What will happen to me now? 

I was still sitting on the floor with a red face when I heard the doorbell ringing again but I didn't dare to get up from the floor and open the door. 

Uncle Richard is waiting for me to open the door for him. I can't even pretend that I didn't see him because he saw me. I clearly remember his shocked face when he saw who opened the door for him and that too in these sluty clothes. 

What must he be thinking about me? 

Why I didn't look before opening the damn door. I even said those stupid welcoming words which say I every day while welcoming Jack. I never in my wildest dream dreamed I would see this day in my life. What should I do now? I bit my lower lip in embarrassment. It's all Jack's fault. He wanted me to say those stupid welcoming words every fucking time when I open the door for him. He was the one who made me wear this skimpy dress. It's just because of him I got caught in this mortifying situation. How I hate that Satan. 

He is so best at making my life hell. I was still mourning my bad luck when I heard the main door opening sound and my heart started beating even fast. I shifted more down, almost trying to camouflage with the white floor with my black maid uniform. 

"Damn it" I cursed as I tried to hide more. "How did the uncle open the door? Passcode gets only accessed with mine and Jack's fingerprint then how could he open the door" I whispered yelled to myself while still trying to merge with the floor. 

Think Nina thinks what you can do to run from here without again coming into the eyes of uncle Richards. 

I put pressure on my brain to come up with something. I again closed my eyes and bit my lower lip in resentment as I couldn't come up with a thing to save myself from more embarrassment. The question of how Jack's dad opens the door was still eating me when I heard the voice which I hate the most. It made me sit on my knees and perk up towards them still hiding behind the kitchen counter. 

"Dad what a surprise," he said while entering the house with his dad. So he was the one who opened the door. Why the hell he has to come back at this time. I was so shocked that instead of ruining his room I ran back to the kitchen. I didn't even get a chance to run to his room and changed into something decent. 

"Well, I got surprised too," Uncle Richard said while entering the house with a small smirk on his lips. It made me curse even more. I knew what his comment meant and it caused my cheeks to turn red even more. Jack's eyebrows furrowed when he heard his dada's reply. They moved more inside. The only good thing was they have still not noticed me hiding behind the kitchen island. 

"Huh," Jack asked, not getting what his dad meant. You dumb head. I rolled my eyes at his stupidness. 

"Nothing, your place looks so clean, unlike your room. You must have hired a very good maid" his dada said in a sarcastic tone while looking all over the living room like trying to find me. I immediately ducked my head down as his eyes were about to fall on me. With a wildly beating heart, I sat down on the floor. He almost saw me. After a few seconds, I again looked up to see what was happening. That's when I saw Jack smirking at what his dad meant to say. 

"Yes I did and she is very particular about cleaning everything as she said she had developed OCD so I don't have to worry about anything getting dirty," he said mockingly while his eyes lazily tried to find me. I again hide back behind the counter. I balled my fist in anger. 

That man doesn't even know what to say at what time. He exposed me completely. God how badly I want to punch him. 

I again tried to peek from the kitchen island. I have to sit here until the uncle goes back. I can't think I can face him. He will tell everything to aunty Sam and in no time it will reach dad. Dad will go crazy with happiness if he comes to know that I'm living with Jack and even doing cosplay with him. They will be so excited about it and just like it with the snap of their fingers I will be tied down to Jack the satan. 

No no, I can't let this happen. 

I moved my head in denial as those pictures flashed in front of my eyes. I better sit down here even if I have to sit here for the whole day. They were still laughing, making me close my eyes in annoyance. I again perked up to see what was happening. Now, uncle Richards' back was facing me. It's the time to signal the devil to take him away so I can go and change into something else and hide in his bedroom. 

But I don't trust him with this. What if he drags me from her and takes me in front of his dad. I was about backout from this plan when his predatory light brown eyes fell on me. As soon as our eyes met he smirked evilly making me bite my inner cheeks in anger. I can't even hide back because he has seen me. 

"Dad do you want water or something," he asked while still looking at me with a wide smirk. 

"Water will be fine," Uncle Richard said and took his seat on his couch. Jack started walking towards the kitchen making me again sit down on the floor. As he came and stood in front of me I glared at him it only caused him to smirk. He took the glass and started filling water into it. 

"Take your dad to your study," I said in my whispering tone with hard eyes but he still kept filling the glass without looking at me. 

"Jack," I whispered yelled. 

"Are you talking to me?" he asked in a mocking tone turning and facing me while pointing his finger in his chest. 

"Is some else here too," I asked in annoyance. The corner of his lips curled a little listening to my reply. 

