"If you go to war...I'm going with you, I won't leave you and that's the truth..." She held his hand. "People that care should matter to you...not those that don't care"

Denise looked into her eyes, a burning desire flared up in him and he moved closer to kiss Melanie...their tongues meeting each other...he made her lie down as he pulled open her robe slowly. Melanie had never shown any guy her naked body..

But with Mr Carson it was different, she was ready to do it with him...she wanted him to be her first...she enjoyed how her body vibrated to his touch. He kissed her everywhere her hands, legs and breasts... giving her love bites on her neck he realized that he was fully turned on. He had planned for it all along as he brought out the CD's in his pocket and taking of his shorts he wore them...she seemed nervous.

"This is my first time.."

He kissed her talking lips..."I will be gentle"

He breathed...his hardness slowly entering her, Thrusting upward over and over. While they gasped. Finally after a while their was a wave of satisfaction. He lay by her side and she hugged him tightly. Then they both fell asleep. There and then.

MELANIE WALTERS POV:

I had woken up from my hard bed, at about 6:30am arranging my ruffled hair.

.I rushed past my annoying Elder brother Michael who seemed to be busy in the kitchen.

"Its still early and here you are making my kitchen look unfit for human use" I scolded. He laughed at what I knew wasn't funny at all.

"Melanie...I paid for all this, this is my house remember?. Let's not personalize the whole thing"

I scoffed "Your house indeed...talk about personalizing" Pretending to ignore me he went straight to the living room

"what's for breakfast sis"

My little brother Kyrmen asked as he entered the kitchen, his dark eyes looking drowsy, he was just Ten years old but looked like a fourteen year old teenager.

It ran in our blood I guess, The looking older than our age stuff

"Have you brushed your teeth?.. here you are asking me for breakfast" he forced a smile "Fine I'll brush".

I was like the mother of the house, I loved my brothers so much I guess that's why I was able to keep them together even when my parents had died a long time ago.

We all lived in various hardships, been maltreated by many of our aunts and uncles who felt we were burdens. But Michael and I worked hard and even got enough money to rent up a house.

When my parents died in a ghastly car accident, I remember feeling like all was lost...I Lost my faith in the universe, I felt Terrible and I also wanted to join my parents where ever they were but the strength from Michael and his will to move on gave me the strength to move forward against all odds. Some times I wonder if my brothers would ever survive without me, because I knew that I wouldn't survive if they ever got hurt.

Now the big issue today was my job interview at about 9am. I had applied for a maid job at one of the biggest mansions in Grundy, I needed to get this job because over here in Grundy it seemed really hard to get a reasonable job Even at the age of 18..

The mansion was big and beautiful, I felt like I had entered a castle, There were fields and Orchards even a garden too. "Good morning" I greeted one of the guards who looked a bit approachable, he stared at me in acknowledgement "Who?"

"My name is Melanie...I came here for the job interview"

At first he looked confused but later he nodded "oh the interview.."

I was ushered in by one of the maids in the mansion, she seemed pretty nice and way older than I was "Please remain here in the courtyard...Mr. Carson would be with you shortly" She made me sit down on a brown colored chair.

But a certain curiosity rushed in" Madam" I asked "why isn't the head maid interviewing me....why should the owner do so" She smiled "Well over here it's Carson's choice or none....you would understand...if you do get the job" she ended looking at me from my head to toe.

I felt a little scared, the house, the maids even the chair I sat on intimidated me. I started to feel suffocated...this usually happened whenever I got nervous.

Few minutes later I heard footsteps behind me...I wanted to turn to see who it was but on second thought I faced forward. My eyes were still on the floor So I could only see his shoes and I could tell he was wearing a suit, his cologne filling my breathing space. And To make things dramatic a little I raised my eyes slowly to look at him. Suddenly my eyes got locked to his but I quickly unlocked it...my hands started sweating...I looked up again as he stretched out his hands to collect my resume but I didn't look directly at him

" Melanie Walters?"

