The rude maid
The rude maid
Aria's P O V
I gulped down the saliva that has gathered in my mouth and jerked up as he brought his face closer to mine.
I don't know what is going on in his head, but I think I should give him space.
“I'm full,” I announced and immediately ran upstairs, not caring for the remaining food.
I entered the room and closed the door before leaning my back against it. This makes it the second time he was attempting to kiss me.
But I'm not ready, even tho I'm aware that he is my mate. I am still not ready for anything because I'm still a little confused.
How is it possible that I got mated to a crown prince? I don't even know what I truly am. How is it possible that a lowly maid is the crown prince's true mate?
I slowly moved away from the door and sat on the bed in thought.
I hope this is all real, and I'm not dreaming.
Minutes later, I heard his footsteps approaching and quickly lie down on the bed, I grabbed one of the pillows and set a wall between us.
I can't let our bodies touch. I am not ready for anything.
I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep when his scent overwhelmed me. I pressed my eyes in and held my breath, so he could believe that I fell asleep.
I heard him move around the room for a while before sitting down on the other side of the bed.
The bed deepened in after a short while and I realized that he was already lying down beside me.
The pillow I used as a wall got removed, and he pulled me impossibly close to him.
I groaned out my displease and made to shift away from him, but his grip on me only tightened. I finally opened my eyes and struggled to stand up, but he is impossibly strong.
“I need to use the toilet.” I groaned and his grip on me finally loosen. I smiled in satisfaction and sat up, I turned to look at his face to see his eyes closed.
I made to go down and to the sofa, but he grabbed me a second time and hugged me this time, my front facing him.
I gasped out and started forcing him to let me go.
“I want to use the toilet.”
“No, you intend to sleep on the sofa. How long are you going to keep on sleeping on the sofa?” He grunted, this time feeling annoyed with my act.
I relaxed, knowing that what he said made sense. How long am I going to keep on running away from him?
I let him pull me closer, he buried his head in the crook of my neck and stiffened in my scent.
I only heard that one's mate's scent calm his beast down. Maybe he is attempting to calm his wolf down.
But I'm feeling uncomfortable. My breast and body are pressing strangely against his, but he seems to be enjoying it himself.
I'll wait until he is asleep, then I'll shift away from him.
*
I had him snore and thought I could finally move away from him.
I started shifting away slowly without making noise and every time I thought I was successful with my plan, he could jerk up and pull me closer to himself
This happened thrice before I eventually gave up and let sleep take over.
*
I opened my eyes the next morning and stretched my body.
What a good sleep? I smiled and sat up on the bed.
Where am I? I looked around the not so familiar room.
Where is this? I murmured and came down from the bed.
The memories of last night came flooding my head, and then I realized where I was.
I'm with the crown prince, who is my mate. My true mate.
“You are up.” The door opened, and he walked in, wearing only dark pants that cling to his body like a second skin. The pant is also a little loose around his pelvic area, revealing his V-shaped waist.
Damn, this early in the morning? I snapped my eyes away from his waist and looked down at the floor in embarrassment.
“Go brush your teeth and come taste these pancakes that I made. “
I looked up at him and nodded, still embarrassed. And the incident from last night?
My cheeks flame up as I recall how he held me last night, didn't give me breathing space, and I ended up breathing in his intoxicating scent all night.
I don't know better, but if I do, I'll say his vanilla and chocolate mixed scent is the best I've ever perceived.
I took out a new brush from the number of brushes there, put the paste on it and started brushing my teeth.
When I'm done, I come out to see him sitting at the edge of the bed, pressing his phone.
“Sit here.” He tapped the space beside him and I obeyed.
He handed the pancakes to me, I mumbled a thank you and received it. Throwing a piece inside my mouth, I paused and turned to look at him.
What on earth is this sweetness? I looked at him with wide eyes, but he was not concentrating on me.
This is over delicious. I don't know if there is any better word to describe these pancakes immediately.
But it's divine. It's heavenly.
He dropped his phone when I wasn't saying anything and then looked at me.
“So how is it? It's been a long I made one, so I'm not so sure. But this used to be our breakfast whenever I was younger.”
I grinned in gratitude and bobbed my head.
“I can't explain the taste. It's so sweet.” I confess, feeling shy again.
From my peripheral view, I saw him give me a genuine smile.
“I'm glad you love it.”
“The servant will be coming in later today, but now, I need to go get us some clothes.”
“I want to take you along with me, but I can't take you along in that shirt.” He pointed at his shirt.
