My One and Only Maid

Ilayda's POV:

I woke up this morning at 7 a.m., as every single morning I opened the curtains to get a view on the street. It is a beautiful morning here in New York no matter what the weather is I find it always beautiful or maybe I am just too in love with this city. After a long session of contemplating the scene that lay before me. I went to the bathroom, washed my face and other things.

I put on my outfit, and I head to the kitchen. Oh, I am telling you my story but I forgot to introduce myself, how rude. So anyway, my name is Ilayda, I'm a maid, I've been working as a house maid for 3 years now and I'm 20 years old . I am working for The Elfonso family they are good people, weird but they treat me well, I guess? Nevertheless, I think it is all I need. I am working for Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso, they are rather a funny old couple but their not too old though, and however they act weird sometimes. There is also their daughter Maribelle or Belle for short, she supposedly live here, but we rarely see her. You know that girl is always out partying mainly because she do not get along with her parents that much, but she seems nice too. The couple also have a son but he does not live in here, he live off the country in Italy handling his father's business there. I have never seen him before because when I started working here he was already gone.

I looked at my watch 7:45 a.m. 

Shit I am going to be late. I hurried to the kitchen where I found Nona the housekeeper, and in the same time the woman who raised the two children of Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso, she was already up.

«Where were you Ilayda? You are late, again. «Nona was not a mean person but she does like discipline and respect when it comes to work." I'm so sorry I didn't mean to I will head to work right now" I went to the refrigerator to pick somethings for the breakfast making.

"Darling you know today we have a lot of things to do and with the elder son coming home we don't have much time."

Damn, it totally slipped of my mind that he was coming today. It is going to be a rough day.

I made breakfast as usual and served it at 8:30 as always. I started cleaning right away and I had to get a room ready for the elder son. Therefore, I had to air the room change the sheets.... In addition, I need to do everything right because Mrs. Elfonso is such a meticulous person.

Nona and I finished cleaning the whole house at around 11:30 a.m. we worked fast, the house or if I may say the mansion is gigantic but we are used to it by now, besides we had to start preparing lunch because the elder son is arriving at lunchtime.

Christian Elfonso's POV:

The alarm woke me up it's 5 a.m.

Fuck, I am going to be late. I took a quick shower, in thirty minutes I was ready.

Luggage. Check Passport. Check Ticket. Check Money. Check Phone. Check 

Handbag. Check 

I guess I am ready. The maid had already made everything yesterday but I just have this habit of always double-checking everything.

Arriving at the airport I hand in my passport and ticket and now I was waiting for the plane, suddenly I heard my phone ringing, it must be father he can never leave me the hell alone and he's the only one to call me at this hour." Hey" I really didn't feel like talking to him, I never did because he always get on my nerves he could never be satisfied with the effort I put into work, he always has something to say

"Where are you?"  What kind of question is that?

"At the airport obviously where do you want me to be?" Is he for real?

" When you land you will find Henry at the gate waiting for you " I spent 3 years away but when I get back he send the driver to get me, thank you father for not disappointing me, not like I need him or any thing ... typical Mr. Elfonso. I did not feel like talking to him any longer so I hang up.

After a 5 hour flight I finally landed in New York, I spot Henry right on sight he is a very hard man to miss because... well he looks kind of scary .

«Welcome back Mr. Elfonso how was your flight?" When did he became so nice?

"It was good, thanks. How have you been Henry? "

" Good, thank you sir " 

" Awesome let's go home Henry «Henry nod and I went inside the SUV, time to meet the old grumpy wolf.

Ilayda's POV

The bell rang; it must be the elder son.

I took a final look at the house to make sure that everything is in the right place and spotless, and I went to the kitchen to get the food ready. I heard someone screaming, it was Maribelle she finally was home and sober so that she can meet her brother, then I heard Mrs. Elfonso crying and saying how much she misses him and she kept asking him about his health and well being but I haven't heard nor the elder son's voice nor his fathers , weird .

Nona also went to say hi since she practically raised the guy, she was technically like a second mother to him, but since I am just the maid I stayed back in the kitchen. 

Everyone was sitting in the living talking.

Then Mrs. Elfonso called me "yes ma'am" I answered back, everyone was sitting there except the elder son "Set the table for lunch hon, my son is back and he is starving." off to work again, "Sure ". I went to the kitchen, started getting the table ready, then I went back to the kitchen Nona took the rest of the plates and came back again, they must have started eating.

Nona called my name "yes Nona."

"Darling I'm a bit tired can you get the table once they're done?" Indeed she looked a little pale today, she is an old lady after all, not old as in one foot in grave old, but it's obvious that her life wasn't all candy and chocolate, she had to work hard so now she deserves to rest and enjoy her life not work as a maid .

