London, 19 February 2015

The week goes by quickly, after the scene with that blonde, I had called my parents to distract myself and also went to my aunt's house, house no, mansion. What I had seen made me angry and disgusted. After that day Bryan and I barely spoke to each other, I do my job and go to the flat straight, I always leave things in order in his flat, the maid comes in and there is nothing for her to do.

Later I get a text from Bryan, saying he wouldn't need my services, so I'll have the day off. That's great!

I take a shower, put on a cold sweater, a pair of sweatpants and go to the cinema to watch a movie, it's been a while since I've seen a movie. It is a comedy film, I laugh a lot at the scenes, it was funny. As soon as the film ends I buy a juice and some chocolates.

Leaving the cinema, that blonde girl, Bryan's wife, looks me up and down, I don't know what she is doing here and why she looks at me like that, so I change course and she says:

" Hey, I know you saw me, don't you dare ignore me, waitress."

" The blonde laughs and I turn around, I answer her by getting close to her."

" Shut your mouth! You have no right to talk to me like that. So go find something to do. - She's a lot bigger than me, but I'm not afraid, she must be more than ten centimeters tall. The woman raises her hand to slap me and someone holds her hand, it had to be this man."

- I go to buy the tickets and she already makes a fuss? - It's Bryan, he doesn't wear a suit, as I imagined, he wears a long sleeved black blouse and black jeans, but he's still charming. He looks different this way, but he's still as gorgeous as ever. I shake my head and push that thought out of my head.

" Why the fight, may I ask?"

Before the blonde can speak, I say.

" Your beloved thinks she has the right to call me a maid and in fact, she has no right here. She may be your girlfriend, but of me she has no right to speak and not even look at me. "

I speak nervously.

Bryan laughs low.

That smile is charming and makes me even more nervous, I even feel my heart racing, what the fuck is this?

" Two fools, fighting over stupidity. Megan, only I can call Annie a maid because she works for me, baby. And she's not my girlfriend, she only gives me pleasure when I need it, speaking of which, I need pleasure after the movies."

Megan smiles at him satisfied and I roll my eyes saying:

" I didn't need to hear that detail. Now that that's all cleared up, I'm off."

I say turning around without even saying goodbye, I just want to get out of there, I don't want to risk feeling weird about this man. As I cross the street, I see a man driving a motorbike, he is coming towards me at high speed, so, quickly, I take a few steps back, but the wheel of the bike passes over my foot. WHAT THE FUCK!

I scream, the man on the motorbike parks the bike and comes towards me.

I am crouched down, the pain is extreme and I can't even scream anymore because of the pain. My foot is throbbing so bad, it hurts all over. Just as the man approaches, I hear Bryan's voice.

"You idiot, you can't even drive a motorbike, get out of here before I report you, I won't warn you again."

The sound of his voice is loud and clear, he sounds nervous, quickly he lifts me up and I can't stop it. I can only feel the pain and I can't speak a word. He says as we stand facing each other.

" How are you? "

He looks at me worriedly.

I take a breath and try to say something.

" I... "

The voice came out too low.

"It hurts a lot."

" I'm taking her to the hospital, see you later. "

Bryan tells Megan

Megan goes to Bryan and asks them to be together, that she wants to spend the night with him, but Bryan says nervously:

" I said, no! Get a taxi and put it on my tab. See you later."

The blonde walked off angrily and I hear her ask for a taxi.

Bryan says:

" Put your hand on my shoulder. "

I deny and he demands, not asks, what a gentleman, eh? I think ironically. I give in and rest my arm on his shoulder, he leads me to his car.

It's a Vulcan, very beautiful black, he opens the door for me and helps me in, after he gets in he tells me to buckle up and drives towards the hospital.

My left foot throbs and burns a lot, I don't wish this pain to anyone, I make a few faces until I get to the hospital.

The hospital is very fancy, very organised and clean, too clean even. I wait on a bench and then Bryan comes back and says:

" Come on, they're waiting for us."

It was so fast, it must be a private hospital.

He takes my hand and we walk together to the room. I don't know why he took my hand, it's too warm and soft, I feel my whole arm goose bumps and my hand starts to sweat, I'm nervous. Why do I feel like this with him? We enter the room, I take my hand out of his and he whispers in my ear:

" Why did you let go of my hand?"

I say dryly.

" Because I don't want you holding my hand."

I give this excuse and the doctor speaks coming towards me:

" Please Annie, sit on the stretcher and I will examine you."

I carefully lie down on the gurney and the doctor takes off my all-star.

He takes off my sock and assesses:

" Your foot is bleeding and has a huge cut and is dented too. We're going to clean your foot, close the cut and take an X-ray to make sure you haven't broken anything. We will apply anaesthesia, it won't hurt."

He says and I nod my head. I see Bryan sitting in the chair, he doesn't look away from me, it's even strange.

The procedure was over and unfortunately I broke my foot, the doctor bandaged it and told me to come back in three days to evaluate my foot again. He gave me pain medicine, I got a pack of medicine in case I felt pain in a few days, the doctor gave me gauze, bandage and saline solution. I thank the doctor and Bryan puts my arm on his shoulder.

" Thank you, and you shouldn't be here, I can leave."

" No way, I'm taking you to the flat."

I find his behavior strange, why is he acting like this? I'm really confused.

Hours later, we arrive at the flat.

I feel relaxed now in a calm and cozy place. Strange, because I didn't find this place like this before.

" Do you want anything?"

He asks me while stretching his body, looking at me.

"I don't need anything, I'm fine."

" Are you sure?"

He asks worried, it's strange to see his way of worrying about me, because he barely knows me, just like I barely know him.

" I am, and Megan's waiting for you."

He gives a crooked smile and comes over to me with his seductive gaze. Don't do that Bryan, I think to myself.

"She'll be waiting then."

He is very close, his perfume is strong and delicious, his skin is beautiful up close, very beautiful, and that plump mouth, those eyes. He looks at me differently, I can tell, I close my eyes, turn my face and try to calm my mind.

" Well, I'm going to bed, it's already... "

I consult my wristwatch.

" Look, it's ten thirty. I have to work tomorrow."

I get up and he says, still close to me:

"You don't have to work, you're excused. Your money is already in your account. You can stay here until you recover, then I will need the flat, because it is mine."

I widen my eyes.

" But you have other flats, why don't you sleep in another one? "

I say, smiling, and he stares at me, playing along.

" I want to stay here, Annie, here I have company."

He smiles at me and gives me a wink, I say goodnight to him and go to the bedroom, this man is very naughty, that's for sure! I lock the door just in case, it's his flat, he can sleep here after all. But I want distance until he leaves here for work. If you can't give... SHIT...
