Daisy's pov:
"Are you going to finish the whole of that?" He asked and I turned to look at him.
"What? No! I'm just baking ahead of tomorrow" I replied
"Oh" he muttered and I nodded.
"Do you need help?" He asked and I gasped.
What?
He wants to help me?
"Ah...aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" I asked nervously
"I don't feel like sleeping. Where is the apron?"
Wait...is he being serious about it?
"It's... it's over there" I said, pointing to it's direction.
I was so startled that someone like him would want to do something with the kitchen.
He took of his his shirt to put on the apron and I wondered if he was doing that to intimidate him.
Gosh his muscles were so smooth and his abs...looks harder that a rock. He stared at me and I looked away sharply with my lips folded.
"How do I tie this, the ropes are too long..."
"Oh...Let me help you" I said and walked to him.
I stood infront of him and took the two ropes. I could feel his warm breath fanning my face and it made me feel nervous because there was only a few inches between us.
I tied the rope from the back to the front and then I raised my eyes to look at him...he had been staring at me all this while.
We were both staring at each other and that was when I was able to figure out the colour of his eyes to show you how deep we were looking at each other's eyes then I cleared my throat...
"Uhm...is it too tight?" I asked but he didn't say anything, he just stared at me without blinking.
The air was intimidating and I wondered what was wrong with him.
He slowly closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.
"Are you okay?" I asked in concern and he laughed.
He laughed?!
"What is wrong with you...are you okay?" I asked worriedly thinking maybe it's usual for him then he rubbed his eyes and smiled at me.
"Your face was so funny" he said and laughed a little bit more then I folded my arms with a frown.
How's my face funny? Do I look like a clown?
"What's with the face now?" He asked with a smirk and wanted to touch my chin but I didn't let him.
I walked back to the kitchen table and started breaking the eggs, without saying anything.
"You aren't going to answer me?" He asked calmly and I just rolled my eyes.
"Proving hard to get hun?" He asked and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"What are you even saying? Why do you think my face is funny?" I asked and took a moment to look at him.
"Was" he said with a plane face this time and started walking towards me.
"When?" I asked and took a step backwards.
"In my room" he said and continued walking closer to me with just a step at a time while I took some steps backwards reoccurring what happened.
Oh God! I've already discipline myself not to remember that moment again but now he's reminding me.
Why is he doing this? And why is he suddenly free with me?
"You slipped" he said and raised an eyebrow at me and I laughed nervously.
"Ha ha yes I remember" I said and clutch tight on my apron when he got closer than before.
"I caught you, right?" He asked with a serious face and I felt like entering into the ground.
Did I do something wrong? I thought he said he wasn't mad at me? Now what?
I nodded rapidly and folded my lips in fear.
"But my robe went loose" he said and walked closer again. I took another step backwards and I was finally against the wall but he didn't stop walking closer.
I felt like vanishing but it wasn't possible at all.
"Yes sir it went loose... I'm really sorry please don't hurt me" I pleaded and held unto myself.
I could feel my andrenaline getting high and my palm was already sweaty.
"You saw something didn't you" he raised the tone of his voice a little and I shivered.
"No No, Maybe...I mean No I didn't see anything I swear I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry" I wailed like a baby then he raised his like he wanted to hit me and I screamed...
"Mummy!!!" and I started crying...
(Remember she cries over every little thing)
He surprisingly pulled me to a hug and I cried on his chest.
"Oh Daisy...I wasn't going to hit you... I was just playing with you" he said with light chuckle and stroke my hair.
"I don't like that kind of play...your play is too serious" I said with a sniffed and hugged him in return.
He pulled me closer to himself and I rested my head on his chest as he cuddled me.
"I'm sorry...I won't do that again" he said and pecked my forehead. I batted my lashes and looked at him.
"You just look really cute and funny when you're afraid... it's adorable. I haven't laughed in a long time but you made me laugh again today" he said with a smile with his hand on my chin and I chuckled.
He wiped off my tears with his thumb and muttered...
"Cry baby" he said and pouted making me cover my face on his chest shyly.
"I like this part of you...why don't you show it more often" I said
"I also like this cry baby part of you...why don't you show it more often?" He asked in return with an eyebrow raised and my expression dropped.
"People won't take me serious" I said with an eye rolled.
"Now you should know my reason" he said and I sighed.
"Alright let's start baking then" I said and he nodded.
"I have no idea of what is done in the kitchen... I'm just here to stay, so that you won't be alone." He said and I smiled warmly.
