Chapter Eleven : War (1/2)

Maya's POV

I groaned as I lifted myself off the bed, very soft comfy bed. My eyes shot up at once, where was I?

Then I remembered, the party tarried long and we had no choice than to sleep over since everyone was so tired to drive home. I never knew how rich Nik's father was until I saw the number of guestrooms  he had, it was literally enough to house half the population of my province.

Everyone was entitled to pick a room of his or her choice and I had to choose this room cause of it's colour.

Nik choosed his own bedroom and his girlfriend Tina, agreed sharing his room to staying in the guestroom and trust me when I say I'm not in the least bothered by it, not even the slightest.

I'm just saying it out loud so you know, nothing else. No jealousy at all.

The walls were painted a bright yellow, the colour of sunshine and a blue fitted carpet graced the floor.I had a knack for bright colours since dull ones makes me depressed.

There's a single bed at the far end of the room with a nightstand beside it.There's also a bureau with a built-in wardrobe a few metres away from it which I had no use for since I'll be leaving today.

I stretched my stiff bones and dragged myself off the bed while shielding my face from the sun rays coming through the window with my hands.

It was a bright and good morning full of opportunities and adventures but I still can't believe I'm Izzy's nanny and get to receive twenty freaking million dollars as my salary!

What could get better than that?

When I tried to speak, my throat felt so dry so I decided to go get a cup of water from the fridge.I was mentally pleased with myself when I found the fridge without the servants help, not that I met any on my way truth be told.

I opened the fridge and gasped at the sight, the fridge was filled to the brim with energy drinks and I had to rummage through the contents until I found the water I needed.

Just when I opened the cap of the drink and stuffed my mouth with water, I heard some noise and turned to discover who was disturbing my peace but I got the surprise of my life.

I sputtered my  drink from shock while my eyes bulged.

Lo, Nik stood in his underwear nothing else and I drooled over the sight. God knows I've never being confronted by such good looks and sex appeal in my entire life.

I saw his chest broad and powerful, his abs lean and hard and I suddenly had a crazy urge to feel the hard swell of his muscle beneath my palms, which was totally impossible so I looked away , but I couldn't get the memory out of my head.

Snap out of it, Maya!

I cautioned myself as my cheek began to heat up.What the hell was happening to me.

For God's sake he has a girlfriend Maya and you're his daughter's nanny.

The last thing I'll ever do on earth was mixing business with pleasure. Back at home, we were trained strictly to keep business, business and pleasure , pleasure and that's what I'm going to do exactly, go by my parent's principle.

Only If that was easy, well said than done

Quickly, I gulped down my drink and turned to leave but something else caught my attention, Nik wasn't there. I stared at the cup of steaming coffee sitting on the kitchen counter with the drinker absent.

He was just  there a few minutes ago unless....

Suddenly, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on edge and I knew at once he was behind me.

I turned swiftly and as expected bumped into a chest.

But atleast I know he did it intentionally and whatever he's planning, it wasn't going to end well

I pulled away from him with a jerk and decided to play ignorant. ”Urm..sorry, I wasn't looking​​​ carefully” I said coming up with the most convincing innocent face i could muster.

Nik looked me over before smirking ”Come on Maya” he murmured ”I know you're not that sharp in the love department,  but I know you're smart and we both know I did this intentionally”

”W-what?” I sputtered

”Off  with the pretence ” Nik commanded trailing his fingers down my cheek and my body reacted.

His touch made my breath stop in my throat and I swallowed, or at least I tried to - I was having a hard time breathing.

Neither could I think, I couldn't think of how to stop him from messing with my head.I just stood frozen.

Maya, he's messing with you

That was the only reminder I needed.I slapped his hand away not minding that my cheek was tingling with excitement and arching for his touch.I had to stop him now before things go further.
