Chapter Eight : Who Wants A Nanny (1/2)
Maya's Pov
Everything felt weird or maybe I was the weird one here. Eventhough Eden proved to be a good company but my mind kept wondering to Nik now and then.
I couldn't help noticing the way he and Tina walked hand in hand.They looked perfect, they were definitely a match made in heaven until I noticed something.
Nik wasn't smiling, his face was in a grimace, so was Tina's and I knew at once they were having a fight and I'm probably the cause of it.
I knew Tina didn't believe my lame excuse and now, Nik's suffering the consequence.Great I ruined my own relationship and about to ruin another one.
I knew at once there was no way I was going to stay another minute in here,I had to get the hell out of here before I ruined a relationship further.
Determined I turned to leave but I forgot Eden was a problem.
”Going somewhere?” He asked starring at me weirdly. He raised his hand and touched my cheek in concern but I flinched ”You okay?”
”Urm..yes, I'm fine” I replied not looking him in the eyes afraid he'll discover I'm lying - I totally suck at lying.
” I just need the washroom ” I lied through my teeth hoping he won't escort me to the toilet. Going to the washroom was at the moment my only chance of escape
”Ok, go.I'll be waiting” He agreed and I breath in relieve. He wasn't going to be my escort so my plan was going to be a success.
Just when I turned to leave, I bumped into a girl who looked just like a feminine version of Nik except the eyes, she had blue while he had black.
Judging from the distinct similarities, I knew she was definitely Nik's sister which definitely wasn't going to end up well.I was trying to get rid of him not add another of his blood to my life.
”I'm sorry” I hurriedly said praying she won't take offense from the little accident and create a scene or make me stay long enough to be noticed by Nik
”O..o-okay” She stuttered and I took off but a grip on my arm stopped me from going further . Agitated , I turned to face her
”How can I help you?” I asked trying not to show the irritation in my voice
”I know everyone on the guest list but you're no...” She tried explaining but I was quick to cut her off cause I seriously had no time for this
”I know but I have to Lea.....”
”Emily” Eden called and she turned to face him while I moaned inwardly.
God why ! Why are you doing this to me! .
”Eden?” She smiled and leaped towards him engulfing him in a hug almost knocking him to the ground in the process.
”You came” she breathed against his neck chuckling softly. I stared at the duo envying their closeness, something I wish I had.
A great manipulative b*tch Kim was, but in time I realised something. Kim wasn't the problem but I was the problem, no one wanted me , not even my precious mother I bonded with at birth.
I was so engulfed in my reverie that I was scared out of my pant when I heard my name being called
”I see you have met Maya . Maya?” Eden called startling me.
As if the situation wasn't awkward enough, I lost the ability to speak ”Urm...yeah....”
Come on Maya ,stop babbling like a fool.I scolded myself and took a deep breath. I guess I'll just be myself
”Hi” I said stretching out my hands for a handshake ”I'm Maya” I introduced hoping I'll survive this night without ruining another life.
”Emily” she muttered accepting my hand. We shaked hands, lingering for a while until she stared at my hands and gasped
”Nice manicure, where did you get that?”
”Get that?” I scoffed ” I do that myself, piece of cake” I answered lifting my hands for display while she admired it.
”Would you make mine, too?” She asked while I raked my brain searching for a suitable answer that wouldn't piss her knowing I want nothing to do with the Spencer Family .
The plan to get the hell outta here was still on and active, so getting involved with her simply means getting involved with Nik which isn't a good thing at the moment.
”I don't know....I....”
”Pleaseeeee” Emily pleaded with quivering lips and fluttered her eyelashes putting on the best puppy look ever.
”Fine” I blurted out without even realizing it. what spell did she just cast on me?
As if that wasn't enough, next I knew,I was crushed to a body before realizing Emily was hugging me. A really bone crushing hug
”Thank you” Emily rejoiced tightening the hug without sparing my lungs
”Can't breath....at..all...bone's crushing” I gasped trying to intake as much oxygen I could without fainting
”Oops sorry” Emily released me with a smile on her face.”I'm just so happy, it's being so long I had a girlfriend ”
”You don't have girlfriends?” I asked shocked. Well, welcome to the party cause I can't exactly say I have one too.
”let's just say being rich doesn't work well in the friends department” She said and I noticed the pain in her voice and knew she've being hurt badly by so called friends
”Well you're in luck cause I'm in the market for a friend” I muttered nonchalantly trying not to show I really wanted her as a friend. Huge thanks to her kindness, not many rich kids could be as kind as her.
”Well” Eden announced sandwiching himself in between us with a drink held securely in his hand
