-WANTING THE KISS?-
Ella wanted to step out looking all natural and staff but she changed her mind. She was here for revenge which she wanted to do in the shortest time possible. She has to intrigue them and get to them as soon as possible.
She did her mascara and did a red lip. Red is always her colour and this took her from zero to a hundred in seconds.
As she walked out of the door, she realised that their bedrooms were next to hers and this made her smile a little. She was definitely going to use this against them.
Ella walked into them seated at the dining room. She could see the way their eyes literally undressed her but she did not want to pay attention to that. Not yet. She was here to eat and go back to her room to prepare for her first day of work.
" How do you find this town?" Zayn asked her.
" Tell us, we know that this is your first time in Evermore," Carlos added.
" I love it. It's so magical," Ella said, forcing a smile.
They went on and on asking her questions as she ate. She hated answering them but what other choice did she have.
At the end of it, she took her plate to the kitchen. She was about to load into the dishwasher when a lady in her fifties came to stop her.
" You did not need to do that. We are here to serve you," She said.
" Um-okay," Ella said.
" By the way, my name is Purity, the housekeeper,"She quickly introduced herself.
" I am Ella, the new stylist," She said.
" Nice to meet you Ella. You really sound like a nice girl. Are you from this town?" Purity asked.
" No, I am new here," Ella said. She really wanted to cut the conversation short but it was not happening.
" No matter what you do, don't be involved romantically with the brothers. I wish you knew of what they did to Andrea,the stylist who was fired. I warned her but she did not listen,"Purity said bitterly.
" You don't have to worry about me, I will be fine," Ella said before walking away from the kitchen. She had a long day and she desperately wanted to sleep.
" I have to go," Ella told the brothers who were tossing over something. They were already drinking some fancy whiskey.
" Not so fast, come, share a drink with us," Arthur begged.
" Let the girl go, I don't really think that she drinks," Zayn jumped to Ella's defence.
" Actually, I do drink," Ella lied before going to take a seat at the table. The brothers were shocked but not Carlos. He quickly got a glass for her to drink.
After two rounds of drinking, Ella decided that enough was enough. She was trying to force herself into doing something that she is not. She really hoped that it would make sense. She was not about to change who she was for nothing.
" I think that I have had enough. Carlos, please take me to my room. I don't want to end up in someone else's room and warm their bed,"Ella jokes. She was so tipsy.
Carlos was happy to get her to her room. Zayn really felt a type of way. He thought that she was going to choose him but it turned out that he didn't.
" What the f**k!" Zayn could not hold his emotions when they left.
" Zayn calm down,this is just a game. Play your game and let's see who wins," Arthur said and even if Zayn was bitter he had to. He however promised himself that he was going to do all that he could to make Ella want her.
He has never won their bet and he really needed to.

Ella was singing all the way to her room. Clearly, she had so much to drink.
Carlos was such a gentleman. After he got her to her room, he helped her change into her nightdress and tucked her in bed.
" Thank you," Ella said but that was not all that he looked forward to.
He leaned in close, so close that their noses were touching. He was about to kiss her when she looked away. Never! She was not going to allow it.
" You need to go," Ella said and Carlos walked away, locking the door behind him. He was used to this. Girls pretend not to want kisses and then end up crazy about him. This was not new. Soon, Ella would be the one begging him to kiss her. The tables will be turned.
As soon as he left, Ella got out of bed and went to lock herself inside. She didn't manage to walk back to her bed. She sat on the floor and fat tears started falling from her eyes. She hated the brothers. They were always having a bad time yet her sister is dead as we speak. They didn't have any guilt whatsoever and it was sickening.
It really hurt her. She did not know if she could really do this without the constant crying thanks to the pain it caused her.
Ella kept on crying but eventually she wiped her tears away. She had chosen this life. It was not going to be a bed of roses, she had to really do her best. If she doesn't take them down, who will?
Ella picked herself up from the floor and got rid of her makeup, after that she went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. She really needed that. She changed back to her pyjamas and went to lie in bed. There was absolutely light at the end of the tunnel. She really loved her job and she was going to use it as a distraction from reality. She looked forward to having a nice first day of work. She knew that it would be epic. She had trained for this specific moment.

Carlos came back to his brother's and drank even more.
" She is so naive," He said.
" This makes the game easy. I think a week and a half is enough," Arthur said.
" Yes. I agree. Remember, we brothers come first before w****s. Therefore, we can't lose ourselves in the game," Carlos gave the instructions.
" Of course. " Zayn agreed. This is his chance to win Ella and prove to his brother's that he can be so good at his game.
" Best of luck everyone," Arthur wished all of them before they drank to it.

The warm rays of the morning sun fizzling through the grey curtains is what woke Ella up. She drew the curtains, did her morning routine and was off for a new start. The doors of the brothers bedrooms were indicated with letters hence she did not have a hard time finding Carlos' room.
She knocked on the door hoping that he was going to get it for her.
Carlos who was still sleeping heard the knock and he was so shocked to find Ella at the door, with a short sunny dress that left her sexy thighs out.
" Hi Ella, how can I help you?" Carlos asked. He really hoped that she was back for the kiss as he had predicted.
If he wins her then this game will come to an end and they will go to the next girl.
She is really making it pretty easy.
" Can I come in?" Ella asked.
" Yes, of course, come in," Carlos said and he was pretty sure that he was going to win the bet.
