Desiree's POV
"Do you have any idea what you're doing? It's way too early in the morning, and you're in my house?" When I said it, my mouth twisted and both of my hands were on my hips, I am staring at him in disbelief right now.
He licked his lips and scoffed sarcastically, "Well, we made an agreement that you are not going to sleep with any man…" Alexander said.
"That's not what I mean-"
Then I heard someone enter the house's gate, so I stepped outside to see who it was. It was Enrique.
"Enrique, I'll talk to you another day; I'm here with my boss." I said.
Enrique's mother interrupted us, "Hi, Desiree…I baked you a nice cake. Enrique wants me to give it to you." she said happily and walked inside of my house while holding a cake.
I bit my lower lip, "Sorry Desiree, its my mom-"
I cut him off, "It's okay…"
I noticed Alexander's clench jaw and I sighed. He doesn't understand what I'm talking about and now he is here waiting for me to explain everything but I can't talk right now since Enrique is here and his mom is in my kitchen putting the baked cake inside the refrigerator.
"Honey, I already put it there... Anyway, I noticed that your house is in need of cleaning, and I believe that if you have the time, you should begin cleaning." Fatima said as she looked around and her mouth twisted in disgust, i think it's normal for a mother like her who does not like dirt. "You don't have to say that, Mom." Enrique remarked this as he led his mother out the door. I exhaled deeply; indeed, I need to clean the entire house now since I don't have a cleaner.
"Sure, I'll clean...next time." I said while scratching the back of my neck.
Alexander turns around, his lips pursed, plainly dissatisfied with himself.
"Good morning," I said, "I'll have to have my food ready right now."
he sighed as he inspected my house and touched the huge glass wall, feeling the powder and dirt. "I'll have my maid clean your house today, and you'll be sleeping at my house tonight, and the person who will be sleeping with you tonight will never lay a finger on you."
"You don't understand…" I said and began to walk in my kitchen to pour some milk on my cup and put it inside the microwave. I leaned my back on the wall while waiting for one minute. My cup of milk will be hot.
"What are you talking about?"
"You don't understand, that man is a traveller and he will be sleeping in my house for one night and not with me." I said just to make him understand what I said.
"Well, it's still the same…you are pretty and you are all alone inside in this huge house, what do you think will happen huh? Do you think he will just sleep there and don't do anything to you?"
I shrugged my shoulders because I was hesitant to communicate with him right now; he appeared irrational, and I didn't want to say anything that would make him think less of me.
I withdrew the milk from the microwave, took some cereals from the cupboard, placed them on my plates, and began to eat them as Alexander looked at me. He's still waiting for me to say something, but I'm not in the mood to talk to him right now; I just want to enjoy my cup of milk and cereal, which I'll attempt to eat because I'm hungry.
"So you don't want to talk to me? You're not saying anything?" Alexander mumbled, and he started massaging my shoulder. He went behind my back when I was sitting and eating comfortably.
"Can you tell me what you're doing?" I complain when he is touching my shoulder and I flinch. His face is not happy with the way I act.
"What have I done to you that made you so angry with me?"
"Because you are bossing me around." I replied to him with a hushed tone and I drank all of the milk and placed the plate and the glass in the sink and began to wash them.
I heard him take a deep breath before he said something to me, "Because I am your boss." he said. Yes, I almost forgot he is really my boss.
I tucked my hair behind my earlobe while washing the plate and the water running is warm that makes my hand feel fine.
When I finished, my body collided with his strong chest.
"You need to come with me." I can smell his minty breath when his face is so close to my face, I bowed my head and I began to move away from him.
"I don't want to…I need to clean the house today since you are giving me a day off." I said and dry my hand with the small towel near the fridge. I was about to take the cleaning tools when he took a hold of the back of my arm and I looked at him with my wide eyes, his eyes are sharp now like he is tired with me being reluctant.
"You need to come with me, whether you like it or not." His aura is dangerous now, the way he uttered the words is such a serious tone. His baritone voice echoed the house. I gasped and pulled away, "Okay…I am going with you. I will just explain to my mom that tonight I will not be here and the new guy can access the house using my keys." I said quickly, deep inside he is scaring me. I am scared of him.
"That's good to know."
"Yeah…"
"Then get dressed because I will be waiting for you outside, make it fast." He demands.
I dash upstairs and open my bedroom. I leaned against my door, inhaling and exhaling deeply.
"This guy is really testing my patience." I whispered to myself, a tight-lipped smile on my face.
