My heart, my all

SKYLAR

A dark and rainy night, screams in the dark.

"Don't" I whimpered.

It was to late, I hear him pull the trigger, I rushed but I couldn't reach her, she fell down the Cliff.

It was like time stopped, my heart stopped.

I fell down on my knees.

The masked men had taken to their heels.

I couldn't breathe, it was raining heavily, I was shaking whispering her name.

I couldn't live without rose, she was my everything.

I closed my eyes, I wanted to die.

That was the only way I could be reunited with my beloved.

I closed my eyes, as tears trickled freely.

As the rain poured over me.

Wishing it to be over, I heard footsteps, sounds, screams, my name, but I was too weak to respond, I was lost.......

That was it! How my nightmare started...

That was the beginning of it all !

It ended with a new chapter and began with another.......!

Daisy's pov

I woke up trembling, still the same nightmare.

Always seeing myself falling from a huge Cliff.

I had this pain in my chest,it felt like someone out there was missing me ...

Someone out there was trying to reach out to me.

The dream was always so scary, always so vivid.

I checked the time and,

"Fuck! I was late for my interview.

I jumped up , freshened up and dressed up.

" Daisy?

"Yes mom" I said, walking towards her , giving her a big hug.

"Good luck with your interview"

"Thanks mom" I blew her a kiss, and walked out

Soon I was standing in front of the biggest mansion in town.

Vegas mansion.

They needed a cleaner, and half of the city would be applying!

From stories I've heard,they were all billionaires,four sons,living with their grand ma.

Their parents were in the states, going on vacations and enjoying themselves.

Wild stories escalated around town, about the Vegas mansion.

They were rarely seen, and minded their business, people saw them as arrogant, rude and carried weird rumours around them.

Breathing in and out,I ranged the door bell.

It opened automatically, and I walked in.

It was dazzling, and magnificent, smelt of royalty.

It was heaven on Earth!

Saw a long queue of contestants.

I wouldn't stand a chance,I was not worried tho.

It wasn't really important,I just needed something to keep me preoccupied.

Standing there, almost five candidates have been disqualified.

They were still going and coming back with frowned faces.

It was obvious, none of them got the job.

I was a bit tensed when, it got to my turn, I looked at the young preety girl standing at my back.

"Could we switch places?

" No get going " she said, chewing her gum rather loudly.

I walked in a bit slowly, but all i saw was an old lady with glasses peering at her book.

" Name?

"Daisy" I replied.

When the old lady, looked up at me, her jaw dropped.

It was like she had seen a ghost, I was terrified too.

"Ma'am are... Are you alright? I asked

" Rose? She asked, her eyes welling up.

It was the most weirdest situation I have ever found myself.

"Am not Rose,am daisy" I replied.

She looked at me for a long time.

"What's wrong ma'am? I asked.

" You looked like someone I've known for a very long time" she said..

I could feel the emotion in her voice,or maybe I did imagine it.

" You are hired " she said.

" Just.. like... like that? I asked.

"Yes, so today , you are going to be learning the rules and meeting my sons" she said.

I nodded.

I found it weird,she just sent half a dozen people with better qualifications.

But chose me,cos i looked like someone she knew..

Wow great!

The rest were sent home,I had gotten the job

They sighed and grumbled amongst themselves.

The preety girl, chewing gum, especially, maybe she realized, she might have gotten a chance,if she had switch places.

Following the old lady around the big house,I was lost, admiring everything I saw.

She took me to the living room, where three guys and a lady Sat.

They saw,me and stopped whatever they were doing,they too had that shocked expression on their faces.

I was freaking out!

"Isn't she... she? One with lot of freckles and lovely curly hair spoke.

" She isn't, she's daisy" the old lady cut him off.

" She looks so much like rose" the lady said.

" She really does,I thought,I thought it was her" another with lovely eyes, and long lashes spoke.

The other guy I observed didn't say,a word,he kept looking at me from head to toe.

His gaze ,making me uncomfortable.

" This are my son's, and this is my daughter ruby" she said, tho I had earlier guessed already.

" She will be working here,as our new cleaner and maid" she added.

Ruby looked at me , like she was fascinated,I could see excitement in her eyes, while the rest of the brothers peered at me, like some sort of a ghost risen from the dead.

" Grannie? All eyes turned to see him.

Cute, teenage boy, with dyed hair,sporty clothes and ear rings.

He stopped as he saw me.

"Isn't that?.......

" It's Daisy our new house help, she happens to look like rose" ruby replied.

" Oh" he replied looking at me, with a mixture of doubt.

He was clearly the youngest of them all.

" So welcome, you can Start work tomorrow" their grannie said smiling.

I nodded, whoever Said they were five son's was spreading lies

Only four son's.

I turned to go back,I could resume work the next day.

But i tripped and crashed into him!

I had not seen him coming.

The rest gasped,at least I heard.

But I could not move my gaze from his eyes,it pierced into me, and there was no way I could look away.

