Her Innocence novel Chapter 13

Janet Rivera's POV

Will he like it? Or not? I don't know why am I nervous. I wanted to impress Nathan with the new dress he bought me. And I was freaking out because I never knew how to impress someone. I always wore those rags that didn't even cover my body until that women bought me some decent clothes when I was about to get married.

I once again looked in the mirror and smiled as I remembered him being extra sweet with me. I went to the kitchen and saw Lydia making some cupcakes. I ate the delicious cupcakes and send Lydia home since it was afternoon and there was no work.

I waited and he came home, finally. He unlocked the front door and came in. I felt my heart beating twice just by looking at him. I watched him walking as he looked tired today with his hair ruffled and his arms dangling lazily on his sides.

"Hey Janet, can you make some green tea. I am having a headache." He said those words and walked right beside me. I frowned as I watched him walk away. Sadly, I went to the kitchen and prepared a tea for him. When I entered the bedroom, he was already asleep, with his formals on. I was upset that I dressed up for him and he didn't even look up at me. But maybe, he must be really tired. I kept the tea on the side table and stood right beside him.

My eyes went to his shoes that were still on his feet. I kneeled down and took his shoes out gently and slowly, trying not to wake him up. Then his socks came second. I was about to pull on the duvet over him when I noticed his white coat on.

Should I take it out?

I leaned closer to me as I unclipped two of his shirts' buttons while I felt goosebumps all over my body. His body was strong and perfectly shaped as his shirt fitted his muscles. Then I rolled his sleeves, making him feel comfortable as I felt myself heating up. I, lastly pulled the duvet on top of him and laid beside him, staring at him. He was so in deep sleep that he didn't even flinch while I changed him. I felt sad knowing that he didn't notice me and what if he only thinks me as a maid.

No, he can never! My mind was swirling with thoughts and soon sleep consumed me.

"Janet?" I hummed and I felt a hand on my shoulder gently shaking me.

"Dear, wake up. It's 8 in the evening." His voice soft as he whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes as I watched him giving me a small smile. I sat up as his hand slipped away from my shoulder giving me goosebumps.

"I'm hungry, I didn't even eat lunch." He said patting his stomach as he chuckled. I turned away and faced the other side as I frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"All you care about is food. I am not a thing that you keep in your house, I'm not a maid that I cook for you, I'm a human being and I have feeling, you can't just every time come home late. This is-" I said everything that was on my mind in a mere voice but got interrupted by him.

"Now dinner please." He pleased as he pouted his lips and I laughed, heartily.

"Of course." He stood up with me as I went to the kitchen as started to heat up the food that was made by Lydia and me. His stood near the door and kept watching me as I placed the food on the stove and turned on the heat. It was done in 15 mins as Nathan helped me with placing the dishes. He sat on his chair and scooted my chair closer to him and then I sat with him, blushing stupidly.

He once again started to teach me as I was getting better than before. I could read the words, the easy ones but not that quick. In the middle of my studying, we were done with food so I kept all the dishes on the sink and washed them as Nathan insisted on helping when I only let him to dry the dishes. We were back on the dining room as I kept reading.

"Nathan, what is this word? F-r-e-q-u-e-n-t." I asked as I tried to pronounce it but couldn't. "Nathan?" I called him but he didn't answer me. I got confused as I turned to look up at him to find him already looking at me.

"Nathan?" I called him again, in a low whisper.

"You are so beautiful." He said staring right at me with his eyes sparkling as his voice sincere. I couldn't help but blush and lower my head. I felt his hands on my cheek as he bought my face to his level.

"Never hide your face from me." He leaned so closer that I could feel his breath. My heart was thumping and I was afraid that even he could hear it. I, in a sudden, closed my eyes as I thought that he would kiss me.