I heard my name coming out from his mouth and for the first time and I liked how my name sounded in his voice, I blushed a little "yes....yes sir"

"You have an impressive resume, you really enjoy having house jobs"

I felt like he was mocking me..

"it's not like I enjoy it sir...that's what I am good at, so I do it"

He sighed then said almost in surprise" You are eighteen?"

I smiled inwardly. I was used to people being surprised, because I looked way too mature for my age.

"Yes sir..."

He stood up...and handed me my resume, I became scared and looked at him as he stood over me, suddenly I realized that I was staring at him for the first time,

His eyes were light brown, he had a cleaned shaved face...and his hair seemed combed all through and shiny. He had small beautiful but mean eyes and the perfect lips for a man in his late twenties, and was handsomely fair. I almost lost myself before I realized that I might actually not get the job.

"Sir....it's something wrong". He shook his head in disapproval.

"Teenagers have a lot of excuses...you know?"

He replied suddenly looking away and placing his hands in his pockets. He said teenagers like I was a certain 14 year old trying to get a job.

"No sir am not like other teenagers...I am very responsible...If I wasn't I would have lied about my age and gotten here...but I can prove to you how reliable and hardworking I can be..." He suddenly cut me short

"Fine you are hired but...you will be on probation for two weeks, if you prove to be worthless, you would be terminated immediately" Thank gracious.

I became happy "Thanks a lot sir I won't let you down"

He waved his hand "Go to the next room, Esther would brief you on what and when to start.

*

That night I told Kyrmen about My work, The buildings and all the beautiful things I saw in the Carson's Mansion...

"How much would you be paid? "he asked as he packed his school books

"About 10 dollars a day....that's if I work diligently....any mistake would be deducted from my pay check"

I saw him smiling "Soo you are indirectly telling me...to make sure I don't make you go late for work or hinder you in anyway right?" I grabbed his neck in our usual playful manner "you little brat when did you learn to speak like an old man".

The Next day I got early for work, When my Maid uniform was handed over to me by Miss Esther, I felt slightly uncomfortable as it seemed a little above my Knee.

"Melanie, I want to introduce you to other workers " Miss Esther said to me as she took me to the hall way leading to the main living room.

At first I was surprised to see all the maids and workers lined up in the hall, I kept wondering if they arranged their selves in that order because of me.

Looking a bit nervous I asked Miss Esther why they were there..."It's our daily roll call.... Boss Carson's orders" with a sigh of relief I joined her.

Obviously all eyes turned to me, I was still contemplating if their eyes were on my gown or on Me. I was introduced and we all changed pleasantries, later I joined them to stand in line.

They were all Nice though, but After awhile I realized I was the youngest person in the room.

He descended the stairs shortly after, wearing a normal blue long sleeve shirt, with a Jean jacket and a Jean trouser, his hair was still as thoroughly gelled and shiny as before,he looked pretty casual cause he didn't exactly close up all his buttons, he arranged the Collar of his shirt as he approached us.

They all greeted him in utmost respect and I almost bit my tongue trying to join in.

"Can't you greet...Miss Walters" He asked rudely.

His eyes were on the floor, I wondered how exactly did he saw me not greeting, I swallowed "Goodmor.... Morning Sir Carson"

He ignored, and proceeded to what ever he was about to say

" In one week time...I would be Throwing a welcome Party For My sister, as you all know, I do not tolerate Mistakes, I want it to be the best party. Exactly as I detailed it to be, I expect by now that you all know the kinds of things to cook, the things my Mira is allergic to and Soo on ...And am telling you all this because I expect the planning to start Now!"

Mrs. Esther rose her hand to say something

"Sir please if I may?" She asked and He cut her off immediately. " wait till am done Esther..." This gesture from him really pissed me off, Miss Esther was the oldest maid and Old enough to be his Mother, How rude, I scoffed silently, hoping that no one heard me.

The Annoying boss

Episode 2

MELANIE WALTER'S POV

• * * * * * *

When he was done with his boring talk, Miss Esther was finally allowed to speak "Permit me to ask , Sir but Who would design Miss Mira's room...The last time she came back she complained that she didn't like the Room."

