CHAPTER FOUR

"What the hell you doing here?" He asked again.

"And... Who are you?" I asked in a low tone as if I didn't know him. I couldn't help but ask. Then Rudy came bouncing in and barking. She jumped into my arms almost falling me down and licked my face while wagging it's tail.

"Come on, Rudy. Stop that." I held her down.

"Wait! You're the one who's taking care of Rudy?" He asked ridiculously and he scuffed and then shook his head.

I had never been so embarrassed. How was I supposed to know that the guy I had been so rude to at a shopping store was my employer? I can't even look at him. I just can't handle this.

I couldn't wait to leave. Miss Rose came to meet me to ask if I had met Dylan. Well I wish I could unmeet him.

As I came down the bus and walked home, I still couldn't get what just happened off of my mind. This has got to be the worst day of my life and the most embarrassing.

I stood at the door to hear the loud noise coming from inside. I could hear Louise's voice and someone else's.

"I'm going to call the police if you don't get out of here!" After that I heard her screaming. I forced the door open and went in to see Peter standing over Louise on the couch throwing punches at her.

"Hey!!" I yelled but he didn't stop. Without thinking twice I picked up the flower vase and smashed it on the back of his head.

"Aah!!" He screamed and turned to face me and I stood up to him.

"You..." He growled.

"Get the hell out of here right now, Peter or when you do you won't be doing so with your own legs." As I said so, I was holding up a chair with which I could break his head open.

Still rubbing his head, he head for the door.

"Fuck you! Fuck you and your bitchy sis." He turned to Louise. "You never gonna see me here and if you do, know that you're done." He hurried to open the door.

"And don't let me get you walking alone, Nelly!" He slammed the door and I hurried to meet Louise who was now sitting up and crying.

"Are you alright?" I asked sitting beside her and she nodded slowly. "What just happened? What the hell was all that about?"

Louise wiped her nose and dried the tears of her face with the tissue paper I ha fed her.

"I... I told him I was carrying his baby."

"I thought we said we would not tell him yet?"

"I know. He seemed In his best behavior when he came and I thought it was the right moment to tell him. He said he didn't believe me and that I was sleeping around with someone else and wanted to pin it on him. I was angry and yelled at him and he... "

She held her head and started crying.

"So what are you planning to do now... With the baby?"

"I'm keeping it, Nelly, I'm keeping it and I'm going to do so without Peter. I'll have and raise this child on my own and make sure Peter doesn't know nothing about it." She holds her head and starts sobbing again.

I sighed. Again I thought of what my day had been like meeting with Dylan. I shut my eyes at the remembrance of it. Things were getting messy pretty much again.

Going to work had become a serious challenge for me since I'll have to see Dylan almost every time. He kept his face straight while I did my job. He didn't hide how uncomfortable he wanted to make me feel and I knew this was going to be his way of getting back at me.

I got into the compound in the afternoon and met him sitting at the terrace. Rudy was sleeping on the floor beside his chair.

"Why are you coming by this time?" Without looking up at me, he asked immediately I got up the terrace.

"This is the usual time I have been coming."

"I know that. What I don't know is why." He looked up at me.

"That was the agreement I came to before I started working. Since you liked to be with Rudy yourself for the morning, I only have to come in the afternoon."

"Still on the same pay?" He scuffed ridiculously and turned back to the lawn. "Only Lewis would make such a ridiculous and unprofessional proposal."

I frowned my face and barged in. I got into the kitchen to get Rudy's lunch and met Midd Rose cooking.

"I'm going to have to quit this job real soon!" I yelled.

"Don't say such, child?" She said calmly and handed me a cup of warm tea.

"You and Dylan don't get along well, I see. It seems you two have a bad history together."

I leaned on the table and sighed. "Something like it." I shut my eyes. "He's just some pampered and spoiled brat." I sipped my tea.

"I have worked for Dylan since he was a little boy. His parents are the most business minded people I ever Know so I pretty much raised him. He got more gifts and present than parental affection. He could be pissed attimes but he is a really sweet boy. You should try getting along with him. Try to be nice and maybe get him to talk. You'll see." She chuckled and went back to stiring her burning soup.

That moment, I looked out through the window and saw Dylan now standing. He had that expressionless face of his tightly turned towards the sky. I failed to see the handsomeness Misd Rose was always talking about him. Maybe because I despised him. He had a well groomed curly brown hair. He had a straight face and conniving blue eyes that looked innocent though. He wasn't a very tall guy. With his usual cargo shorts on, he had his headphone around his neck. He was such a hotheaded arrogant punk and I doubt if I ever dispised someone the way I did him. I hated peter but this guy, he held onto things too much and I'd stab him if I get the chance.