"So now you are talking to me," he asked in mockery while making me close my eyes and curse. Is it the right time to play this stupid game? Cooldown Nina, just cool down. You need him to take uncle away. Stop getting angry because he will piss you even more. 

"Take uncle away," I said in my firm voice while looking at him. 

"And why would I do that," he asked while bending to my level. The anger which I tried to cool down a few seconds ago raised inside me even more. 

"What do you mean by that," I asked in annoyance while grinding my teeth. 

"I don't want him to see me here like this," I said in the same annoyed tone while glaring at him and gesturing towards my attire. 

"But didn't he already see you in this maid uniform," he asked in his sarcastic tone it made me almost roll my eyes. 

"Yes he did but I don't want him to look again at me in this sluty dress," I said in my pissed voice. He stared at my face. 

"This hurts my feelings. I choose this uniform for you and in my eyes, it's best," he said in his fake sad voice. I could see his eyes shining in happiness. He was enjoying my discomfort. 

"Will you take him away or not?" I asked in my pissed voice. 

"I will," he said in his calm voice while making me look at him with shock. How did he get convinced by me so early? "Only if you stop giving me a cold shoulder and kiss me back whenever I kiss you," he said with a wide smirk while looking into my eyes. 

Why do I forget this is Satan he doesn't do a single thing if it doesn't profit him. 

"No I will do nothing like that," I said in anger while glaring at him. 

"Take it or leave it," he said like it didn't even affect him a bit. Why would it? He is so evil. He is taking advantage of this situation to make me talk with him. 

Why should I talk to him? He has still not told me who that ava Is. That thought again boiled my blood. But I can't sit here for the whole day on the cold floor. 

"I will only talk to you," I said in my firm voice while trying to bargain. 

"Then I will tell dad that you're hiding behind the kitchen island from him and then I'll take him to my study," he said with an evil smirk. God this evil man. He won't let me go. I don't have any option but to agree, to his stupid conditions. I will say yes for now then deny it afterward. 

Yes, I will do this.  

"Ok," I said with a set jaw. 

"Fine then kiss me," he said with a wide grin on his face. 

"What!," I exclaimed. 

"I want to see how true to your words you are that you won't back out afterward," he said with a wide grin on his face. I bite my lower lip while glaring at him. He is purposely making me do it now. I pressed my lips in a thin line and pecked his lips before he could demand anything else. I just want him to take uncle away fast. As I was about to take my face back he secured his hand on my back and kissed me with his full lips. 

Small peck by me turned into a full make-out section by him. Leaving me breathing he took the glass with a wide smirk on his face and went back to the living room. With a flushed face, I was still sitting on the floor. When I heard him asking his dad to go to his study. 

"No, I'm comfortable here," Uncle Richard said, making me look up again. I glared at Jack while gesturing him towards his study. 

"Nina, sweety, stop hiding behind the kitchen island," he said while still looking at the documents he brought with him. His words made my face burn in anger. On the other hand, Jack was grinning looking at my red face. I immediately stood up and ran to his bedroom to change. I went straight to his walk-in closed and changed into the top and one of my jeans. After that I came down as I knew hiding from my uncle was not an option anymore. I didn't want to make myself any more awkward in front of him. 

"How are you uncle," I asked while coming down. Uncle and Jack were sitting on the couch. 

"Good but after finding you here I'm feeling even better," he said with a known smile making my cheeks burn redder. "Come sit with us," the uncle said while looking at me with a small smile on his face. 

As I took my seat Jack shifted near me getting into my personal space like always while putting his hand behind my back and resting it on the couch head. His intoxicating scent again engulfed me, making me move away a bit but he gripped my shoulder in a firm grip, not letting me go. In the past week, I didn't let him come near me and taking advantage of this situation he is coming near me. I can't even push him away from me in front of his dad. 

"Dad you still didn't tell me why you decided to surprise me today," Jack asked with furrowed brows while putting his hand behind me and shifting more near to me as I again tried to get away from his hold. 

"I came here to hand you this file as I couldn't get hold of you in office. You didn't even come home but I know now why you didn't" he said with a smirk on his face. I bit my lower lip and hid my face under the vile of my long hair. I did so wrong by closing the door on the face of the uncle. It's so rude of me to behave like this but I didn't have any other choice. But I was still feeling guilty about doing it. 

"I'm a sorry uncle, I didn't mean to close the door on your face," I said, feeling embarrassed by my actions. 

