"Here you go Ms. Emma" Mary dropped the orange juice she had made for Emma on the table. "I made this myself, specially for you" she said with a big smile on her face. Mary and Emma had started to get along pretty well lately. Emma had apologized for her outburst the other day and they were on good terms again. A few days had passed an Mary was yet to get hold of any reasonable information concerning Adonis and the supposed murder case. Adonis was really good in hiding and covering his tracks. Mary stood at the window in her room, watching the sunset. She had always loved to watch s the sun sets into the horizon, she loved the bright orange colours that spread out on the sky while the round beauty made it's way to the lower part of the sky. The sunset reminded her of her dad, and her home at Ohio. She would always watch the sunset with her dad every evening in the balcony. Adonis came back later than he had promised, as these while he he kept promising to play cards wi
He kept inching even higher and higher, making breathless with every passing second. She automatically closed her eyes and parted her lips in anticipation of what was to come. His fingers inched even higher, caressing her naked thighs and sending ecstasy from his fingers to her ever ready body. She could feel his harsh breaths hit her face even harder. Making her yearn for his lips I n hers.Mary’s eyes suddenly snapped open when she could no longer feel his closeness, only then did she notice the phone ringing on the table. “I think I would have to take this” he said with a soft voice. “Huh”. “Sorry, I would not be able to play cards with you, tonight maybe some other time, something urgent just came up. He picked the phone and walked away abruptly.Mary punched the bed in annoyance as soon as he was out of the room. She felt highly and utterly disappointed, she was really anticipating spending some time with him that night since he had been mostly unavailable lately.How could
There he was, sprawled out on the couch, lying the arms of two naked women. There were empty bottles of alcohol on the ground. Mary stood there, staring at them with wide eyes, she could not believe her eyes, she could already feel the tears stinging at her eyes. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of her footsteps. He was obviously drunk. “You are back” he asked with a silly smile on his face. He stands up from the couch and walked towards her, staggering at intervals. “I thought you would not come back again, I’ve been waiting for you”. He tried to touch her but she pushed his hand away and ran to her room. Even though she did not know why, even though she had no right to claim ownership on him, Mary still found herself weeping uncontrollably because of what she had seen in the sitting room. She felt her heart tear into a thousand pieces, like a spear had been through it, piercing and tearing at it with every distance it goes into her weary heart. Her tears f
“You mean you would like to visit your friend and family over the weekend? It’s fine, you can have as many off days as you want” “No, that’s no what I meant” Mary swallowed hard. “Sir” she added as an after thought, laying more emphasis on the word ‘sir’ Adonis raised his eyebrows. His adam’s apple bobbed up and down at hearing her refer to him as sir. But he stayed silent about it. He urged her to go ahead and speak by nodding his head towards her. “What I mean is, I want to quit”. Adonis looked at her in disbelief for some time, he thought she was probably playing a prank on him. “What do you mean? Mary”. “I mean I want to quit, I don’t want to work here anymore”. “Why? Has Emma been hard on you again? Did she do something? Do you want my to talk to here? Should I…..” Mary cut him off before he could finish. “No, there would be no need for that”. “No. Tell me Mary, why do you want to quit?” “It is simple Sir, I do not want to work here anymore”.
Mary stared wide eyed at the broken plates and glasses on the ground. Then she slowly, painfully, with her heart beating fast like a drum, she looked up to face the old woman standing in front of her. “Is this what you do?” Emma asked with fire burning in her eyes “Are you this careless and clumsy?” Mary’s lips trembled as she tried to open her mouth to say a word. “I…… I ……. I’m sorry Ms. Emma” “I am not interested in hearing your apologies, this is all you low class people are good for, you can never be up to any good” Could feel the tears starting to sting at the corner of her eyes. “Do you know how close you were to hurting me? You this clumsy maid”. “I am sorry mam, it was not my intention to hurt you at all I promise” “Be quiet you this incompetent and disoriented low class human. I would have asked you to replace all of these that you have destroyed, but I am pretty sure you would not even be able to afford it” Mary wiped her eyes with th
They walked past her like she did not exist, with the woman swaying her hips from one side to the other like one who is participating in a beauty pageant. Mary immediately looked away, pretending not to have seen them. "It's not like I care anyways" she said with her arms folded. Mary's phone started vibrating again, it was Emma.Mary deliberated within herself if to do to her, or just continue to pretend like her phone was in the bathroom. While Mary tried to sneak up to her room, she suddenly heard a soft but authoritative voice. "Hey you!" She stopped and looked around, it was the woman Adonis had come home with. "You are probably a maid here, would you kindly get me a glass of wine?". Mary stood transfixed, watching her with agape mouth. She had no idea how to respond to that remark by the silly woman. Mary was so carried away in her thoughts that she did not know when the woman had come close to her. She only became aware of her environment when the woman sn
Mary was finally relieved when she got a call from Mia asking if she would like to hang out tommorow. "Off course, where would we be going?" "Surprise" the small voice rang from the other side. Mary could not wait for tommorow, at least she would get away from all the tensions in this house. Mary tried to catch some sleep even though it was just evening, but it seemed impossible to catch any sleep at that time. She wondered if Adonis was back, she got a bit curious and decided to go outside to check. His car was not in the drive way so he was not home yet. "How would he be home? When he is probably out, clubbing with his concubine". Mary sat In the garden, tried to convince herself that she wanted to sit there to get some fresh air especially since she could not get any sleep in her room. But something inside her told her that she was probably sitting there because she was awaiting Adonis return. Her heart beat increased when she sighted his car drive into the compound,
"I really understand how you feel Mary dear, this is exactly what you get when you fall in love with your rich boss" Mia said as she took a sip from that I've tea she held in her hand. "I know right, the heart never listens. It never allows you to choose who it would fall on love with, it just goes ahead to fall in love with whoever it choses, and now I'm in this mess". Mary rested her head on the chair she now sat on. "It's okay Mary, you would get over this in no time" They were both sitting in a shade by the road side sipping ice tea they had gotten from the nearby coffee shop. "His grandmother is not even any better, she is becoming even more and more harder on me. I can not wait to just get away from them both". "Come here Mary" Mia said spreading out her arms to her" Mary buried herself in Mia's embrace, feeling the scent of her perfume the smelt like flowers. Her scent reminded her of the flowers in Adonis gather when they open every morning and spread those beau
