I’m In Love With An Housemaid
Chapter 2
Flora POV.
I just finished dusting the chairs and cleaning the centre table. Then i began to mob the floor.
A song can be an accompany
Then i started singing a song which has to do with what i was presently doing.
i’ll try my best to make things right i’ll do nothing rather than to continue music but to make things right…. ..
“Flora”He called.
“Oh, Peter,you’re awake?” i asked even after seeing him right in front of me. I must be very stupid for asking such question.
“I overslept..jeez”He said glaring at the wall clock.
7:43am it says.
“I already cooked breakfast”
“Very Good. I have to go somewhere though.. But i’ll eat as soon as i have my bathe”Peter said then he took his leave.
“Awwwwwn. Where does he want to go?
********
Not too long,someone knocked on the door. I hurriedly went to get it only to see a young lady.She’s beautiful though.
“Who are you? ” I asked not letting her in.
“Oh my! I should be the one to ask you that question instead”The lady replied .
“I’m sorry.I won’t let you in untill i know who you are and why you are here”I said as if i own the house.
“Like seriously?”
I nodded.
“You’re funny.I am here to see Peter”She said.
“Who’s that? “Peter came over.
“Some girl”I replied.
“I’m not a girl but maybe you are”She said and forcefully came in.
“Monica” Peter said.
“Yes darling”Monica hugged him.
Oh, his girlfriend.They are not even compatible.
I scorned. The lady is weird.
She scorned back at me. Then i left.
Peter’s POV.
“I just thought we should go and register together “Monica said.
“You go all alone.I can go later”I replied.
“Nooo” she insisted
“Why not? ” i asked.
“No reason”
“Fine! I was just about to leave. So you won,we’re going together”I agreed.
“Marvellous” She clapped.
“Just a minute” I took a brief excuse.
“Peter”She called.
“Yes? “I replied
 
********
 
Monica’s POV.
“Peter”I called him as he was about to go back to his room perhaps to take his bag.
“Yes? “He replied.
I stared at his l-ips then asked:
“Who was that lady i saw the other time? ”
“You mean Flora? ” Peter asked
“What ever” I said.
“Hmmn? ”
“I’m talking about that young girl that didn’t let me in”
“Her name is Flora”He answered.
“And? ” I asked expecting him to say more than her name.
“And? ” He repeated.
“Why is she here? ” I asked anxiously.
“Flora”He called and she rushed in a jiffy. “Meet Monica,she’s my friend”He introduced.
…..
Flora’s POV
Having eavesdropped,peter called me,i responded quite quickly…Hoping they didn’t suspect that i was listening to their conversation but they didn’t look suspicious.
“I’m Flora Daves”I introduced myself releasing my hand for an handshake.
Monica looked down at it and then faced Peter. I just slowly took away my hand feeling kinda embarrassed.
“Why is she here? “She asked Peter.
“She’s the housemaid”He said;”My housemaid”He added.
Unexpectedly, Monica started laughing uncontrollably.
“What’s funny?”I wondered.
“Hey Monica”Peter cut in with a warning look and she stopped laughing.
*”Wait, is she insane?”*I asked myself.
“So you are just an housemaid?”Monica said.
“So? “I fired back.
She scorned at me.
“Whatever!” I said but not loudly.
“I’ll just go get my bag”Peter excused himself.
I used this little moment to scorn at Monica back before leaving the living room.

Monica ‘s POV
She’s a bastard.
She’s not going to stay here.
I’ll make her leave,i’ll surely do.
I tried to comfort myself untill Peter returned.Then we both left the house while peter shouted behind;”Flora, i’ll be back soon”
*Must he?* I frowned

We got to White Bridge Registration Centre within just two hours. The place wasn’t a bridge neither was it painted in white.I then began to wonder why it was named White bridge.
There was a long queue yet most people were perambulating around the periphery.We decided not to join the queue too,we rather went to sit somewhere so cool.
“Seems like the sun is very angry with someone today”I said staring at the scorching sun above. “Or maybe we should just return home now and come back early tomorrow morning”I suggested taking away my gaze from the sun but to the queue.
I was actually expecting a response from her but there wasn’t.
“It doesn’t seems like we are going to register today”I kept on talking.
 
Wait, isn’t she gonna say anything?
Why is she so quite since we got here? “I wondered.
“Monica? “i called avoiding to glare at her.
“Monica? “I called again but this time i turned to her and suddenly her head fell on my shoulder.
Really?..She’s sleeping…? But we just sat here not too long and she’s sleeping. Jeez!
I stared at her sleeping face.
She’s beautiful though, i commented staring at her l-ips to her little nose and then her tightly closed eyes.I smiled while i remembered how close we’ve been.
I and Monica have been close friends right from secondary school.Our parents’ were very close as well.Unfortunately,she just fell for me and i had nothing for her rather than friendsh¡p or probably best friendsh¡p.
So so unfortunate that she wouldn’t let go of me.
She raised her head of my shoulder.
“What are thinking about? She asked.
“You weren’t sleeping?” i asked.
“I wasn’t.I just wanted know how it feels like on your shoulder”She responded smiling.
“Darn it”I scorned.
“If i ask for the permission to lay my head on your shoulder,Would you let me? ”
“I surely wouldn’t”
“That’s why i stole it”She replied.
I gave her a please-just-leave-me look then stood up to leave but she held my hand.

Peter’s POV.
“What? “I asked.
“Are you leaving?”She asked releasing my hand.
“No, i want to join the queue.see,it’s scanty already”I replied now walking towards the scanty queue.
“Ohh, yeah”She replied then followed me.
I joined the male queue, she joined the females’.
Just so soon, it was my turn to be attended to. We were to enter in twos’.. So I and Monica entered.
“There”A big man directed her to a woman opposite him while he attended to me.
“Good day sir'”I greeted.
“Sit”He gestured.
I sat quietly.
“Your name? “He asked now placing his gaze at the computer right in front of him.
“Peter Benson”i replied as i watched him type.
He asked some other questions which i know i answered correctly.
“Goodluck. You’ll recieve a message in your email so just study very hærd”He advised.
“I will”I muttered already taking my leave while the next person came in.
“It wasn’t stressful though”I heard Monica’s voice.
“Yeah,it wasn’t.I didn’t know when you came out” I said.
“Just some minutes before you did”She replied
“So we are leaving quite soon”
“Yeah, I’m coming to your place”
“Monica, i want to study”I fired back.
“Tomorrow?”
“I really want to study, you know the examination we just registered for will commence in some months time”
“We can study together. Can’t we? “Monica insisted.
“But… ”
“Okay fine! I won’t come”She finally gave up. I didn’t say anything.”Heir’s Medical Institution right? ”
“Yeah” i replied.
“I chose that too”She replied smiling.
“Why? “I asked frowning.
“What? ”
“You chose HMI because i chose it too?”
“No”She denied.
I stopped and stared at her.
“Fine yes. Your mom actually told me i choose it”She confessed.
“Mom?”.
She nodded slowly.
“But it’s my choice and not yours”I said still staring at her.
“And it’s my choice to be with you”She spoke softly.
“You know what Monica? Let’s just go differently now. Take a cab from here and i’ll do the same since i didn’t come with a car”I said and immediately stopped a cab.
“Pls wait Peter”she pleaded but i ignored while i boarded the cab.
