My employer's wife

Chapter Eighteen

LISA'S POV

      For the past few days I have grown attached to lizzie she reminds me so much of Nicki my best friend and my first girlfriend. She's the first person I have actually allowed into my space. I feel safe with her and at the same time scared.
       I have been smiling often these few days just thinking of her. I tried avoiding her but the more I do, the more I'm drawn to her. The girls adores her too maybe because she sneaks sweet to them without my knowledge.
I saw her coming down the stairs and I couldn't help but stare at her. She smirks when she saw me staring at her. I knew she was going to say something about that.
          You can just take me to bed instead of undressing me with your eyes" Lizzie says just like I predicted
       "You are actually not my type I says backing toward her. She has gotten so flirty these days though I don't complain
       "What's your type then?" I heard her ask. Are we actually having this conversation now.
Make a wide guess I says. I don't know where this me came from cause the me I know won't be having this conversation.
        Well let me say your type is one with brown eyes, maybe five feet tall, sexy, smartass, funny, I can go on if you want lizzie says getting closer to me
          Are you just describing yourself to me? I asked amused
         Well I might she says now finally close to me. She looks me up before settling in my eyes
         You forgot mad I said trying to create distance between us
        That can be added too cause I'm madly attracted to you lizzie says tucking some hair that fell from Lisa face
           You should go and check the kids I said trying to get her away from me. With her so close to me I might actually end up doing something I might regret.
         Why are you always trying to get me away from you? Lizzie says
           Because that's not what you came here to do I said maybe a little too mean. Her face fell but she didn't say anything else. She went to the fridge taking a bottle water before heading upstairs.
I didn't know why I said that. I was so scared that I might do something stupid that I ended up saying something stupid instead. I decided to go and apologize.
         The girls were with her playing god knows what in their room. She saw me and pretended like I wasn't there. she didn't give me that ducky smile or try to flirt. I felt upset, not to her but to myself. She was after all doing what I told her.
        "Hey can I talk to you" I says hoping for her to agree and come with me. I didn't know why her being upset with me really bothers me.
       "I'm listening" she replies not even looking at me
       "like outside the room" I said again. She didn't reply this time, she just got up following me out. I told the girls to play their video game, at least with it they will be occupied while I talk with lizzie.
          What do you wanna talk about lizzie asks Interrupting the silent
             I'm sorry for what I said, I wasn't thinking I says trying to apologise
          "It's fine, you actually made some point. I came to take care of the kids and that's what I should be doing" she replies
           Well you are doing amazing job on it but I like how thing were between us. I mean I like...... I stopped knowing what I was about to say.
       "You don't seems to like me or my presence around you, you made it clear to me a few minutes ago" Lizzie replies finishing what I almost said
          I knew if I wanted her to accept my apology, I needed to be upfront with her and tell her why I said that
         "I was scared of doing something I will regret so I said something I didn't really mean" I says hoping she doesn't push it futher
             And what are you scared of doing? Lizzie asks finally looking at me without that blank look. I was silent for sometime trying to figure out how to tell her
           We stood there for some couple of minutes in silence, she sighs before heading towards the girls.
          Wait I said but she didn't stop so I did the craziest insane thing that came to mind. I grabbed her turning her towards me before smashing my lips on hers. I definitely surprised her and myself too. She stopped holding me while looking at me before a smile appeared on her face. She merge our lips together again, holding me like I was gonna break or disappear if she let go of me and that moment I felt safe, happy and all fear I have evaporated to the air around us.
          After we stopped to take some air between us, I decided to say what has been on my mind
         "This stay between us, I can't loose my family and mostly my girls. I hope you don't fall in love with me. It's just whatever it is" I says trying to let her know what this is
         "Yeah I won't fall in love and you shouldn't too, girls tends to fall for me easily" lizzie says trying to lighten the mood
       "Ah confident, I like that" I says before finally kissing again
