More Than A Maid

Peter’s POV

The final examination approached quickly and soon we were done and free. Free because we only need to wait for our final results then further admissions into the higher institution.

I thought this freedom will be a chance for Bella and I to go on a date and have fun but My Mom and Dad were still around and they said they’ll only travel back to work after my birthday which was still a week away, seems too far. I have no problem with Dad though he doesn’t know I’m in love with the maid but mother on the other hand! Anytime soon, she’ll come to me only to raise up the topic that Monica and I should be in a relationship.

My phone suddenly rang, jerking me off the complicated thought. Speak of devil, it was Monica; the real devil, herself. I didn’t give her a chance to speak to me in school since she wasn’t ready to apologise to Bella like I’ve told her, now she’s calling me?¿

I smirked and ignored the ringing phone, which soon stopped but started ringing again.

“Aarrgh!” I groaned and picked it up reluctantly.

~”What do you want from me Monica?” I barked into the phone as soon as I picked it up.

~”I’m sorry for disturbing you Peter”

~”Didn’t I tell you not to speak with me if you do not apologise to Bella for all what you have done to her??” I asked.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

~”That’s right. I will come over to your place now. I’ll come apologise to her” She said.

Huh??! Why didn’t she just apologise while we were still in school??

Now she wants to come over when my mom is around and will… willingly welcome her in.

~”See you soon Peter” Monica said..

“Huh.. no.. don’t…” She hung up the call before I could even complete my statement. I tried to call her back but she wouldn’t pick up the call.

“Arrragh!!” I groaned again. I was confused like..

Looks like my mom likes Monica and hates Bella, the one Monica is coming over to apologise to.

Gosh! What’s gonna happen now.

“Peter” Bella knocked on the door of my room.

I hurried to open the door, let her in and shut the door behind her.

“Shii, My mom would know you came to my room” I whispered, she smiled in mischievous way.

“I have something to tell you Peter”

“What is it?”

“Uhnn.. not now. I.. I am actually because your mother told me to bring you to her room” She said.

“I’m not going there. Tell her I’m busy, sleeping. Just give a lie” I said.

“You have been avoiding her obviously, and she knows. Peter please, she told me to bring you or she… fires me” Bella stuttered.

“What?” I exclaimed. “How can she be using your only means of earning to threaten you?!”

Bella didn’t respond, but I could see it in her eyes that she was sad and fed up of this whole situation.

“Come to her room with me please” She pleaded.

I sighed; “Okay, I will” I finally agreed.

Looks like mom knows that, Bella is my weak point.

Monica’s POV

I wore a stunning outfit and made sure that my look will make a guy take a second glance at me.

I emerged to the living room to take my leave. Jeez! My mom was there.

“Where are you going Monica?” She asked me.

“Really? I’m now an high school graduate and you want me to ask for permission before I go out?”

“That’s not it. That’s not even the question I asked you; you are done with your final exams and I thought both of us could have a mother and daughter day together, you know gist and stuffs” My mom said and I scoffed.

“By the way, when will you go back to work? You are such a kill fun here” I folded my arms and rolled my eyes.

“Do you prefer I leave and your father stays at home with you always instead?”

“No way. By the way, where’s Dad?”

“Huh.. he is busy, he is into something but that’s not the issue now, why do you call your lovely mom a kill fun?”

“That’s what you are still doing, you are literally always on my neck? Treating me like I’m a baby. You won’t even let me go out now” I said.

“No.. I’m not stopping you. You are free dear”

“I’m going to Peter’s place” I told her and her jaw dropped. “What is it? Oh! You won’t let me go there now? I’m not surprised” I smirked.

“No dear, I was gonna discuss something with you about Peter”

“What is it? That I shouldn’t pay him a visit anymore? Just the way you don’t want me to stay at his place”

“Oh that..” My mom muttered.

“You upset me the very day you said it’s okay for Peter to live alone with a female maid but both of us shouldn’t live together” I told her.

“Oh! I’m sorry I said that, I guess I was just being over protective; little did I realize what a grown up girl you are now” She said and I scoffed again.

“Do you like Peter that much?” She asked me. I gave a eye roll and looked away.

“It’s very obvious”

“You know nothing mom!”

“Come on, open up to me. I have been there before. Young love is the sweetest, bet it!”

“Why are you telling me this? It’s one sided and Peter isn’t giving me that hope.” I opened up to her.

“Listen dear, Peter will be yours. He’ll surely date you” My mom said and I looked her, surprised.

“What do you mean? I mean; how? Wanna give me some tips you used to get Dad? Trust me I’ve tried every seductive move but Peter won’t look at me twice” I told my mom and she laughed.

“Believe me Monica, he won’t have a choice this time around. Even his mother is in support of you two being together.”

“Really?” I excalimed. “How are we gonna be together?”

“Uhn, just call it a contracted or arranged relationship. This has to do with business too. ” She explained believe and I smiled widely.

I don’t have to apologise to that stupid girl, Bella. But I’ll still go to his place to play my own part of the game, now that we are gonna be in a relationship by force. I read that one sided love is the sweetest, same as forced relationship or arranged marriage. Both partners tends to grow in strong love.
