Sky Of The Nights

Chapter 4

Sky's POV...

Max eventually finished his work, and takes me out for lunch at an American restaurant. While waiting for our food, he asked me a few questions related to my background. I told him that I used to work as a*****e assistant, which was a lie. A few minutes later, our food was served.

"Enjoy!" Max said to me with a smile.

"Yes, you too!" I replied, before starting to eat my lunch. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and a small salad. Max went with a steak and mash potatoes. We finished our lunch and drove back to the mansion. Max told me that he's going to meet up with his friends for a few hours, before coming back at dinner. He told me to just make myself feel like home. I nodded, and he kissed my cheek before leaving the mansion to meet his friends. Great! Finally some time to explore this place! But well, I do have to be careful. Literally this mansion has hidden cameras everywhere! Wow, this could be hard.

I didn't do anything weird though. Jeff and Tristan texted me asking how's it going here. I replied their messages, saying that so far, everything's been fine. This Max kid actually seems nice. Well, at least he looks nice now. I don't know what type of person he is in bed, yet. It's funny how I view him as a kid, just because he's three years younger than me. But hey, reality check! Of course he seems nice to me! I'm his slave! Maybe he's just using his charm to actually make me do better in bed. Oh great...

I decided to just listen to music on my phone. I plug in my earphones and listen as I sit on the king size bed in our room. While listening to the songs from my playlist, I remembered how Dean used to sing for me when we were still together. The thought about hearing his voice in my head made me let down a tear. Honestly, I miss Dean! I used to thought that he was the last man for me, ever since we began dating. Yeah, I've expirienced a few failed relationships from the past, but I never thought that he'll be another failed one. I've dated for 4 and a half years, which was the longest comparing to my other past relationships. But well, I need to let it go. He's together with his ex now. I'm sure he's happy. I just have to let go of the past and move on. Honestly, I'm not the type that would easily fall for someone. I know...I admit that Max was hot, but that's not love. Usually I need time to actually fall for the person. In this case, maybe that's why Jeff thought I was perfect for this mission. He didn't have to worry about me falling in love with the enemy. I eventually fell asleep while listening to music.

I woke up after a 4 hours nap. I rubbed my eyes and turn off the song that was playing on my phone. I check the time, to see that it's now 5PM. I guess I've had too much fun sleeping on this bed. I hopped out of bed and walked to the living room, sitting on the couch. One of the maid asked me if she could get me anything. I told her that I wanted a glass of water. She enters the kitchen to get me a glass of water, while another maid told me that Max told her to tell me that I can eat the food in the fridge if I want to, since he'll be back around dinner time, and thought if I get hungry in the evening.

"Here's the water, Miss Sky!" The maid gives me the glass of water. I didn't know her name though, so I decided to ask.

"Thank you. By the way, what's your name?" I asked her with a smile.

"Hanna." She replied with a smile. "Is there anything else you want, Miss Sky?" She asked me, in which I replied a no.

I drank my glass of water, and starts to observe my surrounding. I thought I could look around without looking any suspicious or what. It's not like I'm thief or something.

I start to walk around the living room, observing. I saw a small table that was put near the wall. On the table, there are photos of Max when he was little, and also from when he was in high school. On the wall, there's a big picture of Max with his father, Carson, during his graduation. Hmm..I wonder how many secrets are the Petersons hiding?

I eventually finished observing the living room, and so I decide to take an early shower. The maids told me that I could have a bubble bath if I want to, and so I did. Well, a little bit relaxing won't hurt right? The maids prepared the bubble bath. As I wait, Sarah texted me about how's it going, and I told her everything that happened so far. Well, she was a little surprised that Max had been pretty nice to me, knowing that his father has a bad past with women (maybe that's why many of them are now dead). One of the maids, Julie, told me that the bath tub was ready. I undressed myself and got into the tub, relaxing with the scent of jasmine, rose, and lavender all mixed in one. Wow, this is pretty nice! After an hour of relaxing in the tub, I got up, shower myself a bit, and went out with a towel wrapped around my body. I entered the bed room, only to see a turquoise lingerie on the bed. Ok, I'm pretty sure I didn't put that there. Maybe one of the maids put it there for me? I didn't plan to wear lingerie this early. I was just gonna go with my regular pajamas I brought from my old apartment.

