Chapter 65

Kiel POV

After having the conversation with Frederick about the news of his girlfriend's affair, I relaxed on my bed. Aside from advising him, I don't think there was anything more that I could do. Besides, I advised him about it already.

"How can you fall in love with your maid"?...


I know it happens most times, in the movies, novels, and even in real life. What doesn't happen is falling in love with a person for under five days!!!

I'm screaming!!!


Yeah, I know there is something like 'love at first sight, but that is bullshit that me and Frederick do not believe in anymore. But recently, I think he began having faith in meeting someone and falling deeply for them in split seconds. Look at where that landed him.


I never built something serious with all the women I had been with. It was just sex and vibes! Frederick should study my methods with women. It was hard to believe he started acting dumb because of a woman, a maid for that matter.


Maybe, love makes you dumb, I kept thinking. But, you can decide to be reasonable. Frederick put in all of his heart and that is one thing I do not advise anyone to do.


Just as I was thinking about Frederick and his love life, Maybelle called.

"Damn", I muttered.

I was trying to avoid the woman in question. I knew I was falling for her already. All the late-night calls, video calls, and date nights even when we were far from each other made me attach to her.


Here I was, condemning my friend when I was deeply in love with a woman who stayed far away from me. I was the one-night stand, many women, playboy kind of guy. Falling in love, long distance committed relationships were certainly not my thing. But right now, Maybelle was making me see things differently and I couldn't blame Frederick anymore.


"I guess love makes you stupid", I said and picked up her call.


"Hey baby", she said.


"Hey pretty damsel, ma cherié, queen of the coast, black bonnie, cute chic", I said to her. I could hear her blush from the other side of the line. I smiled to myself and got up from the bed.


"You do know how to flatter me", she said.


"Oh yes. I mean everything though. I mean everything I say to you, including the names I call you. Ain't you a pretty damsel"?, I asked her as I shut the door and headed downstairs. It Was 9:14 am already and I had not had the most important meal of the day, breakfast.


I put my hands in the pocket of my bathrobe and asked how she was doing when I did not hear her say anything.

"Oh, give me a second baby, let me fix this. oh yes, I got it. I'm doing great love", she said.


"It seems like you are busy", I said as I mimicked walking steps on the dining table with my fingers.


"I'm done baby, just signing a document. So, tell me, how are you doing?, She asked.


I got into the kitchen and saw Sara making an omelet. Kissing her on the forehead, I removed the strand of hair lying peacefully on her hair.

She tried to struggle and I rolled my eyes at her. I put the strand of hair on her face so she could see it. Sara shook her head and waved at me. I raised my brows at her ungratefulness and walked away.


"Sorry about that babe. It was my nanny. We fight a lot", I said laughing.

"So, where were we?"I asked her.


"How are you doing?"she asked again.


"Yeah", I answered, remembering that was the last thing she said to me.


"Humm, I'm trying to be there for my best friend, Frederick. He just got heartbroken by his ex-maid.


"Oh wow. He fell in love with his maid", she exclaimed.


"Yes baby", I answered and began feeling good within me that at least, someone finally understood what I have been trying to explain.


"Babe, that is amazing. He must love her to have fallen deeply for her, despite her status quo", she said.


My jaw dropped. I thought she was thinking like me too.

"She's a maid, babe. He is a fucking billionaire", I was almost screaming.


"C'mon babe, this is the 21st century. Being a maid is not a terrible job these days. People do it proudly and the pay is good. For your Fredrick to have fallen in love with her, means she's pretty, elegant, reserved, and amazing. Billionaires do not just give their hearts away to just any kind of maid", she said without even letting me talk.


"Alright, alright. Let's stop talking about Frederick and his love life. When are you coming to New York", I asked her.


After laughing, she answered. "Soon, love. Remember, I said I was working on a project"?


"Yes, and it's supposed to bring you down here, to New York. So, when are you coming", I asked curiously.


"Soon baby, soon", she answered.


Sara came out of the kitchen holding a tray containing my breakfast.

"I have to go now, baby. Breakfast is here", I said to Maybelle, licking my lips and smiling at Sara. Sara brushed my hair with her hands and walked away, back to the kitchen.


"Okay baby boy. Take care of yourself. Loads of love", she said and I knew she was smiling, her voice sounded like it.


I ended the call and dug my food. It was sumptuous as usual. Every bite tasted delicious. I took the last bite of the omelet and drank the beverage that came with the food. I cleaned my mouth with the towel and took my plate to the kitchen.


"Thanks, Sara for breakfast. The omelet was delicious", I said to her, throwing a kiss at her.


"Any plans for the day"? She asked with a smile on her face.


"I don't know yet though", I answered.


"How is Frederick? Haven't seen him here for a very long time. Isn't he supposed to be married by now"?, She asked and continued scrolling through her phone.


"Humm", I said, scratching my hair.

"The wedding is in two days though and Frederick is fine".


She nodded her head in response to my answer. The next minute, I was walking up to my room to take a nap.
