The Masters' Maid (English)

Chapter 2

I took all the dirty clothes from my parent's room and my room that morning. I intend to do the laundry before it gets piled up. There is still a lot of work on the farm today and I help my father and older brother plant rice and vegetables. We own a farm and the income is okay during harvest time.

I can't say that our life is luxurious, we are happy when we can eat three times a day. Our mother is not here with us because she works as a maid in the city. She is lucky because her employer is kind. She has two days off, so she sometimes visits here to be with us.

She decided to work in the city to help us with the farm bills as well. She plans to take me as well to work as a maid too. I only finished high school so I think it's the only job I am qualified for. I decided not to go to college since we didn't have enough money for it. I chose not to continue studying since I am not as smart as the others. It would be a waste of money and a burden to my parents and brother.

My father and brother went to the farm first. As for me, I do all the housework. I love cooking too, so I do that, and deliver the food to them on our farm. after getting all that I needed, I closed our house. Carrying the big basin full of clothes, detergent, and bleach, I walked to the river. I met my friend Lyka with her finished laundry. She was happy to see me and immediately approached me.

"Oh, you look happy and excited. What happened?" I asked her and her smile widened even more.

"There's a handsome guy here in our small town, Tina! I saw him while I was doing laundry in the river. He had a camera and was taking pictures. He's so handsome and cool! My panties almost fell off when I saw him!" she said excitedly and I laughed.

"It's a good thing he's here so you can forget about your cheating boyfriend," I said. She got angry when I mentioned her boyfriend who has been cheating on her for a long time. He had a wife and son in the city who he thought was working hard. So that he can save for their marriage and their future family. But there was already a family and my friend was being duped by the guy.

"Don't remind me of that fool!" she angrily said and I apologized. She smiled again and told the story of the man he saw near the river.

According to the gossip she caught, he was from the city. He is here to take beautiful pictures of nature. My friend also informed me that the guy built a tent in the shade of a big tree near the river, so he was camping there. She was excited when he greeted her and asked where was a good place to take pictures.

"Oh my gosh! Aside from being handsome, he's even nice. It makes me fall in love! He's not like other rich city snobs. But I know my place, he doesn't like innocent, province girls like us. We are dark-skinned, while women in the city are white like porcelain. We are just like trash to them." she disappointedly said. I shake my head.

"Don't say that. Some people in the city are kind. Just like where my mother is working right now. They treat her like a part of their family."

"Well, your mother got lucky." I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah... I wished I could work with her. She's getting older you know." I sighed and imagined that I was in the city. It's my dream to go there and maybe meet a gentle and loving guy who will care and take me as I am. "Lyka, don't be jealous of the women there. Do you know how they can afford surgeries for them to look prettier? But, we have this natural beauty that no one can beat. We are both beautiful, and we are wife material already." she giggled.

"You're confident in saying that because you're the most beautiful in our town. You always won whenever we held a beauty contest in our place."

"Joining those contests is gone for me. Besides, you're the one who has many suitors." she laughed this time, a blush staining her cheeks. "Wait, where is the guy you are talking about?"

"It's somewhere near the river. He has a tent there under a big tree. He's currently taking pictures. Hurry and you might catch him. Show your charm!" she said laughing and I just shook my head.

I said goodbye to her and walked to the river. In the big tree that my friend was talking about, there was indeed a big tent under it and things were set up on a table outside it. But the man from the city was not there. I continued walking and saw the clear water of the river. There was no one there, and it looked like I was the only one left to do the laundry. That's better so I can have the river all to myself. ,

After I finished washing and laying out the clothes in the sun, I couldn't resist taking a bath in the crisp water. Our river here is clean and clear that you can even see the bottom of it. I decided to swim since I was the only one there.

I'm only wearing a thin duster and I'm not wearing a bra, there's no one around so it's okay. I enjoyed swimming in the clean and not-so-cold water of the river. I had soap and shampoo in my pocket so I washed myself up. I also have extra clothes so I can change into the small hut that is on the side of the river.

I was surprised when I was swimming, I saw a guy on the edge. His camera is pointed at me and I can hear the shutter sound of it. So I know that he's taking pictures of me. I immediately plunge my body into the water where my head is the one on the surface. My duster is thin so my breasts and underwear on my bottom are quite visible.

I immediately covered myself with my arms and hands. Looking closely at the man, he is tall, his body is lean and his muscles are obvious even though he is still wearing clothes. He had no facial hair and was undeniably handsome. The young men here in our barangay don't even compare to him. I am not familiar with him and this is the first time that I have seen him. This is probably what my friend is talking about. What is he doing here? And is he taking pictures of me?

