🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭

“You can do this” Deanna said to herself trying to calm her nerves as she stood before Damon’s door. She took in a de-ep breath and started practicing a speech on how she would introduce herself when Damon opened the door.

“Good evening.. Am Bonnie” she shook her head “That sounds lame”

She cleared her throat and straightened up “Hi am Bonnie and am your new maid” she stuck out her ton-gue “That’s dumb”

“Good….”

The door opened interrupting Deanna and she froze at the sight of Damon. He studied her from head to toe and his gaze fell on the glas-s of milk that was sitting on the tray Deanna was carrying. He took the milk without saying a word then entered his room and slammed the door shut at her face.

Deanna’s jaws dropped “What the-?” she huffed loudly “My first day at work is pretty bad”

Deanna sighed but didn’t move from where she stood. The door opened again and Damon appeared at the door way with the glas-s cu-p he had taken earlier, empty. He replaced the glas-s cu-p on the tray and walked into his room then shut the door again at her face.

“Rude” Deanna cussed and walked out.

Deanna walked into the kitchen and met Jessica, one of the maids doing the dishes.

“Lemme guess” Jessica said when Deanna walked into the kitchen looking gloomy

“You won’t believe it” Deanna said and kept the glas-s cu-p in the sink
“Damon was arrogant right?”
“He’s more than arrogant” Deanna huffed loudly “I can’t believe I’ll be working as his personal maid”
“Cheer up Bonnie.. Damon is arrogant and that’s usual” Jessica said “You’ll get used to it”
Deanna sighed and started arranging the wash plates in the drain board.

“The first lady won’t be plea-sed if she sees you in the kitchen”

“Why?”
“Cause you weren’t as-signed here. Every maid has a duty they’re as-signed to and you aren’t allowed to interfere with a duty that you weren’t as-signed to” Jessica explained

“But Damon doesn’t nee-d me”
“You have to stay close to his room in case he nee-ds you”

Deanna sighed and st©pped arranging the plates “Am not sure i can do this”

“I know it’s really stressful but beggars aren’t choosers”

Deanna shrugged “Maybe.. But I hope on being a chooser someday”
“We all hope for that.. Now run along to your master’s chamber”
Deanna laughed “I hope I don’t die while serving my master”

“You won’t” Jessica grinned wi-dely and Deanna walked out.

Deanna took in a de-ep breath and knocked on Damon’s door. Damon opened the door and stared at her quizzically. Waiting for her to spill whatever trash she had to spill.
“Oh.. Actually.. Am Bonnie”
Damon raised his brows in an I-don’t-even-care way.

“Am your new personal maid” she went on and f0rç£d a smile with white, sparkling teeth.

Damon nodded then walked inside and slammed the door shut.

“Oh! LORD! Help me” Deanna prayed with her hands up in the air. The door opened immediately and only Damon’s hand appeared at the door way. He gr@bb£d Deanna’s hand and dragged her in.

“Thank you for finally letting me….” Deanna trailed off as she admired the beauty of his room “Your room is ‘wow’ ”

“Were you employed to admire my room?”

“No” Deanna replied and straightened up

“Can I ask you a favour?” Damon asked and Deanna’s heart skipped a beat. What could Damon want from her?

“Go on” she managed to say, but her heart was actually screaming ‘NO!!!’

“Have a sit” Damon said
Deanna stared at the sofas in the room but couldn’t make up her mind to sit on any.

“What if I get it stained?” she asked
“Then you’ll wash it” Damon replied and said “Sit down”. This time it was more like a command than an offer. Deanna nodded obe-diently and sat on one of the sofas. Damon walked to the sofa opposite hers and sat down, facing her.
“promise you’ll grant my request” Damon demanded

“I can’t promise that”
Damon frowned “I want you to resign from your job”
“Is that your request?”
“yes”

“but why? I just started at the few hours ago”
“What’s your name again?”
“Bonnie”

Damon nodded “Bonnie, I don’t want a nanny, am too old for that”
“I wasn’t employed as your nanny. Am too young for that”

Damon frowned “How much are you being paid? I’ll double your pay”

“No”
“Then I’ll triple it”
“Still no”

“Then I’ll pay you seven times your pay for your whole life time”
“I don’t want to resign” Deanna stated

“But I don’t want you to work for me”

“Then tell the First Lady, cause I don’t want to work for you either”
“Listen! I’m really really rude and you can’t handle it”

“But I can manage”
“Let me tell you something if you insist on working as my maid” Damon adjusted on his seat “Am your boss and I have the chance of being nice or super rude, your attitude determines that” he went on without giving her a chance to reply “But most times, am super super rude and I plan on s£nding you away with that”

“I can manage” Deanna stated when he was done. Though she knew she was lying. She couldn’t manage.

Damon shrugged and rested back on the sofa “Get me a cu-p of coffee”

Deanna nodded and hurried out. She returned almost immediately with a cu-p of coffee and a saucer and placed it on the coffee table.

“Black or white?” Damon asked
“Black coffee” Deanna replied
Damon rolled his eyes “Didn’t anyone tell you that am obsessed with sugar? How do you expect me to drink black coffee?”

