TWENTY-FIVE

Kamilla Lopez

MONDAY 7 AM....

During the rest of the day on Sunday, I helped Dona Carolina with the housework, and we went to the market to buy some things that were already missing. About the services at home, I cleaned from corner to corner, my thoughts were hammering in my head related to Nick Ross, my life changed a lot after I met him, I never thought that I would work for him, that I would get to lie in his bed, the things are happening quickly in the blink of an eye. I'm not a saint, I'm aware of my attitudes, but I'm not like that, I've never been one to get involved with anyone at work, even more so with my boss. Nick is gorgeous, his physical beauty is breathtaking, the sex with him is incredible, but I can't keep behaving like this. He had me in his bed, he gave me the best sex and orgasm that anyone else is unlikely to feel,

I look again at my long white dress, on my feet there was a small flat, my hair was loose and still damp from the shower a few minutes ago. I was determined to end the relationship that Nick and I have, I don't see anything serious with him in the future, after all he's a successful and experienced man, for him, I'm nothing more than a distraction, a temporary fuck. I don't want to be just a fuck for a man, I want a man who, besides having sex with me, who loves me and that I don't see in Nick Ross. He is an intense man with cold features, he has a serious and intimidating look, he leaves any woman with her panties wet, but I don't see him as a family man, capable of being present in his son's life or at home, Erick himself is for example, he misses the presence of his father who feeds this absence by letting him do what he wants.

— Are you going to work yet?

Dona Carolina appears in the bedroom door with a cup of coffee in her hands.

— Yes, I'm just waiting for the car to come pick me up....

Dona Carolina enters my room and sits on the edge of my bed, I automatically turn to her.

— Why are you wearing that expression?— If it's for what happened yesterday....

— That's not why, I was even going to tell you about the medicine.

— So..... What do you have?

— It's nothing, Dona Carolina.

— Don't just accept carnal desire if it doesn't satisfy you emotionally, it's not worth it.

I hear the vehicle's horn and quickly say goodbye to her with those words flying over my mind, as soon as I went down the stairs I got in the car. Once on the property, I went through the entrance hall and went to the servants' room to store my purse and then left. The hours went by, meanwhile I helped some employees in the service, I cleaned Erick's room and even Nick's, I touched his duvet and inhaled the smell of his perfume, I closed my eyes and remembered what we did. I get out of my thoughts and go to the entrance hall to wait for Erick to arrive. The Van soon passed through the gates and in an instant I saw him get out of the vehicle, he starts his steps into the mansion without even looking at me.

That attitude affected me a lot, I never imagined that Erick would treat me that way, he's probably upset that I didn't stay when he asked me to, or it could be something else, does he know that I stayed with his father? I looked at the stairs, watching him go up them without looking back. I see Morgana coming towards me in fearful steps looking at me, as she approached she said:

— It was a very difficult weekend for him.

— What happened over the weekend?

— He had a fever wanting you near him, the boy took to you, no wonder you gave him attention and affection in your week, something Mr. Ross hasn't done in years.

— Thanks for telling me this.

I go upstairs going to Erick's room thinking, now I understand why he wanted me to stay so much, he's getting attached to me. Nick should pay more attention to his son, be more present in his life, after all he is the father and Erick has only him.

— I can enter? — I ask, standing in front of your door.

— He can....

— Are you mad at me?

— No....

— Then answer, looking into my eyes.

— I'm not mad at you, I'm just sad.

— Why are you sad?

— Because I spent another weekend alone.

He lowered his head and my heart sank with that attitude, Erick is a lonely boy, he just needs company or rather his father. I bend down in front of him and lift his face, I see a sad tear slide from his right eye and down his cheek.

— Don't leave me alone again....

— I'm not leaving you alone, okay?

— Promise?

— I promise

The hug is strong, and then I break it, trail kisses across her face and ruffle her hair.

— For God's sake, you stink, go take a shower!

He gets up from his bed happily and goes to the bathroom and starts what I ordered. In the afternoon, we played in the garden, and then I took care of him in the pool, many times he asked me to join him, but I chose to stay out, I don't know how to swim, since Erick looks like a fish. When he got dark I took him to his room, I bathed him, and then I fed him, already in bed I was finishing telling him a story that was told to me at the orphanage.

— Did the little dolphin find his little friend?

— Yes, he found it. — I answer, covering him with his blanket.

I kissed her forehead and then approached the door, but before leaving, I heard her sleepy voice.

— Are you going, mom?

— In a few minutes.

— But will you come back tomorrow?

— Of course, I'll be waiting for you at the front door.

I see him smile and then yawn, being dominated by sleep, I leave the room and go down the stairs. In the main room I see Morgana leaving the office accompanied by a tray in hand, I approach her and ask:

— Has Mr. Ross arrived yet?

— Yes.

— Right, thank you.

As soon as she left, I approached the door and knocked twice, then I heard her thick and rigid voice ordering me to enter. I open the door and enter the almost dark room, I see him sitting in his armchair with papers in his hands, his eyes look at me and I see, surprised to see me there, he drops the papers and leans against the back of the armchair. I take steps forward feeling the nervousness go through my body, with a shaky voice, I say:

— We need to talk.
