Glass was scattered all around me. I had fallen when I was trying to clean the windows and I had taken a glass shelf down with me. My phone was still ringing and my legs and hands hurt from their impact with the floor. My shirt and cut off jean shorts were ripped in several places. I'd have to clean this mess up.
The door flew open to the den as I reached for my phone. A man stood before me, his brown hair messy but clean, dark eyes that were bright with fear and kindness, and his face was chiseled with all male structure. The guy looked like a fucking model. And here I was a simple house assistant who had nothing special. My body was never anything special.
His eyes scanned over me and the glass around me. In two long strides be was kneeling infont of me asking "Are you alright? What happened?" He had a Southern drawl. I nodded and said "Yeah I'm okay. I fell trying to clean the windows and I knocked the shelf down when I fell. I... I'm sorry. I didnt know anyone was still here." The agency was so going to fire me when they found out about this.
His eyes trailed down to my legs "Your bleeding."
I followed his gaze and stifled a groan. A large cut run up my thigh. It didnt look deep though. He held out his hand and said "Come on. I dont know where Rush keeps the first aid but I have one in my duffle bag. Your gonna need stitches."
I hesitated but I took his hand. He helped me up and guided me downstairs. He walked me into the bathroom and left to get his first aid kit. Blood streamed down my leg. All of a sudden the door cracked open and a little girl slowly walked in stumbling just a little. She started to fell and I reached out to catch her.
Her eyes were beautiful. I had never seen anything like them before. They were rich hazel with gold around the irises. She had brown hair that was barely long enough to be pulled back by the blue scrunch in her hair. I lifted her into my lap so she didnt get any blood on her blue sundress. Was this his daughter?
I bounced her on my good leg as I reached for a towel to wipe away the chocolate ice cream around her mouth. The man opened the door and stopped when he seen me with the little girl. She turned to him and reached out. "Ucle Mase" She said.
He knelt down again and gently took her. He set her in the tub and cleaned everything potentially dangerous away from her before he turned his attention to me. "Is your name Mase?" I asked.
He smiled as he doused a rag with alchohol. "Yeah. Mase Smith. I'm watching Beth for my brother-in-law while my sister sleeps and he runs an errand." He said as he took one of my hands and held the rag to my leg. I hissed and gripped his hand tightly.
He took the rag away and grabbed his phone and some self adhesive bandages from his bag. He dialed a number and began wrapping my thigh.
"Liz. Hey are you free at the moment? I need you to watch Beth till Grant gets back. I'm at Rush's place. How fast can you get here? That's great. Please hurry. It's an emergency." He hung up and finished bandaging my thigh then lifted beth up and helped me to the door. Mase grabbed a bag from the kitchen and opened the front door.
