I stayed in my room until Rozzean finished his meal. He told me to wait downstairs so I wouldn't have to go up again to get his dishes. As I observed him eating, every little movement he made seemed perfect in my eyes.
So... this is what it feels like when you like someone? He is the first man I've laid my eyes on, so I didn't really know.
When Rozzean finished his meal, I went downstairs and cleaned the kitchen, but my thoughts were still occupied by him.
"I will confess. I will tell Rozzean that I like him. After that, I will return home to talk to Daddy. I won't complete the two months that I promised."
The next day, I woke up early, prepared breakfast, and cleaned the garden. I didn't have the pool cleaned by Manang because I did it myself. I wiped the tiles, arranged some furniture in the living room, and provided breakfast to the guards outside.
"How hardworking you are, Tali. Is there something happening?" Manang asked me. I saw her carrying a vacuum cleaner.
I'm just inspired... maybe?
"N-Nothing really, Manang. I'm always this busy in this house, right?"
I saw that she was having a hard time on the vacuum cleaner because it was heavy, so I approached her.
"Manang, where are you gonna take this? I'll take care of it."
She looked up at the stairs, "I will clean Sir's room, Tali."
Mty lips parted. I've been waiting for Rozzean to come down, but it seems he woke up late today. I wanted to see him. It's different when you like someone; you just want to see that person all the time.
"Ah, never mind, Manang. I'll do it," I insisted.
"Are you sure? You've done so much already this morning. You're not tired?" she asked.
I shook my head and smiled, showing her my arm. "I'm strong, Manang!"
She laughed and patted me on the shoulder.
The truth is, I just wanted to see Rozzean.
"Well, then, I'll head to the back and water the vegetables."
"It's quite challenging to bring this up."
The vacuum cleaner is too heavy. It should be on the third floor, where his room is, to avoid having to carry it up every time he needs to clean.
"Sir?" I knocked on the door.
"Sir, I'll clean your room."
It's quiet. Is he still sleeping? but he usually woke up early. Or maybe he is busy doing his work?
"Sir—"
The door suddenly swung open, revealing a disheveled Rozzean, who looked half-asleep with his eyes barely open. I gulped, my cheeks heated with his gaze. He had never appeared this way in my eyes before! Definitely, my liking for him has caused this.
He looks so cute. Oh, Thaliana!
"Sir, I'm going to clean your room—"
I couldn't finish my sentence because he turned away from mem he didn't say anything. Is he in a badmood? bad morning? I entered his room and closed the door behind me.
After I went inside, I found Rozzean lying on the long couch with a blanket.
"Sir, did you sleep there? Why not on your bed?"
He didn't respond. It seems like he's already asleep again. How can he fall asleep so quickly? I think he overworked himself again! but what should I do? Clean while he's here?
"Sir, I'm going to clean now, okay? The vacuum can be quite noisy."
But he didn't still say anything, so I started cleaning. I began with his bedroom. There wasn't a lot of things that needs to clean. Rozzean keeps his space tidy, and he doesn't like his things scattered all over the place.
I changed the bed linens and pillowcases and wiped his bedside table. I noticed a few books on the couch, so I picked them up and placed them in the cabinet.
After finishing the bedroom, I stepped out and saw Rozzean still asleep on the long couch.
Isn't he uncomfortable?
"Sir, the vacuum is noisy, I will use it now," I told him again.
He didn't say a word, as he seemed to be in a deep sleep. I turned on the vacuum and started cleaning. I kept glancing at Rozzean, concerned that the noise might wake him, but his expression remained calm. He was sound asleep.
After vacuuming the area, I moved to clean under the couch. When I reached his side and focused my eyes on his face, I couldn't help but pause.
His dark eyebrows, long eyelashes, luscious lips, and strong jawline.
"His eyelashes are so long," I muttered to myself.
His lips were also a beautiful shade of red, even while he slept.
I can't believe my month-long stay here has led to this.
Who wouldn't be attracted to him? I was so confident because no man caught my attention since I've learned about romance.
"But it's not just his physical appearance that's appealing," I said, continuing with the vacuuming.
I was in front of Rozzean, just gazing at him as I vacuumed, unable to take my eyes off his deeply sleeping face. But as I moved forward with one foot, I was taken by surprise when I accidentally stepped on the vacuum cleaner hose.
"Oh!"
Damn. The shock of what happened sent my heart racing.
I fell on top of him! Startled, I couldn't regain my balance right away. When I saw Rozzean's eyes move and his eyebrows furrow, I was about to get up. But it was too late, as his eyes slowly opened.
"S-Sir, I didn't... I mean, it's the vacuum cleaner's fault--"
He frowned at me, and as I tried to get up, I was surprised to feel his hand tightly gripping my waist.
Rozzean, come on! what are you doing?!
"Good morning?"
I was taken aback! He smiled and greeted me! His face lifted, and our noses were just inches apart. Our lips were almost touching. I-I should ge up! but how? his hands were tightly on my waist!
My heart was beating so fast; I felt like he could hear it because of our proximity.
I looked at him, my mouth hanging open. I was searching for something to say to him. But the rapid thumping of my heart was deafening, confusing my mind, and I couldn't figure out what to say due to our current position.
"Are you seducing me, Tali?"
W-What?!
"Are you going to kiss me?"
My eyes widened at his words.
"K-Kiss? Of course not! I won't kiss you, sir!" I hurriedly explained.
"I-I accidentally stepped on the vacuum cleaner hose, and I just... I mean..."
I couldn't continue what I was trying to say when I saw his gaze lower to my lips.
"You are not going to kiss me?"
I couldn't speak. Is he really expecting me to kiss him?
"Then, let me do it."
Before I could respond, I was stunned and couldn't move when I felt his lips on mine.
W-What is this... how did it turned like this?
Rozzean is passionately kissing me. His left hand was on my back, and his other hand held my nape.
I was too stunned to move! This is not a dream...
Rozzean is kissing me.
My heart was pounding so fast. My mind was clouded as his lips moved against mine. He was trying to get a response from me!
Unable to resist any longer and encouraged by the teasing of his lips, I closed my eyes and followed his movements.
"Hmm..."
His kiss was a revelation, a feeling I never knew I needed until it happened. My heart raced as I continue kissing him back.
"Tali..." he whispered when he let go.
"S-Sir, this is wrong. I- I am your maid and y-you are my boss."
"I don't fckng care," after he said that he kissed me again.
H-He doesnt?
"Hmm... S-sir..." I let out a moan.
Now I am feeling overwhelmed with emotions as I held on him tighter. Damn. He is drowning me, his lips expertly move in mine. I didn't stop myself, I followed his lips movement and I felt him smiled because of that.
This is... crazy.
I am on top of Rozzean, and we are kissing deep, hard and needy.
