On my way to Mrs Ranolds house I enjoyed the chirping of a few robins on oak trees and the fresh Petrichor that a good night's rain offered.

As I sipped on my coffee I felt a strong push from my shoulder causing me to hit the ground face first with the hot coffee smudged all over my satin cream blouse which i got for a damn good price!

With my neat bun a chaotic mess now I was about to give the bastard who ran me over a shit load of hell straight from the devil's office

"Congratulations you ignorant piece of...." before I could sent this stranger to the flames of hell I felt a palm on my waist and the most seductive voice created by the angels

" Sorry I didn't see you there senorita " staring up to find cemented abs sculpted by the Greek gods themselves.

My mouth dried and my voice had disappeared. This stranger had black hair glistening in sweat dripping onto his perfectly shaped nose and ocean blue eyes, his lips a seductive curve.

I swiftly composed myself and sweeped some particles of dust from my charcoal maxi skirt and flats.

"I'm fine it was nothing...just....uhm. ...extremely hot coffee!" I grinned painfully

His hand was still on my waist but his eyes weren't on my face, I followed the direction of his eyes to find him smirking hungrily at my chest

" shit! Wha....What...why are you looking there you pervert? " I crossed my arms around my chest and stepped out of his grip

"You've been staring at my chest and abs for a long while now hermosa and i felt like repaying the peasantry" he rose his brows slightly

This man has no shame at all besides who the hell jogs wearing nothing but sweatpants and trainers!

I huffed before slightly pushing him on his muscled chest to the side and walked off. I had a job to do and didn't have the time to acquaint myself with that gorgeous bastard.

"Hermosa! Wait" he called out to me

I ignored him and continued walking until I felt a pull on my waist landing me flat onto wet flesh

"I thought I told you to wait Hermosa..." His breath was hot against my cheek

" I don't know who you think you are but..." before I could insult my way out of his embrace he tilted my head slightly and caught my lower lip with his teeth and tugged gently forcing a moan from my throat

He gripped my throat causing a slight squeak to escape my lips

"I am your deepest desires Elizabeth" my pupils dilated quicker than a crackhead sniffing coke. He knew my name how the hell does he know my name?

Before I could ask anything he jogged off laughing into the woods.

Who was he? Why was he here? How did he know my name? Why was he so sinfully attractive?

My mind kept racing making me dizzy...a Buzz came from my small back pack and I grabbed it from my back and took out my mobile to answer a call from Fraya Ranolds

"Uhm hello Elizabeth.....how are you" I could hear her sniffling

"I'm great.... Fraya what's wrong I'm on my way"

"No need to come over my mom..she was found dead in the pool...she drowned Elizabeth !" She burst into sobs

Just my fucking luck the only income that kept me alive for the past year died along with Mrs Ranolds!

Don't get me wrong she was a nightmare I had to put up with cause her kids couldn't bare to see their mother in a mental asylum

I cleared my throat before sending my condolences "er...uhm how...Mrs Ranolds was such a loving lady and treated me like a daughter " more like a slave.

"Thank you Elizabeth for your help with my mother....Noah will drop your last check. Thanks again Elizabeth "

Noah is the butler, a bitter old fat man who spends his days uptight with a stick up his ass
.

What am I gonna do now?

The walk of unemployment had a different feel to it, lack of confidence and all i need is my warm coffee and a long bath.

I walked back to the café and knew for a fact that Raggie would have a great workout on the abs once he found out I am added to the statistic of unemployment.

"Elizabeth darling back so soon to waste pennies on bland coffee?" Raggie smirked as he laid out a fresh cup of my "beverage" on the counter before taking a good minute to examine me

"You look awful what ran you over and forgot to kill?" He lifted a questioning brow

"If you must know Mrs Ranolds kicked the unfortunate bucket by drowning in her pool this morning " I said sighing heavily

"Ah Mrs R finally huh?" I gave him a scawl "c'mon Elizabeth lets face it she never liked you and made high school hell ever since you dumped her son James for who was it again.....Oh me" he grinned knowing that James Ranolds was a pain in the liver and was way too serious so I did what any sensible...well possessed is more like it, teenage girl did... lie I had feelings for Raggie to get that entitled spoiled brat off my ass.

"I see your getting your daily kicks from my misfortune as usual "

"Your cheap kicks is what I live for Elizabeth darling " as I was about to admit defeat and potential bankruptcy I received an e-mail from Fraya causing a slight frown

Raggie as nosey as ever leaned over the counter to peak at my surprising e-mail

"What does it say?"

"Elizabeth I know my mother's passing left you out of work so I contacted another family in desperate need of a psychologist

The Shaw family are having interviews tomorrow for a suitable doctor for their son who suffers from split personality disorder

I urge you to try your luck tomorrow morning at 10:00 along Mabel street the last house along the woods

Good luck

Your friend

Fraya Ranolds "

"Well there you go!" Raggie said enthusiastically. That only meant he was thinking about the fat pay check I'd be receiving if I land the gig

"I'd better get home and rehearse. I need to nail it" I grabbed my coffee and back pack... making my way out I heard Raggie call

" remember to wear your business suit Elly!"

"Yeah"
