"This one's for Carey." Mary said as she poured coffee into a cup and moved on to the next. "And finally, this one's for John." She said as she set down the coffee.
"I'll take all these." Cindy said as she lifted the tray of 4 coffees.
"And I'll take this one to John." Rebecca said and lifted the last coffee.
Cindy nodded. "I'll walk you to the library, it's nearby."
"Thank you." Rebecca said once they both walked off.
Mary then turned to look at the two men sitting on the stools to her right. "And what are you two doing there? Are you going to drink some of my coffee this morning, or what?"
"Actually, yes." Gary said. "But I got distracted in your beautiful eyes."
Mary giggled. "Oh, stop it."
"I'd like some coffee too." Chris said. "With some scrambled eggs and bacon to the side, please."
"Really, son?" Gary said as he lightly backhanded Chris' head. "That's all you're going to say instead of complimenting such a wonderful woman?"
"Well, I'm sorry," Chris apologized. "I'm just really hungry and I thought I'd ask her to please serve me my breakfast."
"Don't worry, both of you." Mary said laughing lightly. "I'll get down to cooking immediately."
Chris smiled. "Thanks."
Rebecca walked in the library, quickly noticing just how big the place was. She was amazed on how the curved stairs led up to a balcony up on the library.
She walked further inside and then spotted John working at his desk.
Rebecca silently walked to him and set his coffee down.
"Thanks." John mumbled, not looking up from his attention at a few papers.
"Um, you're welcome." Rebecca then slowly turned around, and stopped in her tracks. "Um, excuse me, I know I'm bothering you, but you wouldn't mind me asking you a question right?"
"No, go ahead." He said and set down the paper he was reading.
"Why are you so . . . . grumpy?"
John looked taken aback. "What?"
"Grumpy." Rebecca repeated. "I mean, you've got a family and friends in this house, and a lot of money. And yet again, you still look so unsatisfied with life. Is there anything that'd actually make you happy?"
John stared at her.
"Well, I guess you're probably right with that stare." Rebecca said nervously. "Why am I even being nosy into things that don't have to do with me. Um, excuse me, and sorry for asking." Rebecca said and quickly walked out of the library.
He stayed there in his seat staring at the way in which Rebecca had gone, and then began to laugh.
"Me . . . . . grumpy?" He asked himself. "Now that's hilarious."
Rebecca had rushed up to the dorm and had now been helping Cindy separate clothes for laundry.
"Oh, don't be a fool, Rebecca." Cindy said as she looked through the clothes. "If Billy looks so much for you, than it's probably because he does like you. Now aren't I right?"
"Pssh, if that's what you think." Rebecca said and folded the clothes Cindy had readied for her.
"But I'm serious; he's probably crazy over you." Cindy smiled. "And what was that he said about going out? He probably meant he wanted the two of you to date. You understand? He wants you as his girlfriend."
Rebecca blushed a little. "I can't believe it, Cindy. It's like if it were a dream!"
"Funny how you say you don't care about him, then again you're getting really excited about this." Cindy teased and moved on to the next pile. "Now be honest with me, you're not going to tell me you don't feel anything for him, right?"
"Well, Cindy its. . . ." Rebecca dropped the shirt she was folding. "It's just that I really like him. I mean . . . . . he's just so handsome."
"With one amazing body, too." Cindy added. "Just let me get me a boyfriend and maybe we could go on a double date!"
The two of them laughed.
"And just what are you laughing at, hmm?" Rebecca asked.
"Oh, Rebecca. . . ." Cindy said lost in thought. "You know that if you and Billy got married you would be my boss!"
Rebecca immediately stopped and stared at Cindy from what she just said.
"I'd be saying, "Yes, Rebecca." or "As you wish, Rebecca."" Cindy then thought over that one. "Let tell you one thing, don't ever be as bossy like Tanya or Carey. You'd ruin my life." Then another thought popped on her head. "And could you let me get in the pool? Come on, boss, please?"
"Oh, stop it, Cindy!" Rebecca said laughing as she threw her a shirt.
Cindy laughed as well and returned the favor.
"So that's what you want with Rebecca, eh?" Leon asked as he looked through his computer. "And tell what happened?"
"Well, I went with the story you told me to, and she bought it." Billy said in victory.
"And want to know why exactly she believed it?" Leon said as he turned his chair to Billy. "Because you have that sensitivity when you talk to a girl that makes them believe what you say, even though it's all a lie. Actually, I thought Rebecca would be smarter than that." Leon looked to the side. "So what are you planning to do next?"
