Beauty isn't about having a pretty face.

It's about having a pretty mind, heart and soul.

Javier's POV

I woke up to the wonderful scent of coffee.

What?!

Why would I wake up to the scent of coffee when I live alone? I didn't go to any club last night and I didn't invite any girl over so am not supposed to have a visitor. I sprinted out of bed and hurried to go see the intruder who managed to evade the hotel securities.

I his behind beside the door and peeped out to look at the kitchen, but I didn't see an intruder. I saw Megan. Then it all came to me, I remembered how yesterday she became my personal maid and I gave her the passcode of my penthouse. Now she was here already preparing breakfast!

I looked at her, I couldn't see her face just her back but it was a pretty view from over here, her dark hair that surprisingly looked neat today was packed into a bun with a few strands peaking out from everywhere, she wore a lose white top, I couldn't see what she wore below because of the kitchen counter. The way she moved, the way she tapped her head while thinking__ having a pretty girl cook for you in the morning was the most romantic thing ever_ even if she's just doing her job.

I rubbed my hands together in excitement as I dashed back upstairs to my room, I took a quick bath, brushed my teeth till it sparkled and got dressed in a blue sweat pant and__ ok I'll just keep the navy shirt on my shoulder, she wouldn't mind me walking around bare chest right?

I did that all the time when am alone.

With that I raced to the kitchen but not before stopping right near to observe her for a little while, dammit I forgot to wear some perfume and comb my hair. Oh well I took a bath that should be enough. She seemed confused as if she didn't really know what to do next.

"Hi Megan”I said finally entering the kitchen.

"Good morning Mr Altamira”she said not even looking at me as she chopped tomatoes.

Mr Altamira?

"Why did you call me Mr Altamira?”I asked coming close to her.

She raised her head up to speak but stopped, eyes blinking and jaw slaking as she took in my shirtlessness

Just the reaction I was hoping for, I even leaned down on the counter like a model to give her a nice view of what she was missing out on.

"Umm Miss Hart are you checking me out on your first day of work?”I asked with a straight face.

She blinked again, "No_ no am not”then she turned back to tomato but didn't seem to find the kitchen knife that was right in front of her.

"I think this is what you are searching for”I said picking up the knife and handing it to her.

"Yea yea but I don't need it anymore”she said trying to get back her bearings as she collected the knife and dropped aside, then went for eggs.

"So why the new formalities?”I said backing away from her to give her some cooking space.

"Well you are officially my boss now, boss and maid aren't informal to each other and i received a working prep from Conner this morning”she explained, while trying to flap the egg on the pan but didn't know how.

I for one hate seeing damsels in distress and am an expert in cooking thanks to my mum, also this is my breakfast we are talking about, so__ It’s just right that I helped out especially now that she was confused.

I went closer to her and...

Warped my right hand on hers and put my left on her, by back pressing against her, I felt her get stiff in front of me.

"So you flap it like this, carefully to avoid spillage”I said flapping the pan expertly while trying to ignore the smile creeping up my face.

"Are you sure you are concentrating on this?”I asked her placing my cheeks beside hers and electrifying us.

"Um_um__kinda_”she shuttered out, then push me away "Kinda hard to do that with you pressing against me, put on your shirt pretty boy"

I smirked relaxing on the could and taking an apple, "I thought we were going 'formal' "

She looked back at me and watched me chew the apple for a minutes before replying, "you and I know that was not going to work"

I sat down and waited while she served breakfast; toast, egg, tomatoes, bacon and coffee. It was super delicious.

"Aren't you going to eat?”I asked her while chewing, sorry mum I can't have the perfect eating manners all the time.

"No, thanks for offering anyway, got to go__ change and all”she said as she disappeared into a room.

A while later she came out dressed in her maid outfIt’s that looked perfect on her, loaded with cleaning kIt’s. I finished off the breakfast and went to wash the dishes.

"Hey what are you doing?”She said rushing to me and dragging my soapy hands out of the sink.

"Am washing what does it look like?”I asked.

"That's my work to do, shoo away”she said.

"My bedroom is really a mess, I've not let any body clean the room for a week, I have so many dirty laundries and soon I'll be craving for home made cookies, I think your hands are pretty full”I said crossing my hands and looking at her.

She gulped then blinked, "so__ washing dishes is also my work"

"I'll take care of this Megan, go do others”I said holding her shoulders and pushing her away.

She smiled at me then went away. While washing my phone rang, I saw the screen_ Dad.

Ahh what's wrong now.

"Hello?"

"Clyde told me you are in New York"

Am fine thanks for asking dad.

"Yes, am currently in New York"

"How are the Sullivans?"

Oh dear Sullivans get to be asked after.

"Fine, they sent their regards"

"So I need you to be in charge of the company over there, we need to get hold of the Shipyard in Germany, and I need someone to convince the board of directors"

Oh great, Work.