It was the most cutest face,I had ever seen.

Perfect features with dazzling eyes, those eyes looking at me like the most precious thing he had ever seen.

I was lost in those eyes, for a while I forgot they were people in the room.

What was happening to me?

I was definitely loosing it....

His hands were around my waist, holding me tightly to himself.

"Rose? ...........

His hands were around my waist, holding me tightly to himself.

"Rose? ...........

" I'm not rose " I muttered.

Now fully aware, of the room and the rest of them.

I wanted his arms off me, it was so akward.

Felt so shy! But my discomfort didn't bother him one bit.

" She isn't rose , she's daisy " grannie came to my aid.

His arms left me slowly, his eyes turned cold.

" She's daisy our new house help, she just happened to look a lot like rose " grannie said.

He didn't reply,he just walked out.

Enough emotional, akward scene for one day!

"Who is rose? Who's this rose? I wanted to ask.

" I will go now" that's all I found myself saying.

Outside,I felt relieved as the cool breeze, blew...

I didn't want to think about it all.

I didn't want to remember his, eyes or the way he stared at me!

Skyler

What was I thinking?

That she was alive?

She fell from a cliff, I couldn't save her!

I took a glass of alcohol!,I tortured myself with her memories,I couldn't save her...

That girl,I thought she was her, Same eyes and everything..

Exactly her eyes,her lips her everything, she was just like rose in every aspect.

Even his hands on her waist,it felt like it was rose he was touching!

But she was not rose,it was just her lookalike.

Ever since rose left me,I was incomplete, I became Cold.

Immune to feelings.....Roseeeeee.

Daisy

My alarm ranged loudly,I sighed I had to get up.

I was up, and ready.

Looking at the mirror as I dressed up.

I did realize how beautiful I was.

It was not a new thing,I did make hair turn everywhere I go..

Lovely long black hair,my eyes,plump lips and good shape.

Was attractive,my back side big and curvy..

Had always had guys fallen head over heels for me.

But never interested in any of them.

Some sent gifts,to me or delivered to my house but it didn't get my attention.

Mom was strict!

Was only 23 ,mom still treated me like I was 18.

She was wary of boys, around me,not just boys ,strangers and cause of her fears, I didn't associate much.

I didn't get,why she was so afraid of me getting into trouble or being away from her.

It took so much persuasion to convince her, for me to start working!

I had breakfast, just tea and bread.

And made my way to the Vegas mansion.

Was there early, tidying up everything..

" Good morning grannie" I said as she came in.

" You are here early" she smiled.

"Yes" I said, she smiled at me warmly.

The rest of them came up ,I got to their names.

The one with curly hair and freckles was Chris,the one who stared and made me uncomfortable was Jake,the younger son was justin.

Chris volunteered to join me in the kitchen, he was so nice.

Very free,a bit loud, but alright.

I successfully prepared prepared breakfast of toast,bread, chicken and tea,I served them.

Thanked Chris for his help,he was smiling.

As I served them.

I noticed he wasn't here, the other guy.

"Where is he.....?

" U mean Skyler? Justin asked.

"Yes" I replied.

"Go upstairs, the last room upstairs is his" grannie replied.

"Yes ma'am" I said.

"Call me grannie" she smiled,I nodded and left.

I walked to him to his room,I knocked.

No answer.

I turned the knob and the door opened.

I didn't see anyone,so I placed the food,on his table..

And turned,he was standing right in front of me.

" What are you doing here? He asked.

"I....I came to serve you your food"

"I don't want it, take it leave, and how dare you come to my room without knocking" he yelled.

She was intimidated by him,his eyes kept piercing into hers again.

"Do you know how much this room is worth? you think you can just walk in?

He was extremely arrogant and rude

I was controlling the urge to snap at him.

Who did he think he was?

My employer's grand son,I had to be calm, didn't want to risk loosing my job on my first day.

I should just leave,was doing just that.

I had to trip into his arms again.

This was not happening, what was wrong with me?

Skyler

Not her falling into my hands again...

Those eyes reminded me so much of rose.

I felt the stabbing pains in my chest as I looked at her lips.

She was just like rose,it felt like rose and the way she was staring at me,a mixture of fear and suprise was just like rose!

What was I doing?

my arms tightened around her waist..

I couldn't stop myself...

I moved my arms to her back, her lips were so kissable.

Kiss her' the words repeated in my head.

I hated her, for making me relieve those memories with rose,I hated myself too

"Get out" I said pushing her away from me.

" I never want to see you around me"

"Leave" I yelled

She walked out, her expression, of suprise, shock and fear

I didn't care of what she thought about me.

It doesn't matter

Daisy

I went back to the kitchen.

I don't understand why he was so rude.

Why did it hurt so much.

I was close to tears, didn't know Why this was happening.

I felt bad, but In an hour time I forgot all about it.

Doing chores around the house,

Was sent to Jake's room to collect his clothes for laundry.

