Being Mrs Spence

He showed her the room that she will be spending the night.

She thanked him as he closed the door behind her and walked away.

After few minutes there was a knock on the door. Florence opened the door and saw Bianca, the housekeeper.

she stood smiling with some folded materials in her hand.

“Sorry to disturb you ma’am, Mr Max said i should give all this to you. Check for a perfect night wear that suits you…

Florence thanked her before collecting the materials.

She took the clothes to the bed, selected a cuddly night wear that smells of Maxwell fine fragrance.

She put the clothe to her nose and inhaled with her eyes closed.

She placed it on her chest and wrapped her hands around it.

The night wear was unique, and cuddly. Is nothing close to her usual pjamas or those sexy nighty that Cole usually buys for her.

This particular one was special.

Florence separated it from the rest, she put away the others before going to have her bath.

She was very eager to wear the nighty, it has a small inner before the overall robe that covers up the body.

It was so warm and inviting.

Maxwell was waiting and looking up the stairs, hoping she will come down for dinner.

But after 30minutes and he didn’t see her, he thought of going over to knock on her door.

As he took few steps, he changed his mind and turned back.

“She probably needs rest… Let me leave her to be.

He said to himself. He turned off the television and was about going to bed when he heard her room door opening and closing.

He waited and smile as he saw her coming in a beautiful night wear.

“Flox, I almost thought you were asleep and do not need to be disturbed. My believe is that you have gone to bed already…

Florence smiled and replied.

“You wanted me to sleep in an empty stomach? Is that the way you treat your visitor… that’s so unfair. What of that food you specially made for me, my Japanese pavatin or palliative. Can’t remember the full name. Have you finished it…?

Maxwell laughed out before saying.

“Is called Japanese chicken curry pavatin and is still available and specially waiting for you. Sit here let me take the honor of serving you tonight. I will go and warm it up a little, is more enjoyable that way.

Florence sat on the dining and within few minutes Maxwell served her and she began to eat.

“Oh my goodness, Max… this is really delicious. Wow, what are the ingredients and how did you prepared this. The taste is absolutely great. I’m definitely making it ones I return back to my side.

Maxwell told her everything she needed to know about the food and even promise to prepare it again in her presence.

Florence ate up the full plate. She made attempt to pack the plate but Maxwell stopped her.

“Let me bring the remaining one for you… I’m sorry I didn’t make it much since is for you alone but I will do better next time..

“I’m so fed right now. I know I don’t supposed to eat this much… at this time of the night but I couldn’t help but finish it. Max, if I stay here one months I will definitely fat up…

Max smile as he cleared the table. When he retuned back, he sat beside her.

“Do you want to talk about what happened earlier that made you react the way you did. What was it that broke you down today Flox? If you don’t feel like sharing then is fine by me alright?…

Florence told him what happened and apologiesed for how she reacted.

Maxwell was a good listener, he took her hand into his and reassured her that all will be well soon before releasing her hand.

They talked about other things, crack jokes and laughed.

They later paused, stared closely at each other.

Maxwell looked away to the woodart wall clock.

Florence followed his gaze.

“Is late, this is 11:23pm. I guess is time for you to go to bed since you will be going to the office tomorrow. Except you want to take a day off tomorrow and rest, I will pay you for the off day. But if you have some important office work to tidy up tomorrow… then is okay…”Maxwell said.

He looked at her again like he had something troubling his mind.

Florence stood.

“You’re right, is late. I need to go to bed now. I have to be at work tomorrow, I can’t afford to loose the high praises and recommendation that I have been getting at work. I’m strongly believing for more appraisal and not a scold. During the early time of my marriage crisis, I had a serious rough time, even got two weeks suspension at work. I’m happy that I have been able to overcome all of that. I want it to get more better…

She started walking towards her room, Maxwell followed her behind silently.

As they got close to her door, he turned to her and said.

“Flox, I… I had a lot on my mind I want to say but, I don’t want you to feel like I’m taking advantage of you or the fact that you are at my place. I… uhmm.. never mind. Goodnight Flox…

He tries to walk away but Florence stopped him.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Florence wondered what exactly was bothering him so much that he can’t say.

She decided not to give it much thought.

“Max, I appreciate everything you have been doing for me. Thanks for the delicious pavatin, thanks for accommodating me tonight and for this coozy night wear, I love it. Goodnight… Max.

Maxwell did not reply or say anything. Florence was about opening the door when Maxwell intercepted her.

He gently drew her into his body and planted a kiss on her lip at first before kissing her intensively.