"Thank you anyway" I replied and he nodded.
"So what should I do?" He asked
"Keep mixing the butter and sugar together" I said
"How?" He asked and I sighed.
"You do it this way" I said and held his hands before doing the circulatory motion in the bowl.
"Like this?" He asked and I nodded with a smile.
"See, you are doing pretty good" I complemented and he chuckled.
I did the other things and in no time, we were already putting the cupcakes inside the oven, ready to be baked.
We cleaned up and waited for the cupcakes to be ready. It was really fun to be this close to him but the night had to end.
I have feelings for him...yeah I know but who else doesn't? We have four other ladies fighting for him.
All I need to do now, is to make sure I don't get disqualified.
We both sat on the chair and talked over different things but then he asked me a question...
"Can I ask you a question?" He asked and I nodded
"Why don't you have a surname? I know it's personal and it's okay if you don't want to tell me" he said and I sighed.
"It's not like I don't want to tell you or anyone about it but it's just complicating. I'll say it anyway but I won't explain further than I can" I replied and he nodded.
"Alright" he mumbled and I sighed...
"I was raised by a single Mum and because my Mum got pregnant for me then at a young age, her parents sent her away and my Mum was so upset about it that she cut off tiles with them to the extent where she refused to bare her father's surname. She never knew the father of the child because she was r***d by three guys on campus and that ruined her so much. She couldn't finish her education but she did all she could to care for me. So you see if she doesn't have a surname then why would I?" I asked and he narrowed his eyes in thoughts.
"I love ladies who are truthful Daisy and I want to ask this particular question also...is there something about yourself that you are hiding away from me?" He asked and my heart fell to my tommy.
Is he finding things suspicious about me?
There are definitely so many things I'm hiding and how do I tell it to him?
"You can trust me" he said calmly and bit my inner cheek nervously.
Can I?
"There are a lot Aiden" I spoke with my voice a little shaky and he just stared at me.
"And..." Before I could continue he placed his index finger on my lips to shut me up and I stared down at his finger before looking up to him.
"Cameras" he said and I looked around. That's true! there are cameras everywhere except our rooms.
"You don't have to worry. We would definitely get the chance to talk this out together. Why don't we make the kitchen our hang out every night?" he asked and I raised my eyebrows in surprise then smiled.
"I would be delighted to spend that time with you" I replied and he smirked.
"Why are you suddenly talking to me so freely" I forced myself to ask and he shrugged.
"I guess I just like your aura" he replied and I blushed.
"Come on we need to check those cupcakes" he said and I chuckled before standing up.

*Next morning*
I woke up feeling so happy and alive. I went to set the table after greeting Chloe and Yvonne who were sitting on the living room, operating there phones.
I remembered last night and I smiled. I felt so happy that I was able to speak with Aiden and getting to know each other better but I still feel nervous about exposing my secrets to him.
What if doesn't like me after I say all the stuffs I'm keeping away from him or anyone else in this room.
"What if he eventually hate you for lying" my subconsciousness told me and I sighed.
I need to tell him and be free with him.
Well not today but how much longer?
I sighed and continue to set up the dinning table.
"I don't like this and I will never like it forever" Sophie shouted as she walked down the stairs.
"Hey hey hey what's your problem? Why are you barking like a dog this morning?" Chloe said breezily.
"Please don't talk to me because I'm not in a good mood at all" Sophie replied immediately pointing her index finger at her.
"And do we care?" Yvonne said with an eye rolled.
"Listen to me everyone because this morning I'm going to tell y'all the piece of my mind. Why do you guys have to do things behind my back hun? Why?" Sophie rasped
"What are you talking about? Are you sure you didn't take just a hint of alcohol?" Chloe asked sarcastically and Sophie frowned.
"Didn't Aiden say y'all should go to bed yesterday? Then what happened last hun?" Sophie asked
"I don't think Sophie is okay because she's saying nonsense" Yvonne said breezily
"Oh I'm saying nonsense?...I know it's Chloe that have something to do with all this... just look at you, look at what you are putting on. You did it with him right? You seduced him hun?" Sophie yelled at Chloe and she chuckled.
"I knew it that you were a psychopath from the beginning...I didn't even do anything, we just cuddled and even if we did, is it your problem? I don't even know where you are getting all this ideas from but you should know that, there are no cameras in the room" Chloe said with a shrug and Sophie furrowed her eyebrows.
