CHAPTER 19: TRY TO IMPRESS HIM

After a few minutes of conversation, we arrived at the villa. Precisely, that the rain stops, so I told him. “Oh, I’m already here in the villa. I need to get off here.”

We were just outside the villa, and he knew I would walk a long way if I walk, so his forehead wrinkled and told me. “Are you sure you won’t let me drive you in front of your house? You know you will walk a long way if you don’t take a car.”

He was right, but I was afraid that my husband would see me with someone else, and I didn’t want my husband to misunderstand, so I made excuses. “Hmmm, the t-truth is, I don’t own the house. I’m just a maid there, right, a maid, and I don’t want my boss to see me. Sorry,”

He didn’t seem to believe my answer, but he still nodded. “Oh, okay,”

I smiled at him and said, “Okay, I have to go. Bye,”

He waved at me and said, “Bye.”

I immediately opened the door of his car and entered the villa. As I have walked quite a distance, I turned to him, making sure that his car was gone already, and when I already make sure that his car was gone, I was a little relaxed deeply, so I sighed. “Ahh, thank God, that he’s gone.”

I hurriedly turned toward my husband’s house. I also walked a quiet distance before I reached the house, so I am a bit gasping as I entered the gate of the house and when I was inside the house’s gate, Ethan saw me wet and full of sweat, so he approached me and asked. “I am confused if you are wet because of rain or you are wet because of sweat?” he looked at me from head to toe.

I was a little taken aback by his stare, but I still answered him as I fake a smile. “Both,”

He laughed at my answer. “Hahaha…!!! Okay?”

“Yes, it’s the truth,” I insisted.

He nodded and said, “Okay, go ahead, take a shower.”

“Okay,” I replied, and I hurried into the house.

When I was inside the house, I took significant steps while walking up the stairs until I finally reached our room as well. I immediately took my folded towel from the walk-in closet and entered the bathroom. I’m finished bathing, so I wrapped the towel around my body while my wet hair is loose.

I was going to the closet to get another towel to wipe my damp hair when someone knocked on the door, so what I had in mind was to open it. I forgot that I only have a towel wrapped around me. As I opened the door, Ethan’s eyes widened as he looked at my healthy breasts, and he hurriedly averted his eyes from me and said, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were taking a bath.”

I saw on his face that he was blushing. I also felt ashamed, but even though I still tried to act normal. As if it was no big deal at all. “It’s okay,” I said to him. He still can’t look at me and said to me stuttered. “I-I think I’ll be back later.” And then he immediately went away.

I also quickly went inside, ashamed of myself. “Oh, my, Alyssa, what have you done? You are so embarrassing; how are you going to face Ethan now?” I uttered, simultaneously pulling my hair as I shake my head. Then I immediately closed the door.

I immediately went to the closet and looked for something to wear. I saw a blue sleeveless dress with a plane design that is dropping up to the knee. Its fabric is cotton and is comfortable to wear, so I chose it to wear today.

I would have been ready to go down, but I’m hesitant because I’m ashamed to see Ethan today regarding what happened earlier. I’m a conservative, aloof and shy type of person and of course, no boyfriend since birth but got an instant husband. That’s why I took AB Mass Communication to lessen my shyness and to enhance my confidence. I kept walking back and forth, thinking about what to do if I keep going down and pretend like nothing happened or don’t show up to him now. “Come what may,” I said to myself and left the room to head to the kitchen.

When I was on the stairs, I slowly step downstairs to see if Ethan isn’t there, and when I ensured he was not around, I hurried to step down until I got down. I hurriedly walk to the kitchen when a sudden, “Bang!!!” I crashed into something. “Ouch,” I shouted.

I close my eyes. I was almost out of balance because of the force of my collision when someone hugged me, so I did not fall. His embrace was so tight that he pressed my chest against his body. I slowly open my eyes to see who was hugging me as I raise my head. My eyes widened because the one who embraced me was Ethan.

He was looking at me with concern. I didn’t move while looking at him when he said to me. “Are you okay?”

I took off his hand that was already holding my waist and said, “I’m okay, thanks.” I bowed my head.

“Why are you in a hurry?” he asked in astonishment.

“Hm, I want to cook something,” I replied, without looking at him.

He smirked at me and said, “Uh, okay, go ahead.”

I continued to walk to the kitchen when he called me. “Alyssa,” I stopped walking.

“Let me help you,” he added, so I turned to him for what he said. I look into his eyes. He seemed to forget what had happened earlier, so I nodded.

He followed me into the kitchen. When we got to the kitchen, he asked me for whom I would cook. It isn’t very comfortable to admit, but I still told him I would cook for Leonard. He informs me that if I wanted to impress my husband, I must cook his favorite dishes. “What is his favorite food?” I asked shamelessly.

As I observed him, he thought first before answering, so I waited for his answer while staring at him.
