Alex's Pov: (switch you/your to she/her)
"It's the day after tomorrow" I said. I don't know why, but I think her face changed when I said that. I wonder why, but choose to brush it off. I passed her the stilettoes when she wanted to enter her room. "Take care of this okay? Can I trust you?" I could see the blush crept on her face. Then she nodded slowly. She looked so cute and irresistible I had to get out of here. I swiftly turned and walked to my room.
I fell on my bed face first, exhausted after a long day of shopping. Never thought shopping could be so tiring. Then I remembered something. Her phone. I need to do some settings to it. Like the ability to know her search activity, contacts, call history and more from his phone. He cracked his knuckle and begin to do his deed.
Meanwhile, Y/n was in her room, still blushing from the previous incident. She seemed to realize that it takes a longer time to recover from a blush caused by Alex as compared to the blush caused by YeongHan. She decided to brush it off. She slumped on her bed as she was exhausted from shopping. Apparently shopping with the one and only Alex Carmelio Stephen, is even more exhausting then doing her daily chores. She remembered the stilettoes on her night stand and decided to take it out. She took out the stilettoes from its packaging. She ran her finger on the glittery gold stilettoes. They're beautiful. He knows her size and even the thought of that made her blush. She smiled. She enjoyed spending time with him today.
Then she remembered YeongHan. That wiped the beautiful smile off her face. She couldn't be liking her boss. She can't betray her boyfriend. This is wrong. "Stop getting flattered. Stop blushing" she slapped her own face. He's nobody to her and she's nobody to him. "Stop dreaming" she reminded herself. "You already have somebody else! He doesn't even like you!" She thought to herself.
She sat still on her bed. She doesn't know what to do. She's kinda bored and there's nothing to do except watching tv and reading books. She decides to watch Korean dramas to kill time. She's watching Goblin, played by her favorite actors and actresses. She was so absorbed with watching the Korean drama. How could she forget her deep interest for Korean dramas. She still remembered how she would get so engrossed with Korean dramas to the point where she would forget the world and it's content.
After an hour or so, there was a knock on her door but she didn't realize. She continued to watch the telenovela happening before her eyes.
Alex being the impatient man he is, barged in with Y/n's handphone in his clutches. He was about to give her a piece of his mind for not opening the door or respond to his knocks when he saw her staring into the tv screen like a living dead. An adorable living dead. She was so engrossed with the drama, she didn't notice Alex who was walking to her direction. He stood beside her and saw that she was gawking at the tv screen that shows an actor, topless. Witnessing that, Alex's eye twitch. Is she for real? He thought to himself.
Alex's Pov:
Hues of jealousy creeps into my chest as I witness her gawking over some actor's body. Oh please! My abs are way more defined than that bag of shit. She never gawks at my body that way. She even looked away when I was topless. The universe is so unfair! Out of utter discontentment, I cleared my throat loudly to catch her attention. She snapped her head to my direction out of shock and afterwards held her chest. "Since when did you come in?" she asked .
I smirked at her question. I was actually pissed off that she didn't realize my presence because she was staring at some other guy. "I knocked countless of times but you didn't acknowledge so I just budged in. I guess you were too busy staring at topless guys" I said with so much sinister contained. Hearing what I said, she widened her eyes. "What? You're saying that like I'm a pervert. It's just a drama that happens to show my favorite actor topless" she said and then avert her eyes back to the tv screen.
"You have such a bad taste. My abs are clearly more defined than his" I said stating facts. She seemed a little offended from that statement. "How could you say that? He's so handsome like a prince charming. It's okay that his abs is not well defined as yours. I still find him attractive" she said. My mind was engulfed by rage. So am I unattractive?! It's clear that I'm deadly attractive.
How long will it take her to like me? This is starting to get frustrating. I'm suppose to be her prince charming, not some pesky overrated actor. "I think I look pretty much like a prince charming don't you think?" I asked trying to fish out a reaction.
Her facial expression changes. It's as though she just had a pang of realization. Her brows furrowed and she looked somewhat confused. Did she remember something? Her eyes than avert to me as though trying to figure something out. Then afterwards she looked away and cleared her throat. I'm confused by the way she acted but chose to brush it off.
"I'm here to give you your phone" I said and handed her the brand new phone. She reluctantly took it then she stared at it as though it's a gift from God. "Thank you so much Bossman. I don't know how to repay you" she said. I smiled at her sincerely. "No. There's no need to repay me because it's a gift from me." I placed my hand on top of hers.
"I'm giving you this phone to contact me when I'm not home. Use it as much as you please. I don't mind." She nodded but still seem reluctant. It's okay, she'll get so much more of it once we're married. I mentally facepalmed when I reflect on what I just thought about. How can I be so sure?
