When I arrived home late at night, my body was exhausted from the day's effort.
Although Roberts Employer is a terrific company with excellent perks, I dislike how my coworkers approach me as if I were their great servant.
I take off my shoes and massage my ankle, then take off my blazer and am shocked when the doorbell rings. Oh, that's fantastic; I'm about to retire for the night when the doorbell rings constantly.
I step outdoors to check who this obnoxious individual is.
When I opened the gate, I saw Alexander carrying a large paper bag that looked like it came from a high-end store where he buys these items. "Can you tell me what you're doing?" I inquire as I examine the items he has brought.
He says, "Can you just open the gate wider and allow me in?" like a boss.
I open the gate wider and he walks inside of my house like he lives here. I just rolled my eyes and closed the gate again.
I sigh.
"What are these?" I ask when he will get inside of my house.
"These are for you…"
"Oh my god, you are doing a lot of effort to give it to me at this hour? I am going to sleep." I said and I went upstairs without looking at the big box and large paper bag.
"Okay, I am going to sleep here." He threatens me.
"Why are you so…annoying?" He overheard me whispering to myself. He must have heard it because he has been following me all the way to my bed. I stripped down to my garments and changed into my pyjama thin dress. When he saw me, he sighed, and I dived to my bed, where I fell asleep in less than a minute after closing my eyes.
The Next Day
I awoke with a letter in my hand, which I opened and read: "Don't work today, just rest."
I smile since I'm going to stay in my comfy bed and will be rolling around in my bed all day.
I exhaled, grateful that my boss is aware that I am exhausted and require a day off, even if it is only for one day like today.
Today, my mother dialled my number, and I answered it.
"Hello, mum," I say.
"Yes, honey, I'd like to ask you a question."
"Good morning, mom," I responded with a smile. "Yes, ask anything."
"The son of my friend will be sleeping there tonight…because he is a travelling guy and needs someone he can take a rest for one night only so I offered our house since you are alone." She said. I became pale when she said that of why she is asking this to me. I don't like any random guy sleeping in our house.
"But mom, I don't want that guy to sleep here."
"Don't worry my daughter, it's just one night and he is a good man. You can trust him." I sighed because since my mom told me that I can trust this guy, I need to believe her.
"Okay fine, I just don't understand why you need to agree with them that the son of your friend will be going to sleep here tonight."
"Stop whining Desiree, all is well, you are going to be fine and that guy is such a good man." She said and ended the call.
I screamed my angered with her, Damn, why does she want me to let another guy here in the house?''
I should tell Alexander not to be here tonight because there's a random guy who will be staying in my house tonight. I called Alexander several times now, maybe he is busy because he is not answering his phone.
"Alexander!!!" I shouted to my phone then I heard someone's voice. "Yes, hello?" It's Alexander and I cover my mouth with my hand and I lean to the wall because I am screaming his name and now he heard it. I thought he was not going to take my phone call.
"Hello, what do you want? I am busy." He said,
"Tonight, you are prohibited to visit me. Because I have someone tonight, he is a guy and he will be sleeping over at my house." I said quickly.
He doesn't speak for a second. I heard him cursing silently and saying, "Are you serious or are you kidding me?"
"No, I am telling the truth. This random guy will be sleeping at my house. So you don't need to visit me, my mom will know about you." I said while opening the curtain of my room to let the sun shine inside.
"You can't let another man sleep with you…" He raised his voice loudly at me. I think he didn't understand what I said, he misinterpreted it. "No, that's not what I mean."
But he hung up already.
I think he is mad.
I saw Enrique outside my house and he was waving at me happily, I waved back at him through my window. Wow this guy woke up so early this morning, I don't see him at this hour.
"Good morning, Desiree. Wanna have coffee with me at the nearby coffee shop?" he said loudly so that I could hear what he said. Maybe I should say yes to him because I owe him a date. That date that I made him wait for all night because I replied to him mentally and the message was not really sent.
"Oh okay, just wait for me, I am going to fix myself!" I said.
I wash my face, I brush my hair and I brush my teeth.
Then I heard a loud horn outside of my house, I saw a tinted black limousine. My pulse is racing back and forth. Alexander is outside of my house waiting for me to open the gate for him.
"Desiree…open the gate." He demands and calls out my name.
I opened the window of my room and I shouted at him, "Yes!"
Enrique's face looked confused when he saw Alexander.
Then I need to explain…again.
