Alarm rings

6am .

Lucia jumps out of bed after putting off the alarm .

She said a very short and simple prayer before running into the bathroom .

She took off her nightie and dropped it in the laundry basket there .

She took her toothbrush and toothpaste from where it was kept on the counter and brushed her teeth making sure it shone in the mirror .

She turned on the tub before getting it and started scrubbing herself clean .

After making sure she was filthy clean , she stepped out of the bathroom and collected the towel and dried her body with it before tying it on her body and wrapping a smaller one over her head .

She stepped out of the bathroom and hang and opened the wardrobe and got a blue penciled skirt that stopped at the knee and a blue chiffon flair top with a V neck and some shiny golden flowers at the rim of it ..

She took off her towel from her head and dried her hair with the dryer before combing it .

She parked her hair in a messy bun and left few tendrils to dangle at the front. .

She attached a blue pin flower to the edge of her hair before applying nude makeup to her face and lip gloss to match .

She wore a blue flats to complete her dressing before picking a bag to match it. .

She checked the time and it was 6:30 am and smiled at her smartness .

She opened the door and walked down the stairs to the kitchen .

She knew nobody would be awake now. .

She walked into the kitchen and switched the light bulb on and was shocked to see Lucien also entering in .

The glass Lucien was holding fell down and shattered into pieces as he stared at Lucia .

” You look beautiful ,” the words found its way out of his mouth. .

Lucia smiled as he looked at Lucien who was dressed in a blue tuxedo with some yellow designs ..

” Good morning , what would you want for breakfast ” Lucia asked getting the broom and parker by the door side which she used in sweeping the glasses that had broken there.

” You .. sorry I want Toasted bread and tea ” he said slightly embarrassed making Lucia chuckle as she got to work. .

” Thanks for the job , I do appreciate ” she appreciated sincerely and Lucien nodded .

” It’s nothing ” He said simply before walking out of the kitchen to stop the nasty things he was thinking of .

Lucia brought out the Milk, Milo , Sugar for tea and the Bread , pepper , onions , salt for the toasted bread and began cooking immediately .

….

Lucia hummed to the music coming out of the car stereo system as Lucien drove them to work .

Lucien shifted uncomfortably in his seat as he drove down not happy about the lurking silence .

” Uhmm why did you agree to your ex boss request to woo my secretary .” He asked unable to take it anymore .

Lucia winced as memories of that day came back and smiled .

” Why do you ask? ” She asked him making Lucien groan .Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He hadn’t expected her to ask him a question in return .

” Well the silence is becoming unbearable and I need a topic so that’s why I thought of that ” he answered bluntly without mincing words .

Lucia chuckled at his blunt words .

” Well I felt like helping him out because I don’t have anything to do at home when I close from work ” she said and Lucien hummed .

” And too bad you crashed it ” he said with a chuckle making Lucia glare playfully at him.

” Not my fault tho , I just couldn’t assimilate the events that went on ” she said truthfully. .

” Yeah but I think he is a chicken. What guy doesn’t know how to approach a guy and say the necessary things and flip he gets her ” Lucien said with a proud look making Lucia scoff.

” You think girls are that easy , that’s so petty . Not all girls are that easy as you pose anyway ” she said and Lucien scoff .

” Ok why don’t we see about that. Let’s make a bet ” Lucien said and Lucia eyed him suspiciously.

” Are you in or out ” he asked and Lucia took a deep sigh before nodding.

” You don’t just nod , you say it ” Lucien said and Lucia sighed .

” Fine I am in ” she said and Lucien let out a cocky grin. .

” Ok how long do you think I can make you fall for me ” he asked still facing his eyes on the road and Lucia felt her belly churn.

” Huh ” she asked in confusion.

” The bet , I am going to make you fall helplessly in love with me within two weeks and then you know girls are petty ” Lucien said and Lucia flinched.

How was she to accept this crazy request .

” Then what happens after that ,,” she asked.

” If I win I will give you a thousand dollars and if you lose you give me a thousand dollars ” he said giving her a side grin .

” Fine …. ” She breathed out and Lucien gave her a sweet smile.

Lucia’s heart was already beating because she knew she already felt something for him and this was going to expose her feelings for him

Damn what has she gotten herself into .

” We are here ” Lucien said bringing her out of her reverie and she wowed at the building as she took it on unlike the other day .

Lucia picked her bag and got down from the car and Lucien handed her a card to give to the receptionist for direction and she smiled nervously before walking in .

Lucien parked the car properly as he stared at Lucia’s retreating figure and smiled .

“This was going to be one sweet bet ” he thought as he got down .
