Chapter 7: Babysitter

Babysitter 

My whole body froze in shock while my eyes were still glued on the man. It's dark and I can't clearly see his face especially when he's very tall. All I could see with all the darkness was his green emerald eyes. It was glowing beautifully in the shadows. Mysterious. Empty. And Dead.

I was taken aback when he suddenly lowered his face, leveling mine. "Who. Are. You?" He asked again, giving emphasis to each word. His deep green orbs was bewitching while it was glaring at me, observing my every move. 

I stayed silent while staring at him, fascinated by the alluring beauty he possessed. I could even clearly see now that his face was only inches away from mine. He has a strong and a chiseled jawline. Flawlessly thick eyebrows and kissable lips. There aren't enough words that I could explain how gorgeous this man in front of me is. 

Who could this beatiful man in front of me, be? And wait, people like him really does exist? All I know is that once you've met someone as gorgeous as this man, they are not from this world. Like, literally. They could be vampires or something.

At least that's what I've read from books when I was still young. 

But damn though, why can't I stop staring at him? He is just so...out of this world. Can't lie.

He raised his right eyebrow with a stoic expression on his face while still waiting for my answer.

Wait. 

What was his question a while ago? Who am I? Why? Who is he to ask me that question? He was the one who entered the mansion without knocking and now he has the guts to ask me of my identity?

How disrespectful! But wait.

Maybe he is just pretending? But the truth is, he's a thief? Or worse, a kidnapper? Then...then he'll rape—

STOP! I'm taking it too far. Whatever his motives are, I won't take him lightly. He could be one of those I've mentioned earlier. No matter how good-looking he can be, I still don't know him yet. Maybe he's using his looks as a disguise in order to lock me up somewhere while manipulating me and infiltrate the house. 

I may sound very ridiculous but what I've said is true. There are a lot of movies showing that not all beautiful people are good. They may be good outside but not on the inside. We shouldn't just judge people based on their looks, right? 

But whatever, I'll stop thinking about it and just ask him nicely before my mind goes off to somewhere far and say things that seem too over the top.

"Who are YOU?" I asked him the same question while emphasizing the last word. He furrowed his eyebrows and stood straight, giving me a 'stop-fucking-with-me' look. I crossed my arms and leveled him with the same intensity, waiting for his reply and ignoring his scary look. 

"What are you talking about? THIS is MY house." He made a 'tch' sound and rubbed his already disheveled hair. The gesture that he just did, showed that he was totally annoyed at me, as well as how he spoke to me in a cold and deadly voice.

My mind then turned blank when I've processed what he had just said.

HIS house? But I thought—

My eyes had widen when I realized that everything ate July told me was all just a lie. A freaking lie.

She has this planned right from the very start! 

She tricked me! This isn't her house but it's her little brother's house! And what's worse is that he's now standing in front of me, looking pissed. What the heck. I can't believe I fell for it. Now I'll be stuck in this hellhole, with him.

She realĺy lured me into her perfect trap! Ugh. This is going to be a very big problem for me.

I should think of some words to say right away. Carefully picking out the right words to say to avoid pissing him any further. One wrong move and he'll kill me! I still don't know what capabilities this man can do to me so I have to be really cautious.

What if he'll kill me on the spot? Punch me? Stab me with something pointy that's on his pocket? Grab me by the hair and slam my face to the floor or to the table or even to something that would really tear my face into pieces? Skin me alive? And what if he'll,

Cook me alive and/or even eat me alive? 'Erase, erase, erase!' I scolded myself and shaked my head.

I should really start thinking something normal but...what should I tell him? How should I tell him without sounding too weird and awkward? Should I tell him things like,

'Hey bruh. Just stopping by to see you' or 

'Hey soul, it's me your mate' 

or

'Just looking around'?

That would totally raise his suspicions on me so let's avoid that! Ugh. Think think think--

I just hope it'll go well!

"I deeply apologize for my rudeness, sir. I did not mean it. I also apologize for not introducing myself to you earlier. I am Kira Castelle and from now on, I'll be working here as what Mrs. July had hired me for." I bowed slightly at him, showing sincereness.

"Working? As what?" Err, maid? Uhm--

"As your babysitter." I looked up at him with a serious expression on my face. 

"Really? On MY clothes?" What the—

I looked down at the cloth that I was wearing. Holy crap. I completely forgot that I am wearing his clothes! Stupid Kira! Now what should I tell him!?

"M-mrs. July told me to borrow some clothes in the closet and I got this. I could take it off if you don't want me wearing it." I quickly replied and looked away, avoiding his deadly stare. 

"Take it off, then. Here. Right now." I looked at him unbelievably. What the hell?

"Are you serious!?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"
