Emilia's POV
It had been a couple of days but the encounter with Luke was something that I would never like to happen again. There was something in his aura that scream power, money and danger. Even as I walked away from the principal's office, I could still feel his stair that made every hair in my body to rise.
I kept the interaction to myself to avoid worrying Nick. I could see that she had been struggling so hard with her new situation and even if she tried to hide it, I still noticed it. Her lavish and luxurious life style changed because she picked us over her family and even though I knew that we loved each other, I'm not sure how long she'll hold on. All I could do was trust her and support her just like what she did you Maddy and I.
Maddy completely adored Nick. She made sure to spend time with her but was also so understanding when Nick was too tired to play with her. She was still a little traumatized when Nick disappeared therefore, Nick always assured her the she will never leave her again.
I was pulled from my deep though when the other members of the council came in. It was different now that John was gone and it was decided that nobody would take his place as vice president and the other council members would divide his task.
"Good afternoon Pres." Anthony, our treasurer, greeted me.
"Hey Emilia." Mona, our secretary, said as she followed Anthony in.
The other members went in and sat on their respective place. It was a little assuring that the everyone seemed to act normal despite of the circumstances. "Let's begin the meeting, what are our agenda for today?" I asked as I looked at Mona.
The secretary nodded and began to speak. "We only have the winter carnival to prepare. Like every year, it'll be three days from Thursday to Saturday a week before Christmas. Preparations were mostly completed. Most of the booth and stall owners have been verified and give their passes. We were just waiting for the company that we contacted for the rides to get their safety permit and then we are good to go."
"That's great. Thank you Mona. Let's proceed to the other topic shall we?" I then nodded towards one of the other council member. "Gary if you may."
"Okay Emila..." Gary started.
Nicole's POV
"Hey Nick! How's that car doing?" Drew asked as he approached me. I was in the middle of changing the radiator of car that stopped earlier and had been towed to Drew's shop.
"I just finished changing the radiator and fan belt. I also checked the engine, all good so far. Although, the car needs a little cleaning and oil change soon." I replied while I closed the hood. Based on my observation, this car was not properly maintained. There was a lot of litters inside the car and it was covered in dust.
"Then please go ahead and do whatever you need to." A voice from behind my boss answered. She was probably around early to mid thirties, red hair with long slender legs. She screamed money but it doesn't really reflect on her car. Doesn't she have someone to take care of it? Her eyes were covered by big round dark shades and I could smell her perfume from miles aways. "It was usually Ernesto that takes care of the car but he recently got fired and hasn't been replaced yet."
"It will cost you few additional bucks." I replied.
"As I mentioned to your boss, money is no object Just do what you have to do. I got time. " She answered in a sultry voice as she walked towards me. She tipped her shades slightly and I could see the green hue of her eyes. She continued to walk slowly around me, checking me out until she stopped and placed her hand on the hood. "I'm Patricia by the way. You can call me Trixie." She then held one of her hand.
I looked at it and almost took it for a handshake but then I noticed my dirty hand. "Sorry, I my hands are dirty."
"No worries. " She then stayed like that looking at me like a prey. Oh boy. Based on my experience, she was definitely interested in me but sorry for her, she's not my type and I there's only one woman in my mind.
"Ma'am, I would need to move the car in order to start cleaning it and you might want to stay at the waiting area or you might get wet."
"Oh... I'm already wet." She replied, bitting her lower lips. "Really, really wet." I took a step back when she started to walk closer to me again. I turned around and realized the Drew had left the premises. I nearly tumbled from back when I almost stepped on one of the tools. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it might ripped from my body. I had been propositioned before but this woman was too much.
"Ms. Anderwood." It was drew. Thank goodness! "Can you please join me in my office to sign these receipts. It will take around 20 more mins for Nick to clean and vacuum your car. In the meantime, have some refreshments or something."
"Ok." Drew left again as soon as she acknowledge him. I used this chance to put some more distance between her and myself. When I thought she was going to walk directly towards the office, I was wrong. She beelined besides me and whispered. "Later..." She finally walked aways giggling to herself.
I released the breathe the I didn't know I was holding. Even though I had a reputation of being a play girl in our school. I never had that kind of experience. I felt like a prey wanted to be even alive by a seasoned hunter. I better finish cleaning this car so I could get away from here.
"Hey Drew!" I called as I leaned in the small window of his office. "The car's cleaned and vacuumed here's the key. I'm gonna clean up and go unless you need me to do anything." In my peripheral vision, I saw the red head lady busy with her phone.
"Nah, we are good. Troy can do it if we get a call or another customer. Go home and study."
I nodded. "Thanks Drew." His shop opened a few days ago. Technically we were still in soft opening but the power of social media made if possible to get a few customers already. It also helped that my friends helped in promoting his shop. Aside from me, there's Troy, Greg and Julio that works the car. While Emilia and another working college student named Lucy were doing the books. They were all good people and Drew was a good boss so far. He also said that he would be giving our pay checks by the ned of the week in order for us to have money for our expenses. The job was tiring but for the first time in my life, I felt bit of pride and satisfaction. I had so much to learn therefore, I vowed not to let these people, who gave me a chance, down and I'll work hard for everything.
I was left in my boy shorts and sports bra when I took off my greasy jumper and white muscle shirt and placed them on a plastic bag in order to prevent the insides of my duffle bag from being stained with grease, dirt or whatever stuff that stuck to me while fixing and cleaning cars. It was great that Drew had at least separate areas for men and women. I gathered my clean stuff as walked towards the lone shower boot. I was in the middle of shampooing my hair when I heard the door opened. It was probably Emilia picking me up. It was also a good thing that Drew's shop was in the middle of Michelle's house an school.
"I'm almost done babe." I shouted. However, when I there was no reply, I started have doubts but then, no one aside from employees were allowed in this area and I trust that the guys would not fool around. I then decided to rinse myself clean, wrap the towel in my body and went out the stall.
The sight in front of me surprised me that I froze on the spot. Miss Anderson was perched in the sink, with only in her bra and underwear. "Now that you are all clean and wet... I believe we have an unfinished business." She said as she licked her lips.
Seeing that I was frozen in shock, she gently hopped from the sink and stroll towards me. "You're not the only one that's all wet." She while her hands were slowly massaging my biceps. "Hmmm... hard and strong. I wonder what you fingers can do."
"Uh..." I uttered. I shook my head and stepped back. "Wait..."
"Shhh... don't be shy... I got you."
"No."
She was about to step forward when the door opened and I heard a very familiar voice. "What the hell is going on here."
It was Emilia.
And if looks can kill. I would be dead.
