"Why don't you stay like this?" I ask.
She shifts nervously. "Don't you find me weird in this? I mean, you're not used to see me or.. infact anyone in this."
"Are you kidding me? You look beautiful." The words the flow out of my mouth.
She smiles and pulls the dupatta down from her head. "Ok then."
Half an hour later
Her bangles clash against themselves making a sound that I find homely and endearing.
I can't help but gawk at her as she makes breakfast.
Her hairs fall on her face again for the umpteenth number of time and she moves them back with the back of her hand. Some flour gets smeared on her forehead.
She narrows her eyes when she catches me watching. "Why are you staring?"
"You look like pillsbury dough boy." I tease.
"Not everyone can look like a Greek god even when they wake up." She replies and rolls her eyes.
I lean against the kitchen island, folding my arms. "Are you say I'm attractive?" I tease again. Why am I being like this?
She turns bright pink which makes me chuckle. "No... I mean yes... not that I am attracted.. like maybe.. but no.. it's impossible." She stutters cutely. Then she stops. "Wait a minute." She turns towards me and points the spatula at me. "You. Are you teasing me?"
I shrug.
"Who are you? What to have you done to my Mr Woods."
I arch a brow. "My Mr Woods?" I step behind her and place both of my hands against the counter, around her.
She stops breathing. "What are you doing?" She asks.
I push a stray strand of her hairs behind her ear. She shudders. "You tell me."
She looks up at my face. I don't belive in fireworks or sparks but something is definitely going back and forth between us.
I thought this stupid attraction of mine will fade away once I'm bored with her. But one can never be bored by Sierra Lynch. She is one of her kind. So refreshing, so new, so different.
Now this attraction is turning into a whole new thing.
"This shouldn't be happening right?" She asks to herself naively.
Then she smiles and pushes me back.
"Go get ready. You have a meeting at 8 today." She reminds me.
Oh no. I totally forgot about that. "Damn. The breakfast should be served by the time I am here." I order. Then I realise this isn't the right way. She is not my servant. "Please." I add and jog out of the kitchen.
"Yes sir!" She shouts behind me.
I smile.
