The first thing my eyes saw was a sleeping Niall, that same face like yesterday and I noticed that we were very close to each other again until I realised that his arms are wrapped around my waist again as the pillow between us got crushed, almost as if yesterday's scenario repeated, or maybe I just dreamt about yesterday and this is the real day or I don't even know.

As much as I liked the feeling of being inside his arms and his warm breath touching my skin, which makes it a little weird or strange, it's my second day being a maid and I don't want to be late and make a bad impression. I slowly lifted his arms from my waist and it was such luck that he wasn't moving nor realising that someone was moving him but all of a sudden, our alarm clock rang throughout the whole room and I guess Irish might have been alarmed that I heard him start to bark from the outside. Niall's eyes peeled open and he lifted his arms away from my body and searched for the ringing device, I saw him turn it off then throw it on the floor and I heard a little crash and I'm guessing that he might have broke the new alarm clock we bought yesterday, right before we bought it, he told me that he was never really fond of alarm clocks and he doesn't really mind going to work late nor early, and now I can really see his hatred towards the poor clock. He then lied down once again and close his eyes and we were back to our previous position wherein his arms were on me, I started to wonder if yesterday wasn't actually the first time he embraces me in his sleep because it actually seems like it's become a habit of his to wrap his arms around me, how could I have never felt? How could I have let this happen?

"Niall, your arms!" I shouted, I swung his arms violently then slapped him on the face. He may have felt the sting which made him open his eyes then gasp right after, I sat on the bed while looking at his red cheek that I slapped and he seem to mimicked me when he sat on the bed too while caressing his cheek. He looked up to me with confusion but I returned a frowning face, his expression soften until he looked down, maybe remembering what his previous action was. "Can you tell me since when did you started to do that"

"Do what?"

"Since when have you started to hug me while you sleep and make it a habit?!" I was raging with anger in such an early hour, the alarm clock rang like 8 minutes past 8 o' clock in the morning. Niall knows how I'm still uncomfortable with his touch nor any other guys' touch because I'm still uncomfortable around guys, and I found out that him embracing me was a habit that I have not known of, I may have over reacted on this but seeing him do this to me yesterday and today bugs me because someone's touching me while I'm asleep, plus Niall's a guy and no matter how much he assures me that he's decent, a guy is a guy, a girl's body will always be on his mind and while I'm asleep, he may have been touching me in inappropriate places.

He sighed and his eyes was still glued the floor. "It's been a week since I started to do that but I haven't done anything inappropriate, I just did that since-" he looks frightened when he looked up, I don't know wether he's still thinking of a lie as an excuse or he's just afraid to tell me what the real reason is but I just want him to spill out the truth. "-you've been moving wildly the past nights and that I just thought of doing that so I can lock you on that position" I got up the bed and headed out the room. I may have enjoyed the warm embrace but still, I think it's highly wrong to just do that when he knows I'm off guard and unconscious, I'm still not comfortable around guys.

I made my shower very quick and dressed up in a simple shirt and leggings and worn a coat since it's freezing cold outside, just by looking at how the trees sway. It was a good thing that Niall was outside the apartment, probably taking Irish out for a wee after holding it throughout the night, back when we first met, he told me how Irish doesn't like to pee nor poo inside the house which is why whenever he wakes up, he needs to take the dog outside because he might have been holding his fluids for the whole night. I went outside the room and Niall was back, along with Irish, but I didn't gave it much attention and so I proceeded on doing my hair just by tying it in a simple high ponytail, just like yesterday, I wasn't in the mood for having hair on my face while walking in the cold streets of Dublin. All was set and I was ready to go, I didn't brought anything since I don't even own anything. As I was about to head towards the door, I stumbled on Irish, it caused damage for the both of us but I was more concerned to the dog.

"Irish, are you okay? I'm so sorry" both Niall and I have an experience on stumbling over on Irish, I didn't saw him because he was so small. As I told my concerning statement, Irish replied by just snubbing me and walking away from me, well at least I know he's okay and can still walk.

"You look... Beautiful today" I heard his Irish accent which made me look up at him, he was holding two plates with toasted bread on it while we locked our eyes. I broke our eye contact and faced away from him, I guess I can tell that my cheeks were blushing but we all know that blushing is involuntary, I didn't did it on purpose.

"Shut up, it's so early in the morning for you to fool around, plus I don't have money" I was ready to leave when I took a step forward until he asked.

"I don't get what you mean about the money, and don't you want to eat first before you go to work? I cooked some-"

"There's no reason for you to compliment me because I don't have any money to pay you for that and I'm not starving!" I exclaimed then ran outside until I got into the lift. I sighed while I got off and exited the building until I found myself in the sidewalk.

