AMELIA'S POV
The next morning was very bright and beautiful the light of dawn seeped into my room and dappled sun shone through the trees , creating mysterious shadows , the clouds were not too many to block the light so the day it's self was bright and lively .
Usually waking up wasn't a simple task for me .
, I wasn't a morning person after all ,I groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit up my face , I heard my alarm ringing
"Ugh, it's almost time " I said as I crawled out of my warm bed , I didn't make any discussion since I agreed to myself that am starting a life of being a morning person , life was really getting complicated at home and I had to do my role to save my family especially saving my father who was very sick and yet needed a lot of money for treatment, what would happen if I become lazy ??? My mother can't don't everything alone without my help . Noo she can't
"Amelia what's wrong with you "Said Milan my sister, she was standing right in front of me touching her waist and she raised her eyebrows
"What ??? Is there anything wrong??"
"And you are waking up this time ??? Amelia let me hope that you are kidding because you can't wake up this early"
She was wearing her pinkish baggy pajamas which looked really funny on her and black flip flop that he stole from dad because she admired them a lot and her hair strands stick out and curl up sporadically in different directions causing uneven and messy textures that don't align with the main body of the hair I can simply call it frizzy hair and her hair being a mess was something that looked good on her .
"Waking up early is my habit dear"
A laugh escaped from between Milan's pursed lips , the corners of Milan's lips curled, involuntarily and she fought back as her cheeks swelled momentarily with the pressure but it was no use . Her laughter erupted , echoing down the room as she bent over slapping her knee repeatedly , her laugh floated through the air like a melody , she just lost control and roared
"Amelia, I can't believe how you are telling me that waking up early is your habit , from when ???"
" Milan get out I need to take a shower "
I went in the bathroom to take a shower , it was cold water but I loved it, we are not those rich people at home who can afford hot water in the bathroom but cold water didn't harm us either.
I was feeling cold water falling towards my body and my eyes were closed recalling the dreams I had that last night . I liked bathing because I loved cold water falling towards my body .
I then I went to apply the cream on my body and I wore some little make up and it was only a lipgloss because i didn't like makeup at all , genuinely make up wasn't my favorite
I wore a mini dress which was a little tight and I had a necklace in my chest , I loved that necklace because it was a birthday gift from my lovely dad , and I wore earrings too ,
I looked my self in the huge mirror which was hung in my room on the wall , I was actually looking my outfits, when I looked myself right in the mirror I reckoned that I was becoming fat and decided to jog every morning .
I went in the salon to take breakfast with my family, when I entered the dining room I found mom, dad and Milan waiting for me
"What took you so long Amelia??? , here's your breakfast dear "
It was a feast for the eye and a certain delight for the palate : soft scrambled eggs , dotted with cheddar cheese , juicy sausage patties , flecked with red pepper , Belgian waffles , oven fried red potatoes and some Florida orange juice
We loved that breakfast so much it was really delicious and appetizing
I loved how mom cared about us , actually i never thought of a life without her , and I never thought of a life without her existence, because I know that life can be as bitter as hell , she was the one who waked me up every morning, she was the one who prepared our daily meals , she was the one who cared about our dad , and I can simply say that she was our angel .when we were having a breakfast I heard my phone ringing and I told myself that of course it must me Isa calling me , reminding me about the work . I loved it , because she couldn't manage to go anywhere without me
"Hello ";I said
"Amelia come I'm waiting for you "
"I'm taking breakfast,come and we share babe"
"Amelia I can't , you know ....
"Juicy sausage patties, …..
"Juicy what …. Amelia open the door I'm coming
I knew that you can Win isa's heart when you give her her favorites , she was kind of a Girl who loved eating and sometimes I used to tease her saying that she is becoming fat.
She joined our breakfast, we ate and went to work
I went straight in my office but no one was there , even Aiden wasn't around , I was all alone in a big office filled with many documents , however I was very curious, I felt like opening all documents and see what was inside , I was really curious and always wanted to try new things , and this is what I wanted , to be in the office alone and do whatever I wanted without Aiden's presence .
Because his presence was like his absence , when he is around we don't talk , I hate that he is always calm and he can't laugh anymore, I've never seen him laughing, and I can't dare talk to him , he is always giving me orders , telling me my mistakes, always rude on me ….my god there is no words to describe me and Aiden alone in the office because that's the worst life I have ever seen .
