"What...? What is i-"

"Sshhh." He told her and waited. And then he heard it again. Footsteps.

"Someone's coming down the stairs." He told her and she panicked,

"What...What are we going to do?!"

Her robe was at the other end of the kitchen, in front of the refrigerator. So was her pair of slippers. The necklace was on the counter and he had a massive hard-on.

"I've got an idea." He put her on her feet, and she hastily pulled up her night dress.

"Get down. Can you fit in there?" He pointed at the cabinets beside them and she opened one.

It was big enough.

"Yes," she said and while she entered, he apologized,

"I'm really sorry for this."

He walked across the classically built colonial kitchen and picked up her robe and slippers, inhaled her sweet scent from the robe before stashing them into another cabinet.

"Jayden?" Mrs. Benson inquired, then turned on the lights.

"Mom." Jayden crossed his hands in front of his manhood then hid behind the center table with the bright marble countertop before she noticed the bulge in his sweatpants.

"Jayden," Mrs. Benson began. She was wearing a long white robe and had a hair net on, "What are you doing here at this hour?" She walked towards him and he dreaded it.

"I came to get a glass of water." He bent over on the table.

"But I told Lara to make sure that you have a jar of water in your room every day and night."

You never did, Lara rolled her eyes despite her uncomfortable situation.

Jayden shrugged.

"I hope she's efficient." Mrs. Benson said and Jayden smiled.

(She's a good kisser, I love her boobs, I love it when she moans, she's responsible for the boner I'm hiding from you, which is softening by the way, thank you very much mother.), he thought.

"Yes, she is. Very efficient." He simply voiced out.

"Good then. Have you given her your Do's and Don't's list?"

"Um, not yet. I'll do that when I get back from dropping off Mandy."

"And what's that over there?"

Jayden anxiously followed her gaze and noticed it rested on the gold necklace he had bought for Lara.

Mrs. Benson walked towards the counter and picked it up.

"This is a very expensive necklace. It must be for Mandy. I'll give it to her when we're about to leave-"

"No, it's not," he immediately said, and she looked at him.

He continued, "Um, it's not...yet. I was going to give it to her this morning."

Mrs. Benson had a wide grin plastered on her face,

"Wow! Jayden. That's incredible. I really liked her the minute I saw her. She's beautiful, sassy and sophisticated. The perfect girl. Don't take too long to ask her out or I'll do it myself."

"Don't get involved, mom." Jayden sarcastically smiled and took the necklace from his mom. "You should go to bed now. You don't want to miss your flight."

He gently started pushing her out of the kitchen, and when she was out and realized he was staying behind, she asked,

"Aren't you going to bed?"

"I will."

"So let's."

"I'm gonna make a phone call first so you go on up."

His mother stared at him for a complete four seconds, glanced at the kitchen, then turned to leave.

"Good night." She ascended the stairs.

He waited till she was completely out of sight, then he turned off the lights and rushed to the cabinet Lara was in.

He quickly opened it and helped her out saying, "I'm sorry for putting you through that."

"Don't worry." She straightened her dress, and he noticed her fallen strap.

He wanted to rip her dress off, put her back on the counter and finish some good work but he put the fallen strap back in place.

"My robe and slippers," she mentioned, and he went over to the cabinets at the other end and delivered them to her.

"Come to my room." He said, which gave her a tingling sensation. "No one will notice or interrupt. We can talk there."

Talk indeed, Lara thought. She knew that if she followed him to his room, he was just going to do her dirty.

They had risked getting caught in the kitchen but it didn't stop him. How much more his room where they would completely be alone and unrestricted AND, in his territory.

"I can't." She wore her robe, "I need to get some sleep."

His eyes roamed her entire body, and he placed a hand behind his neck and rubbed it.

"Lemme take you to your room then."

She looked at him, "I'm not alone in that room."

When he didn't say anything, she added, "Good night, Sir."

"Wait."

He pulled her closer and kissed her.

