Maid for the Mafia Boss

10 months later…

I laid on my side and was planning on hugging the one beside me, but there’s no one there.

My eyebrows narrowed as I open one of my eyes.

Keian’s gone…?

I sat upright on the bed and looked up at the clock. It’s still dark because it’s still 5 o’clock in the morning.

I know that Keian has no work today.

I pouted because usually if Keian has no work, he will stay in bed.

–

I heard noises coming from the bathroom, and I guessed he’s there.

I worried too much…

I sighed and waited for Keian to go out of the bathroom.

I’m not feeling sleepy anyway.

It’s been 10 months since we went to Palawan. A lot had happened in those times.

Not only to Keian and me but also to the members of the M9 Marques Mafia, of which I am now a part of.

Our relationship strengten. All of us…

Even Diego is now fully accepted by Keian and the others.

Fights between Keian and me are not rare. It’s normal for couples to fight. It’s just small fights anyway. But every after fights, we would always talk to each other, find solutions for our problem.

That’s our deal. After every fight, there should be deep conversations.

To avoid deeper understandings.

And I’m glad I agreed with that because it helped the two of us a lot.

What happened to Palawan still bothers me and pains me. Every time I remember that time, I’m not telling myself I’m okay though I’m not.

That way, my feelings won’t build up, and that helps too.

” Goodmorning,” I smiled when Keian got out of the room and greeted me, but my smile disappeared when I saw that a towel’s what only covering his lower body.

I unconsciously bit my lip as my eyes traveled on his chiseled body.

” Hey, Nass.” He said, amused.

I rolled my eyes at him though I can feel my cheeks burning.

” Why?” I asked with a hint of pretend irritancy.

He went closer to the bed, not minding his wet body and the water dropping to the floor.

” The floor is getting wet, Keian! You even have carpet. That’s hard to clean, you know?!” He laughed as he holds the towel covering his lower body.

My eyes widened.

” Keiranz Andrew Marques!” I scolded him when he removed the thing covering his… you know, his.

I turned my back to him.

My eyes even had a glimpse of THAT.

My innocent eyes!

I took a pillow and threw it in his direction. Because I can’t see him, the pillow only ended up on the floor.

Hmph.

” Hahaha! It’s okay, Nass. This is all yours!”

” Wear clothes already!”

” You want me to dry my body, right?” I faced him and gave my full strength to look only at his eyes just to give him a glare.

” Heh! Hurry up! Put on your clothes already!” I complained.

I want to cry when my eyes are going down.

Huhuhu. Bad eyes!

He remained standing in front of me while staring at my eyes.

I hissed and covered my face with a pillow.

Then I heard Keian’s laugh.

Go on, laugh…

I heard him walk towards the closet.

Good.

*thud*

I removed the pillow covering my face and looked at Keian when I heard someone fell down.

” Did you just tripped?” I asked.

He immediately stood up and looked at me.

” No…” I smirked.

” Pfft—” I prevented myself from laughing when he glared at me.

He glanced at the one that tripped him, and that’s the pillow I threw earlier.

Hah!

My aim is so good!

” Stupid pillow!” He frustratingly kicked the pillow away and entered the closet.

When his figure disappeared from my sight, I laughed loudly.

” Karma, HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

” You know that I can hear you, right?” He shouted.

My laugh got even louder.

” Yeah!”

Minutes passed where laughing is all I did.

Keian came out of the walk-in closet, and he’s only wearing jogger pants. He didn’t wear his t-shirt.

I stared fiercely at his abs— I mean at his face.

He grinned, opening his arms wide. Like he’s saying to stare at his body more.

I heaved out a sigh.

” Wait…” I looked up at Keian, whose forehead is wrinkled.

” Is there something you want to say to me?” I got confused at what he asked.

” Huh? Why? Do I have something I need to say to you?” His eyebrows raised.

” Are you serious, baby?” My mouth gaped.

” What? What’s up?” His jaw dropped as he blinked repeatedly.

He stared at me. Waiting for me to say something.

Huh??? Is there something I don’t know?

When he realized I had nothing to say, his expression turned cold.

He wore his plain white t-shirt and stayed quiet.

My eyebrows furrowed.

Wait, I’m so confused…

He approached me and pecked a kiss on my forehead before walking to the door.

” Wait, Keian…” I stared at the closing door.

” Had I done something?” I asked myself.

I tried to remember if there is something I forgot, but I know there’s nothing.

I pouted and stood on my feet to fix myself in the bathroom.

—

I am just looking at the floor while walking. Thinking why Keian became like that.

I am going to the dining room to eat breakfast.

When I crashed to a wall?

” Nass!” oops, it’s not a wall. It’s a person.