"Hey do you want to watch a movie together?" I asked her . She looks at me surprised but gradually nodded. I then slumped on the comfy couch next to her. She was looking at me due to the sudden movement I just made. Then I turned my head to look at her only to see her staring back at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing" she said after clearing her throat.
"Let's watch Netflix. What do you think about Thailand Horror Film?" I asked her. "That sounds fun" she said but didn't turn to look at me. She seemed somewhat nervous.
There's a reason why I chose horror movies. Girls tend to get scared when watching a horror movie and would tend to cling to the nearest figure and fortunately for me, I'm the nearest figure.
I make sure to pick the scariest horror movie yet. The movie begun and the both us sat comfortably on the couch, side by side. Here comes the scary part where the ghost is crawling out of the well with a bloody fetes followed by a jump scare. The jump scare causes Y/n to bury her face on my chest. A mischievous smirk creeps on my face as I see our position right now. We looked like a couple. She then sit up and apologized. The cycle repeats for about 12 times until the movie ended. The both of us should do more of this together because I really enjoyed it.
"That was scary!" she exclaimed and covered her face with both of her hands. I smiled at her adorable reaction. "Rest assured you'll have a shoulder to cling on to" I said and pointed at my shoulder. I saw her blushing profusely at my bold statement. Then I saw that she has a guilty expression on her face. I know what that means. She won't be able to sleep.
"G-goodnight Bossman" she said and headed to her bed. I tailed her to her bed. I know I shouldn't be doing this but I felt obliged to do it. "You can't sleep can you?" I asked her. "O-of course I can?" she said guiltily. I know she's lying. She's a terrible liar but a damn cute one for a fact.
"I know you're lying. I'll keep you company until you're asleep" I said. She shook her head. "You mustn't. I don't think it's appropriate for an employee to be treated this way" she said to me. I shook my head. "I insist. It's my fault that you can't sleep due to the horror movie. It's only right for me to do this" I said. Even if it's not my fault, I'll do it anyways, because I love her so much.
She reluctantly nodded her head. I swiftly went under the blanket and positioned myself right next to her. She was utterly shocked by my boldness. I stupidly grinned at her because I forgot that she's not used to such treatment. "It's okay...Just sleep okay?" I pulled her into my embrace and for a moment I could feel her body tensed by my gesture. After awhile, she gradually relaxed because she knows she has no power to object.
I really missed this. Her in my arms not having a care for the world. Instinctively, I raised my hand and stroked her soft long hair. I could feel her rapid heart beating against her chest as our chest were pasted to each other. Joy filled my heart to the brim. I never knew I still give the same effect like I used to years ago. That rapid heartbeat, makes me sure that she still have feelings for me like how I have for her. After a few minutes, I could hear soft snores coming from her direction. I get my hands off her and stare at her angelic face.
She's so beautiful. More beautiful than I remembered her to be in fact. I couldn't help it but kiss her cheeks. They're so chubby. As chubby as I remembered them to be. Without me realizing, I fell asleep on her bed.
~The Day Of The Ball~
Y/n Pov:
Oh my god the ball's today! Half of me is kind of excited and the other half just refuse to accept the idea. I'll need to dance with Bossman aka Mr Stephen! This is just too much to process honestly. I'm not so comfortable with the idea but just thinking send butterfly to my stomach. This is not good. This feeling is wrong...He's my boss and it's time for me to realize that. But I just can't help it. That feeling when my heart sinks to the pit of my stomach every time he's around.
I've never felt this with YeongHan Oppa. Of course he's nice, but he doesn't make me feel what I feel with Bossman. The thought of it makes me feel disgusted with myself. I'm acting just like a whore by liking my boss. I'm no different from the ladies out there that craves for him. I have to stop. This is not good. I suddenly remembered the incident that happens 2 days ago.
~Flashback~
"I think I look pretty much like a prince charming don't you think?" he said to me. For some reason the boy that has been flashing on my mind aka Bossman's younger self, flashes on my mind again. Now it really seem like a flashback. It seems like I used to know this boy.
In the so called 'flashback', I saw the boy holding my hand and smiling at me. He was wearing a hoodie and it seems like we're sitting under an ocean of stars. It seems like we're star gazing. Then I see he kissed me right in the lips. Afterwards, my flashback ended.
~End Of Flashback~
Why are these flashbacks coming back to me? Why is Bossman in my flashbacks? I can't seem to make sense out of it. I decided to brush it off for now. I got off my bed and decided to take a shower before slipping into my maid uniform.