"Don't feel guilty about it, I should be the one to apologize to you. I came unannounced and ruined your surprise. And please don't feel embarrassed about it, after all, we all do these things when we are young. I do remember the time when we used to do such kinds of things" he said in his understanding voice, making me look at him with wide eyes and a red face. What a surprise I'm doing this maid thing for papers of power of attorney. 

Wait a minute.  Does he think I'm into kinky stuff? 

Uncle smiled while looking at my pale face approving the thoughts which were running in my brain. I heard Jack snickering beside me making me curl my fist in anger. He was enjoying this. I glared at him, making him grin more wildly at me. Only because of him I'm feeling so ashamed in front of his dad. He had ruined my innocent girl's image in his dad's eyes. The more I glare at him, the more I want to break his jaw. 

"And one more thing I came here for," the uncle said in his firm voice making me avert my eyes from his son to him but I lowered my gaze as my face was still red. "Ava told me about your changed schedule. She even said you don't listen to her anymore," he asked in his fatherly voice to Jack. My body went stiff hearing his words. One particular name caught my attention which made me lookup. 

Who is she? Jack's dad even knows about her? What they are talking about. Which schedule and what listening to her. 

All these thoughts made me look back at Jack as I wanted to hear what he wanted to say about her. Jacks hold on to my shoulder when more tight, feeling my eyes on him. 

"Don't listen to her. You know how she is. She worries about me so much" he said with a sheepish smile on his face. How is he able to talk so cheerful about her? Hearing his words a spank of anger spread in my chest. 

"Stop worrying her, she even told me you sometimes forget your tablets," uncle Richard asked in his strict voice while making me look at him with furrowed eyes. All their conversation was making me uneasy and eager at the same time. I wanted to know what exactly this Ava is to Jack and what is happening.  Before Jack could say anything I asked in my impatient voice. 

"What tablets are you talking about," I asked there was an edge to my voice. I asked this question first as it was the thing I wanted to know first. Listening to my question uncle Richard looked at me with little shocked eyes then he looked at Jack. I could see he was questioning him with his eyes. It made me look at Jack whose face was totally in distress. 

What is he hiding from me now? 

I don't know why it was giving me some bad feelings. 

"Dad, do you want to have dinner with us? Nina must have already cooked dinner" he asked while trying to change the topic. It made me look at him with more glaring questing eyes. 

"Yeah, sure I would love to eat food which is diet free," he said with a small smile while trying to joke. He wanted to lessen the tension in the air. 

"I'll go and change my clothes," Jack said while standing and heading towards his bedroom before I could confront him. I nodded at the uncle with a forced small smile and went to set the table for us. When I was almost done with setting the table I looked up and saw both father and son talking in a hushed tone. 

What are they talking about? What tablets is Jack taking which I don't know but that Ava knows? She must have more importance in his life than me that's why she knows everything and I don't. 

That thought gave me a superiority complex. But on the other hand, what kind of tablet Jack was taking was making me feel uneasy in a bad way. 

Is Jack sick? I agree that I don't like his presence in my life but I don't want him to be sick. What if he is sick. 

This thought took everything away from me, making me more anxious. They came and took their set. We all started eating food. I was still thinking about it while they talked about business. I was not able to concentrate on what they were saying as I was drowning in my worrying thoughts. 

"Nina," I heard Uncle Richard's calling me. It made me look at him. 

"What do you think" uncle Richard asked with a small smile. 

"Huh," I said as I was not hearing their conversation. 

"We were talking that do you want to share the same co-CEO office or do you want a different one as you are joining the office thereafter tomorrow" he repeated himself with a small smile playing on his lip. 

"Dad, we will have the same office; you don't have to do a special arrangement for it," Jack said in his firm voice before I could give my opinion. He places his hand on my thigh like saying to agree with him. 

Why is he expecting me to share the same office with him? Probably to make me work as his maid in the office too. As if I will let that happen. Why should I listen to him? First, he didn't tell me who Ava is then he didn't tell me what tablets he is taking and now he is not letting me decide what I want. I won't let him dominate me. 

"I want a different office," I said in my firm voice while looking at the uncle. He squeezed my thigh as I refused to do what he wanted. 

"I want to keep my personal and professional life separate" I again said in my firm voice and removed his hand away from my tight. He looked at me with a set jaw not liking what I said. 

"Good then I will inform the people to prepare the new office for their new co CEO," he said with a happy smile. After talking with us for some time he left. I took all the plates to the sink and started washing them. My thoughts were still eating me. Jack doesn't want to tell me about what tablets he is eating. If he doesn't want to tell me then I won't ask him. 

Why should I worry about him when he doesn't think about me? He can tell everything to Ava but can't tell me. I won't think about anything anymore and give importance to him in my mind. 

