"It's nice to have you here, Rose." Maximus Gomez spoke in his deep ass voice. I stopped myself from gawking at him and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Gomez."
"Oh no, don't be so formal. You call me Maximus." Fuck, if his voice was not the hottest thing. Maximus Gomez was a gray fox. Though his hair was of pepper and salt color, his sharp features made him look like some Greek God. Lyla and Maximus suited each other well. Most of our lunch went in silence except for some small talk. I also met Christina, the younger daughter of the Gomez family. She was a tall blonde girl with a pair of sharp green which she inherited from her mother. She was not a talker as far as I observed. They were all so calm and fucking sophisticated that it almost made me choke on my soup. After the lunch was completed, I went back to my room. Laying on the bed, I tried to get some rest but sleep was way far from me. They and their environment are so different from my usual surroundings. Now, I cannot even think of staying in this house for long. I need to find a job to be away from all of it. While thinking of ways and searching for jobs in the nearby locality, I did not remember when I slept.
By the time I got up from a weird dream where I was being held by an ice cream monster, it was already one am. Fuck, I am thirsty. Now, I have to get out to get the fucking water. I kept cursing my throat for being dry and thirsty until I reached the kitchen entrance. "Ahh...oh lord..ahh, fuck." My whole body froze when I heard a female's voice. Is it what I am thinking? Are they having...sex? Though it felt wrong to peek, my curiosity could not keep it and I peeked in. Holy Moly. This is way sexier than the videos Betty and I watched in my room when we were teenagers. Lyla was on the slab while Maximus's face in between her legs. Her hands gripping on his hairs pushing his face into her...main part.
"You know, peeking into someone's private moments is not so right thing to do." I almost jumped in shock. Before I could utter any other word, my mouth was covered with a large calloused hand. My back was hit with the hard and cold wall sending shivers to my whole body. I could feel goosebumps on my body. "Shh...we don't want them to get interrupted, now do we?"
My eyes met with a dark-colored one. It was still dark and it was impossible to his face but his stature visibly hovering over me was pretty clear. I put my hand on his hand and tried to push it when his grip tightened, I stared at him with annoyance. Who the fuck was he? Was he a thief? Nah, if he was then he would have already killed me or made me unconscious or something like that. Then who he is? Is he.. My thoughts pointed to only one member of this family which I hadn't met yet. I slowly signaled him to put his down. Understanding my signal, he slowly removed his hand when I finally started breathing normally again. He waited while crossing his hands, his eyes scrutinizing me from head to toe making me again shiver when his slow yet hard voice came, "Speak." I looked at him, his face was still dazed to me still I could feel his not-so-pleasant expression. "Are you Parker Gomez?" I wanted to confirm the identity of the man standing in front of me. He kept standing like an ideal for some time as if he did not have any intention to reply to my question. When I felt that he was not going to speak, the unexpected happened. "Yes." The man spoke.
I sighed in relief. Arranging words in my mind, I started explaining, "First of all, I didn't intend to peak in their private moments. I am Rose Carter, your mom's friend's daughter. Frankly, you would not have heard of my mother but believe I did not either until yesterday when she came for me. I was feeling thirsty, so I just went to the kitchen." Hiding the fact that there was a buzzer which Estella informed me about, I continued, "I just wanted to have some water, that's it."
"Did not seem like you were feeding your thirst with water?" What the fuck did he mean? Does he think of me as some creep peeking into some couple's private moments to get some excitement? "Ahh.. excuse me. I know that I should not have peeked in but you don't have the right to judge me. Also, don't forget you were there a few minutes back. What if I asked you the same question?" I did ask something stupid but I cannot let him come all over me like that. What does he think of himself?
"Ms. Creep, it's my house and I can go wherever the fuck I want. So, don't give me bullshit."
"What do you think of yourself? Just because of one mistake, you cannot judge or make fun of me. Say that name one more time, and I swear I will make you regret it." With this, I tried to stomp on his foot making space for me to escape when he griped me from my elbow and pulled me towards him, "I will be waiting for you to see what you can do, Ms. Creep." This time his face was so close to me that I could feel his hot breath. His face was now somewhat clear. His lips were in a smug as if he was some wild animal playing with its prey but I ain't one of those weaklings. I jerked my hand out of his grip, and gritted out, "Fuck. You. Asshole." With this, she displayed my middle finger to him and walked to my room. Closing the door behind me, I sat down on the floor. What in the hell just happened? How will I face Lyla and Maximus tomorrow?...And that Parker fucking Gomez. What if he told everyone about it? No, no...I can't let that happen. Parker Gomez, you can't tame me. I will fucking make sure of that.
