Hot Coffee (The Hollens)

Chapter 10 ( Capturing Moments)

Emma's POV

Though I was supposed to be off on the weekends, I did minor cleaning here and there just to keep myself occupied and ahead while Halley rested.

My mind kept on reminiscing back to what happened last night. Mr. Hollen kissed me! He actually put his priceless lips on mine. I didn't know how to kiss him back, I had no experience and was caught off guard. What if I had drooled on him or bit his lips? I'd just stood there, afraid to react.

It was the beginning of a new week. I was in the living room cleaning the coverings on the chairs when Sharon appeared with a bundle of bags. She tossed them onto the chairs I was supposed to clean.

"Put these in the closet for me. Don't ruin a thing with your filthy hands." She went upstairs, heels hitting the polished marble as she walked.

That woman is so... 

There wasn't a word to describe her. She was going upstairs to where the closet was, why couldn't she just put them there herself?

I picked up all six bags and carried them upstairs to Mr. Hollen's room. I placed each item onto the hangers and carefully into the closet. She had so many designer clothes, shoes, bags and purses.

She watched, dressed in a white bathrobe, as I arranged the items in the closet.

"That's for when we visit the Bahamas." She broke the silence in the room.

I smiled but continued to arrange her clothes.

"We're getting married there," she continued.

An ill feeling came over me. A sharp tingle ran through my veins and popped off in my head. Married? Did I hear her correctly? How could he?

I plastered a fake smile on my face. "Congratulations."

"I don't need your congratulations," she rudely snapped and left.

I angrily placed the remainder of the clothes onto the hangers. I didn't care about creases anymore.

When I was through with that, I went straight for my room without doing anything else for that day. I heard Halley calling for me but I'd intentionally locked my door and completely ignored her as I read a book. I was on the last chapter of the novel when his voice came from outside my bedroom door.