I decided to start with the living room because it's been awhile since I cleaned that section of the house. I took out the vacuum so that I can clean the dusted floor but I was stopped by a hand landing on my shoulder. I turned to see Bossman looking at me with a serious face. I smiled at him but his face remained the same, not even a stroke of humor on his face. My smile fade witnessing that. "Uhm...How can I help you Bossman?" I asked him to avoid any awkwardness.
"What are you doing?" He asked with a what seemed like an annoyed tone. I look at the vacuum machine and back at his face. "Uhm...Cleaning?" I said to him. He removed his hand from my shoulder and sigh exaggeratingly. "Didn't I tell you to rest today?" He asked. Since when did he even? I furrowed my eyebrows at his question. "Uhm...No you didn't" I said stating a fact. His face softens after I said that.
"Oh I didn't? Forgive me for that, maybe I have forgotten to inform you. I want you to rest today because you'll need a lot of energy for the ball. So...Let's put this aside" He took the vacuum away from me and put in the cabinet. He pushed me to my room and before closing the door he said "Change into something comfortable I'll be back in 10 minutes" and with that, he closed the door. I didn't know what he's planning so I just did what I was told. I changed into a white sweatpants, white sleeveless top and a long white, cozy cardigan. I sat on the couch and waited for His Majesty to arrive.
I'm actually excited to know what plans he has. After awhile I heard a knock on the door. Hearing that, I dashed to the door to invite him in. He looks insanely hot. He's wearing home clothes which makes him look so huggable. He's wearing grey sweatpants and white hoodie.
He leans on the door frame and then winked at me. For some reason my heartbeat accelerates rapidly from that simple gesture. Not only that, an unwanted blush creeps on my cheeks. I cleared my throat to remove all the unwanted thoughts. "You look...Cute" he said, scrutinizing me from head to toe. "What are we going to do?" I ask.
He then stood up straight and crossed his arms. "Do you know how to play video games?" he asked. I shook my head innocently because I clearly have never played that sort of stuff before. He then nodded at my response. "Come with me" He walked to his room and opened the door for me to enter. "After you" and so I entered his humungous room. "What are we doing Bossman?" I'm really curious as to what his plan is.
"You'll see" He said and afterwards walk to an antique bookshelf at the corner of his room. He pulled out the biggest book but not totally. Suddenly the wall right beside the bookshelf opened up revealing LED lit pathway to another room. He then stood beside me and from what I could make out, he's analyzing my face. I'm clearly amused and shocked at the same time. My mouth was wide open by then because this was not expected. He took my hand and pull me into the other room. What I saw was really thrilling. This secret compartment is actually Bossman's personal arcade and video game room. I was so exhilarated I almost forgot that Bossman was right beside me.
I could hear his husky chuckle as he witness me being a silly little girl, getting amused over little things. "Do you like it? he asked as he looks at the room and back at my face. "This is so cool!" I shrieked and jumped up. I then giggled at how childish I acted. He chuckled at how I was acting.
"Hey listen here...You're the only one that knows about this place. So can you keep this a secret?" I nodded vigorously and that raised my right hand up as though I'm making an oath. "I promise!" I said. "I'll always come here to relief my stress. You can come here any time you want because there's actually a secret entrance from your room." He said and flash the most charming smile I've ever seen. I nodded again and began to become even more jumpy. Instinctively, I hugged him because I was too happy. I've only realized my foolish action once he's in my embrace. After realizing the stupidest thing I could have ever done, I immediately released and apologized to Bossman. Stupid Y/n!
"It's okay. I think I can get used to it" He said and for some reason it causes me to blush insanely. I touched my cheeks and avert my eyes to another direction.
"Which one are we gonna do first?" I ask as an attempt to change the topic. His face then brighten up and pulled my hand to a race car machine. "This is for a warm up" He gave me a silly grin. I then look at him who take a sit to another race car machine right next to me. "This works just like the on in the arcades right?" I ask him and he nodded. Yes! I'm definitely familiar with the mechanism. I'm going to beat him in this. I put a mental note for myself. The both of us began choosing racecar and afterwards began the game. We played for 6 rounds and I won four of them! He didn't look pissed though. He just smiled at me when I giggled with joy.
"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. I really like it when you smile, you just look so ravishing" He said. That statement made me blush. Oh my god Y/n, how many times are you going to blush in a day? This is all Bossman's fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't blushing this much.
"Come on let's play something else" he said and lead me to the other end of the room. He wants to play a typical basketball game usually found in arcades. Oh my god this is so cool. I can't believe this. I'm so grateful for the luxuries I'm receiving now. Bossman is too kind to me and I know I shouldn't be too comfortable with his treatment towards me, but I just can't help it. Something's just pulling me closer and closer towards him. I know I'm starting to develop feelings for him and I also attempted to avoid these feelings but it's in vain.