I know it, I can feel it, it's coming back and it's getting near, kind of explains why I was a little flirty the other day and suddenly all moody right now, I better go buy those white things while it's not too late yet. I was a little mad at Niall because of him hugging me, but it's not like I liked the feeling but it just bothers me that a guy was touching me the whole night, I know I can trust Niall and probably he isn't a pervert but even though, I still don't like the fact that someone actually lays a finger on me without my notice. But on the other note, I can't help but feel flattered on what Niall said, I looked around me if there were any people but to my luck, there were but they seem to be minding their own businesses and so I put my hands on my face and internally screamed, was I really looking beautiful today? Glad I can make a handsome guy complimenting on my looks but I guess... He might have just told that to start a conversation with me or get my attention or to reassure himself that I was not that mad to the point when I'm not talking to him again. Oh mood swings, you make me go crazy, oh wait... I already am.

"Ohayou gozaimasu" I greeted a good morning once I opened the glass door of "Cup of Cafe" where Minalinsky is seen to be serving the early birds, not realising what I just said, my eyes widen and I was officially awake by the time, all my effort to say that Japanese greeting was wasted since I said it on the wrong job. "It means Good morning in Japanese" I mouthed, hoping that someone who got confused on my words are enlightened once I told the meaning. I went straight to the personnel's room to change into the maid attire then got out to find a bunch of customers already sitting on every vacant table that I saw earlier.

"Maid Mahamari, can you please help me serve the orders?" Minalinsky went up to me to ask that dumb question, I shouldn't probably answer because I'm an employee here for a reason, I just ignored her and grabbed a tray from the counter and served it right away to the said table, I hope she can read my body language so I don't have to explain to her that I wasn't really in the mood right now. I went to a table where two gentlemen were chatting and having a sip on their coffee.

"Two mango cakes?" They nodded as a reply and I set down the orders on their table. "I am Maid Mahamari by the way, and I would be your maid for today, if there's any concern, please feel free to call for me" I said with a polite smile and I looked at them and their eyes were glued onto me, as if they want something from me or is it just because I'm tensed because of the fact that a man is staring at me which makes me feel uncomfortable.

I soon got away right after and continued to serve customers but I noticed while I was serving them, everyone seems to stare at me, it's much more weirder because you can really sense whenever you move, someone will always look at you and the weirdest part is that they will smile so big and bright right after I introduce myself to them, I know people here are really polite but... I just really feel so uncomfortable.

"Hey Minalinsky!" I called on her while she advertises the shop, since there weren't so much dishes yet, the maid Alicia, that I haven't talked to yet, helped out on serving customers. Minalinsky turned to look at me with a questioning look but then smiled like how the customers were smiling at me earlier. "Stop smiling at me! If you really are a body language expert you'd know how uncomfortable I am right now, and that smiling at me isn't helping at all!"

"Someone's moody"

"I'm not!" I exclaimed but then covered my mouth, it was a good thing that it wasn't that much loud for the customers to here. I didn't know what everyone is smiling at and I'm afraid that it has already visited me again and that I made a huge red spot behind me that I haven't even known yet which is why I came to consult to Minalinsky. "Is there a stain?" I asked and turned around for her to tell but she simply laughed as she covered her mouth.

"Silly, everyone's just looking at you because they find you really endearing to look at, I can sense that luck is coming your way today, better be polite to everyone you serve" she told me, then continued to advertise outside and as I was looking around at the street, I happened to saw Niall with Irish, making their way upstairs to the music shop, I turned around then got back to do my business.

A few hours passed and the incoming customers were nonstop, if a person leaves, two other people will come over, Cup of Cafe is such a famous coffee slash bakery shop, even with a simple business like this, Mr. Styles must be living his life like a millionaire. Mr. Styles called me and handed a tray with a platter of strawberry shortcake and told me to serve it to the indicated table number, I obeyed and followed him. My eyes wander around and I saw Minalinsky from the distance with a smirk on her face, then winked before we cut our eye contact, I still can't get over the fact of how weird she is. I set the order on the table, the customer was a woman with such elegant clothes, like the ones you see on fashion shows, she was browsing through her phone on some dresses and stuff.

"Strawberry shortcake?" I mouthed and as she looked up, her jaw dropped as well as her phone when she looked at me. She didn't replied so I just set the order on her table and surprisingly, she got up and banged the table that shocked me a little. Everyone inside the cafe were looking at us, I've had enough of this kind of scenarios now.

