Feelings

Melissa's Pov

"That's too hard"  I shot Melanie a deadly glare, how can someone be so wicked and pressed the only place she knew I was feeling pain from. Isn't that wickedness?. She points the first aid kit to Draven who has been watching us as the bandages are being changed. He collected it from her before heading to the room he went to take the kit from.

"I think i'm done now" she mumbled, wrapping up the new bandage. I glance at her and mutter "Thank you " . She remained mute for some minutes with her mouth wide open. 

"This is the first time you appreciate me, hope you know that?" She questioned jokingly, I pretended as if I didn't hear. She abruptly used her hand to tilt my head, now I am facing her grinning at the same time....

"Hope you know that" she repeated, looking intently as if she was searching for something.

"Yes, I give up" I grumbled amidst laughing, if only she knew how she looked right now, she wouldn't blame me for laughing at her. We heard Draven footsteps, She released my head immediately and sat upright on the couch. 

"I think you are done right?" He demanded looking at Melanie who seemed not to care about his presence, I pinched her hand making her wince. I don't know why she keeps ignoring him. If only I didn't know they just met because of me, I would have taken them as a lost lover who just broke up.

"Yes" she replied warily, I sighed in exasperation. She stood up and adjusted her skirt before facing me. 

"Hope you are with your phone?"

"I think so" I replied while tucking my hand into my blouse, unfortunately it's not there, that's when I remembered that I left in the quarter when I was heading to Bobby's apartment .

"I think I left it in the quarter this morning, " I muttered sadly. 

He faced Draven who was now sitting opposite us, hand resting on his jaw. He seems to be lost in thought or maybe he just can't wait for Melanie to leave, there is no doubt that he dislikes her already.

"That leave me no choice than to have your number" she commanded while facing him

  My num? For what? Don't tell me you are crushing on me already " He questioned,  her face turned red almost immediately,, I tried restraining myself from laughing but ended up blowing out before I could even realise it, I cupped my mouth with my hand.

"In your dream"

He smirked at her. I guess he has not been listening to the conversation.

"Just in case I want to check on her, besides I don't trust you" she replied sharply, he glared at her for a few seconds, making me wonder if the two are communicating with their mind. 

"Okay no problem, I am sorry for thinking otherwise " he cleared his throat, eyeing her suspiciously. I think he is thinking about something. He stretched his hand for her phone which she handed over instantly. 

I look at the two in amusement, there is doubt that this is the most lovely guy I have ever met. It is somehow funny that  I will clock 20 this month, but have never dated anyone before, even though I had many crushes during my school days but none picked interest in me.

Is not even up to a week now that I knew him but trust me it felt like we have known each other for so long. I know I am deceiving myself by convincing myself that I am not romantically attracted to him, but that is a big lie from my side. I'm just a maid's daughter which simply means I am also a maid, there is no way he would feel something for me, even if he eventually develops something he won't stoop so low to my level not to talk or ask me out, I thought to myself. 

"Melissa" the loud voice of Melanie struck my ear, I jumped in fear before looking up at her. It is clear that she is frustrated right now. Draven was still standing eyeing the two of us without saying anything.

I cleared my throat, " What's is " I gulped down, it looked like something occurred when I was in a train of  thought between the two of them. 

"I will check on you later, I believe my co maids would have been looking for me now" she cut me off, bent her neck and kissed me on the cheek, completely ignoring him. In a twinkle of an eye, she started walking towards the entrance before I could even say a word. She closed the door abruptly. He chuckled before sitting down beside me.

The next five minutes were silent, the only sound was our  own heart beats.

"You never told me your relationship with Bobby?" I asked, trying to alleviate the silent atmosphere. He smiled at me. For some seconds my head spin and my heart melt at the mind blowing smile 

"I never thought of that" he paused, "He is my cousin" he replied, waiting for my reaction. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad on hearing that.

"Wow, but you two are opposite, I guessed that why you don't get along"

" I don't think so, besides it's been ten years since I last saw him" 

" Really? " I asked in surprise, I actually thought they knew each other very well. 

"The head maid told me you're to be Bobby's for the next few months"

The question caught me off guard, I cursed the head maid silently. Should I just tell him the truth, maybe he can be of help, I thought to myself. I opened my mouth to say something, but not a word came out.

"Not a few months, just a month" I answered defensively, I bit my tongue in frustration, I felt embarrassed at my reply. He chucked silently before looking at me. 

"It makes no difference, but I believe there must be a reason for him to do that" he murmured gently, the calmness in his voice sent my head spinning. Should I just tell him the truth? I thought to myself. I shake my head off the thought. Don't let me make this matter worse by involving his cousin, because I will be the one at loss at the end of the day.

"Is nothing, I think he just want someone he knew before" I replied,sluggish after what seems like forever.