The both of us spent hours in that room and until we tried all of the games there. I wanted to take a break so I sat on the couch not far from the PS4 area. Bossman stops playing when he saw me resting. "Tired already?" He asks me and chuckled. I shook my head. "I don't wanna play anymore" right after I said that my stomach grumbled due to hunger. I haven't eaten the entire day. Hearing that I facepalmed myself. Why does this always happens at the wrong timing. Oh god...My face blushed a deep shade of red.
He chuckled looking at my silliness. I could only grin stupidly considering the awkward situation I'm in. "I'm sorry" I pouted. "What's there to be sorry for cutie?" he raised his hand to my nose and then pinched it. It made me smile because it reveals to me a fun side of him which I never thought existed until today.
"How about we go for lunch?" he suggested with a smile that have yet to fade. I was about to nod when I remembered something. Yeong Han's going to be back. Today. Then the smile on my face began to fade and I know that Bossman noticed. "What 's wrong Y/n?" he asked me. Should I say the truth? He would freak if I said my boyfriend's is coming back. What should I say to him?
"I-I'm having terrible cramps. I don't think I can go out" I said and then I noticed he furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait what? Where? Is it terrible? How bad is the band? Do you want pain k-"
"I'm okay...I just don't think I'd be able to go out for now" I cut him of. Oh my god Y/n what kind of excuse was that? I cursed myself for being so dumb. "Do you think you'd be able to make it to the ball?" he asked with a concerned expression. "Because if you really can't I'd just tell my friend that I won't be coming" he said and I widen my eyes. He would totally not attend it just because I'm having cramps? He could've taken another plus one though. Does he like me? Oh my god, in your dreams Y/n, in your dreams.
I brush off my thoughts away. "No don't do that. I'm sure I'll be okay soon" I said and excuse myself. I walked to the entrance of the mansion because I wanted to greet YeongHan Oppa. I don't want him to feel offended because I didn't come and greet him. After awhile, I saw a yellow taxi appeared from afar. It was heading towards the mansion's direction. Soon it stopped right in front the mansion's gate. YeongHan Oppa came out of the taxi and saw me standing rooted to the ground, waiting for his arrival. I saw him immediately smiling.
He was jogging towards me with his right hand holding a big bag. He immediately hugged me after. It was a tight hug. Warm and it clearly conveys how much he missed me. It was as though he wouldn't let go. "I miss you so much!" he said between the hug. I froze.
I seemed to realize that I don't miss him like how he should be missed. In fact I forgot he was coming back. I'm such a bad girlfriend! He totally doesn't deserve this. He don't deserve me. He's just way too nice for me. I'm so guilty.
"Do you miss me hmm?" He asked me once he lets go of his embrace. I nodded because I don't have the heart to lie to him verbally. I'm the worst. "Let's go in. You need help with the bag?" he shook his head and the both of us head back to the mansion. I was saying anything as we walked because I was still guilty for completely forgetting him. I think I was enjoying myself way to much.
"Have you eaten lunch yet?" he asked me. I shook my head. I'm actually very hungry. Why didn't I just now? I'm such an idiot. "Do you want me to cook for you" he asked. I thought about it for awhile. It won't hurt right? I just nodded my head because my hunger is starting to get uncontrollable.
I sat on the kitchen counter while waiting for him to finish cooking. The aroma of the food is really mouth watering. The food is also visually appealing. He made cream-based pasta with mushroom and salmon. I could feel my stomach croaking in hunger so I immediately got off the kitchen counter and made my way to the food.
I was so hungry I gobbled the food down. "Oh my god...Eat it slowly baby" he says as he sat opposite me. "You really missed my cooking huh?" he asked and chuckled by the way I acted.
I nodded and grinned stupidly. For some reason I was thinking about my new phone. I think I should save his number in that phone.
"Uhm...YeongHan Oppa? Bossman gave me a new phone yesterday and I thought you should save my number" I saw him paused for awhile and afterwards give me a faint smile. He whips out his phone "What's your phone number"
I then tell him. I think I should start getting much closer to YeongHan Oppa because I know if I don't, I'll start to fall in love with Bossman. Which would be an ugly situation. It shouldn't happen. Maybe by sticking to YeongHan Oppa all the time would make me forget the little eye candy I had for Bossman.
Just as I devour the delicious meal that YeongHan Oppa prepared for me, I heard a voice calling my name. "Y/n?" I know that voice. It's Bossman's. "Is your cramps okay now?"
Oh Shit!