"Uhm, sorry miss, I can't stop taking pictures of you. You are so beautiful, like a water nymph floating in the water, he said with a gorgeous smile plastered on his lips. He came closer and my heart started to beat fast. He's breathtaking as I am seeing him this close. He is also tall, with broad shoulders and not tanned skin. He's like the models I see in the magazine or on TV, but better. "I'm really sorry, I'll delete it if you want." I stared at him and didn't immediately answer. I could see and feel that he was not a bad person so I smiled at him.

"Next time you should tell me if you're taking pictures," I answered. "Also, you need to ask permission to take pictures of people in this place. You might get beaten up here if they find out that you are taking pictures of them without their consent."

He just stared at me and I swam closer to him. He followed me with his eyes. "Do you want to take a swim too? You can join me. The water is not that cold.” I happily said, inviting him into the water. He didn't react and just stared at me. "Are you just going to stare at me, Sir?" I asked with a hint of playfulness in my voice. He blinked and his forehead furrowed.

"Sir? Hey, I'm not old yet. I think we are close in age. Please don't call me, Sir, it's too formal."

"Okay... I was inviting you into the water to swim. This is more natural than your pool in the city."

"Wait a minute, aren't you a mermaid who lures handsome men and drowns you after? I don't want to risk it." I was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud. I saw his sweet smile, which made me happy. I am satisfied with my life in the province, but I really dreamed of having a boyfriend from the city. Apart from being handsome and rich, they are also s*x experts, according to my friend. I'm still a virgin, and I'm already 22 years old.

I also want to experience something like that and my friend said that it is mind-blowing. She also said her s*x always gets full with his ex-boyfriend's juices and it feels amazing according to her. That's why I'm curious, and if I want someone to be my first, I want someone like this guy in front of me. That's why I'm flirting with him like this, I might get lucky. Even if I can't have him as a boyfriend, just experiencing that pleasure with him is enough for me. At least I have experience in s*x and I will know what to do if I ever get married.

"What? You're imagining things. I am a normal human being." I said, laughing and swimming close to him. I slowly stood up and noticed him licking his lips. I approached him and held out my hand. "I'm Poppy, by the way." He first looked at my hand, and then he accepted it. I gasped when I felt like electricity flowed through my hand, so I let go immediately. I looked at him in wonder, and now he looks at me more strangely. It was as if his eyes were shining and his red lips were slightly parted.

"You are human..." He said. He blinked a few times and then laughed. "Sorry, I can't stop staring at your beautiful face." My face warmed up and I slightly touched her arm.

"It's fine, but I won't be swayed by your compliment. But thank you because you think I'm beautiful." I shyly said. "What are you doing here? There are many beautiful places here that you can take pictures of, besides me.” I teased him and we both laughed.

“Do you know many places? Can you guide me? If I go far I might not know the way back. That's why I'm a bit hesitant. I'm Jagger, by the way."

"Your name is weird but it suits you." He laughed. "I can accompany you. It's better to have someone with you and others might hurt you or steal from you. But only when I finished work."

"Do you have a job?" I shook my head.

“No, but I do all the housework. I'm doing laundry right now, and I'm just drying the clothes. My father and brother work on our farm and I take care of them. I'm not married though, so you don't have to worry."

"You don't have a boyfriend yet? That's impossible. You're so beautiful, Poppy."

"Well, I'm not that fair and pretty just like those girls in the city. They are sexier and more sophisticated. Unlike me, just a province girl." I hugged my hands and arms to myself because I felt cold. I guess he noticed this so he took off the jacket he was wearing and wrapped it around my wet body.

I shyly thanked him and he smiled. I was stunned when he grabbed my chin and lifted my face. We stared at each other and this man's eyes were like a magnet drawing me in. My whole face and body got hot as our faces came closer.

"A woman's complexion and body are not the basis of beauty, Poppy. Like you, you are already beautiful, and kind." He grinned and I swallowed as his hand wrapped around my waist. "Can I make you my model while I'm here? You look like a goddess with all this nature around you.” I blinked and licked my lips. "Don't worry, I will pay you for working for me."

“Really? You want me as your model?” He nodded. "Are you sure? I might ruin the pictures you take.”

"No, I will be having fun doing this. Capturing your angel-like face through my lens as you glow, lighting up everything around you. Please say yes, Tina, I will pay you a lot. I don't want to miss this chance. You are one of a kind... Please..." he begged as he stared at me with so much desire. I thought for a moment and then nodded. It's my chance to get close to him, and at the same time, I will earn money. Why not, right?
