The day had flown by... At this hour, Nicolas was miraculously finishing his homework in his room... Elisa was with Helena in the backyard, breathing in some fresh air, and Gloria, as always, was wrapping up the dinner preparations.
(Blake narrating...)
I remember as soon as I opened my eyes, feeling disoriented. At first, I thought it was five or six in the evening, not nine at night... As things gradually stopped spinning around me, I realized I was nearly naked, simply wrapped in a bath towel. I looked around my room and everything seemed as usual... My clothes were in their proper place, as were my belongings, except my cell phone was under the pillow.
What on earth had happened here?
I wondered... When I set my feet on the ground, I experienced such dizziness that all I could do was run to the toilet and throw up...
Having recovered from the nausea, I looked at myself in the mirror and the reflection wasn't great. I looked pale, with dark circles under my eyes...
I turned the shower back on and stepped in... There I stood for a few minutes until I felt my strength returning, albeit slightly.
It was only upon opening the bathroom door that I was confronted with a sight that I must confess, stirred my deepest and darkest instincts.
As I emerged from the bathroom, still wet, I looked ahead and saw Miss Helena on her knees on the floor, to be direct, she was on all fours, back to me...seeming to clean something that was there..
For a brief second, I just watched her. Despite the overly strong temperament, she did have her attributes.. Her body was well-proportioned with tempting curves, topped by a pert backside that any man in my position would have already squeezed.. Her long, defined legs gave a certain elegance to her... Now I have to admit, what really got to me was her gaze... Helena had the same look in her eyes as Julliane, the hair color I so loved, and perfectly shaped lips that I found myself wanting to kiss more each day... but why the hell? What was happening to me? After all, it had been only four days, a mere four days since she had been here and she'd already acquired this immense power over me... No... looking in the mirror I still told myself... no, you fool... not her... she's just the nanny...
Helena was squatting on the floor of Mr. Blake's room cleaning up a puddle of vomit he had left there, completely unaware that he was still present.
Blake left the bathroom and upon seeing her there, didn’t let the chance slip.
"What are you doing here, Miss Helena?"
The surprise was so great she almost fell onto the puddle of vomit.
"Ah!... Good lord, Mr. Blake, are you trying to kill me?"
He cracked a smile.
"What are you doing there?"
"Can't you see? I'm cleaning this up... Judging by the look of it, I don’t even need to ask if you are feeling better... you seem to be..."
Blake glanced at the dirty floor and appeared embarrassed.
Without a second thought, he yanked her up by the arm.
"Leave this, Miss Helena... I will have someone come clean it later..."
"But I haven't finished... you can't just leave it, right?" she said, facing him.
With a sarcastic smile, he told her.
"Yes... you are right..."
In an impulsive move, he ripped the towel from around his waist to cover the dirty floor, leaving him in boxers.
Helena felt that strange sudden heat surge through her body again...
Blake was now standing near his closet, arms crossed.
"Oh my god... Mr. Blake, I need to go..."
"Helena... wait..."
"According to the etiquette manual, page 3, line four, at nine o'clock sharp Nicolas should be seated at the dinner table, that’s my duty to fulfill..."
Watching her, Blake couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
She quickly left the room, wishing to never return to that bedroom again...
As soon as Helena left, Blake returned to his bed, put on shorts and a white tank top, and picked up his cell phone. There he saw five missed calls: two from Stuart, one from Mia, and three from none other than Megan...
Rolling his eyes, he tossed the cell phone on the bed and left his room heading for the dining room.
