Chapter 7 The Beauty
- Chris's POV:
- Our eyes met and she looked away.
- Why was she staring at me in the first place?
- This girl doesn't listen one bit,she's trying to give me an excuse to punish her which I will gladly do.
- Should I punish her?
- What evidence do I have that she was actually looking at me?
- Do I now need evidence to punish someone? What am I even thinking about?
- The only thing in my mind is how to punish people, I really have a problem.
- "She looks beautiful chris'' Stephen said.
- As if he was the only one seeing her.
- Everyone looks lovely and beautiful to Stephen. I won't be surprised if he tells me he's marrying a pimp one day because he likes them a lot .
- "Who?'' I asked .
- "That maid??" he said and pointed at her.
- He is saying Ezra is beautiful ,but he didn't see her beauty when she was dirty and ugly, am sure he was disgusted but now she's pretty ,men are unbelievable sometimes is a pretty face the only thing they look at when looking at a woman.
- "Oh "I replied.
- "Is she new?" He asked curiously.
- Does he want to flirt here,am I won't be surprised if that's why he was asking, am sure all the masters are used to his behavior by now.
- Where did I get such a friend that is so unlike me,they say opposites attract? I really do not like this, what did I do wrong??
- "She is the maid that saved Evan"I said .
- "That's a lie'' Stephen said.
- Is there a reason I would lie to him ,why is he suddenly calling me a liar?
- This man drives me nuts with the words that come out of his mouth,but I am calm and better than him so I will keep my cool .
- "Maybe if you had eyes you would have seen that" I said and sipped my drink.
- "She is quite pretty,''Felix (a master) said.
- "Can I have her?''He asked.
- I didn't know that master Felix fancied young ladies,he is married and his son is a fine young man ,so why's he interested in a young lady?
- I guess it's another thing I need to add to the list of things I don't know about him.
- "You know the answer already," I said.
- Master Felix laughed.
- He knows that I don't give my maids out under any circumstance .
- "Felix don't try saying that again I saw her first" Stephen said. Stephen can do anything just to have a lady, but he never puts such energy in his academics, or learning how to be a master,no wonder his father bosses him around.
- And he can do nothing about it.
- "Hump Jack, call her," Stephen told his guard.
- "Is there a need for that Stephen, she's busy" I said.
- Calling a maid here is Stephen serious,this is a place masters stay has no respect?
- While I guess Stephen no one would say anything since they know what he's like.
- "I need a drink " he said and winked at me.
- This is just great he's going to start flirting in front of the masters.
- "I will tell your father, " master Felix said.
- "He can only see me when I get home he isn't here" Stephen said and stuck out his tongue at master Felix.
- What is this man doing?
- Doesn't he know he shouldn't act like this in public?
- "You are so immature," master Felix told him.
- "That's not your business old man," Stephen replied.
- He just called master Felix an old man.
- Why is he insulting him?
- "Stephen, please behave," I said.
- "He's so irresponsible and doesn't know how to speak to his elders," master Felix said.
- "You started it, why did you bring my father into this?" Stephen asked him.
- "I will definitely tell him of how disrespectful you are as well" master Felix said.
- "Master Felix there's no need to go so far am sorry let bygone be bygone ,you know you still look like a handsome young man." Stephen smiled .
- Oh he's trying to sugar talk to him .
- What is all this?
- "And you are irresponsible,"Master Felix said.
- "I know I know I am,so.....we are ok?" Stephen asked.
- "I don't have a problem with you," master Felix said.
- Stephen always has his ways of getting out of trouble ,if master Felix didn't agree he would bother him until he promises not to tell his father of it.
- That's why master Felix agreed.
- Jack went and called Ezra and she followed him instantly,she walked nervously.
- "You sent for me, master" she said .
- "Yes I did.....I need a drink."Stephen said smiling at her.
- She gave him a drink. Felix was taking a proper look at her and so did Stephen.
