Secret Love

Chapter Four

"U-ummm, I apologise sir Simon, I was just... role playing the movie Peter Pan. Sorry if I disturbed you somehow." I answered.

"Why?" He ask bluntly.

""Because... I got bored so I think that it would be fun while cleaning." I smiled and he stared at me, which was awkward.

This family is somehow creepy

I continued cleaning but didn't role play anymore. From time to time I glance at Simon, just to see him staring at me all the way.

Why is he staring at me? Have I done something wrong?

"Alright, I've finish cleaning." I told him but he just stared at me.

"Teach me." He spoke after five minutes of staring at me.

"Uhh, it's already clean sir. Can't you see it?" I motioned my hand around the library.

"Not that, but... fun." I was confuse by his grammar.

"W-what?" I question.

"Sorry, English not good. Teach... me... how... to... have... fun." He spoke slowly and I finally understood it.

"Yeah, sure! I guess?" I agreed with a shrug. "But I have to finish my job first and when I finish early on any job, I could have free time."

"What you have now?" His grammar returned to his usual one.

Must have been hard for him to say the sentence before.

"Well it's 8:28 and the next thing on my schedule is cook breakfasts for everyone." I replied while looking at my schedule.

"I help you." He suggested and I was about to protest but he stood up and placed the book he was reading back to the shelve and pulled me by the wrist.

"H-hey! Where are we going?!" I ask and he look over his shoulder.

"Cook breakfast. I help you." He somehow said that in a 'isn't it obvious?' way.

"Yes I do know we're going to cook but... why are you helping me?"

"So you teach me fun." Even though his grammar is not that good, I still understood it.

"Okay...?"

"Look..." he stopped and faced me. "I no doing this for you, I doing this for I."

I couldn't argue anymore because we were already in the kitchen, which was really big as well! Though Simon didn't give me enough time to praise the kitchen and he just pulled me to where we are going to cook.

"What cook?" He asked and that took me a while before I understood it.

"Ummm... well... uh..." To be honest, I have no idea how to cook!

"You don't know cooking?" He gave me an 'Are you serious?' face which I avoided eye contact with him and look somewhere that's not his eyes.

"Tch. Dumb bastard." He said and I remembered what he called me earlier.

'Clumsy bastard'

I opened my mouth to say something but once again, he cuts me off.

"Hurry up Slow Bastard." I gave him a poker face but obeyed anyway since I'm just his 'MAID'

"So, anything I can help you with?" I ask and he looked at me.

"This your job but I doing it? Tch. Lazy Bastard." This does it.

"I have a name sir, thank you very much."

"Yeah, Maid Bastard." This was the time where I wanted to punch him but instead I just glared at him.

I held back since I was JUST a maid.

"Chop ingredients." He pointed at the vegetables that he prepared and I walk towards it, cursing mentally.

I took the knife, then started chopping randomly since I have no idea how to chop this kind of stuff. While I was doing that, I watch as Simon gracefully and fastly chop the meat and how he handle the stove.

Wow!

Since I was watching him, I accidentally cut my thumb and I yelp in pain. Simon looked at me as I placed my bleeding thumb in my mouth to suck the blood.

"Tch. Careless Bastard." He commented and I glared at him.

"I have a name."

"Yeah, Maid Bastard."

He then went to me.

"Let me look." If I wasn't a maid here then I would have criticise him as well.

I showed him my thumb then he left and came back with a bandage, alcohol and a cotton. He puts alcohol on the cotton then clean my cut, which hurts when it made contact with it and I wince. He then put the bandage with full of care and returned to what he was cooking.

"Just stand back and I cook." I was getting use to his grammar now.

"O-okay." I should be protesting because that was suppose to be my job but I didn't because I didn't know how to cook.

So I sat back and watch him cook. He was amazing at cooking. The way that he move his hand and his eyes from here to there. It was like watching your idol in real life!

"Mind if I ask why your English is bad?" I ask him trying to break the silence between us.

"Home schooling." He replied.

"Why would you be home schooling when you can go to an actual school?"

"I…" He stopped for a minute then glance at me. "I hate people."

"Fair enough…" I shrug and thought of a way to make him feel better since I saw pain through his eyes. "I sometimes hate the rain because it's cold."

"You're weird." He commented and I shrugged again.

"Weird is cool though." There was a moment of silence that all you could here is the movement of the knife slicing the meat in half.

"Tch. You gonna stare there whole day?" He ask while he look at me sidely.

I flinch as soon as he talks and I look somewhere that's not his eyes. That's when I realize that my heart was beating so loud and fast which I tried to return it at the normal pace, but it didn't work.

Geesh, what's happening to me?

"So about this Jericho, can you tell me more about him?" I tried ignoring the feeling in my chest.

I saw him glaring for a second but it disappeared as soon as it appeared.

"No one likes him." He said. "Do you like him?"

I widen my eyes at what he just ask and immediately shook my head.

"N-no… I mean not in that way but… he's still my master. It's just… weird for him to call me Love that's all." I explained.

"He has problem on girls, in other word he falls in love with any girl he sees. Just stick with me and you won't get trouble by him."

"Okay, if you say so."

The door at the entrance of the kitchen opened and three people entered. I recognize the blonde one that bump into me earlier, another guy with brown hair and brown eyes and the last one with black hair and brown eyes.

"I heard that there was a maid who got hired today and she's going to be cooki-" The blonde hair boy that bump me with a skateboard stop at his mid sentence when he saw Simon was the one who was cooking and his eyes travel to me then back to Simon, then back to me.

"Ummm, so the new maid is Simon?" The blonde guy ask and I blush in embarrassment because I'm suppose to be the one cooking.

"No." Feitan replied bluntly. "She no know cook so I help her."

"Ohhh..." the three of them looked at me and I felt like shrinking.

"Oh! Sorry to be rude but my name is Shane by the way." The blonde guy extended a hand and I took it.

"S-Sarah sir." I said while hand-shaking with him.

"Sasarah aye? What a nice name you have. This is Rain..." he pointed at the guy with brown haired guy..." and this is Psalm." He pointed at the black haired guy.

"By the way…" His face went closer until I could feel his breathe. "How come you don't know how to cook?"

I blush in embarrassment and tried searching for an answer.

"W-well… I-I…" Nothing came out.

"She's just a useless bastard." Simon stated and Shane chuckled.

"Well I'll be…" He muttered under his breathe.

"Hey! It's not that I'm useless, I can do any chores except cooking okay!" I defended but Simon just shrug.

You useless master!

"Pleasure to meet you." Rain appeared out of nowhere and held my hand while kissing it, which shock me.

His lip then formed into a grin, which was creepy and I wanted to scream 'help' but I remembered that I was just a 'maid'

"Done." Simon interrupted, which I was grateful, but I was thankful that he did interrupt because I pulled my hand back to me.

We all look at what he had cook and it was a steak with salads platter and smashed potatoes.

"Wow..." and not just that, he made ten plate of it!

I then counted all of the people that were going to eat and from what I remember, Leo has nine children and there's Leo. So that's ten of them. I silently sigh as I know that he didn't cook for me. Though wondered what I was going to eat.

Maybe the left-overs? I heard that the servants or maid usually have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"You're really pretty." Rain hung his left arm around my neck and I look at him weirdly.

"Tch. What you waiting for Maid Bastard? Christmas? Hurry and help me serve!" Simon commanded as he carried four of the plates already.
