Chương 2: Wave of change
A dead awkward quietness swallowed the ambience, not even a fly can be heard, our restful mood didn't last for a long term, right before I finish cleaning, a loud noise of a door being slammed open breaks the peaceful boredom we were having. It was a mature male voice yelling Damien's name, then for sure this would to be one of his friends, I turned around to face him. He was a tall green haired man, but maybe shorter than Damien and fair skinned. He's got also sparkling sky blue eyes that were right fixed on mine. A strange feeling took me over, unlike Damien with his spine-chilling, serious and sinister looks, his gaze....made me feel safe and relaxed for some peculiar reasons, I can't deny the fact he's got such a friendly aura.
The young man tilted his head a bit, and raised an eyebrow giving me a strange look."You're new here....Are you his new lover?" he asked. "A new lover? Was he in a relationship before...? » I thought, if my mind serves me well, I'm sure I saw him wearing a silver ring....I wonder if it's just some normal ring or a wedding one. I just realized how much I think about some silly stuff; such affairs have nothing to do with me! I've got lost in thoughts for a second, and then I quickly snapped out of it, as I replied: "No, I'm just a maid here, sir...» This was so humiliating for me.....There was some footsteps coming from stairs of someone approaching near; it was Damien greeting his friend.
-"Ah! Antony, I wasn't expecting you'll come over over so early."
-"Oh hello Damien, so you got a new maid huh~?"
He pronounced this sentence with a wide smirk traced on his face, giving me a side look, he then moved towards me, exploring me then asked: "What's your name, young lady~?". I kept my eyes fixed on the floor as I replied: "M-My name is Ann Mia, sir. ». He was staring right at me, rolling me with his eyes up and down, from the top of my head to my tippy toes. Meanwhile, Damien was just standing there, watching and slightly glaring at Antony. I can tell that he clearly noticed Damien's warning, but although he carried on.
"Ann...Hm....What a beautiful name for a gorgeous lady like you~"he said. At these words, I couldn't help but blush, my reaction was so obvious that even Damien sensed my umcomfortableness, this time he made his move and stopped him. Then he spoke to Antony:"Enough now. I need your help to get rid of the presents". Now, I knew I shouldn't be here, I just stood there like an idiot rumbling random questions and thoughts until I get an order, then Damien walked up to me and said:"You have two choices, you can stay here with us tonight or, go back to your home until tomorrow". Of course I'd chose to go home, though it's far away but what can I do? I've got no trust in those two, so I packed up my stuff and waved at them. Damien just nodded with a slight smile while Antony winked at me and said: "See you tomorrow, Ann~".
I left the house and went straight to my home, the sky was already getting darkened as the sun goes down, street lights and buildings were all shining so bright, but there was hardly anyone around. I opened the door and got in, I was too lazy at the same time tired to change my clothes, so I just went to my room and lied my body down, as sleepness took me over.
Next morning, nearly half past nine in the morning, I was already on my way to Damien's villa, the weather wasn't as sunny as yesterday, most likely cloudy and the sky-blue is now all grey, a perfect depressing weather. I arrived to the front door of the villa and knocked on it. No one opened, did I arrive too soon? Is Damien still asleep? Did I bother him? Suddenly, it opened.
-"Oh, Ann! I wasn't aware you'd come so soon" he said, with welcoming expressions.
-"Good morning Damien and, I'm sorry, did I bother you?"
-"Of course not, I was already awake, come on, get in".
Damien then moved aside as I come inside, he was cleaning a white small carpet that has some red stains, I asked him to get charge of it but he declined and said with a warm smile:"Thank you so much, but there's no need, we just had a small party yesterday and we spilled a bit, plus it's only fair that I help, it's my house after all. By the way, here you go." He then handed me some money, about 40 dollars.
I smiled gratefully and thanked him, then placed the money in my pocket.
-"Just like yesterday, only some cleaning. Oh! And if Antony made you feel uncomfortable again, let me know, okay?
-"Alright. Have you had your breakfast yet? If not, I can go prepare it for you"
-"There's no need, I ain't hungry, but thank you anyway."
-"Fine. Is there anything I can do?
-"Uh...there's some spilled...juice upstairs, can you go clean it?"He said it with a slight anxious tone.
"Yes, Damien. I'll head off now." I bowed to him, then went upstairs.
There was a red puddles on floor, I pulled out a piece of cloth and began wiping it, strangely it was thicker than just a juice could it be wine? But it doesn't smell like....I just shrugged of my thoughts, not even caring about what could this liquid be, I made sure to clean the zone carefully and keep it bright. Once I finished, I stood up making sure I haven't left any stain, unwary of the shadow in front of me and the silhouette behind me, until I felt a sudden pain, aching agony on my back.
