Episode 5🌷
Mira got to the kitchen to quickly prepare lunch for De Lucas and Aurora. Her mom had gone home early because she wasn't feeling too well so she was the only one who had to do the cooking ,while she was preparing lunch, Nick came to meet her .
" Need some help ? " Nick asked.
" No thank you sir " Mira bowed and continued what she was doing.
" just Call me Nick did you receive the flower I got for you yesterday ?" He asked.
" Yes thank you " Mira replied.
" So does that mean you've accepted to be my friend " He asked.
" No sir I can't be your friend I wouldn't want to get into trouble with anybody " Mira said.
Nick chuckled " it's Nick not sir "
"Sorry sir I mean Nick" Mira continued what she was doing then Nick carried an Apron from the kitchen drawer and wore it.
" Am only helping because you are my friend and I know you would accept to be my friend soonest " Nick said.
" Please sir you have to leave "Mira pleaded.
" Just allow me help I do not hold my hunger for too long" he said while trying to slice the plantains.
" Ok Nick" Mira said.
" You can thank me later let's quickly make the food".
An hour later everything was ready and Nick helped put the meals on the dinning table. Mrs Lucas was already back from where she went to, seeing her son in an Apron arranging the food on the table made her go Gaga.
" Have you lost your senses Nick what's going on here why are you putting on and apron, why you dressed like this Nick!" Mrs Lucas barked.
" Come on mom it's not like I wore faeces I only wanted to help to make the cooking fast ,Mrs brown isn't feeling too well so I decided to help Mira with the cooking" Nick said while arranging the cutleries.
" If she's not feeling too well what right does that give you to put on an Apron and serve us food when the maid can do it or did she complain to you?"
" Mom what's all the fuss about please let it slide ,come sit ok ? " Nick drags her to the dinning chair while Aurora came out with Damian.
" Who do we have here" Mrs Lucas asked surprised As Aurora ran to hug her .
" Mom I came back few hours ago have missed you am sorry I didn't tell you I was coming". Aurora apologized and sat down to eat While Damian sat down and started eating silently. Mira came with a bottle of red wine and dropped it on the table , she felt Damian eyes on her and she became uncomfortable she mistakenly poured the wine on the table and Damian quickly stood up to help her.
" Are you ok is something wrong?". Damian asked worriedly while everyone looked at them in shock.
"A.m..am...fine...sir..."she quickly cleaned it and left.
"Baby what was that about why you caring for an ordinary maid that wouldn't mind even if you threw her inside a pit" Aurora asked and tried to touch Damian.
"Don't touch me I didn't ask for your concern and you should be glad you weren't born a maid, I already lost my appetite" Damian said and left.
"He's going to be fine Aurora just let him be " Mrs Lucas said .
"This is going to be fun". Nick smirked.
Mira cleaned her clothes and changed her Apron she wondered why his stare made her uncomfortable " Aishh Mira your such a dummy why would you allow an ordinary Stare make you embarrass yourself like that" she asked herself .
" Are you sure your fine. "
She heard damian voice from the back. "How long have you being standing here sir am sorry for the embarrassment I caused "she said.
" I would prefer it if you call me Damian you should forget about what ever happened out there" Damian said.
" Thanks Damian but please you should stop trying to be concerned about me I would appreciate it alot I do not want other people to think there is something going on between us please " Mira pleaded.
" I wish I understand what you mean but I'll just ignore it" He came closer to her but she kept going back until she got to the wall and could'nt move again.
"What if I become interested in you how would you see it ." Damian asked with his face very close to hers and their nose almost touching .
" Wha...what....do ..you....mean...sir Damian".
He removed a dried leaf from her hair " was trying to help remove this I'll go now" he said and left immediately.
" Oh my God mira you must be dreaming" Mira said to herself and kept tapping her face to be sure what just happened didn't happen, "why was my heart beating fast, why was it beating fast why why why, I cant be in love with someone who has a fiance why does things like this keep happening to me why does it even have to be with someone who has a fiance but wait what if he doesn't have such intentions. " She kept asking herself so many questions until it was time for her to go home when she got to the gate outside Nick was already waiting for her.
"Would like to drive you home if you don't mind " he said.
" Thank you but am fine Nick" Mira said and continued walking home.
" Come on Mira I really wanna be your friend I promise to not get you Into trouble if that's really whats making you scared " Nick pleaded.
" Is there something you really want from me ? " Mira asked.
" Just make me your friend I'll be forever grateful". Nick said .
" Fine, if that's only what you really want from me then am fine with it " Mira said smiling.
'' pls can I drive you home just this once" He pleaded again.
" Yeah sure " she entered the car and they drove away.