"Well, I left her full of thought," Billy sat down comfortably on Leon's couch. "But, I'll assure you tomorrow she'll be having the surprise of her life. I'll teach her who dominates who."
Leon gave him a worried look. "What are you going to do now?"
Billy sighed. "I'm going to play rough back, after all what I'll do is actually good for the press when I asked Ron some time ago."
"Are you going to do something hurtful to her?"
"No, or at least, that's what I consider it."
Leon rolled his eyes and returned to the computer. "Tell you what, just be extremely careful."
Today was a great day after he spent planning this all in the library the day before.
John sat calmly in his office.
He picked up his phone and made a call.
"What is it, boss?"
"Mark, it's done. Send your team in to the locations I said in 5 minutes. Alexia should be on her way up here."
"Got it."
John hung up and opened his laptop, a window showing the lounge, and then Alexia and Ron walk in. He smiled and hit record.
Let the games begin.
"Billy!" Excella smiled as she kissed him repeatedly. "I'm so glad you came to pick me up. I told John I'd be heading to the office later on today, so we have spare time to ourselves."
"That's great; I have somewhere to take you during that time."
"Really?" Excella asked curiously. "And just where is that place?"
"It's a surprise." Billy said with a grin and then grabbed a few of her bags. "Now let's go, we don't wanna be late, now."
"Why, I love surprises." Excella smiled and followed him.
"So why is it you ask me that?" Katherine asked as she handed Rebecca her empty cup of coffee.
"Well, no particular reason, really." Rebecca said as she set the cup down on the tray. "I mean, it's just that this house has a lot of maids."
"But what does that have to do with the, uh, maid falling in love with the master?"
"Well, it's because it always happens on TV." Rebecca said nervously. "I was just curious, since it's usually the maid that fall in love with the boss, or the main boss's son."
"Why I don't know." Katherine shrugged.
Rebecca got suspicious. "So are you being honest with me or do you just want me to understand it's extremely unacceptable for a maid to fall for the master?"
"No, it's not that." Katherine said, and thoughtfully looked to the side to think. Once she came up with an answer, she faced Rebecca. "Have I already told you I have a grandson lost somewhere?"
"I've heard. Also that the mother was a maid."
Katherine looked to the side. "Oh, Elizabeth. Poor thing didn't deserve what she went through."
Rebecca sat down next to Katherine.
"She fell in love with John." Katherine continued. "And she was so happy with him, and we were all too because we loved her too, except for John's sister and his mother. Oh! But he was a coward. He abandoned her for another woman his sister and mother recommended, one to whom he actually never loved, but figured would be fun to be around for some time. And I guess she probably decided to take her son and all her hurt form thinking John no longer cared for her."
"What a terrible story." Rebecca frowned. "Oh, I'm sorry, Katherine. You feel bad already, and here I am reminding you of it all."
"It's alright, dear." Katherine then pointed to her bathroom door. "In my bathroom there should be some aspirin in there. Do you think you could get it for me?"
Rebecca nodded and went for the bathroom.
Meanwhile a few knocks were on the door.
"Come in." Katherine called.
Billy walked in happily. "Grandmother, I want you to be the first to know about my official relationship."
Katherine listened in interest,
"I want you to meet my girlfriend." Billy said. "I mean, I don't know if she already told you about it."
Rebecca slowly emerged from the bathroom, and was about to speak until a woman's voice spoke before she did.
"That's right." Excella said as she walked in. "Nice to see you, Katherine."
"Nice to see you, too." Katherine said a welcoming smile, even though one could tell she didn't understand the situation.
"So what do you think of the wonderful news Billy told you?" Excella said as she hugged Billy's arm.
Katherine looked between them, and then past them at Rebecca, who didn't look so happy about the relationship announcement. "Well, uh." Katherine managed to say and then looked to the side.
"You're not going to congratulate us?" Excella asked.
"Um, yes, dear. I'm very happy, uh, for both of you." Katherine said and then looked at Rebecca.
Billy turned to see Rebecca, and knew what to do. After sending her a smirk, he turned back to Katherine.
"So, you remember how you told me to look for a woman who would fill my heart with joy?"
Katherine nodded.
"Well, Excella is that woman." Billy said satisfied.
Rebecca's heart shattered.
She couldn't take it anymore.
She set the aspirin down on the table near the door and rushed out. Not wanting to look back at the ugly truth.
Well, Billy's cruel revenge. He can be such an ass sometimes. . . . Reviews motivate me to write more!