Mr. Carson thought for awhile and spoke

"as a teenager she would like to be in a room that's more acceptable to she and her friends, does any of you have any ideas on how to design a teenage girl's room"

I was a bit distracted and confused at How a person could be too picky when staying in her room, that I didn't realized that everyone's eyes were on me.

"Mrs. Walters...could you perhaps have any idea on how to design a teenage girl's room?"

I stared at Him in surprise and turned to stare at the others who were looking at me expectantly.

I guess I was under so much pressure because I had said "Yes"

The room was plain white, waiting for some interior designer which of course I was not, it really made me feel scared, How old was this Mira girl I thought, I needed just the right details before I could start. So I took a writing pad and pen and moved straight to Mr. Carson's Home office which was shown to me by Miss Esther and I knocked, My heart pounding out of Timidity.

I heard him tell me to come in so I did. His Office was a really huge one, it was exactly the size of my living room and bedroom put together, but it had a full brown wooden colored paint on his walls and he had a lot of books on his shelf's too. I stared at him as he sat behind his desk staring seriously at his Laptop.

"What do you want. Miss Walters?"

He asked not looking up at me.

I Swallowed "Sir...you see in other to give your sister the room that she deserves I was thinking that maybe getting to know her likes and dislikes would contribute a lot."

He finally Stopped what he was doing and stared at me "Okay...what would you like to know?"

"What could her favorite color be?, Her favorite musicians for stickers, and what color of designs for the bedsheets" I looked at him as he lowered his eyes slowly, That's was when I realized that he didn't really know his sister's likes and because of me he might be feeling ashamed of that fact, So

Trying to sound heroic, I suggested immediately "Sir why don't you call her...and ask?" He immediately looked at me in a disgusted manner "Did you....just suggest something to me without my permission?"

I became alarmed, Am eighteen years old and this was the first time in eighteen years, I was hearing that in other to suggest something we actually had to ask for a permit. Wow, this is the definition of absurd, this guy could be in his late twenties, so why does he think so highly of himself, did he expect me to be another miss Esther, sir...if I may. Indeed!, I swallowed.

"im sorry sir.....Um sir if I may.. could I SUGGEST that you call your sister and ask Her about the things I mentioned earlier"

I couldn't believe that I had just said that, I was about to Blink before I saw him stand, I kept wondering why he stood up. He took off his jacket and hanged it on his chair then he charged towards me. I didn't dare to Move at all, for some reason I stood where I was, my eyes totally transfixed to his. When he came close enough for me to perceive his cologne, he put both his hands in his pockets and looked at me from head to toe "Why do I feel like....there was a little bit of attitude in the things you said"

I realized that I was sweaty "oh...no sir" I giggled nervously, which seemed stupid to me "I was just telling you plainly...No hard feelings" I realized later that I wasn't supposed to say that "Excuse me?" he shouted

I got really scared as his eyes pierced through mine "I'm...so sorry sir, I..." He Looked annoyed "Who gave you the right to have hard feelings?"

I was shaken at the question "I'm So sorry sir, I didn't mean to say that" "well" he replied "there are certain Terminologies you should use in this House, Now I think you should be acquainted with them...If you would survive here for two weeks, you have to remember that Respecting me, is the way to my heart"

I thought within me, Fear, why does he mistake it with Respect...give me a break, Does he think that he is a god or something, what kind of person belittles others and still demands respect from them, gosh what have I gotten my self into, if I lived with this kind of person for a day I guess I would run mad.

After a long stare

He finally let me go, and ordered me to start cleaning the room first, Before I could do anything else, I washed and scrubbed and made sure the Bathroom was Clean for any use. Obviously exhausted I went to the Kitchen To get some food. "You have to excuse Mr. Carson.." Miss Esther said to me.