"How's the tub?" A male voice asked from the opened door of the bed room. It was Max. I didn't expected him to he home this early. I was a little surprised, yet I have to keep my cool. His eyes trailed down my wrapped body. I look at him with a small smile.

"It was good. And I thought you would be home by dinner." I asked him. It was only 6:05PM now. Early dinner I guess?

"Actually yeah. But I'll be cooking tonight, so I thought I get home earlier to cook." He said to me, before calling Hanna to get the groceries out.

"You cook?" I asked him, feeling a little confused. I didn't expect this guy can cook.

"Yeah. I thought I want to make my favorite tonight." He said, before leaving the door to enter the kitchen.

I dried myself with my towel, and see that the lingerie is still on the bed. Isn't this too early to wear this? But well, I didn't want to think. I put the lingerie on and just put on a t-shirt to cover it, along with some shorts. Wearing a lingerie at dinner would be too much I think. I head to the kitchen to see Max cutting some carrots.

"You need some help?" I asked with a smile. He turned his head to look at me with a smile.

"Sure. You can cut the tomatoes. I'll deal with the carrots." He said to me, and so I did as what I was told. I start cutting the tomatoes.

Turns out Max is making more than one dish. He's making beef soup, salad, and chocolate pudding for dessert. Wow, the foods not even ready yet and it already sounds delicious.

After the food was done, we eat dinner together. I have to admit, the food was so delicious. I think I should thank him for that. I'm not a good cook, so cooking with him really helped me a lot!

We finished our main course and are now eating dessert, which was chocolate pudding.

"Soo..how's the food?" He asked me.

"Delicious." I replied, before I continue to eat my pudding. He formed a small smile on his face. Ok, that smile was cute.

"I'm glad you liked it. I remember I used to cook like this during summer break when I was in university." He said. "Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing back then. All I knew was that I wanted to cook, but well, back then my cookings weren't as good as today." He continued. I smiled to him before taking a drink.

"I guess it's like what they said. That everything takes time, and practice makes perfect." I replied to him with a smile. He smiles back.

"You are never too late to learn something new and practice something old. Just because you failed a few times, doesn't mean you are going to fail for eternity." He said while looking at me with a smile. I smiled back. "The important thing is..we are willing to try." He finished his sentence. His words were wise, I have to admit I was a little surprise, remembering that he's the son a big mafia. Yet, maybe there's something else about him.

"I agreed." I said to him, before taking the last bite of my pudding.

After dinner, he asked me to watch a movie with him in his room. Of course, I said yes. We ended up watching an action movie. In the middle of watching, I got a bit sleepy and told him that I want to brush my teeth first, which he said yes. After I finished brushing my teeth, he told me that he is going to go take a shower first. As he locks the bathroom door, I thought I checked my phone for messages. I got 3 messages from Sarah.

"Hey! Sky!" - Sarah

"So far..how's the little mafia been treating you?" - Sarah

"Oh no..don't tell me he's playing nasty!!" - Sarah

I laughted a little at the last message. Ok, surely I'm gonna find out the answer tonight. Now I'm just gonna calm Sarah down.

"Hey Sarah! So far, so good. Hahaha, and I'll be finding out whether he's nasty or not tonight." - Sky

Honestly, I'm a little nervous imagining how will tonight turn out to be. But well, trying to look at the bright side, I just hope Max won't play too rough. I put down my phone on the small table beside the bed. 5 minutes later, Max exited the bathroom with a t-shirt and some boxers. For a second I thought he was gonna go out walking around the room with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Hey!" I called him. He looked at me with a small smile. I could tell he was a little sleepy.

"Hey! I guess we're both wearing t-shirts." He said and we both laughted. "But maybe we can both help each other off." He said with a smirk written all over his face. I was catching the signal.

Before I could think of anything to say, he sits beside me on the bed and pulled me for a kiss. We both got into a french kiss, before he finally removes my t-shirt, revealing the lingerie I was wearing. He removes his t-shirt, and as the show goes, the night was long...I'm guessing you know what happened next. :)
