That evening Irene came home drunk. Edward was beyond angry and actually refused to sleep in the bedroom with her. She rained havoc in that house so much so that I wondered how the hell I was gonna cope with the girlfriend around.
I was woken up by the blaring sound of my alarm. I switched it off and swung my feet on the ground. I put on my ear phones and headed downstairs to make coffee for the boss. Who knew I would be living large even if its not my house?
I walked out of my room and headed towards what I was shown as the kitchen. I looked for the coffee maker and found it at the corner of this extravagant kitchen. I looked for the coffee mugs and found them at the top drawer. I grabbed one and made his coffee which unfortunately I hadn't asked how he likes it, then rushed upstairs. Unfortunately I didn't know what room he would be in.
I opened the room that felt like his and unfortunately there wasn't anyone. I then knocked on the second room and heard someone moaning. I assumed that must be Edward and Irene making out. I felt a pinch at heart and angry for no reason. Well, there was a reason, this dude's face was the last thing I saw before I fell asleep. I dreamt with him and here I was wishing that I would find him and stare at his lovely grey alluring eyes.
I headed towards the stairs, I didn't intend on breaking them apart but before I could walk down, here was Edward in hymn pants and no shirt hanging a white towel on his broad shoulders. His abs were so lovely and I wished I would run my hands on them. Then looking down they led to a v- shaped loins and I could tell he was well endowed.
"Hmkkkkhmmm..." He cleared his throat to get me from the trance.
"Is that my coffee?" He asked and I realized that I hadn't offered him the coffee.
"Ummmm...yes sir. Here's your coffee. Sorry I never asked how you liked it." I said averting my eyes from this glorious man.
"And where are you coming from?" He asked taking a sip
"Ummm..I ..I...w..as l..l..looking for.."
"I don't have all day young lady. I gave a simple task and now your tongue seems tied." He snapped at me
"I was actually looking for your room to bring in the coffee sir."
"Drop the formality Em. She's not around."
"She is!" I blubber and held my mouth with my hands.
"Where is she?"
"Sorry. That was just a slip of tongue. I haven't seen her."
By looking at me he could tell that I was hiding something. He retraced his steps and went directly to the room where I had heard mourns. He opened the door quietly and peeped in. The room was illuminated in dim lights and therefore one had to squirm to see who was inside. Feeling not relieved he switched on the lights.
What he saw made him move a few steps back. He moved forward once more, then moved backwards again.
"Mark? You have been screwing my driver?" He asked quietly as he moved backwards.
I stood there waiting for the drama to unfold and let me tell you, drama did really unfold.
He wheezed past me like I never existed and Irene was right behind him. I looked at them running after each other and I smirked. Day two and the dramas were like good morning greetings. I turned back towards Irene's room and saw Mark leaving Irene's room looking disheveled mumbling at himself.
"Babe its not what it looks like, please listen to me." She whined as she tried to catch up.
"Don't you f*****g babe me." He roared at her and continued walking towards my room!
"Are you now going to her room? Are you f*****g her too?"
"Irene its day one of her job. How can I possibly be f*****g her? And by the way that's none of your f*****g business."
"Don't you dare speak to me like that. You know what I can do to you!" She exclaimed making Edward stop in his tracks.
"Go ahead and do your worst!" He said and walked inside my bedroom slamming the door behind him.
Mark came over to me and gave me an apologetic look. I only looked at him and shook my head as he went down the stairs and out of the house. All this while I was rooted at the top of the stairs where Edward had left me unable to move as I wondered where I would go to. Irene had walked inside the kitchen, so that was a no go zone for me and Edward was in my room so never going in.
I went down the stairs and to the store where they kept the cleaning equipment. The house manager I had seen the previous day was nowhere to be seen and I assumed I was the one to do everything. I took what was needed and started cleaning the house. Before I could even do a quarter here came Irene with her tantrums.
"For how long have you known Ed?" She asked me looking at me with dagger eyes.
"Since yesterday." I answered slowly continuing with my work.
"Stop lying you witch! Why has he just walked inside your bedroom? Are you sleeping with him?"
"Do you want me to?" I asked her corking my eyebrow.
"A bitchy witch I see! You need to stop what you're doing as I speak to you! Give me respect as the owner of this house." She told me pointing a finger at my face.
"So says the mighty Irene!" I retorted back at her. This made her give me a sounding slap that echoed throughout the house. And considering I hadn't taken a thing I fell with a thud and the last face I saw was Edward's.
I woke up in a strange room with Edward holding my hand and Irene standing at the window facing outside. I immediately felt afraid as memories started flooding back of how I used to be abused by the people I called family.
Edward noticed that and told Irene to get out. She cast me a hateful look and walked away.
"How are you feeling Em?"
"Dizzy but okey. Nothing I can't handle. Where am I?"
"In my room."
"s**t! I need to get out. What happens if anyone comes in?"
"Its my room. Nothing to worry you."
"What would they think? That maybe..."
He cut me short by kissing me long and hard, like a child having candy for the first time.
"Uum....I'm sorry." He told me as he looked away.
"I should get going." I am nobody's rebound' I told myself as I swung my legs on the floor walking towards the door. I muttered a thankyou and walked out towards the kitchen to have some water. He came after me and handed me some Advil which I gladly took. I sat on the kitchen island waiting for my throbbing head to stop aching and in a few minutes I went to continue with my work.
Throughout the day I saw neither of them until I heard some shuffling in one of the rooms downstairs. I went towards the room and lo and behold! There they were! Making out! I felt like crying and when Irene saw me she smirked at me knowing that I felt something for her man. I bowed my head and walked out. I had showed my enemy how vulnerable I can be! s**t! Not that he can ever be my man anyway... I assured myself.