I almost choked on the bread I was eating. "But you are old enough to be his Mother...what gave him the right to....?" She stopped me immediately. "Do not say that ... Melanie...His My boss and He is the reason my family and I still survive...so dear do not read to much meaning from whatever he does"

I wasn't convinced, I still stood on the grounds that he ought to treat her with respect. But one look in Miss Esther's eyes one would know that she was indebted to Mr. Carson and Maybe she would forever be.

When I got home, I lay down on my bed thinking of various designs I could use in Mira's room. Slowly sleep crept in and I saw Mr. Carson flash before me. Then everything went blank.

The lipstick mistake

Episode 3

MELANIE WALTER'S POV

The next day He Came into the room, while I was embroidering the pillow cases. Without Looking at me he spilled out "She's a Fan of the singer Sia, her favorite color is Red, She loves animal skin designs, I don't really know how that will help, and she prefers a curtain over her bed" after speaking, he turned to go.

I was grateful for the Info, but I didn't really get the whole gist of it. As he left the room, I raced after him "Hold on sir" I rushed bumping into him as he stopped abruptly.

My face hitting his Back, as he turned slowly I realized that my Lipstick was now on his suit. My tongue immediately went arid. He is not going to like this, but I was too scared to tell him.

"What's wrong Miss Walters? Can't you look before leaping?" He asked finally turning to face me. I shuttered "I...umm .sir...." He stared at me blankly still expecting me to talk. "Sir...umm you were too fast when you Mentioned your sisters likes and dislikes, I wasn't with My writing Pad" He eyed me from head to toe." I guess you Are a dull kid" shaking his head he snatched my writing pad from my arms and Jotted down. I became angry. Dull kid...Did he just call me a dull person?....Did he just call me a kid?. I grimaced long enough for him to see me. Handing me back my jotter he regarded me sternly" Any problem Miss Walters?"

I wanted to shout at him, Does he always have to bully his Maids, doesn't even have manners I wanted to ask him if he was ever trained. He lacked respect For women like me. What an..A......"No sir.." I turned and moved back to the Room.

When I was done with the Embroidery designs I wrote down a list of things needed for the room. Going downstairs I met Miss Esther in the kitchen. We were not really close, because she rarely talked to me, although she seemed more approachable than most of the maids. I guess my Job with the room. Had Somehow separated me from others. " Miss Esther.."

She was making two cups of Coffee, "yes dear" she smiled while I dropped the list on the Table "Here are the lists of things I would, Need for Miss Mira's Room."

She hurried, suddenly remembering something. "Good timing, here" handing me the tray with the cups of Coffee she rushed out while speaking to me."Take this along with the list, just drop it on the table close to the Sofa in Mr. Carson's office." I wanted to object, but before I could say anything she rushed outside.

Climbing the stairs to go to his room seemed horrid to me, I didn't want to see him again, oh His suit, I knew I would be dead meat if he found out.

When I approached the door, I heard another voice behind the door. "wow... Denise, you have a girlfriend and you didn't tell me".

I heard footsteps and immediately I knew it was Mr. Carson's "What are you saying give me that.."

The other male voice laughed loudly "If I'm correct that's a visible Lipstick... caught you red handed"

I became sweaty, Oh No what if he recalled. I decided to rush in, drop the coffee and the list and go out.

Taking all the courage in Me I Knocked. When I was permitted to come in I did as planned. But then...

"Miss Walters!" I heard him screaming my Surname like a Military General would. I turned and lowered my head "yes sir".

"What concept of serve us Coffee do you not understand? Did that table ask for the Coffee or Did we?"

I mumbled Picking the cup and handing it to his friend "I'm sorry sir". Giving him his cup. I turned to leave. Shutting the door I heard his friend say "Denise....you got to have a better attitude when it comes to your maids...C'mon"

I went straight to Mira's room, Obviously panicking, I was on probation and I couldn't even last for three good days. I Needed this Job, For Kyrmen and to save up for college. Kneeling down beside the edge of the bed I laid my head Not knowing that I fell asleep.