- These two should walk hand in hand as professional womanizers. I didn't care since it doesn't concern me ,but I haven't seen this side of master Felix before after all he is married and old.
- I won't call him old but he really is old and has gray hair ,he has a lot of mistresses ,if he plans on taking another one.
- "So.... have we met before?" Stephen asked her.
- "Yes master, I saw you once at the dinning," she replied.
- "You weren't joking," Stephen said to me. I didn't want to reply because I don't want to be a part of this conversation,but did he seriously think I was lying to him?
- What reason do I have to lie?
- I have no connection to her whatsoever.
- "You look.... Different... Beautiful and breathtaking I couldn't help but stare " he smiled.
- She looked down.
- He's actually flirting with her here in front of me.
- All I could do was sigh and act as if I wasn't here.
- All these compliments were to woo her.
- "Thank you master" she replied
- "What's your name?"Stephen asked.
- He's definitely flirting with her ,but she can't do anything even if she doesn't like it.
- "E.....ezra" she replied nervously.
- "The name is as lovely as the owner,am I not right?" Stephen asked master Felix.
- "You are definitely right, looking at her up close, she's a true beauty," Master Felix replied.
- I thought he was angry a minute ago.
- He was flirting with her,she seemed uncomfortable with it.
- "You have beautiful maids here Chris, are you sure you are not willing to make a trade?" Master Felix asked.
- "Master Felix please stay out of this" Stephen smiled at him .
- "Stephen watch the way you speak to master Felix" I said.
- "Alright alright he owes me" Stephen said.
- Owes him what?
- "I am not making any trade master Felix." I said.
- "That's alright Stephen is already captivated by her I won't want to start a fight with this flirt" master Felix said.
- "Am nor a flirt master Felix" Stephen said.
- Will a flirt ever admit he is a flirt .
- "Yea I am sure you are not ,you are such a diligent man that only works where there are women," master Felix said sarcastically.
- "Am I making you uncomfortable?" He asked her.
- He just noticed that now she has been uncomfortable from the start.
- "No master," she replied.
- "No need to hide it,"Stephen told her.
- "Leave the poor girl alone," Felix told Stephen.
- "Master Felix I thought you said you left to get to me" Stephen said.
- "She's uncomfortable, can't you see that," Master Felix replied.
- "I know that but she isn't complaining.... Are you uncomfortable, Ezra?" Stephen asked her.
- "I'm not uncomfortable master ,I assure you." She replied.
- Even if she was uncomfortable she wouldn't admit it ,she was in front of a master.
- Is he actually talking about that in front of her,as if they want to buy her.
- I have had enough of this.
- "You can go, " I said.
- "Thank you master" she said and hurriedly left.
- "Wait!!!! !" Stephen shouted but she was faster than his voice.
- He turned to be annoyed,I just ruined his game.
- "Chris, you must ruin everything,"he said.
- I smiled.
- I like ruining his games.
- He rolled his eyes and folded his arms,he acted like a kid sometimes.
- In my definition is still a kid growing up and his still fascinated by interesting things that could hurt him if care is not taken.
- "You can't stop me from meeting her"
- He said.
- Why would I even stop him?
- It's not my concern as long as he does not do it in front of me we are fine.
- I must say she actually looked decent for once ......Nora taught her well or did she decide to change for herself, well it doesn't matter it's all well.........
- I didn't see her again,she must have gone back to the kitchen to hide from Stephen and his devious ways.
- I wonder when Stephen will realize that he needs to change because he will be a master someday. He has the luxury of having a father and all he does is play around and act like a kid,flirt with every woman in sight and gamble his life away.
- Everyone changes so I know he will change in the future. I just hope things are always smooth for him, my dear friend after all. I saw him laughing. I guess one shouldn't worry much and just live in the moment. If I could do that I would be so happy, life is full of surprises ,ups and downs but when you are strong nothing can bring you down.