Lara found herself easily responding to the kiss, but immediately withdrew from it after realization hit her, and walked out of the kitchen.

"Wake up! Lara!" Katy continued to hit Lara's shoulder until she opened her eyes.

"Katy," Lara mumbled and closed her eyes again, "What time is it?"

"It's 8.30, Lara. 8.30. Did you sneak out or something? What's with the oversleeping?"

Lara sat up and rubbed her eyes. "My sleep cycle isn't at its best."

"You're so lucky Mrs. Benson isn't home, which," She smirked, "brings me to the reason why I'm here. SHE HAS TRAVELLED. AHHH."

"Really?" Lara asked, before she remembered Mrs. Benson saying something about a flight to Jayden.

"Yes! She won't be here for three days! We're all super excited! Hurry up and take a shower. We're waiting for you." Katy said and left the room.

Lara got out of bed and took a shower, got dressed in her uniform and left her room.

She entered the dining room where Brie was pouring Mr. Benson a cup of coffee and his eyes were glued to the morning paper.

"Good morning, Sir."

Mr. Benson lifted his head from the paper and smiled, "Lara, how's it going?"

"Good, Sir."

Mr. Benson was wearing a white T-shirt with khaki trousers.

"Lara's also a very good singer." Brie told Mr. Benson after making his coffee just the way he liked it and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Is that so?" he asked and took a sip.

Lara glanced at the hand on his shoulder and at him. Brie was oddly free with Mr. Benson.

"I don't mean to blow my horns but I did win some musical contests back in high school."

Mr. Benson laughed and nodded.

Brie continued, "She LOVES Taylor Swift's songs. Utterly."

"Some boy break your heart, Lara?" Mr. Benson asked which generated an uproar of laughter from Brie, the maids who were in the adjacent kitchen and Uncle Sam, who had just entered the dining room in a blue shorts and a blue tank top.

Lara joined in on the laughter and shook her head.

"Okay, let me hear your voice, then." Mr. Benson relaxed in his seat and Sam sat in the chair on Mr. Benson's right. Brie and Lara were on his left.

"I'm a little cranky right now-" Lara began to make an excuse but they all groaned in protest.

The maids were now standing at the dining hall entrance and Ella moved in carrying a tray of bacon and eggs, with toast, juice and water for Sam.

He smiled at her, and she smiled back, standing beside him.

"Okay, okay." Lara laughed and cleared her throat, "Here goes."

"Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again even if it's just in your..."

She stopped and smiled, "There."

Everyone stared at her, dumbfounded.

Even Mr. Benson put down the paper, and Sam put a hold on his eating.

"Incredible," Mr. Benson complimented, and Brie said,

"I told you so."

"D'you know, Sam here," Mr. Benson turned to Sam, "is an amazing singer. Sam, show her what you got."

"Jared." Sam turned to his brother-in-law, "I'm eating."

"Sam, don't embarrass me. Show her what you got." He said once more.

Sam hesitated, then smiled.

"Baabyy I'm, dancing in the dark," He began and was surprised when Lara blended in,

"With you between my arms," they both sang, "Barefoot on the grass, while listening to our favorite song." He held her gaze, "When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful, I don't deserve this, darling you look perfect tonight."

The entire room was as quiet as a cemetery.

Mr. Benson was the first one to give a comment. "Wow. I'm blown away."

"Right?!" Brie said right after, with her mouth still hanging wide open.

Katy walked in, "You guys are the perfect duo!" She applauded hysterically, "You should write your own music. Get famous, ahh!"

Sam laughed, and Lara shook her head. However, Sam had surprised her.

He was an excellent painter and had excellent drawing skills. Who would have thought his talents didn't end there.

"Maybe we will." He replied Katy but his eyes were on Lara, and Ella noticed.

Brie decided to mention, "There is LIFE in this house when Mrs. Benson isn't around."

"Brie." Lara looked at her sternly for making such a comment in Mr. Benson's presence, but he overlooked it and sipped some more coffee.