He looked at me,his eyes making me feel uncomfortable.

Could sense lust in them...

"Why collect my clothes? When we could pull clothes right now?

" What? I asked confused.

"You don't understand?,he said trailing his hands on my waist.

I was shocked and pushed him off..

" I can have you, and pay, you extra money" he said licking his lips.

" Stay away from me" I yelled.....

Stay away from me" I yelled.

"Well okay,no probs" he said with an amused smile.

"Was gonna change your life" he said.

"Don't need it, and never dare in your life touch me" I replied and walked out.

What was wrong with them,I wonder why people sometimes made me feel being beautiful was a crime.

I sometimes felt inseured.

Moments like this, when I was close to being harassed.

Made me feel sad.

Who the hell do this brother's think they were?

The first was already so arrogant and weird..

The second was trying to have his way with me.

I sighed, and walked to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Can I help you? I turned to see the younger boy.

" No, you shouldn't....

"I can" he replied, already settling for a towel in drying the dishes.

"Uhmm, you remind me of rose, you guys are so alike" he said rinsing already washed dishes.

"What's she like? I asked.

" Cute, very nice to be with, lovely eyes and all" he smiled.

"Ohhh " I replied.

"Yes" he replied smiling.

"What are you doing here Justin,am the one supposed to help with the dishes" Chris said.

"Am already doing so, can't you see? Justin replied.

The way they argued amongst themselves were funny.

They were very stubborn and I had to split the chores between them.

We all got along preety well,

They were nice guys.

They were more better than Jake and skylar.

They talked virtually about everything, ranging from sports to entertainment.

My working hours weren't over, so I sat with them.

Talking with them about things, entertainment and all.

Grannie came in, she joined us at the living room.

Her face lit up with a smile, when she saw we were getting along quite well.

JAKE

That girl had issues, I was willing to offer a whole lot, just to have her on my bed.

Other girls would have jumped at my offer.

Was offering her money, a whole lot and she was refusing it.

She was a bit different.

Don't get why she look so much like rose, but she was beautiful and I could get her.

I licked my lips, imagining those curvy legs spread open on my bed.

I could have her, I would!

SKYLER

I needed to clear my head, I had to move on and forget about Rose.

It's been six years, and still I can't get over her.

I sipped the chilled alcohol,loud noises in the background.

People dancing and rocking to loud music.

"Hey handsome" she said

"Hi" I replied.

Her hands went to my shirt as she explored my body with her fingers.

I grabbed her toward me, kissing her neck fiercely,as she touched my lower body.

She put her arms around my neck and drew me close for a kiss.

Memories shared with my love flooded me, I pushed her away.

I knocked over my glass in rage, no one could ever fill the void in my heart

That she created, there was no one, that could ever replace her in my heart!

I walked to my car, I was a bit drunk, but I had control over my actions and thought.

I drove home, going straight to my room, and straight to my bed.

DAISY

The next morning,I was up.

Time for work!

I had breakfast and was on my way to work.

Was there early, was keeping it a schedule to be quite early.

I tidied up the kitchen, and the living room.

Grannie was still in her room.

I walked down the stairs and located her.

She sat in her room with her glasses peering at a book.

Her room was decorated by pics of her grandchildren, from when they were toddlers to grown adult.

I just glanced at them for while and back to her.

"Good morning grannie" I said

Her smile was beautiful,her eyes always lit up when she saw me.

"How was your night? She asked.

" Fine grannie,yours? I asked.

"Very fine dearie"

"Help check up on skyler, not preety sure he ate last night" she said adjusting her glasses.

"Yes I will" I replied, knowing fully well it was a bad mission.

If only she knew how her son treated me, how he looked at me with eyes, like he wanted to tear me apart if I came close to him!

If only she knew......

I walked towards his room, and stopped at his door.

I needed to call my mom,if she didn't see me home at my usual time.

She should call the cops!

But by then I would be long gone.....

I had to stop thinking and concentrate.

I knocked,no answer, knocked till I got tired.

The door was open so I came in.

He was there on his desk, his back turned against me.

"Uhmm, I...I was sent to check on you" I said but got no answer.

Then I saw he was wearing an ear pod.

I walked close to him...

"Am talking to you.." I said.

He looked at me with his sharp gaze.

Those eyes!

He removed his ear pod,his gaze softened for a moment, could be I imagined it.

"Your grandma wanted me to check on you" I said.

"Am okay, you can leave" he said coldy.

Was about to leave when I noticed his hands.

They were bleeding.

"Ur hands? I said, taking them up in mine.

He looked at me for a while.

" I will fix it up" I said as I wrapped it up with my handkerchief.

I would look for a first aid box.

" Just get out" he said removing his arms forcefully from mine........

"I need to apply first aid...I need to"

"I don't need , your help just leave me alone" he said.

"Was just trying to help" I said.

"I don't need your help' he replied.

" I don't care if you don't" I said.

His eyes on me were so hot!
