean, who does that?! Mum stayed with a friend for a while, hoping that my so called Dad would come to his senses, but that never happened! He never even called once to find out how she was doing! My mum had no one else to turn to, and so she decided to come back to Mexico after many failed attempts to reconcile with my Dad. Anyway, am glad he left. Mum and i are better off without him! " Sure baby.. do you mind helping me make them." " Of course not," I say as we both walk out of the room. There's a back door that all the servants use to get to the main house, and we walk through it. " Hey there,morning, " Salma greets the second we are in the kitchen. She, mum and Lydia who is not working today, are the cooks and cleaners around here, and they are also the best of friends. Salma helped mum out alot when she was pregnant with me . She even got her this job. " Morning." " Ella, can you be a darling and take this breakfast to Miguel's room. He asked me to bring it to him but am a little caught up here, " Salma says. " Miguel's room?!" I ask my eyes almost popping out. Is she crazy! It's not like I've never been to his room before, but I kind of get nervous around him ever since I realized I had feelings for him! Being alone with him is dangerous for me! I really don't think I'll be able to control my hormones! But I can't say no to her. Oh no! "Yes, Miguels room. Are you okay? Why do you look so nervous? " Salma asks ,throwing me this curios look. " Am not nervous, and of course I'll help you out, " I say as she hands me the tray. " Gracia's , "She says still giving me this weird look as I walk away. Am walking up stairs and my heart is beating faster with every step I take. " I can do it! i just need to enter the room, place the tray on the table ,and then excuse myself, thats it! " I say to myself trying to calm my nerves, but its not working! I knock on his door, and he tells me to walk in. " Hi, I brought you breakfast, " I say nervously walking quickly over to the table. I almost trip on something, but I luckily balance myself. I hear him mutter a sorry as he walks towards me. Sh*t! Am so going to make a fool of myself. " Thanks little Fabi and please be careful, " he says taking the tray from me and placing it on a table near the bed. I wish he'd stop calling me that. Am almost twenty for goodness sake! " Okay.. I'll leave now." " Wait..Why are you in such a hurry? It's been so long since we sat down and talked. Anyways, I bet you haven't had your breakfast yet. Care to join me?" he asks smiling at me, and I swear am about to faint, from how gorgeous his smile is! " Uumh.. I don't think that's a good idea. Your mum might get angry," i say but that's not the only reason. Am still so very nervous, but am acting as cool as possible! " Don't worry about her, I can handle her. Come," he says gesturing me to sit on the bed! This guy is really tempting me! He's also crazy if he thinks I won't worry about his mum, she's totally crazy! She's the kind of person who believes that a servants place is in the kitchen, or in the fields only! She's also never liked the friendship I have with her children. She's already made it clear that we are servants in her house and nothing more by the way she treats us. " Please.... " he says when he sees am hesitant, and I have no choice but to agree. He's smiling lightly at me as i sit on the bed and he joins me. His hand accidentally grazes mine for a second as he adjusts himself on the bed and I swear my whole body is so turned on right now! " So.. How have you been? And why are you avoiding me nowadays? Have I done something wrong? " he asks , and I stay quiet not sure what to say. Well.. Ever since I realized that I have really strong feelings for him, I kind of started distancing myself from him. I didn't know how to compose myself around him. I also didn't want to act all stupid, or end up blubbering and say stupid things! " What? No..! I say creasing my brows while shaking my head nervously . " Why would I avoid you! I've just been kind of busy. " " Why are you not in School yet? Everyone else is already enrolled in college? " " Well.. I'll be enrolling soon too," I lie. There's no way i was going to tell him that we have money issues, and that's why am not yet in school. " Okay.., " he says hesitantly,and I can tell he doesn't believe me." You know if you need anything, am here for you, " he says taking a cup and pours some coffee, then hands it to me. " No thank you, That's your coffee. " " I think you need it more. You look so nervous, and your face is so pale!" he says with a smirk. " You should relax! Am not going to do anything to you. " He places his hand on my thigh and I tense! My breathing is starting to get heavy now, and am about to loose it! And he wants me to Relax! How can i do that when he's f**cking touching me?! What scares me is not what he might do to me, but rather what I might do to him! He should be scared of me, because I only have sweet but nasty intentions towards him. I really have to calm my nerves! I take the coffee from his hands, absent minded, and sip it without thinking. I think my hands are kind of shacky! " F*ck! It's hot! " I say as I place the coffee on the table. " Sorry.. Are you okay?" he ask his hand on my cheek, " Let me see." " Am good, don't worry about me, " I say quickly standing up. " I think I should go now. " I quickly walk to the door before he can say anything, but its locked from the outside ! I try unlocking it over and over again but nothing! Who the hell locked it and why?!