"Excuse me while I go tidy up her room," Brie said and walked out after Mr. Benson had nodded without looking at her, and Lara followed.

"What was that about?" Lara asked as they climbed the stairs.

"What?" Brie studied her nails in oblivion.

"The whole buttering up to Mr. Benson."

Brie took her eyes off her nails and looked at Lara, "I was doing no such thing."

"Oh please, that comment you made, I know you. If it's what I'm thinking, don't go down that road or-"

"LARA." Brie raised her voice which nearly frightened Lara, "I'm being nice and trying to be grateful to this man who has helped me and my family in ways you can't imagine, and you're here making bad assumptions. Don't you have other things doing? Oh,"

Brie came closer and added, "How are THINGS with you and Jayden? Don't answer that. We'll find out tonight during the sleepover." She smiled mischievously,

"Me, you, Katy, the twins and Dana. We always have sleepovers whenever Mrs. Benson isn't around. It's a tradition now, and we play truths."

"Okay," Lara said when they were in front of Jayden's room, "We'll see what happens," she said and entered his room.

Brie walked down the hall to the other end and entered Mr. and Mrs. Benson's room.

Lara walked in slowly and sat on his empty bed.

He had left very early with his mother, Mandy and Michael, his male friend. Michael's wish to take her out hadn't seen the light of day.

Jayden had already laid his bed and his bedroom was absolutely clean.

She wondered why he had gone through the trouble of it when he had her, his personal maid.

She checked the bathroom and the balcony. All clean. He had sent his clothes to the laundry room.

Lara slowly walked out of the balcony, still wondering why he had rid her of the trouble.

She couldn't get last night out of her head. She couldn't stop thinking about what they had done, and what they would have done if they hadn't been interrupted.

She walked out of his room after about thirty minutes of simply strolling, lying on his bed, and reminiscing.

Just as she began to descend the stairs, the doorbell rang.

Since she was the closest to the door, she yelled, "I'll get it."

She turned to her left after descending and opened the door.

Standing before her was a young-looking man with light brown hair, chestnut brown eyes, and a smooth face.

"Hi, I'm here to see Brianna," he said.

Lovely British accent, Lara thought.

He was wearing a dark green jacket over his black shirt and blue jeans with brown boots.

"You are?"

"Pierre. I believe we haven't met. I'm Brianna's brother."

"Oh," Lara voiced out, "I see. Please come in." She held the door open for him, and he walked in with his hands in his pockets.

"This way," She walked towards the hall where visitors were sent to first, "Though, I'm sure you already know the way."

"It's been months, but yes, I still do." He followed her and sat down in the chair she had gestured.

"Do you want water or juice or coffee or-"

"Water's fine, thanks." He smiled.

"Excuse me." Lara smiled back and went into the kitchen where some of the maids had gathered.

"Brie's brother is here?!" Katy and Dana shrieked, as well as Tess, who wasn't a part of Brie's 'squad'.

"How do I look??" Katy asked Dana and Tess as she straightened her uniform, and they did same.

Dana retrieved the tray that Lara had put Pierre's glass of water on,

"Please let me send it to him. Let us send it. You go call Brie."

Lara agreed after seeing their desperation and headed up stairs to let Brie know that her beautiful brother was here.

Lara walked down the hall, towards Mr. and Mrs. Benson's room where Brie was cleaning up and it was the first time she had gotten so very close to it.

The door wasn't shut tightly so Lara pushed it gently.

"B-" She began to say and froze. Her heart jumped right into her throat without warning.

Brie was naked and on Mr. Benson who was also naked, with an erect penis which Brie was riding, fast.

They were both overwhelmed with passion that they couldn't hear anything else apart from their groans and pants, which they tried hard to minimize.

(Lara just found Brie and Mr. Benson screwing their brains out. What's going to happen next??)

(Here are the images of Mr. Benson and Sam, the uncle)