"You!" She said and pointed a finger at me. "What is your name, young lady?"

"I- uhh.. Vi- Maid Mahamari at your service" I slipped on the part when she asked me about my name but nonetheless. Her arms flew and caressed my cheeks then she suddenly slapped it that made me yell from the sting. "Beautiful, wonderful, extraordinary! A Minalinsky 2.0" my eyes widen and everyone around us stopped on what they were doing, I saw Mr. Styles approaching me and the lady and I heard everyone gush, things were weird, I don't even know if I'm awake yet. "To this day, I tell you, that she is now Legendary Maid... Mahamari" she declared and my eyes were twitching but it got a lot weirder when everyone around stood and gave a round of applause, I took a step back to process what even is happening at the moment but then Mr. Styles bowed and I saw Maid Alicia and Minalinsky bow too well I stood there, clueless on what even is happening.

"May I introduce to everyone, Legendary Maid Mahamari" Mr. Styles announced and everyone cheered and clapped louder, what now? "Go get changed" I felt something tickle my ear only to realise that Mr. Styles whispered and I flashed him a confused look but then Minalinsky took a hold of my arm and we went to the personnel's room.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked her once we got inside.

"You're now officially a Legendary Maid, congratulations, second day on your job and you already got a promotion" she said then opened a closet full of maid uniforms but with much grand designs and accented colours, they were shorter than the usual maid uniform, she told me to go pick one uniform and I picked something with a red accented colour and then she told me to go inside the fitting room to see if the uniform fits me.

"But I don't get it, how?!" I queried while trying out the new uniform.

"I forgot to tell you but the customers has the power to announce a Maid to become Legendary Maid too, but this happening is very rare so I didn't bother to tell you about it. Mr. Styles say that talent isn't the only key to become a legendary maid, if you can charm the customers then you past the test" I sighed, and just got changed quietly, well at least I won't get to wash the dishes anymore. "Plus, that person earlier is our regular, she's a fashion designer and how lucky it is that you were able to ace her standards, she said that you look really beautiful by the way"

"Ugh, I've been getting that from everyone lately, there's nothing special in my face isn't it?" I asked as I got out of the the fitting room and saw that the uniform was a perfect fit. Minalinsky just giggled and left my question unanswered.

When I got back to work, everyone was congratulating me for the promotion and Maid Alicia and I actually made our first conversation, she's a bit weird too but funny in a way. Newly arrived customers were shocked for suddenly having two legendary maids.

A little while later as the customer frenzy slowed down, I heard that familiar cheerful voice radiate the cafe with a polite greeting coming from Minalinsky as he said his order advanced, Mr. Styles didn't hesitated to put the food on a plate and on a tray, he then asked me to go serve it to him right away. While I was walking, I notice that it was only three of them, Louis and the twins, Louis' eyes wandered around until he saw me and his eyes widen, I gave him a confused look and just disregarded it and approached their table.

"The usual" I put it down their table and as I do so, I can feel their eyes glued on me. Unexpectedly, I felt a hand touch my clothing and I squealed, only to find Louis examining my uniform.

"Since when did you became a legendary maid?!" He asked.

"It was only earlier, not a big deal. Legendary Maid Mahamari at your service by the way" I introduced before Louis even says my real name. He nodded then took a plate then proceeded to eat, I saw the twins do the same while I stand there and observe their actions. "Where's... Niall though?" I asked, a bit worried, he's one who's always up to eat but he's nowhere to be found, and I guess he wouldn't decline on Louis' request to have a snack but, I just wonder why isn't he with them. Probably because no one would guard the shop or he's teaching one of his clients, but still.

"He said that he wasn't hungry but I guess he's just a little upset and confused on something personal" I pursed my lips and thought about on what Louis said, maybe I'm worried about Niall that he might have felt bad about himself because of me and that he thinks that it's better if we don't see each other for awhile, I don't know, it just seems like it's very un-Niall like for him to do this. "Maybe you should go and bring him some food in the shop" Louis said while he shoves the piece of cake on his mouth.

"What are you saying? Why would I do that? This shop is already lacking some employees and I don't have the time to go bring him food upstairs, if he doesn't want to eat then let i-" I was cut off when I felt someone behind me, I turned around only to see Minalinsky with a smile and a tray on her hands then she handed it to me and I gratefully accepted it.

"Go" she told me, I didn't knew what she meant at first but when I saw that piece of paper on the tray that has a plate of cake, I know I had to serve it all the way up in the MezzoForte shop just to give it to Niall.