"Of course" I answered.

"Thank you love".

I was sitting alone in the kitchen waiting for them to be over so that I can clean the table after them.

Suddenly I heard Mrs. Elfonso calling my name, I wondered what happened, and usually they do not like having a maid next to them when they are eating.

I went to the living room. As I stepped in, I saw that the food was no longer on the table but rather on the floor along with crashed plates and cups all over the place. Then I looked up and I saw him, the elder son, my eyes widened, as I could not believe that such a man can actually exist in real life.

Ilayda's POV:

"Ilayda quickly clean the floor and the table, we're done eating" Mrs. Elfonso brought me out of my reverie while I was intensely staring at the elder son.

"Yes ma'am right away " while everyone was leaving the living room with a very noticeable mix of sadness, anger, and even surprise appearing on their faces, I hurried to clean the mess they left behind.

I spent around an hour cleaning everything because everything was ruined mean while silence has taken over the house. Suddenly out of nowhere I heard I voice addressing me.

" I will get out if mother asked for me tell her I will be spending the night out" I turned and it was him, I was so surprised I tried to speak but I could not everything about him is dazzling his presence his looks Good even his voice. The only thing I could have done was nodding, and like that, he left.

Mrs. Elfonso came asking for her Son about half an hour after he left, other than that the house was very calm, I decided to make dinner early so that I can have a little bit of the evening free.

This night, for some reason I could not sleep. Therefore, I got my family box from under the bed and I kept looking at them my mother and my father. Oh boy, I miss them so much I wish they were here with me, but they cannot because their not here anymore. They left all by myself, not knowing what to do or what will happen to me I mean are they still looking for me what if they find me what.... Suddenly I heard some noise coming from the entrance I first hesitated of course I mean what if it was a thief, what if he was armed. I got out of my room and I past by the kitchen everyone seems asleep so no one heard the noise, what If it's all in my head. Then again, I heard noise, no… no it is definitely not in my head I picked the biggest knife I can find and I went slowly Ninja style towards the entrance. I saw by the door the shape of a man but I couldn't see his face due to darkness but I can see that he was struggling to even stand , as I came closely it turns out to be the elder son .

"Sir...sir what are you doing here "I didn't know what I was saying it was very surprising for me to see him like that.

"What now I'm not allowed in my own house fuck off leave me alone" he wanted to push me but due to his state he could not even move a muscle he was so drunk.

"I didn't mean to sir ... It's just you said that you won't be coming back tonight so I was surprised I'm sorry sir" I knew that I did nothing wrong but it is an easy way to avoid problems. 

"Sir if you may I can help you get to your room" he could not even answer so I decided to help him anyway a put his arm on my shoulder and I tried to drag him upstairs without anyone hearing, good thing he was not talking loud or shouting. After what felt like eternity of suffering, and holding a very heavy man, we got to his room and he was completely out. So I threw him on the bed but the stupid girl I am, I forgot that he was still grabbing me by the waist , and that's how I end up on him , and because God just loves me he woke up and started starring at me as if I was an alien .

He first started forming all kind of expressions: surprise, confusion, anger and then his eyes were looking at me in way that I could not tell.

I tried to get of him but he kept a strong hold on my waist.

" You're very pretty; I wonder why I didn't notice before" he spoke out of nowhere.

" Sir you're very drunk I suggest you let me leave, and try having a good night sleep ". It's like if he didn't hear anything I said, he grabbed me, making even closer to him if possible and I see his face leaning towards mine as if he- .

However, no that is impossible, he would not, but he did he put one hand was on my waist the other one on my head. His face came closer to mine, he opened his mouth that was slightly touching my upper lip, and next thing he was kissing but the way he kissed me was so passionate and somehow loving.

My body was reacting in a way I never knew before, I was surprised by my own action as I left my hand and slide it smoothly in between his hair pulling and caressing slowly.

It seems like I lost myself for a second but then I felt self-conscious of the situation I was in, I broke the long kiss we had and pushed myself away from him.

" Wait. Why are you leaving did I do something wrong? "He grabbed my hand trying to stop me but I managed to free it.

"Sir as I said before you're not alright you need to sleep and I need to leave before somebody wakes up" I left the room and closed the door.

I head to the kitchen. He looked like he drank a lot and tomorrow he might have a problem so I went looking for an aspirin. When I got back to his room he was already asleep I took off his shoes and positioned him well on the bed and I covered him, then I put the meds and water on his nightstand and I left the room.

I kept repeating what happened in my mind several times but I do not know why but since it has been a long night soon sleep took over me.
