Kim's POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, with out even looking at the caller Id I answered it

"H-hello" I said sleep still laced in my voice

"Hey honey!" my mums voice came through the speaker. I jolted out of bed and cleared my voice

"Hey mum how are you?" I asked looking at the clock next to the bed that read 8:00am Cheryl had nothing today so she said I didn't need to wake up early

"I'm good darling how's your business doing?" she asked

"Oh business is great mum! excellent actually" I lied and there was a knock on the door and it opened slowly showing a very happy Cheryl

"Good morning" she whispered and I smiled

"Who was that?" my mum asked

"Erm ah oh that was j-just my worker" I said looking away from Cheryl just before seeing her smile drop

"Oh you're working early today! you work so hard. I'll leave you to your business, speak to you soon" she said happily

"Speak to you soon bye" and I ended the call, looking at the black screen afraid to meet Cheryl's eyes

"Kim?" she asked still standing by the door

"Hmm?" I asked still not meeting her eyes

"Kim look at me" I slowly raised my head to be met by her beautiful chocolate orbs that were full of concern and worry

"Who was that" she asked

"My mum" I whispered

"Do you want to explain what I just heard?" she asked softly

"Not now I just need a minute" I got up from my bed and walked into my ensuite closing the door behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror.. I'm such an idiot! how could you be so stupid Kim! how was I to explain to cheryl that my family thinks I'm some sort of successful business owner not a maid working for people! you dug a deep hole Kimberley.. good job kim really! idiot! I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt a tear drop to my chest, my life is a big sh*t hole that I am living in.

"Kim" Cheryl said softly as she knocked on the door

"Cheryl please not now" I said and I couldn't help but let a sob escape my lips

"Kimba please open the door" she said sweetly sounding worried. I cleaned the tear tracks away from my cheeks and fanned my face trying to not look like I was crying, I went over to the door and opened it

"Come here" she said opening her arms and I fell into them and I bursted into tears as she embraced me and the sobs that I was holding in escaped

"Sh it's okay Kim" she tried to sooth me rubbing her hand up and down my back trying to comfort me

"I-I'm sorry" I sobbed into her chest. Cheryl walked us over to the bed still telling me soothing words to get my hysteric crying under control. My sobs finally died down and my breathing was beginning to get back to normal

"You okay?" she asked running her fingers through my hair

"Getting there" I smiled weakly

"You want to talk about it?" I nodded

"I'm sorry Cheryl" I started and breathed in deeply before continuing

"My life is f*cked up" I laughed even tho there was nothing remotely funny about the situation. Cheryl didn't say anything and I was guessing because she wanted me to continue

"My family thinks I'm some successful business woman.. little do they know" I said

"What do you mean? so they don't know you're a.. you know" I think she was embarrassed to say it

"A maid? no they don't know.. you see I come from a family of wealth, and after the age of 18 my family told me I had to go make my own money and become successful myself just how my mother and father built their own success, so I left Bradford at the age of 20 to come to London and make something out of myself.. and look how I turned out.. nothing to what my family expected me to, so I had to lie" I said looking at Cheryl and I could tell she understood where I was coming from

"I understand" she said smiling sadly at me

"I don't expect you to.. I come with a lot of baggage, it's never too late to back out now" I said with a awkward laugh

"Kimba stop talking stupid" she pulled me into her and I rested my head in the crook of her neck

"Kimba?" I asked with a giggle

"Yeah Kimba, you don't like it?" she asked giving me a quick squeeze as her arms were wrapped around my waist

"No I actually quite like it" I said

"Good because that's what I'll be calling you" she smiled

"Give us a good morning kiss" she asked pouting her lips

"Oh so demanding" I laughed before giving her a soft lingering kiss

"Better?" She asked

"Better." I replied

"I feel like treating you today! let me make you some breakfast" she said before getting up

"Chez it's my job to do that" I said following her out of the room

"Not todayyyy" she sang as we went down the stairs and in threw the kitchen

"What you in the mood for?" she asked all happy and giddy

"What can you make?" I asked sitting on the island stool

"Um... toast, and some really good tea" she said proudly and I couldn't help but laugh

"Alright go on then make me some toast and tea" she clapped her hands and got started with my breakfast

"So Kimba what is it that your parents do?" she asked after popping the toast into the toaster and flicking the kettle on

"They own a lot of businesses and some hotels they're really good at what they do" I replied

"I know I'm being nosey but I really want to know a lot about you" she said shyly

"Okay how about this after you make my breakfast we can sit down and you can ask me all the questions you want.. and if I am a bit uncomfortable with the question I won't reply. deal?" I asked going over to her and putting my hands on her hips

"Deal." she smiled

"But just because I don't answer the question doesn't mean I won't tell you when the time is right, or when I'm ready" I leaned foreword and kissed her nose and she giggled

"You're cute" I said with a smiled

"You're cuter" she placed her arms around my shoulder and kissed me on the lips ever so delicately and I kissed her back, the kiss became heated and her tongue ran along my bottom lip begging for entrance I opened my lips slightly granting her access and our tongues danced together and we swayed back and forth in the kitchen loving the attention she was giving me with her beautifully powerful kiss a moan escaped my lips from the effect of her kiss and she pulled away slowly before it got any further and gave me one more peck on my lips

