I’m In Love With An Housemaid
Chapter 13
Peter’s POV.
“Please Flora,come out” I pleaded.
She didn’t respond.
“Will you? ” I asked.
“I won’t ” She yelled.
“Fine! I’m sorry” I really am.
“You scared me, you really did.I thought i had commited murder by mistake” She said yet, she didn’t open the door.
“I’m really sorry.I guess i was just being childish” I said leaning on the door.
She opened the door and i nearly fell..
“Are you really gonna stop acting like you’ve got no memory?” I asked staring at her.
“Of course”
“Pls don’t.you know,if you do…”
She interrupted;” Alright,Alright,i won’t”
I smiled.Obviously,she wasn’t upset.
“So am i forgiven?” I asked.
She scorned sarcastically ; ” What do you want for lunch? ” She asked instead.
I smiled.
“Forget about lunch,i want you ” I said.
“Me? ” She exclaimed.
“Your smile”
She smiled.

“How could you ruin your party Peter” Francis yelled at me.
“I didn’t ruin it, mom did” I replied.
“We got the news, you were caught k-ssing your housemaid”
I was mute.
“Are you daft? ”
“C’mon, I’m not”
“Don’t give me a flimsy excuse”Francis shouted.
“Don’t you wanna hear me out? ”
“Say something fair”
“Listen, i love her”
“WTF”
“Is that fair enough? “I asked.
“Peter” Vincent finally spoke after being silent for a while.. I noticed he has been staring at me since we
“Vincent,Peter’s insane.. You’re in love with an housemaid? Does that even make any sense?”
“You’re dating Monica.aren’t you? ” Vincent asked.
I was shocked.
He found out so soon?
“When did you become a cheat Peter?” Francis said.
He’s not aware..
“Vin-cent..” I kinda stammered.
“You have a explanation? What do you wanna explain?
Why you’re dating the lady i love?
I thought you’d never do that” Vincent shouted.
Jeez, he’s mad at me.
“I think i’m lost here” Francis said obviously confused.
“Vincent, i swear down. It’s not my fault,i didn’t planned to..I.. ”
He cut in sharply.
“My fault? ”
“I didn’t ask her out, she did”
WTF!
“Don’t tell me, you’re actually expecting me to believe that? ”
” I swear down”
“And you agreed? ”
I was mute.
What have i done?
Flora is not aware too.. What if she finds out?
“Listen Vincent, I don’t love Monica” I said.
“Guys,I’m confuse here. Can someone at least make this clear?”Francis scre-med.
Vincent scorned and muttered something i did not hear and then he walked away.
“Peter, do you have something to tell me? ” Francis faced me.
“Maybe later” I replied then i hurried to catch up with Vincent.
Seems like he doesn’t wanna listen to me not even my plead.

.

“Oh Kate, I’m missing you. How are you doing over there? How are you siblings, your parents? Awesome, that’s super good to hear…Really?tell me..Is he cute? Waoh, i’m happy for you. Oh yeah,Peter’s fine too, of course, he’s mine finally… ”
Someone knocked on the door
“Hold on Kate, Just a minute…Who’s that? ”
The bang became louder and more aggressive.
“I’ll call you later dear”
I disconnected the call and rushed to open the door.
Surprisingly it was Peter.
“Oh my, what a surprise visit.Come in and make your self very comfortable..” I gestured but he interrupted.
“Monica whatever is between both of us, let’s end it now..i mean right now”
He closed the door himself and came closer.
“I.. I don’t understand” I stammered moving backward.
“I hope you’ll understand” He said.
“Wh.. What? ”
“I don’t love you”
I was dumbfounded.I wanted to cry but oh no, not in front of him.
“I don’t like you either”
“Huhhh”
“Now you understand,don’t you ? ”
I nodded gently.
“It’s over between us” He scre-med at me..
“Pe’.. Peter” I stammered but he took his phone which only vibrated then he said “Hello”
**********
Peter’s POV
“You mean Vincent has a crush on Monica? ” Francis asked.
“I don’t mean to betray Vincent. It only happened that way..” I said.
“I understand.Monica has always been desperate to have you” He said “by all means” he added.
“Exactly”
“I think the very best thing for you is tobreak up with Monica soon”
“I already did that, i broke up with her just as soon as Vincent misunderstood me yesterday”
“I guess that fair enough. So ever then,have you contacted Vincent? ”
“I tried to, but he wouldn’t listen.. He didn’t give me a chance to apologize too”
“I can be of help. At least, he’s not gonna snub me.. ”
“I need to take my leave now. You know….”
Francis giggled: “I know”

Flora’s POV
.
.
Someone knocked on the door.
I wanted to exclaim Peter’s name.. but he already warned me to keep quiet when someone knocks.
The knock came again…
I tip-toped and peeped through the window….Christ!
MONICA??!!
Why is she here?
Jeeez, she saw me.
“Hey,Flora open the door” She shouted.
I hesitated not to open the door but i finally did hoping she probably came for good.
Unfortunately,she welcomed with a dirty slap on my right cheeks.
“You idiot!”She insulted me.
“Hey……”
“You fool,No doubt you’re a bastard”Monica said and drag me by the ears and squeezed them then landed another slap on my back.
I struggled in pains.
“Who the hell are you? Why are you treating me this way? ” I scre-med.
“Tell me, why won’t i? “she pulled my hairs and swung me.
“You’re hurting me”I complained.
“You know what,can you do me a favour?” She asked.
Arrrrgh,what does she want to request for?
“LEAVE!!!” Monica emphasized.
What??
Why?
Suddenly, Peter opened the door.
“Flora” He rushed in then pushed Monica away then he hugged me.
“Hey Monica”
“Peter why? Why do you have to hurt me so much? ” Monica said and began to weep.
“Are you Okay? ” Peter faced me instead.
“You came just in time” I replied.
He hugged me again and then k-ssed my forehead.
“Peter,i loved you for three years. Is this the only way to pay me back? ” She said really weeping soberly.
“Have i ever told you this?” Peter said..
What?
“What” Monica muttered.
“I hate you” Peter said.
“Hey Peter, that’s too harsh. It’s enough” I said halting the hug.
“Pe…”
He interrupted her.
“Now leave”He said.
“I’m very sorry Peter, i didn’t mean to hurt Flora….I…I. ”
“Leave” Peter scre-med.
