Chapter 4: Maybe… Someday
Nellie's P.O.V
I waited and waited and waited. Standing outside the door and eavesdropping didn't seem like a good idea now, since I was doing that earlier.
So, I walked back to the piano and sat down.
'How will this work out? Why does he even want me here? His parents didn't seem like they wanted me here.' I pondered.
With these thoughts running through my head, my mind went to Benjamin for the tenth time today.
Why is that I cant stop thinking about him? There is nothing in particular about him that's special.
Like the way he smiles when he sees anything.
Naïve. Naïve Benjamin.
Oh, well might as well deal with it. I cant change him, or make him want to.
My mind could not focus now, since I met Benjamin.
What's up with that? I shook my head and sighed loudly as I drew closer to a conclusion.
It cant be that. No way can it be that.
I couldn't possibly like him more than a friend. Could I?
I mean, I just met him. He brought me to his home and got me dressed into something I could never afford in my lifetime.
These thoughts are corrupting me. He is in my mind too much. I couldn't possibly stay here with him and his family.
It would cause too many problems. I wouldn't be able to focus on working at all.
Maybe… I could still leave before he comes back. But, then I would feel bad and I will probably miss him too much to stay away.
Possibly, I could just tell him that I cant stay. Yeah, that would work…wouldn't it?
I sighed loudly again as I decided to give up on my plans on leaving.
Besides, he wouldn't even like me that way…not ever.
I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't even notice that Benjamin came back and was looking at me with a weird smile.
I stood right away and felt my cheeks tint a red. My eyes turned to the ground, too afraid to look him in the eye. He spoke first.
"My parents said that you could stay." he spoke with enthusiasm.
My eyes snapped up to his dark orbs. They had something in them that I could not comprehend.
I could not look away from his eyes, his either. Soon, he stepped closer until there was no space between us.
Even though he was taller than me, he hunched slightly so we were face to face. Or close enough to face to face.
He stepped closer, if it was even possible. Our noses millimeters from touching, the blush on my cheeks probably deeper than before.
I didn't know who leaned in first but our lips touched. My eyes fluttered close as my arms closed around his neck.
Meanwhile, his right arm snaked around my waist and the other went around to the back of my head.
He deepened the kiss by pulling me closer to his chest. I could feel his warm tongue on my bottom lip, asking for entrance.
Reluctantly, I granted him access. He tasted of vanilla and something else I couldn't put my finger on.
I felt myself grab his bottom lip with my teeth lightly as I pulled softly.
As soon as I noticed the situation we were in I stopped and pulled away. I regretted it, when I saw his confused, hurt expression.
"T-that's great." I said as I kept my gaze on him. "We would s-spend more time together." I finished with a smile and a wink.
He saw my attempt to flirt, and he tried not to laugh.
"Yeah. We'll see a lot of each other then." he replied while grabbing my hand and twirled me around, then pulled me to him with my back on his chest.
"U-uh" was all I could say. I could tell he was amused, when I heard him chuckle under his breath.
"Well then, I'll show you where your sleeping and what you are to do. Then, you could get yourself situated." he said while leading me into a hallway that was more narrow and quiet.
We didn't speak for the time being, so we kept walking. He would turn his head back and take a glance at me with those dark eyes.
After what felt like forever, he stopped in front of a door. He took out a small key and unlocked the door.
He stepped inside and I followed close behind. The room was much bigger than I expected. The room had gold and white paint, the bed sheets were the same colors, there was a dresser, a closet and a mirror.
It felt like I was at home, even though it wasn't mine. I blushed when I saw Ben watching me with a smirk.
I couldn't help but walk up to him and grab his hand in mine. I laid my head on his chest and sighed.
'Maybe we could be together…someday. Until then, I have to deal with living with him.'
"So… what am I supposed to do since I am your maid now." I said while stepping away from him.
"Well, all you have to do is clean, and do what we ask and in return you get to live here and get a small pay. It doesn't sound like a good job for now but you will get used to it." he spoke with uncertainty.
"I think I can manage. And besides I'll get to talk to you and spend time with you when you ask for me." I said while smiling.
"That's good."
"Yeah. So umm…do I have to wear a uniform?" I asked with a fear that it will be bad.
"Yes." he said while going into the closet and pulled out a dress that was black and white. "But, you might not enjoy wearing it." He finished while handing it to me.
"Well then, I'll change into it. So can you step outside so I can change?" I asked while leading him to the door. He nodded in response.
As soon as he walked out the door I closed the door and checked the dress over. I grimaced when I observed it more. It looked much too small for me and it was more revealing than I thought it would be. I also found a little hat that came with it, rather odd looking hat.
I soon got dressed into it and found it much more uncomfortable than I anticipated.
My breasts looked like they were going to pop out of the corset I was wearing. Hated wearing the bloody thing. And the dress wasn't longer than my knees.
I could tell that it wasn't appropriate to wear such things but how could I complain if I was going to live here and get paid.
I checked myself over in the mirror and gasped. I looked like a slut or a prostitute from the streets.
I ran over to the door and opened it to find Benjamin sitting in a chair sleeping. I shook him until he woke up.
Once he saw me wearing the uniform, he gasped and blushed harshly while looking away.
I smiled slightly as I leaned over to see how far I could make him go. Might as well have some fun in the dress that I hated more than anything else in the world right now.
"Oh. Benjamin don't be shy. Besides your older than me so what's your worry. Your not the one wearing it." I said while turning his head over to me. While making sure he would see my cleavage.
I smirked when I saw his eyes trail down momentarily. I decided to tease him about it.
"What are you looking at Ben?" I asked while smiling.
"N-nothing." He said while averting his eyes and his whole face turned a maroon color.
"Are you sure?"
"Y-yes" I heard his voice crack.
"Do you mind if I sit here since there are no more chairs?" I asked while sitting on his lap.
His face turned so red when I sat on him I was afraid I took it too far or if his face stayed permanently red. Soon, I felt something on my arse. I didn't know what it was so I put pressure on it.
I heard him groan in response. I blushed then and was slightly confused and amused by his reaction. So I did the same movement again but, I made sure to see his expression.
I got the same response but his face was not red anymore. It was very interesting but I knew I took it too far. Even though I wasn't sure what happened.
I got up slowly from his lap but his hands grabbed my waist and pulled me back to him. I was surprised by this sudden touch.
I turned to face him and looked into his eyes. They seemed darker than usual and there was something unreadable in them.
"I-I s-should go." I spoke quietly as I attempted to get off his lap again. This time he let me go.
I ran back inside the room and sunk into my bed. What was that?
'What was wrong with his eyes?' I asked myself.
A/n: Didn't see the naughty scene I put in did you? Well, that was this chapter. And again I hope this made up for the other chapter. And remember r and r.