He can't look at me either it's like he doesn't notice my beauty...…"Ugh ! That's too much" I told myself, maybe am not his type and I can't love him too , why do rich people say that other people are not their types
"He is not my type too "I told myself "and I can't dare date him either and I can't allow him to date me, since I don't like arrogant guys like him" those are words that I was telling myself in my heart , my eyes were looking at everything in the office, I was staring at pictures that were hung on the wall in his office , in those pictures I saw a picture of a woman who seemed to be in the same age as my mother and I noticed that it must be his mom , they even looked a bit alike because they had the same eyes and the shape of their nose was alike , I saw another picture of a man who seemed old and I noticed that it must be his dad , I saw another picture of a guy who looked exactly like him
"Oh shit this must be Aiden's twin" I told myself , they looked exactly the same
I saw another picture of a girl with Aiden in the same picture, Aiden was smiling and for sure it was my first time seeing Aiden smiling , yeah he looked perfect smiling but I can see that smiling wasn't his habit , and I didn't recognize the girl in the picture who made him smile , maybe it must be his girlfriend , I didn't know , I continued looking everything, how the documents were arranged, touching everything
"And now you are in my files"
I heard a voice behind me , my heart rate and my breathing rate accelerated and I was really paralyzed by fear , I didn't have words to explain why I was in his documents , fear clawed over my body , prickling my skin , I could hear the slow , dragging beat of my heart , I felt a sharp bolt of fear , panic shoots through me and I looked behind
"Ugh !!!! Silly it's you"
My dearest God it was Isabelle who had imitated Aiden's voice , exactly the sound I heard was Aiden's exactly Aiden's and I could repeat that I heard Aiden's voice , Isabelle knew how to imitate people's voice a hundred percent
"why are you scaring me ??? I thought that it's Aiden , do you know how much I felt a clutch of fear ???? Isa …..
"And why are you in his documents??? Maybe he has some secret things that he doesn't want anyone to know about"
"Isa I wanted to look at everything, you know about my curiosity, and you always told me that curiosity will kill me"
I looked through windows and saw Aiden's car parking , he came out from the car , he was with a woman who seemed to be in the same age as my mother and that woman looked exactly like the one I saw on the picture in Aiden's office , she was really beautiful , she had a shapely figure, she had glossy skin and had slender eyebrows and her eyelashes were velvety , she was extremely attractive and beautiful and her lips were filled with red lipstick, I noticed that she was also wearing golden jewelry , she was rich I can't make it a big deal just to see her wearing golden jewelry because that was very simple for her , she was wearing high heels and she was dressed in black suits which looked really perfect on her and she wore a lot of makeup on her glowing but old skin . And Aiden looked handsome too in suits , all I could see is that Other workers feared Aiden's mother because they were insecure .
They moved towards Aiden's office , me and Isabelle were still inside as we heard the sound of high heels shoes and we noticed that it must be Aiden and his mom approaching the office.
"What are they doing inside your office "she said as she raised an eyebrow at us
" Actually I …I'm " panic surged through me and I couldn't even speak
" Mom this is Amelia she is my secretary" he insisted as he touched my shoulder " and this is Isabelle but we don't work under the same department "
"Oh I see, so what is Isabelle doing here ???You must be doing your own work " she threw her a warning glance
Isabelle turned around and went straight in her office without even looking behind .
I was standing between Aiden and his mom , actually I was a bit afraid as I heard the ringtone of my phone,Ugh …! Who was calling me , I asked myself and I didn't know how to excuse myself so that I may receive that call, what I did is that I immediately took my phone and turned it off and I didn't bother looking the name of the person who appeared on my screen , the one who was calling me .
Aiden's mother Didn't have a lot of time in the office instead she excused herself to Aiden
"Aiden today I won't be with you in the office , I have a lot to take care of , see you "
She said as she stepped out of the office and my heart was like "THANK GOD".
I turned on my phone again and I saw 5 missed calls from Becky , the one I told to seek a job for me in the restaurant. Oh dear lord
, "I can't believe that Im going to miss a chance " I told myself and eyes were looking the voice mails that were sent by her
"What ???
" Aiden , I applied for part time job in a restaurant and now I saw their missed call in my phone …
" and why didn't you receive those calls ????" He asked
" Aiden I didn't want to interrupt your mom because she was talking to us "
Aiden didn't say a word instead he sat down and started looking through the documents , he didn't even care about what I said
Poor me !