I saw my self, in a Smoky hall, and I seemed to be choking and coughing, this alcoholic smell filled my nostrils and I was not able to breathe properly. It was too harsh, I recalled that I never craved for air like i did in that hall. Out of shock I woke up. There was a Figure before me, that seemed blurry to my sleepy eyes, Cleaning them I looked up slowly Only to see Mr Carson standing before Me.

He stared at me sternly, I stood up apologizing. I felt so embarrassed "Miss Walters...you seem to be getting too comfortable.." I cut him short immediately" please sir it's not like that, I didn't mean to fall asleep...I" He moved towards me slowly, in his Intimidating manner.

"Who asked you to talk?"

I lowered my eyes, "you shouldn't talk unless I ask you to, make sure you get that!"

I Nodded. He showed me the list," I would be going with you."

My heart skipped, But why?, Why would he want to join me to buy those things, I could go with Miss Esther if he doesn't trust me, This was So frustrating." Okay sir".

I was waiting for him by the Car with his Driver Samuel." Are you Melanie?" He asked and I smiled "yes" He nodded "Am Samuel...bosses driver" I started "How long have you been, working here?" He smiled "well since I was a little boy" I wondered, He and Sir Carson looked roughly the same age, so I guess he worked for his parents too. "Why do you ask?" He said as he wore his cap.

"Well...your boss seems So annoyingly grumpy"

He laughed, "oh no...do not misunderstand him...that's just how he Normally behaves"

"Normally??....gosh it's a miracle that you all survive here"

Sam smiled "You are really funny... actually.. when we adjusted to his behaviors, we got used to him"

I scoffed, getting used to that Man is suicide for me.

It took awhile before I could realize that he was at My back the whole time or Maybe Not too long ago. "Miss Walters...I don't pay you to gossip"

I stupidly apologized "I am sorry sir.." He dressed Casually A blue short sleeve shirt and some colorful joggers, kind of too hot for his Cold and Annoying personality.

"What are you staring at?" He asked me. Finally recovering myself I replied "Nothing sir".

He stayed at the back of the car, While I stayed in front with Sam. When we got to the first sticker store, I went in to Buy some, while they waited for me.

"I don't know why, he would join me in the first place if he wasn't going to tag along....anyway Good riddance I rather not have him, spreading his negative aura around me."

A woman kept staring at me, and it slowly dawned on me that I had been talking out loud to my self, embarrassed I rushed to the counter. On my way out I bumped into a little boy.

"Sorry miss..I ....."

"Kyrmen!!!"

He stared at me tearfully and Ran away. What was he doing here, why wasn't he in school?.

I was so disturbed, I would have taken a day off, but Mr Carson's scary personality booed me.

"I bought some Red bedsheets and curtains sir...I just need to get a rug an animal designed rug".

He kept staring at his phone without looking at me, Sam Nodded and I got into the car feeling stupid. When we got to the rug store, he got down too. "Mr.. Carson...I can handle..." I tried to dissuade him. "Miss Walters, Do you have a problem with me choosing a rug for myself?"

I blinked "No sir....I.."

"Then mind your business!"

I nodded my frightened head. Gosh why does he have to yell to make a point. I hated how he made me whimper like a puppy.

We got in together, Everyone seemed to be greeting him and smiling in Reverence of him. He seemed to be popular over there. I had Chosen a Golden colored rug with a tiger design on it. Well he picked a dull brown colored rug which to his request was simple.

He paid for all and asked for it to be delivered by tomorrow. As we got to the Exit door of the Store I remembered Kyrmen. I kept wondering why he wasn't in school. Well my deep thoughts put me in trouble. I felt a slight tap on my back. Coming back I turned to see my obviously furious Boss glaring at me. "How dare you ignore me! I have been talking to you for over a minute. " I am sorry sir.." I felt Sad, we already got to the car, so he grabbed my Arm, and pulled me close enough to Feel his face

"When we get Home, you will have wash the suit you ruined...." Letting go of me, he got into the car and banged the door. I almost cried

Can this day get any worse?...

Shutting my eyes for a second I realized that, the smell that choked me in my Dream. Was his cologne.
