Chapter 6: The Rat II

NATALIA

I WOKE UP EARLY THAN USUAL TODAY.

Besides, my dream was so good that I woke up feeling amazed. I'm feeling extra happy today, so when I looked at what time it was, I was surprised that it was still around six in the morning.

Wow! Ever since I graduated from architecture, this is the only time I got up so early, as far as I remember. I feel so good due to waking up this early.

I got up while humming random songs. I quickly checked my phone's notifications on Watty to see if there was an update from my favorite story, "Probinsyana" but there was none. Perhaps on Saturday, the author will update again. The recent bonus chapter was the reason why I had a good night's sleep.

With that in mind, I suddenly felt hot and needed a quick shower. Last night, I dreamed of meeting and doing dirty things with someone I really like. Angelina Jolie, to be exact. I felt hot merely thinking of the dream again.

So I got up quickly and showered. I just dried my hair a bit and just wore a loose white shirt that is off-shoulder on the left side, black cotton shorts, and flip-flops. When I was satisfied with what I saw in the mirror, I went downstairs.

I was early for our 7:00 a.m. scheduled breakfast with Dad, so I headed down to the kitchen because I was suddenly thirsty. I think that it's really normal that as soon as you come from the shower, you will be thirsty. There is a scientific explanation for that. I just forgot. Just ask G****e.

I walked past my four guards, Piolo, Sam, Derek, and Zanjoe, who immediately greeted me, to which I happily responded with a good morning.

The shocked expressions on their faces were obvious. I greeted them with a smile, that's why they were surprised. As I told you, I woke up on the right side of the bed today.

I started walking to my destination again, and they immediately followed me.

"Just wait for me in the dining room," I ordered them as I stopped to face them.

Even inside the WH, they kept following me. Hmph! It's a bit annoying sometimes because there's always someone tailing me wherever I go. However, I know that they are just doing their assigned duty.

The four nodded in response to me and walked to the dining room like robots.

I just sighed, but my good mood was not affected.

I continued walking to the kitchen when I passed some housemaids. I greeted them good morning with a smile on my face, and they were too stunned to even speak. I just shrugged at their reaction and went to the kitchen because I was really thirsty.

Just when I was about to enter the kitchen door, horror filled me when I saw this maid who was about to stab me.

The maid looks familiar. And based on her height, she looks like she is the one I saw yesterday who did not even bother to face me when I asked her to prepare food for us.

And look at her. Curly brown hair, brown eyes, a sharp nose, a smooth face, and red lips with a sexy body… I guess. The maid's uniform really suits her in a very good way. So sexy and seductive! And her legs, yo. Damn! Is it really a maid? Why is she so hot?

Though I was distracted by her beauty, I was more scared by the knife she was holding.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked in fear, but I stabilized my voice so that my fear would not be obvious. I tried to be as intimidating as I could be.

She was stunned and slowly lowered the knife. She averted her eyes at me, and I couldn't read her expression either. But as I can clearly see right now, God darn it, the woman is really gorgeous. She really looks familiar. It's like I saw her somewhere.

"T-there's a rat, Ma'am Nat," I heard her say.

I was a bit stunned for a moment, because how can I say that I was also stunned by her voice? Oh my god! Did I just fall for the maid? I was overwhelmed with that thought. I can't just fall for the housemaid! But what will high society think if I fall in love with the maid? Heart, why are you beating so fast?

"It's just a rat and then it’s your job to get rid of it," I began to rant. I got annoyed. It's just a rat, but the maid was acting like she would kill more than that. Then when I realized what she said…

"R-rat? Rat? Where? Where?" I squealed quickly and hugged her.

Oh.my. my god! A rat! I'm scared of rats!

Natalia Aquino's number one weakness is rats!

"Kill it. Kill it!" I shouted, ordering her while I still hugged her.

 Oh shit! I'm really scared of rats. Except for my allergy to salt water, I really don't like rats. Just merely seeing that little smelly creature makes me feel like I'm going to die.

"That's what I'm trying to do, ma'am," said the maid, who now had one hand on my waist. I squeezed myself against her chest. She is taller than I am, maybe only two inches.

I was really stunned by the beauty of her voice, but my fear of rats was more dominant, so I was still very scared. In fairness, the maid smells so good. I can feel the strength of her arm too. I feel like she can protect me anytime I need it. I am really feeling the moment. So, I came up with a good idea.

"Ratttttt... oh my god... kill it. Rattt..." I dramatically said. She really smells so good. I like being this close to her. I am just going to flirt with her a bit. My breakfast is delicious.

"Rat ... Oh no ... My God, please kill ittt..." I said artfully while snuggling closer to her. Damn, what does she smell like? It seems expensive. 

"It's at your feet, ma'am!" I heard her say and, because of that, I hugged her even tighter.

My need to be dramatic is gone. My fear of rats prevailed, but I still took advantage of smelling her and her caress. I know I am such a maniac! So what?

"Waaaahh!!! Kill it! Rat! Oh god. Kill it!" I commanded her.

I felt like she was holding back her laughter, but I'm not sure. I can't see her face. I was just guessing.

"What's going on here? Why are you screaming so loudly, Natalia?" I heard Dad say.

I didn't look back at him, but I remained crammed into the fragrant rose petal-smelling maid's chest. Shucks! It's like I want to live in her arms forever. What the hell am I thinking?

"Dad, a rat is lurking around," I said with a dramatic tone, still not letting go of the maid. She smells so good. Yes! I am sniffing her. *evil grin*

"Is that true, July?" I heard Dad say. Upon hearing the name, I turned away from the maid and looked at her.

She's who? Is she the one who I think she is?

"Uhh... yes, president. There was a rat earlier," the maid replied, then looked at me with a grin on her lips. As in a toothy grin, her pearly white teeth came into view.

Wow, she can be a model for any brand of toothpaste. And I felt my knees weaken with that smile. Wow, what's going on with me?

And again, she's what? Who is she?

"July?" I wondered.

I was still looking at the maid, who had this cute smile. I don't understand why I can't take my eyes off of her. She's just so cute. The most beautiful woman I have ever met in my entire life.

"Oh yes, sweetie. Meet Agent July Mercado. Your new lady guard," Dad said.

Then the agent smiled at me and a dimple appeared on her right cheek.

She is so pretty! As Haruka said, she really looks like the younger version of Angelina Jolie!

I was stunned for a moment.

But why do I feel this way? Why do I seem to be hypnotized by her brown eyes? I couldn't understand myself. I felt as if I had swallowed my tongue and couldn't speak.

Just when I'm about to talk, Haruka and Sofia suddenly appear.

"Hi, Tito, Nat, and oh wow... July baby? Why are you in a maid's uniform?" The flirty Haruka was quick to wrap around July's arm.

‘Snake! You’re a snake!’ My brain shouted, glaring deathly at the flirt, Haruring.

"Uhm, this is just my cover," the agent said cutely.

Shucks! They are flirting in front of me!

"Is that so? Nice! By the way, why didn't you call me? I gave you my number, right?" Haruka asked, still clinging like a lizard to the agent.

The two seemed to have forgotten that we were there too. Haruka is so annoying, she stole the scene from me. The agent is also flirting with Haruka!

‘Why are you so affected?’ Shut up, brain!

The agent cutely scratched her neck and was ready to speak when someone interrupted. I was not aware that I was killing them by looking at them with a frightful look.

"Breakfast is ready!" Kakay announced.

I looked at the two first with another bad look and stormed off to go to the dining room.