I looked down at it and gulped.
Will I be left alone in this big space?
“I will come back quickly. Don't be scared, after eating, wash up and stay here in our room, okay?”
“Yes.”
“Let me take a shower now.” He announced and left for the bathroom.
I went down to the kitchen to wash the plates from last night and the present ones but don't find anything there.
I took the one with me and started washing it. Subsequently, I started walking around the beautifully designed sitting room.
I'm doing all these, so I wouldn't have to watch him come out from the bathroom half-naked.
Seeing his body… I don't know, my body gets so hot and itchy once I see him like that.
I need to start avoiding him when he is not fully clothed. And his waist this morning? It's a die for. I'm sure other crazy ladies will be running after him just to watch his waist move as he walks.
Well, I'm not crazy. I can't do that. And he is my prince again.
“I'm leaving!” I heard and ran out to see him descending the stairs.
He is wearing black pants, with a black shirt on too.
I don't think I should say or think about this, but he is so hot in black, so, so hot. I could burn.
He got to me and stopped, then bent down a little to become eye level with me.
“All you need to do is ask. I'm yours anyway.” I move back from him at his words, embarrassment cramming me up again.
He pulled me closer to him and kissed my forehead.
“I'll be back.” He whispered, and looked down at my lips, I saw him contemplate on something for a while before he let go of me and move back, biting his lips in.
“I'll be back.” He announced again before going out through the door. He opened the door after a second and looked in.
“There are still some pancakes in the kitchen, in case you want more.” He winked at me and closed the door.
My hands flew to my fast beating chest to calm it down.
No, why did he have to wink at me like that? I held myself from collapsing when he kissed my forehead.
But he went ahead and winked again. I think he is doing this on purpose.
Because he knows the effect he has on me. The mate bond is making everything worst.
Calm down. Calm down! I kept messaging my chest as I took a sit.
When my heart kept racing, I stood up and ran upstairs. I pulled my clothes and ran into the shower. The shower will help me.
As soon as the cold water met my skin. My body calmed down, and I closed my eyes in satisfaction.
*
I can say that I spent 1.5 hours in the bathroom. Coming back to the room, I wore on the shirt from last night. The shirt is covered up with his scent, his wonderful scent.
After putting it on, I lie down on the bed and closed my eyes.
My parents. They probably don't know where I am now.
I'm certain that Lara has been looking for me too. She'll most likely go to my parents and inform them that I'm missing.
I wonder if Lara will find out where I am. The rumour of what happened might be spreading everywhere.
The maids are likely gossiping about it.
Maybe the whole pack. This happened close to the boundary anyway.
I sincerely don't know how or why I got there. I opened my eyes and found myself there, with those humans.
I tried escaping, but they must have used something to drain my entire strength.
I know I'm originally not strong, but I'm stronger than normal humans.
What is shocking to me is how they got inside the palace and pulled me away. And I didn't wake up until they got to their destination.
What of Lara? Wasn't she there when they were taking me? And no one saw them take me out of the palace.
Thinking about it now, it's suspicious.
Too suspicious for my liking. Normally, humans are not allowed into the pack except for some undying reason.
Maybe I should speak to Damon about it when he gets back.
He hasn't asked me how I got there, but I'm sure he'll ask me.
A loud sound broke me out of my chain of thought. I ran out of my room and down to the main door but didn't open it.
Damon asked me to stay in my room. He didn't give me orders to open the door for anyone.
Although he mentioned that a servant will be coming, he said she'll be coming later.
The loud sound came the second time, and I figured out that the person outside must be growing impatient.
I should just ignore it. Let me ignore it. I started heading for the door when the person outside shouted.
“Open the door. I can feel you from here. I'm the servant that was asked to come.”
I don't think she's dangerous. I should open the door.
I went to the door and opened it, the she-wolf immediately rushed in, pushing me off the way.
“You shouldn't behave like that to someone you don't know. You kept me waiting,” she hissed and started walking to the only room down.
I watched her in disbelief as she entered the room.
*
I kept pacing about the sitting room, waiting for Damon to come back.
How can he employ such a rude maid?
Once the door started opening on its own, I rushed towards it, knowing who it was.
The door opened and he smiled at me.
“Missing me that much?” He smirked.
I was about to speak about the rude maid when she rushed out of her room and stood before him.
“Sir, I'm glad you are here. I have been waiting for the day you call for my service.” She smiled, looking excited. The next thing she did that amazed me was that she grabbed his hand and kissed the back.
Like, what the hell?
