You were Mayte’s best friend. She was married to Prince. Prince was very in love with you. He didn’t want Mayte, he wanted you. You were their maid, working for them 6 AM - 8 PM. You always kept their house clean. No laundry was ever missing, it always smelt soft and clean. No dishes were ever in the sink, always food on the table. You very much respected him being vegan so you always tried to make vegan meals for him.

One morning as you were mopping the floor, he approached you. You heard the soft yet sharp sound of his heels clicking against the tile floor. You look up and before you know it, he pulled you close and kissed you.

Ever since that day, you haven’t spoken to him. You were avoiding him. You didn’t know if Mayte knew. She probably did. That’s why they were fighting. You sat in your room trying to sleep, doors were being slammed as Mayte left the house. He knocks softly on your door and comes in, “Are you awake, darling?..” You sit up rubbing your eyes and nodding. He quickly shed his shirt and got into bed with you.

You hated chest hair. He had chest hair but you tolerated it. He pulls you close, gently kissing your neck and tracing the curve of your spine as he kissed your neck, “Oh how I’ve missed you..”
