K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

Gosh, I had a whole lot of fun with Ace. I got down from the car and waited for Ace to come around.

“Trust you enjoyed the evening?” He asked.

“Yes I did”

He looked at me and flashed his charming smile. He was damn handsome. “So… dinner tomorrow?” He asked again. I bit my lower lips and looked down, racking my brain for a better response.

I’d love to have dinner with him but is it appropriate? I mean, I’m just a maid.

“I can handle Kael if you want. He won’t say no ” He said as if reading my thoughts. I looked up immediately and looked away. What if Kael gets upset? My duty as a maid is to serve Kael, not to go out whenever I pleased.

“Come on. Kael’s not that kind of person. He won’t bite”

I sighed and tried to relax but honestly, I didn’t like the idea of telling Kael. He might think there’s something between me and Ace but what’s the need of telling him anyway? He’s not back from his business trip and he’ll never know unless he’s told.

“No worries, don’t tell him. Dinner will be great”

He smiled then surprisingly, he pulled me closer and pecked my cheeks. I turned pink instantly but it was great he couldn’t notice it.

“I’ll pick you by 7”

I nodded but then… I didn’t have any perfect dress for a dinner with someone like him. Alejandra and I shopped but the clothes she picked were either short, vulnerable, or glued to my body.

“Have a good night” Ace said “But um… I’ll come in to say welcome to Kael”

On hearing that I froze and my mouth dropped. What???

I turned and looked around then noticed the slight changes. More men in black suits stood around. Holy Cow, I’m so doomed.

From the balcony, I watched as Ace pecked Leigh-Ann, whoosh! It looked perfect, only that it wasn’t what I had expected. They should’ve kissed.

I rolled my eyes and got over to the swimming pool. I really hate romance. I could be romantic but romancing any girl is a waste of time. If I want you, I wouldn’t stress myself making you fall for it cause you surely would, even before I come to you.

I dived into the pool and kept swimming until I was damn tired.

“Hey bud, welcome back!” Ace called out, his arms sprawled.

“Is that really necessary? ” I asked and we laughed. I got out of the swimming pool and two maids approached. One held a white towel while the other held a glass of wine. I got the glass of wine and gulped down the content.

“It’s good to have you back bro”

“Yeah, it’s fucking good” I responded and got the towel.

“It’s been a week already. One more week and we’re outta here”

“Um… you could leave Leigh-Ann behind,” Ace said “You could always get another maid”

“If she’ll like to stay then she’s all yours” Ace didn’t say a word but took a sip from his gin.

“You still don’t have love for any of them, do you?”

I didn’t respond but looked at him like he had just spoken in some strange language. Is it hard to understand that I’m a flirt? That I and love ain’t gonna walk the same path?

“Leigh-Ann, she’s beautiful and free-spirited. It amazes me how she’s been with you for the longest time and you haven’t had a kick for her”

The same old talk. I stood up with my glass of gin and walked off. Ace is my best friend and has been looking out for me including my loveless life but I didn’t want that. I never asked him to.

“Give it a chance man, you’ll never know where it’ll lead you”

“If you were someone else, I would’ve landed a punch on that fucking face of yours. I ain’t gonna love nobody. Love is bullshit and not for someone like Kael. I know where it’ll lead me cause it’s always a threat, a weakness and I’m damn so powerful for that”

“He’s gonna be mad at me. He’ll get me fired”

Alejandra sighed then shook her head negatively. “Kael won’t do that. He’s not as merciless as he seems”

After assuring me that everything was gonna be okay, I left to meet Kael since I had been told he asked for me. Gosh, I tried not to shiver so hard. I was really afraid Kael might be so upset with me.

“You don’t show yourself when I don’t send for you” Kael gruffed once I had gotten to where he was.

He was playing snooker. “Am… am sorry Sir, I… I… I” I stuttered.

I held my breath and gulped hard. Kael looked like he wasn’t interested in whatever I was saying cause he kept playing the game. Should I leave? Hell no, I’m not. I owed him an apology for not being there when he needed me.

“Am… am sorry Sir. I was told you were looking for me but I wasn’t here… I… I had joined um… Sir Ace to… to the Country club”

Kael didn’t respond and kept playing like I didn’t exist. He didn’t look upset but I don’t know why I was bent on apologizing.

“Please forgive me, Sir… It’ll never happen again please… please Sir have mercy”

Kael looked at me and hushed me. “I don’t need disturbance” I kept quiet but didn’t leave, I wasn’t ready to.

“Did I ever tell you you were wrong to have gone out?” He suddenly asked.

“N… no Sir”

“Then why are you begging for forgiveness huh? You know you’re starting to look like a chicken to me. It runs even when no one is pursuing it”

I lowered my head without saying a word. Does it mean he wasn’t mad at me? Holy Moly, Is he for real?

“I’ll be playing lacrosse with important government officials tomorrow evening. You’ll have to be at my service”

“Yes sir” I answered and nodded repeatedly but stopped almost immediately. He’ll be playing tomorrow evening?

“By 7, we leave by 6:30 PM,” He added.

I couldn’t say a word but just looked at him like a lost sheep. I didn’t notice when he turned to look at me.

“I’m I clear?”

I nodded my head and shook my head repeatedly. Which does he go for? He looked at me and looked off without saying a word.

I had accepted dinner with Ace and he promised to pick me up by 7. Now, Kael has an important game tomorrow and as his maid, I need to be at his service, this is so not f*ckin’ good.