"But you already have someone in charge over here"

"Yea but a really important stuff is involved and guess what my son is over there, you need to take over and control everything, impress the board and be perfect, you are my son!"

Yay for me!

"OK dad, I'll resume tomorrow"

"Good, there is this Man, he is important in the business world, his name is Albert Stein, impress him"

Before I could reply, the line cut dead. I felt like stomping my foot on ground and yell out. I didn't want to work, I just want to relax, get to know Megan and maybe steal Kristen away from Samuel, now I needed to work. How do I get to spend time with Megan now?

I looked at Meg and saw her scooting down and dusting away the speakers and other electronics, then an idea struck me. I changed into a respectable outfit.

"Come on Megan, we need to go out”I said grabbing her arm and dragging her up.

"Umm why? Where to? And Oww!”She said taking her arm away and massaging the spot I grabbed.

"Sorry, we need to go out now__ no questions”I said holding her hand and dragging her again.

"OK OK but I need to change first"

"OK go you have 3 minutes"

I looked at my watch, smirked and rubbed my hands together in the wizard way.

Am gonna blow Megan's mind.

Megan's POV

We've been driving for 20 minutes, I kept track because I was nervous, I wonder what pretty boy is up to, my feet kept tapping the car as my hands tapped my legs and grabbed my knees. I hate surprises.

"Would you stop being nervous? Am not going to kill you you know”he said glancing at me as he drove.

"Then tell me where we are going, you know I have a lot of things to do back at the penthouse”I said.

He smirked, "surprise Megan, why do you hate surprises, did someone surprise you and made you poop on your pants"

"I don't hate surprises__ who am I kidding, I do hate surprises and last time it was pee not poop”I said getting embarrassed and remembering the last time Elvis threw me a surprise birthday party for me and I peeed on my body right in front of everybody.

Disaster of the year.

"Yea because pee is so much better than poop”he said laughing.

I glared at him, "just tell me already"

"No need, we are here already”he said parking the Lamborghini in front of the mall, Victoria's secret shopping plaza. My jaw hung open, Rita and I have been here countless times__ to browse through clothes.

The clothes here are super beautiful and expensive.

"What are we doing here?"

"To shop, you are helping me”he said coming out as I followed suit.

We entered in and were greeting by a blond middle aged woman whose hair was up and tied too tight.

"Welcome to Victoria, how may I help you”she said, ogling pretty boy and paying no attention to me.

Bitch.

Pretty leaned in and whispered something into her ear, her face lit up as she directed up to a sector of the wonderful shopping plaza.

It was filled with working\ formal outfIt’s, they looked so beautiful.

The Lady brought a set to us, pants, shirt, blazer and scarf. Grey and white.

"What do you think Megan?”Pretty boy asked.

"Why ask me? I know nothing about fashion"

"Am shopping for my new PA at the office, I have enough fashion sense and if am asking you, am asking for a reason”he said.

I let my inner fashion girl out, but kept in the squeal, “I think It’s wonderful, your PA is really lucky "

"OK so help me shop for her"

And that's how it started, turn on your Nickelodeon big time rush music people coz It’s a shopping fiesta and am on a roll. In my head am in Disney land shopping for myself. You get the picture right?

The clothes were so fabulous, almost all came with nice blazers, then scarfs of overcoat. The best parts were the shoes and designer bags, pretty boy helped a lot, the man is a fashion genius.

I saw this spectacular fluffy furry blue bag with a nice crystal heel to match, it so beautiful it entranced me immediately, l loved it. Pretty boy must have seen him watching it, because he came right behind and picked it up.

"No no no”I whined as he carried it, I wanted to save up and come buy it later, but too bad, Javier got it first.

The clothes were much, am sure it cost near a million, the Lady packed it up while pretty boy gave her his credit card.

Soon we were out, with thousands of bags at my care, I could barely carry them all, we has lunch at a fancy restaurant again eating fancy foods. I didn't even know when it became late and pretty boy brought me back home.

"Thanks for the ride pretty boy”I said getting out of the car.

But he came out and started unloading the bags one by one at my feet and my hands.

"What are you doing?”I asked.

"These are yours”he said finally through.

"What__ stop kidding, your PA remember?”I asked as I started to shake a little, stop joking around pretty boy.

"Yes, congratulations Megan, you are my new PA”he said.

I couldn't feel my knees anymore as I fell on the bags of clothes.

He bent down to my ground level and whispered to my ear "see you in the hotel at 8, don't be late__ and please don't pee"

Then he got up, entered his car and i got my sense and control of my limbs back.

"Pretty boy, am sorry I can't accept these”I said to him through the open window.

"You can't reject Megan, It’s not from me, It’s from the company, It’s a free gift to all new workers, don't thank me, thank me!”He said then wind back the windows up and rode away.

I lost control of my limbs again, I clutched a bag tightly suppressing a squeal as a wide smile creeped in.

It’s all mine, mine, mine!!

I feel a pee coming up.
