More Than A Maid

Peter’s POV

I stood still, refusing to do any of her matchmaking rituals.

“You are really not gonna ask her to be your girlfriend?” My mom asked me again.

“Never!” I fired.

“I’ll go first then, let me be the one to ask him to go on a date with me and be my boyfriend” Monica suggested, beaming.

“Oh no dear, it’s not right for a lady to ask a guy out. It’s improper” My mom said and I scoffed.

How else was she gonna force me to date her? Does she really thinks I’m a kid, she’ll order or threaten to ask her out and I’ll do so? No, no. It’s never gonna happen.

I smirked and gave an annoying smile.

My mom smiled too, but she came closer and held my hand, I didn’t know what she was up to now..

“Since both of you are here; i’ll be the one to bring you two together” She said and drew me closer to Monica. She held Monica’s hand too and forcefully intertwined her fingers with me.

“What on earth are you doing mommy?” I screamed.

Monica on the other hand, seems excited. She just get to intertwin hands with me for the very first time. She wish!NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“As from now on, she’s your girlfriend!” My mom proclaimed.

“What the fvck?!” I laughed hysterically, but deep down I was paid.

“I’m not doing this!” I said.

“Whatever you say, I do not care” My mom retorted and turned to Monica.

“Have it in mind that he is your boyfriend, with time he’ll come around. Let me know if anything is wrong” My mom said and walked away.

“Your dreams, you wish Monica!” I fired at her.. “Incase you don’t know; remember I told you I’m in love with Bella, not only that; she’s my real girlfriend. You are just a fake!” I said to Monica and left her alone like I have always did.

But she followed me behind; that’s how stubborn and annoying she is but I locked my doors before she could come in.

Minutes later, I heard my mom telling her not to worry and that I’ll definitely come around soon. Never will I.

I didn’t hear her voice, I think she has left.

I just hope they won’t hurt Bella; now that my mom is on the same side with Monica.

“Peter!” I heard Bella knocking on the door.

“Here’s the glass of water you requested for” She said.

I didn’t ask for water but I get it, that’s a way of coming to see me without mom suspecting anything.

I opened the door quickly and she came in, with a tray, containing a glass of water.

“You heard everything that happened earlier” I resumed.

“Yeah” She nodded slowly. “Sorry” She said.

“What are you sorry for? Listen, any of this isn’t your fault” I said and came closer to hold her hand but she moved away.

“No.. it’s not that” She said, she stopped staring at me and look at the floor instead.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Peter” She muttered my name. “You won’t be mad right?” She asked.

I smiled.. “Of course, I have never been mad at you; you have always been there for me, you have done me no wrong and…” She Interrupted me.

“I’m breaking with you Peter” She said.

“What??!!” I exclaimed.

“I never should have accepted your proposal in the first place. Peter, I’m no longer interested. I’m an ordinary maid, forget about me and move on with Monica, she’s better and different from me, she’s your kind of girl” Bella rushed her words, she kept on cutting me off and won’t me speak till she was done. And when she was done, she headed straight out of my room and ran after her.

We met Monica at the corridor.

“You are still here” I said with disgust in my eyes.

Bella huffed and excused us.

“What are you still doing here Bella?” I voiced.

“Having a chit chat with your mother of course, whiling giving you all time to be mad all you want then come around later” She said.

“You are wasting your time Monica” I said.

“I’m not. I have more chance, especially now that Bella isn’t interested in you anymore” She said.

Jeez. She overheard over conversation.

“How about I tell your mom that you were having an affair with the maid?”

“Do not try such thing!”

“Why? ‘cos she’ll send her away?! Oh! That will make me so happy” She smiled in a mischievous way.

“You are wicked Monica!” I shot her an hard stare.

“Whatever. Mom wants you in the living room now” She said. I smirked and walked towards my room.

“There an event planner. Your birthday. I’m helping her in choosing and planning a big Twentieth party for you. Come join us in the preparation. That’s why I came to get you. Don’t worry, I won’t tell your mom that Bella was here” She said.

I gave a weird smile; “If this is your way or her method of trying to impress me then you’ve failed Monica, you’ve just made me hate you more” I said.

I walked away to Bella’s room. It was locked, I called her name but she won’t even open up the door. I don’t want my mom to know there’s something wrong, so I had to leave. I went back to my room and began to cry like a baby. Like the momma’s pet I’ve become.