I looked up at Diego, who held my shoulders.

” Are you okay?”

” Ah, yes. Sorry, I’m not looking at where I’m going.”

His eyebrows furrowed.

” That looked like it.” He shook my head at me then we went to the table together.

” You want coffee?” Diego asked. I nodded at him.

” Yes, please…” He smiled then entered the kitchen.

I sat on one of the chairs here in the dining room and picked a pandesal.

I took a bite in the bread while staring at the distance.

Why was Keian like that?

I felt like that I’m the reason for that…

” Nassandraaaa,” I blinked twice when Diego waved his hands in front of me.

” H-Ha?”

” Here’s your coffee. Are you sure you’re alright?” I took the cup he gave. Wait, he’s so fast at making coffee…

Or it’s just because I’ve been staring at the wall for too long that I didn’t notice the time passed.

” I’m really alrigh— wait.” Diego stopped sipping and glanced at me.

” Why is the house so… quiet?”

Almost every day, at this time, all of those who are living here in the mansion will be in the dining room. We’re eating together…

But other than Diego, no one is here with me.

I know that all of our friends slept here last night…

I got even more confused.

Diego chuckled and continued drinking his coffee.

” They all drank liquor yesterday night. All of them must be still asleep.”

Wait. They all drank yesterday? Why? Why didn’t I know that?

Well, I think because Keian and I are doing something yesterday night.

I shook my head.

” Oh my ghad, Nass. Are you going crazy?” He asked with a bit of overreacting. I smacked him at the back of his neck.

” You’re so OA.” He sighed and ate the bread that he filled with jam.

” I’m just curious why you are like that.”

” It’s just that Keian asked me earlier if I have something I need to tell him, and I said I have none because there’s really nothing I need to say to him. Then he became cold to me and left the room.” I explained to Diego.

His eyebrows raised as he thinks of a reason.

” Hmmm— Ah sh8t, you don’t know?!” He asked with disbelief at me.

” If I knew, would I overthink what happened?” He rolled his eyes at me.

” You should know, Nass. You are his girlfriend.”

” Just tell me why…” He let out a sigh again.

” You don’t know that it’s Keian’s birthday today?” I froze at what he said.

What…?

I got up to my feet when I realized Diego is right.

” Shems! We even talked about his birthday the other day!” Diego just laughed at me while I suddenly became nervous.

“Good luck, Nass.” He stood up and patted my back before going out of the mansion with his cup of coffee in his hand.

I put my hand on my temple.

How could I forget his birthday???

Huhuhu.

I need to say sorry!

I wonder where he is?

I first went to his study to see if he’s there, but he’s not, so I tried to find him in the whole mansion.

The others are still not really awake? It’s so quiet in here!

I looked for him outside the house and in the headquarters.

I asked a lot of Keian’s men, but they said they didn’t saw him…

Huhuhu.

Because of my determination to see him, I visited every part of the mansion and even their property outside the house, even in the cabin in the forest.

With pouting lips, I went to Zeke’s room.

I opened his door without even knocking.

” Nass?!” Zeke sat up and checked who disturbed him.

” Ugh, please, not now. My head’s aching so much.” He even held his head. Katie’s also sleeping on his bed.

I went to the room’s curtains while wondering. I moved their curtains to let the sun enter the room.

” What the f—?” Zeke cursed.

I’m still thinking to myself when I approached the two of them and sat at the bed with them.

” W-What, Nass.” I slightly pushed Zeke to make space in the bed.

” What’s your problem, girl? I don’t know if I should be irritated that you and NIc became best friends. Even Kei won’t barge in his room like this.” Katie angrily muttered while covering her face from the light.

Yes, Zeke and I became best friends.

” Don’t mind her. She’s not a morning person.” Zeke said to me.

I just nodded at him while looking at him with wide eyes.

” W-What happened, Nass?” Why is your expression like that?” Zeke asked with worry.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Katie even looked at me in confusion.

” Huh? What happened, Nass?” I pouted.

” I forgot that today is Keian’s birthday…” I mumbled.

Both of them became silent.

Then, later on, they said at the same time…

” WHAT!?”

” How could you forget Kei’s birthday, Nass?” Katie sat up and held my shoulders.

” I know…”

” I can’t find him. Do you know where he might go?” Zeke frowned at me.

” He might want to be alone for now. He only goes to Tita Karina’s when it’s his birthday. He doesn’t want to celebrate…” I became sadder at what Zeke said.

Katie elbowed him then gave me her full attention.

” Give him some time, Nass. He’ll come back, and I’m sure he’ll understand why you forgot his birthday…”

What should I do now? Huhuhu.