“Am so sorry” Deanna apologized and hurried out with the cu-p of coffee. She returned shortly with another cu-p of coffee.

“White coffee” Deanna said and placed the saucer on the coffee table

“Why would I drink coffee when it’s late? You want me to lose sleep?” Damon hurled

“But you….”
“But you don’t know you job” Damon cut in

“Am sorry” Deanna apologized and bowed her head “What do I get you then?”

“Just get me tea”
Deanna carried the coffee and walked out of the room. She returned almost immediately with a cu-p of tea. Damon’s eyes were fixed on a newspaper when she returned though he wasn’t re-ading it.

“Tea” Deanna said and placed the cu-p of tea on the coffee table.

Damon dropped the newspaper and took the cu-p of tea. He took a dainty sip and spat out.

“What is this?”

“Tea”

“There’s too much sugar in it” Damon yelled “I’ve got worms young lady so I don’t take sugar.. At all”

“But you….”
“But you don’t know your job” Damon cut in

Deanna sighed and took the cu-p of tea “I’ll make another one” she said and walked out. Immediately Deanna slammed the door shut behind her, Damon bur-st into an outrageous laughter.

Deanna hurriedly drank the tea and made another cu-p of tea for Damon. This time, sugar free.

She rushed into Damon’s room and froze on seeing him standing in front of a full length mirror. He tied only a short towel around his w@!st and his che-st was ba-re, while he dried his hair with another towel. Immediately she barged into the room, Damon covered his ba-re che-st with the towel he was using to dry his hair.

“Why did you barge in? You’ve got no manners at all” Damon yelled
“Am sorry. I had no idea you… Were… I mean… Just….”

“Just shut up Bonnie!”
“I didn’t mean to… I was bringing you the tea”

“And you couldn’t knock”
Deanna shifted her gaze to her feet and muttered “Am sorry”
“Just get out!”

Deanna nodded and she didn’t notice the tears that slid down her cheeks as she walked out. Immediately Deanna was out, Damon threw himself on a sofa and bur-st into laughter.

“She’ll definitely get frustrated” Damon laughed “Let’s see if she can manage”

💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

TWO HOURS LATER

Deanna gazed out the window as the driver drove her home. Her first day at work was one she would never forget. Damon had given her the worse stress in her life and all she wanted to do was resign. But she really nee-ded the money.

She had been too busy that she didn’t even get the chance to see Stefan. Onikka was right when she said ‘you’ll be so busy that you ba-rely know who comes in or who goes out’

The car st©pped a few distance from the Bruce’s ap@rtment and Deanna got down, She didn’t want anyone to know where she lived. Deanna watched the car drive into the night then she took off her wig and walked to the house. She tried the door knob and the front door opened. Deanna walked into the living room and slammed the door shut. It was alre-ady after nine when she got home and the candles were still on. She headed for Moira’s room and that was when she inhaled the smell of burning incense.

“Aunt Vickie?!” Deanna called, walking into Moira’s room. Vickie was sitting on a chair beside Moira’s be-d. Her head was ducked in her palms and she was sobbing quietly.

“Aunt Vickie?!” Deanna called walking close to Vickie
“Thank God you’re home Deanna” Vickie said, looking up for the first time “I’ve been really scared”
Deanna glanced at Moira and was shocked at what she saw. Moira was no longer like a slee-ping human. She had gotten more waxy, her face was grey and her head was hairless, withl-ips shriveled back from grinning teeth.

“What happened to her?” Deanna asked

“I c@m£ in this morning and found her this way” Vickie replied “She’s getting worse Deanna”

Deanna sighed and asked “Did you call the priest?”

“No. Meredith called and exorcist and he said it’s a torment from an evil spirit and Moira might not survive it”

“Then why didn’t he make the evil spirit leave?”

“The exorcist said the power is too strong and it can’t just be ordered out”

“Then what do we do now? Does that mean Moira is going to die?”
“No” Vickie shook her head sniffing “He promised to return with someone who would help”
Tears trickled down Deanna’s cheeks as she knelt beside Moira’s be-d “I wonder how she c@m£ in contact with an evil spirit”

“The exorcist suspects she took in something from an evil spirit and the evil spirit has control over her from her system”

“If that’s the case then the evil spirit was here” Deanna stated “How are we sure it won’t come again for any of us”

“The exorcist thought as much” Vickie said “He gave us some incense to burn to keep off the evil spirit”

Deanna noticed the incense that was burning in a plate on the table. Then she un-derstood why the house had the smell of burning incense when she first walked in.
“There are more incense burning in every room in the house. The exorcist said we have to be very careful” Vickie added

“I don’t like the sound of this” Deanna said to herself. She kept Vickie company for a while before going to her room to rest. Two of the candles in her room had gone out and the last one was threatening to go out too.

Deanna searched the drawers for a lighter and when she found one, she lighted the two candles that had gone out and rekindled the third one.

Deanna took off her jacket and shut her window, she was scared of the thought of the evil spirit returning for any of them. Deanna had a quic-k shower and jumped into the be-d in her pajamas. She said her night prayers and hid un-der the sheets as she drifted into her dream land.
