Chapter 7

Chapter 7

My head turned on the grand staircase of the mansion where the voice came from. That voice really sounds like him or am I just hallucinating?

The cold baritone voice changed and became so happy and it soothe to my ears that it seemed that it transformed into another person in my hallucinations.

To end that thought, I am patiently waiting for the two sons of Mrs. Eva to come down. I almost cranned my neck to see their faces and to confirm if my thoughts are correct or maybe not.

Wearing a black taslan shorts and a plain white shirt that perfectly hugged his body and revealed almost of his intimidating tattoo sleeve.

Goddamn! My thoughts are correct! Gosh. It's him. It's Zein!

He's laughing with his brother while going downstairs. Their conversation was obviously about girls, probably their girls I think?

The smile on his face suddenly faded the moment he saw me. His eyes widened and his lips parted in shock. But in a few moments he also recovered from it. He couldn’t help but to look at me from a distance in amusement.

Like his reaction, my eyes widened and my lips also parted in disbelief . What is he doing here? Of all people, why him? Why Zein?

My eyes went back and forth from him to the guy he's with. It's his brother obviously. Their features were similar. Wait, what? So, he's one of the sons of Mrs. Eva? What the hell!

Almond shaped eyes with a chestnut brown pair of eyes perfectly combined with an admirably curled eyelashes. The bridge of their nose are well-sculpted and their lips are heavily defined as cupid's bow which makes their faces perfect.

Their only difference were that their height and their body proportion. Zein is bulkier than his brother because his brother was tall and skinny but, he's handsome too.

"Boys sit down. Let's eat!", Mrs. Eva ordered them and they obeyed their mother like a puppy. Zein sit beside the youngest Gavinte. Just opposite my seat and his other brother sit on the other side of him.

Zein was staring at me intently. I also looked at him and his right eyebrow shot up. I didn't know what exactly he wants. If he wanted a fight or anything I just ignored it through rolling my eyes.

Dude like you, I'm surprised too. If I only knew that you live here, I wouldn't accept your mother's offer.

I want to tell that to him so bad but, I choose not to speak to protect my peace.

We started eating and I started to feel concious on my actions and I think someone is watching me. When I looked at Zein, I caught him staring at me and when he saw me looking he gave me a smirk and looked away.

"Oh! Before I forgot, since we are complete tonight I want to introduce you Dashiane to my youngest son, Zamuel. Zamuel, this is Dashiane your new personal maid.", Mrs. Eva said and introduce me to the youngest son.

I looked at Zamuel and I smiled at him. He smiled back at me. I'm a bit surprised because of his sudden expression. Did he just smiled back to me? I think he is kinder than his eldest brother. Unlike Zein, Zamuel has soft features or should I say that Zamuel's features are cute, opposite to his brother Zein that has rough features and ruthless expressions.

"Zamuel is eight years old. He's now on his second grade. I hope you can handle him.", Mrs. Eva said and smiled at me. I smiled back to her.

"I will do my very best, Mrs. Eva to handle Zamuel.", I assure her.

"Beside Zamuel is my eldest son, Zein.", she pointed Zein and we looked at each other. The way he looked at me gave me chills from my head down to my spine.

"Beside Zein is my second born son, Zeus. Are they handsome? I hope one of my son will be your boyfriend or husband someday." Mrs. Eva jokingly said and with that Zein and I suddenly choked.

Rosetta hurriedly give me some water while Mrs. Eva is giving Zein his water.

"Are you two okay? I'm just joking." Mrs. Eva laugh a bit with our sudden reaction of her joke.

That joke is the words that I hope not to happen with me. I can't imagine myself with Zein. I think I will die in anger with him. In Zeus, I can't picture myself with him also. He's not my type at all and I think they both have the same personality with Zein. In Zamuel, I don't think so. He's too young for me. I know that it's just a joke but, I found myself overthinking about it.

That dinner was a good one but then I can't eat peacefully because of Zein. He's watching me and it feels awkward when he's around. I don't know what's gotten in me. I've never been felt concious when others are watching me, honestly I don't mind but, this man was really different. He's like a witch that has spell and try to trick me using word chants.

I went to my room to check my phone and I saw some missed calls from Joaquin. Why did he called me? Is there something going on?

I was worried so I dialed his number and I waited for him to answer the phone. It took him so long to answer but in some few minutes, he finally answeres the call.

