"Eisha Sallow, I invite you inside my house," Aldrin uttered.
He reached out his hand for her, and all the maids of his house lined up watching the scene with awe. In all their time working there that was the first time that they saw their boss show attention to a woman.
Jadon stood in the distance staring at his boss in shock. Many had tried to get him to do that for them, to get an invite into the famous mansion but he never paid them any attention.
It surprised him that the crazy bossy girl he ran over with his car was able to do that with him. It was as though he was staring at his boss but seeing someone else.
He shook his head feeling some respect for the mysterious woman, she told him that she was never going to leave the house and as such, she made a place for herself.
Eisha took Aldrin's hand feeling her cheek flush, to have the man who made her heart skip a beat hold her hand ever so delicately made her fuzzy inside.
She stepped into the house happy, unless the deed to the house is ever changed, she had scored herself a ticket in and out of her beloved's house at any given occasion.
Even though she had been inside the house, she was still taken away seeing it from beside the owner.
Every part of the house glimmers like a jewel making her appreciate the man's taste.
"Do I take it that you have accepted my invitation to have breakfast?" Aldrin asked in a hushed tone that only the two of them could hear.
"Y-yes," Eisha replied looking everywhere but at him.
His hoarse voice beside her ear made the hair of her skin stand, and an exciting shiver ran through her spine making her yearn for him.
Aldrin took her hand and guided her out of the living room. The maids dispersed to serve them breakfast, Jadon decided to join them for breakfast to get an inside insight into what magical spell the strange girl cast on his boss.
Aldrin pulled a chair for Eisha and ushered her to take a seat. Eisha mouthed a thank you to him and took a seat, it never occurred to her that one day she would ever appreciate being treated kindly by a man.
Every move her host made sent tingles to her body. She liked the feeling, it was warm and unpredictable, unlike anything that she had ever felt.
"Help yourself to whatever your heart desires," he announced to her.
Eisha stared at him, her eyes roaming down his eyes, trailing over to his lips, his firm jaw down to his neck, her mouth watered at the thought of the delicious blood that pumped inside his veins.
The blood that was driving her crazy, despite having a bite not too long ago still yearned for more of it. It was irresistible to her.
Aldrin smirked, a knowing smile playing on his lips, he could tell what she was thinking about with how she was sizing him up.
The thought of her having her fangs down his neck was overwhelming but that had to wait until he had some food in him to withstand under-feed from her.
He cleared his throat and flashed her a warm smile, Eisha responded by looking away. She felt embarrassed being caught staring at her host greedily.
"You should have something solid first," he told to her.
He dished out a plate of food for her and placed it before her. "Dig in," he motioned to her.
Eisha picked up a fork and started eating her food, Aldrin followed suit and joined her in eating the meal He felt the flavor of the meal and savored it in his mouth.
It was the first time in a long time that he was having something as simple as a pancake and enjoyed it. "Mmmh," he let out a sweet moan to the tasty feeling hitting his taste buds.
He wasn't sure how Eisha did it but he was thankful, life returned to him after a long time and it came in a form that he never expected.
Eisha gulped at the sound of his moan, she took a bite of the pancakes, it was delicious but she could hardly say that it called for his reaction.
"Is it that good?" she inquired him.
Her words snapped Aldrin out of his trance, he gazed at her. A shimmering glint in his eyes aimed at her caused her to freeze. He looked at her like an answered prayer and she wasn't sure if she was ready so soon.
"I believe it is," was all Aldrin said before taking his attention to his plate.
The head maid and Jadon exchanged looks and shrugged not understanding a single thing. Their boss and the woman who had magically appeared into their lives not more than 24 hours ago were acting like a married couple, being comfortable with each other.
It was hard to believe the man before they were the same person they had worked under for all those years. He seemed different, happy.
Which was an emotion no one ever thought he could portray.
Feeling the eyes on himself, Aldrin raised his eyes to Jadon and the head maid, the puzzled look on their faces confused him.
"Do you mind if I ask why you both are staring at me," he raised a question to them.
"Will Miss...be staying with us?" the head maid asked.
Aldrin from her to Eisha who had turned her attention to him, the two held each other's gazes feeling a spark rising in the air.
"Yes," Aldrin answered without even asking Eisha if she was okay with it.
"I'll prepare a room for her the..."
"The room next to mine," he said returning his eyes to his food.
The head maid froze, she looked at Jadon and raised her brow at him.
The man was just as confused as she was. The man before him was an alien to him.
"I think your room would suit me better," Eisha uttered not too pleased with the idea of being separated from Aldrin by a wall.
She was not someone who went around the bush with the things she wanted. And at the moment, he was what she wanted the most, that too in every way possible.
Aldrin met her gaze, something about the look in her eyes told him that it wasn't up for debate.
"As the lady wishes, so it shall be," he noted.
Shocked gasps sounded from every corner of the room at his words.