"Babe?" I said

"Yeah?" she replied looking at me with love

"You burnt the toast" I smiled back at her waiting for her to register what I said

"Shit!! Kimba why didn't you say anything" she said running over to the smoking toaster and popping up the toast

"Well you said you wanted to make me breakfast" I shrugged with a smirk

"Cheeky cow!" she pierced her lips at me with her eyebrows furrowed

"You get only tea for acting like that" she said

"It's okay I'm really not that hungry anyways" I giggled taking the cup of tea from her hand

"Come on babe let's go out to the garden" she said putting her hand out for me to take it and led us out into the garden. It was a beautiful day the breeze wasn't too hot, the sun was out. It was perfect. She walked passed the garden patio set and the pool, walking over to the lake that mesmerized me

"Dock?" I asked already knowing the answer

"Yeah, I know how it calms you. We can talk with a peaceful setting" she said with a little blush and I wrapped my free arm around her waist pulling her into me kissing her temple sweetly

"You're amazing" I smiled at her, she snuggled into my side and we walked on over to the dock, setting our mugs down before sitting down and dipping our feet into the cool water. We sat there for a bit in a comfortable silence enjoying the view, everything was so quite. As if we were in a different world

"Shoot" I said Disney breaking the silence looking at her she was still looking off into the distance with a relaxed smile on her face. She slowly turned to me studying my face before asking me the first question

"Do your siblings know about your job" she asked taking a sip of her hot tea. I shook my head in reply

"They also think I own a business" I answered

"Don't they come up and visit you from time to time?" she asked stroking my knee and I smiled at her affection towards me

"Yeah but I used to live with my b-boyfriend I mean ex-boyfriend" I suddenly got overwhelmed with bad memories of his. I shook my head mentally trying to take out the images of his dirty hands on me

"How long did you and your ex-boyfriend date for?" She asked softly. I think she knew this was a delicate subject for me

"3 years" I whispered looking away from her and down at my tea that I have been holding between my hands

"So what kind of business do your parents think you own?" she asked changing the subject which I was grateful for

"A corporation base where a group of businesses or industries that take an important part of which economy, pretty much a business that helps improve the economy.." I started laughing

"I chose to tell them a lie that is a pretty big lie, I couldn't just say I owned a small bakery or something" I shook my head at my stupidity

"Why didn't you tell them you owned a bakery then?" she asked

"Because they would have laughed in my face, I wouldn't have heard the end of it.. 'John Walsh big entrepreneur, big time owner of Walsh Hotels has a daughter that owns a bakery' yeah right.. let them know now that I'm actually a f*cking maid, I'll never hear the end of it" I shook my head sighing loudly

"What is it that you really want to do Kimba" she asked rubbing my back

"It's stupid" I said looking at my fingers

"I'm sure it's not, go on tell us" she moved closer to me wrapping her hand around my waist and pulling me into her, I placed my head on her shoulder looking off into the beautiful deep blue water taking it all in before I said what I have been keeping sealed away

"I want to own my own restaurant chains one day, I also love musical theater I've always wanted to open my own school and help kids find their passion, also get kids off the street and be a mentor to them. help them become better leaders for the future, get them away from the street gangs and the drugs. Just be someone they can look up to.. I know it sounds stupid but it's always something I've wanted to do. Just make a difference for someone. Be someone. Anyone. Just a person that they can look up to and say 'I want to be just like you when I grow up' but as of now.. I'm just invisible to the world. I hope to one day fulfill my dreams and goals, but as of now.. it's just a dream that's been pushed to the back of my mind, sealed and locked away from anyone and everyone. Because when I once voiced my dream everyone laughed in my face and squashed my dreams for me" I said looking up at Cheryl finding her in tears

"Babe why are you crying?" I asked wiping her tears with my thumbs stroking her cheek with the back of my hand

"Kimba listen to us okay?" she said turning to me and looking at me

"No one! and I mean no one, can control your life! you're in control of your own actions! you want to be something or do something you go and do it! your dream is not stupid! it's beautiful and inspiring! and whoever laughed in your face once is an idiot! because they are oblivious of the fact that you're a wonderful person always looking out for others! I want you to be the best you can be! I want to be standing next to you when all your dreams come true! don't let anyone ever tell you you're not good enough! you're a hero in my world! and it's about time that the rest of the world sees what you're capable of! do you understand me?" she said holding my hands in hers in a serious but soft tone. I nodded my head letting the first tear trickle down my cheek and she leaned forward and kissed my tears away

"I want you to be happy" she whispered as she leaned her forehead against mine

"You make me happy" I sniffed

"No one has ever spoke to me like that before" I added smiling shyly

"Everyone that was in your life was an idiot! they didn't know what they had" she said stroking my cheek. I leaned forward and kissed her softly. A spark ignited within me, something I have never felt before. I was happy.. in that moment Cheryl was making me feel things I have never felt before. I felt loved.