"Hey! I was calling you earlier but, you didn't answer.",He said when he answered the call.

"I'm sorry I left my phone in my room. I was downstairs and I have a dinner with my bosses.", I explained. I was walking through my bed and sit at the edge of it.

"No, that's... alright. I wouldn't mind. Uhm...did you...transfer into another university?", He said out of the blue. I tilted my head, feeling uneasy.

I didn't tell him that I will transfer I just told him that I got hired and got my new job. I forgot to tell him about that.

"Uh...yeah. It's just a sudden decision. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it.", I feel sorry about that. He didn't respond after I said that. I was about to talk when he finally talk.

"No, it's okay. I know you're busy and I know that you decide for the best of you. Can we meet some other time? Uhm...if you're free...", he said. I know that it's really a big deal for him that I didn't tell him about it 'cause we get used to tell each other about our plans and everything but, it's like I didn't care about him.

"Yes, of course! I think this Saturday. I'm free all day.", I said excitedly. I heard a woman's voice on his background. I think he's outside with his other friends. But, it's kinda strange for me to hear a woman's voice around him. He doesn't have any girl friends, only me.

"Okay, on Saturday! Don't forget. I need to hang this up. We have practice game. Bye.", He only said and hang it up without hearing any word for me. It's very strange of him. I just didn't see him almost a week but, it seems that I didn't know him already or it's just I'm overthinking?

I put my phone on the side table of my bed and walk toward the bathroom to take a half bath. I just want to release my stress.

This day seems to be a very disaster in my life. There are lots of happenings. I didn't know that Zein my enemy was one of my bosses. I can't imagine how will I survive living here with him. Thanked God 'cause he's not the one I will take care of. I'm really greatful for that.

When I'm done, I just use a blower to dry my hair. I'm wearing a navy blue silk satin sleepware panjama. Mrs. Eva bought it for me. It perfectly fits on my body like it was really made for me.

I suddenly looked at the window and I saw the night sky. It was in shade of dark gray. The stars looked like a glitter in the sky that shines brightly in contrast with the color of the sky. The beautiful luna was full and bright. The view is really calming.

After I apreciate the night sky, I get my phone to see the time and I saw that it's already ten thirthy in the evening. I realized that I need to go to sleep 'cause I need to wake up early in the morning. But, I'm not yet sleepy.

I went downstairs and walked straight to the kitchen to get some milk. I pour my glass and drank it.

"Can't sleep?", I almost choked and when Zein suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The glass of milk almost slipped out of my hand in shock.

Wearing a beige hoodie paired with black taslan short and a pair of white socks and black slides. He looked so fine with that! Nice outfit, man! And He's also wearing his intimidating stare on me.

What the hell is he staring at?

"W-What are you doing here?", I know that I looked liked I saw a ghost 'cause I was too startled about his sudden appearance. He just stared at me in a serious face.

I started to panic when he started walking towards my direction without tearing his stare on me.

As he get closer, the more I stepped backwards until I cannot take any step and my back hit the door of the fridge, cornering me with his arms against the door of the fridge.

What was he planning to do? He shouldn't do anything wrong 'cause I'm ready to kill him.

He still staring at me and it was so intimidating. Gosh, what is he doing? This is driving me crazy.

"Are you asking me what am I doing here?", He chuckled after saying that and looked away. "This is my house that's why I'm here. Actually, I should be the one to aske you about it. What are you doing here?", his expression changed and became serious and intimidating again.

"Didn't you hear you mom earlier? I will be you brother's maid.", I said and crossed my arms.

"Alright, then. Aren't you saying something to me? Like uhm...sorry?", He said and tilt his head wanting an answer.

"Why would I? You should! You're at fault at the first place. If you're not rude to me, I wouldn't throw my shoe on you, but you're not.",I said that makes his face irritable on me.

He was about to say something but, suddenly his phone rang. He picked his phone on his pocket and I saw the name 'Shanea' on the screen then he left me on the kitchen with some anger issues on him.

He's really a jerk. He was expexting me to apologize? No way! Apologize his ass. I would never apologize for what I did. I know what I'm doing and I know what's right. I wouldn't say sorry about it over my dead body!

I really hate this guy. I think we will not get along and I  have a problem with that. My life will be in hell 'cause were living in the same roof as him.
