I Dare you Maya!

Maya's POV. 

Ugh! No one had pissed her off this bad in a very long time, she was very forgiving and never took things personal but that boss of hers sure knows how to tamper with her buttons. Dust? She didn't clean them well when she clearly did!

What sort of man is he? She's not a machine that she would be cleaning morning and afternoon in that huge house. She's trying her best and staying out of his way as much as she can, but because they live in the same house they're bound to cross paths. Can't he just make her life a little more easier? 

Yes, she was a million times thankful he had offered her his food to eat, but wasn't he taking it out in her pay? Wait a minute, she told him she's gonna be his maid for the meantime as a way of repaying him for saving her that night, so why on Earth is he still paying her?

And then again, does he even work? She's never seen him dress to go to work before, like how she usually sees men passing around with some corporate wears and a case, hopping inside their cars. She's not that dumb, she knows they're heading to work. 

Just then, someone approached her. She acted as if she hadn't noticed his presence, till he stood before her. Why do all men that talk to her always have this aura that made her want to take off screaming? When she looked up, she recognized who it was. 

Another one of the men she had seen, the one with strikingly blue eyes. He was tall, and looked very muscular, and he had some freckles over his nose. It gave him a cute look. 

"Any... problem?" She asked softly. She looked around, and there were people walking around the street. Good, even if he wanted to hurt her she would just scream and people would gather. 

What he did next wasn't what she had been expecting. The man smiled widely, his blue eyes which had once been empty was shimmering and twinkling with excitement "FYI, you're my hero!" He quickly sat down beside her. 

Okay, what on Earth is going on? Why can't anyone around her be normal!

Well, except Christopher he is perfectly normal to her. But the other men she had spoken to so far, they were all creepy, weird, dangerous, dangerous, and dangerous again. 

"What do you mean?" I gave him a nervous smile. 

He didn't reply, he just kept smiling silly. Okay, this is weird. 

"Hi, I'm Zayn Ronald. Someone Levi knows" he finally spoke, waving at me. 

"Hello. I am.." 

" Maya Hart. Levi's one and only...maid" He smirked as he said the last word, shaking his head like it was something unbelievable. Suddenly, the guy burst into laughter, holding his chest as he chuckled loudly. This is getting much more weird. 

"Ha. You make it sound like I'm lying" I was now rubbing my hands against my laps. I seriously don't know why I'm doing that, all this men make me so nervous, and it would be better if he was about ten feet away from me. 

"No, I know you're not Maya. I'm just so proud of you" 

Proud of me? Well that's a new one"For what?" 

"For being who you're" Then he lowered his voice to a whisper, the smile still on his face " For talking back at your boss. I'm so proud!" He beamed. 

"Isn't that supposed to be bad?" I whispered back. Why are we even whispering? No one can hear us. 

"It is, and you're surely gonna regret it. But it's actually funny, and it's a first time so I'm proud..." 

"Regret?" I know I had a bad feeling about what I had done " What regret? Did boss send you here?" 

"Yes he did. He said to bring you back to him right away. I just decided to have a little chit chat with you Maya" 

"Then what am I gonna regret?" 

His eyes suddenly turned into a darker shade, and the smile vanished from his face replacing with an incredibly poker face. He no longer showed no emotions " Let's go back, and you'll find out Maya" 

I swallowed hard. 

.

Maya walked back to the house, her legs shaking. Zayn had parted with her right at the gate, and the nervousness multipled a thousand times as she managed to reach the door into the main house. She kept replaying Zayn's words in her head, and Everytime she did a chill would run up her spine. 

Levi was gonna make her regret talking back at him, but it wasn't her fault. He kept saying things he shouldn't, and behaving like a total big annoying baby! 

She's gonna walk in there, but she won't let him touch her. She did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve any of this. But her mind won't listen to her, and kept saying it wouldn't be alright. She took a very deep breath, before stepping inside the house. 

The entire house was dark, and she couldn't see anything. Who had turned off the lights? Wait, is this the punishment? Was he gonna do something to her while she wasn't able to see? No no no, she quickly started Tracing the walls, heading towards the direction of the switch. If he was also here in the parlor, then she was gonna tiptoe around the wall without making a single sound, till she comes across the switch and turn it on. 

She was doing as she had planned. She was very sure she made absolutely no noise, but then she heard footsteps in the parlor. Immediately she glued herself even more to the wall covering her mouth with her palm. She knew he was the one become of the sudden heat wave, and she began to pray he wouldn't notice her, or see her. 

Suddenly, the footsteps halted, and everywhere was quiet again. 

Till she felt hot everywhere, and her senses told her he was standing right next to her. She gasped when she felt his body pressing into hers, and his fingers running up and down her face leaving a trail of tingling as it went. Her breathing ceased when she felt his close to her ear, it was hot and making her melt to the wall. 

   "Welcome back" he whispered. 

His words sent a chill down her spine, and she felt her heart ready to explode from her chest. His finger never left her face even as he finally pulled back from her ear. 

How had be found her even in the dark? She had made absolutely zero sound for crying out loud. 

The heat then reduced, and she knew he had moved away from her. She was breathing once again, but it was faster than before. Fact is, he knows exactly where she is! What is he gonna do next? She found out soon. 

"Say that again" his deep voice came from the darkness.

Say what? God, she didn't wanna know the answer to that question. 

"Call me stupid Maya. I dare you!" 

Oh no, this isn't happening. He's angry, he's very very angry and her control was slipping away. This is too much for her, she was glued to the wall she couldn't even find her legs to keep moving for the light switch. 

"Can't you? Can't you call me stupid anymore?" She could feel his coming even closer, and that made her legs move as she stared walking fast away from him. 

"W...wh..what?" She was stuttering. Her throat was dry again, and her head was now hurting. He was making her very scared, and she had never really been a Friend of the darkness, she loved the light. She loved it when it was bright, it made her feel safe and secured. 

Likenothing could get to her anymore, like she could keep going. 

If the sun still shines so brightly everyday, then what's stopping her from feeling it's warmth and moving forward. 

But this man...Was definitely a friend of the dark

And he was very very bad for her. 

"Call me stupid again Maya!" 

"Why?" 

"Because It's gonna add to your punishment" he was walking faster now, and she had forgotten about her mission to turn on the lights as she took off running around the parlor, trying not to knock into anything. 

"I.. didn't do anything wrong!" She argued back.

She heard him growl in the dark " Then I dare you to call me stupid" 

This man was pushing her buttons again. He was! Ugh, what does she do? 

"Should I really call you that again? You don't seem to like it" She said, running again when she felt he was close to her again. 

"I don't? How do you know that?" 

"Because you're angry, and it's dark. And those are among two of the three things I hate most in this world. And now you're planning to punish me!" 

"Oh yes I am" she was sprinting again, but she must have miscalculated because he was actually standing in front of her as she ran into his hard body. She gasped loudly, as she fell backwards but he grabbed her hand, and immediately he started pulling her as he walked to God knows where!

"Let go of me!" She tried to rip his hands off her, but his grip was... unbreakable.