How much I tried to brush it off from my mind but Jack not being fine was making me scared from inside and I didn't know why. It somehow was making me want to scream at him and ask why he is hiding it from me. Everything inside me was building up and I wanted to scream so loudly and let him know I hate him for hiding such a thing from me. 

As I was getting more and more consumed in my thought I did realize two big hands encircling my waist consuming my whole small frame in his big one. As I breathed in his scent I felt relaxed but I still didn't talk to him. I removed his hands away from me and again started doing my work. He again put his hand on my waist and pulled me more to him while moving his face in my neck. He pressed a small kiss below my ear. It made me grip the plate more tightly. 

"Cupcake didn't you promise you won't give me a cold shoulder anymore" he whispered in my ear then moved a tip of his nose on the length of my neck. It made me stop what I was doing as I felt the spark of something getting ignited inside me. Nowadays whenever he touches me like this I feel this new sensation in me. It's something I can't describe. Whenever this new surge flows inside me It makes me want to push him away and at the same time strangle him. 

Nina gets a grip on herself. 

I took deep breaths like composing myself then I removed his hands away from my waist.  

"You didn't take uncle to your study so there is no promise to keep," I said in my firm voice while resuming my work trying to ignore the heat which his nearness was passing to me. 

"But I did try," he said, whining like a child it made me stop the running faucet and turn around to look at him with hard glaring eyes. Enough is enough I can't hold it anymore inside me. He has to tell me everything now I have fucking rights over him. So you finally declared your rights to him. My inner voice mocked.

"What else are you trying to do? Oh yes, you are trying to hide from me who Ava is to you and what else you are trying to hide from me let me think. Yes, she knows what tablets you are taking but I don't" I said in my angry voice saying that I wanted to stomp away from him but he didn't let me, instead he caged me back in his arms and kitchen counter. Looking at my angry face and questioning eyes he sighed deeply. He lifted his hand and tugged one of my stray hairs behind my ear while looking straight into my eyes. 

"It's not that important," he said in his calm voice while cupping my face. It made me press my face more in his hand involuntary. 

"But I want to know," I said stubbornly. He sighed once again listening to my stubbornness. 

"Some time my blood pressure falls and for it, I have to take tablets for six months without missing as prescribed by my mom," he said in his serious voice while pulling me more towards him by encircling his one hand around me. His words made me worry even more. 

"What's wrong, why is your blood pressure falling," I asked in my concerned voice while cupping his cheeks. Now after knowing it was making me more worried about him. I looked at him with concerned eyes. He almost closed his eyes as my hand touched his face, like liking my touch he lined more into it. He overlapped his hand on mine which was resting on his cheek. 

"I'm totally fine cupcake you don't have to worry," he said with a small smile. 

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" I asked in a questing gaze. 

"I don't want you to worry about me," he said in his firm voice while looking straight into my eyes. His words made me feel something different inside me while spreading this new warm feeling inside me. 

We were talking like a deeply madly in love couple. That realization made me avert my eyes away from his light brown one while slipping my hand from his overlapping one. The air surrounding us was changing into something else and it was giving me more uneasy feelings. My heart started beating fast as his words of not making me worry ranged again in my ears. His heated gaze following my every gaze was not making my situation any better. 

He lined his face and the next thing I know he pressed his soft lips to mine. His touch was so soft that it made me get lost in it and I don't know when I knew I started responding to him back. And I started moving my lips. He made his grip on my waist more possessive. He tortures me with his skilled lips pulling me more into this deep ocean of wants. He spared my lips only when I was breathless from his earth-shattering kiss. I rested my head on his hard chest as he engulfed me between his big hands. But one question was still bugging me. I lifted my head and looked at him. 

"Then..then who is Ava," I asked in my fumbling voice while trying to distract myself from what happened a few seconds ago. 

"You will know about her when you join the office. You will like her" he said while making me look at him with furrowed eyes. He seemed so happy while talking about her and it somehow was pissing me off. I got out of his embrace. He didn't like me getting out of his hold but I didn't let him hold me again. 

"Why do you think I will like her?" I asked in my annoying voice. I somehow didn't like him talking about some women with this much happiness on his face. He looked at my face and the grin on his face widened seeing certain emotions I was trying to hide inside me. 

"Because I like her oh wait I love her," he said with an evil grin on his face while making me look at him with fuming eyes. 

He loves her. 

His confession made me burn from inside and dig my nails in my palm. Just a few seconds ago. I kissed him and now he is declaring his love for someone in front of my face. 

How I regret kissing him back!
