Aria couldn't believe she heard what Aiden said properly. No it couldn't be. She?! Work for him?! She rather starve! Aria thought inwardly.
"Don't be too surprised Javier I've actually been looking for a housekeeper and I think Aira here will suit the position very well" Aiden explained to Javier who looked like he heard someone say the impossible.
"If you want a housekeeper Sir we can arrange that but this bitch belongs to the club and the only time she can be allowed into the houses of people like you is when she is wanted for a night" Javier explained cooly.
"Now tell me Javier, do you know anything about me asides me coming here for you to decide what I want in a house keeper?" Aiden asked.
"No Sir but..." Javier tried to explain his point but was interrupted by Aiden.
"No buts Javier. I want her.." he paused and stared at Aria who was serving nothing but glares at him he smirked and continued "But as a housekeeper ofcourse" he added chuckling.
He walked slowly towards Aria,"that is if she is willing to work for me. I'm a gentleman so forcing women isn't really my thing" Aiden said smiling down at Aria. Aria in response scoffed, "gentleman my ass" Aria thought inwardly glaring daggers at him.
"So what's it gonna be fiesty lady, work with me or stay here with your nice friends?" Aiden asked sarcastically.
"Firstly the name is Aira not fiesty lady, secondly you saved me for now but you can't fool me, to me there isn't any difference between you..." Aria paused and glared at Javier and his goons, "and them" she added.
Aiden only smiled" you're right Aira, am no different, remember you owe me and I haven't really gotten over your smack since my cheeks still sting from them so letting you go scot-free won't settle well with me" Aiden replied her smirking then cupped her chin, "and what other revenge could possibly be better than working for me as my housekeeper fiesty one, besides you owe me and you can't deny that now since I've saved you twice on the same day" He explained to Aira calmly like he wasn't enjoying pissing her off.
Abi slapped his hands off"Get your hands off me" she warned him almost killing him with her eyes.
"You don't have all the time in the world to decide Aira because your little friends are itching to finish off what they started, the only reason they are holding back is me and once I back out you're dead meat. So what's it gonna be huh?, Me or..." Aiden paused and looked over at Javier and his men and turned back to her, "your gang of merrymen" he added smirking.
If someone ever told Aria her day will turn out this way she would have gone home and stayed hungry in the rather than be situation she was in right now. Should she refuse this rich brat's offer and stay here with these pack of wolves? She couldn't tell which was worse. Taking orders from her worst enemy presently or choosing the fastest way to her maker. "What's it really gonna be Aira? Think of something fast!" She inwardly screamed at herself. Why didn't she have magical powers ? Where were miracles when you needed them because if they really existed she really could need one now. Aria thought seriously to herself inwardly. Her brain and mind were in turmoil and she really didn't know how to get herself out of the mess she created for herself. She looked over at Aiden "He really was badluck" Aira concluded and overlooked him, she looked over at Javier and his goons and one look at them told her she really was going to be dead meat in Aiden's words if she stayed back but her pride won't let her accept Aiden's job opportunity laying before her in a platter of gold. Funny how life can mess one up, she has been out all morning looking for a good job that she could use to fend for herself, that same job opportunity that eluded her for weeks and finally pushed her to taking one job she considered the least of her options and now here she is, being offered one as a means of escape from the one person she would have sworn hours ago she wouldn't work for. She knew taking this job offer from Aiden will make him think he has won, he will certainly use that opportunity to deal with her. She would have taken it and quit as soon as she is free but knowing Javier this short while made her realize that she couldn't come back to her neighborhood anymore because he will be waiting.
"If you're thinking of your pay Aira, I can assure you, you won't have a reason to complain"Aiden added trying to entice her. Ofcourse the brat will pay handsomely, wasn't it why she was happy to render services to him earlier? Because Brenda said he paid well. But she didn't know the services she was willing to render earlier would be thwarted to the one she couldn't render. "Aira when will life stop it's silly tricks with you" she asked herself inwardly. She was emotionally exhausted and would do anything to go back to her little box of a room and rest.
"If she is going to refuse you, then I will have to keep her."Javier replied when he couldn't bear the deafening silence anymore.
"Besides she has a debt she promised to pay in kind" He continued looking at Aira and shamelessly not hiding the lust in his eyes. "We all have to agree on one thing afterall, she is one heck of a lady and I will make sure she fufills the promise she made to me" Javier grinned widely clearly lost in his imagination.
Aiden saw the way Aira cringed and made a face, he chuckled "am afraid you will have to hold on to your carnal desires Javier because Miss Aria here haven't decided on what her fate will be" Aiden replied smirking and winking at Aira.
She rolled her eyes at him and looked over at Javier. The only incoherent word she could come up with was "eeewww". Was she really that desperate when she flirted with this man hours ago? She asked herself. Looking at him made her want to puke all over at him, atleast that sight was better than watching him stare at her like she was a meal to be devoured.
"Aria you should learn not to make promises you don't intend to keep in the future because by now you should know life will always play it's funny tricks and put in positions you really can't get yourself out of" she warned herself inwardly.
"What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?, Mr disgusting or Mr Brat?" Aria asked herself inwardly
"Decisions decisions" she added.
With a deep breath which she let out with an exhale. She closed her eyes and opened them clearly noticing everyone in the room was on tenterhooks waiting for her decisions. "Good" she quietly complimented herself.
"So when can I start Mr Aiden" Aira looked up smiling and flashing her set of perfect white teeth as usual
"Tonight if you can" Aiden replied completely smiling back at her. He couldn't help ut, he was completely mesmerized by the most perfect smile he has seen since he could remember.
"Fine by me, it's not like I have anywhere else to go anyway" she replied looking at Javier who was looking at her like he lost all his life savings to gambling.
"Perfect" Aiden replied smirking at Javier and then at her.
