Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Laura Pov Cont.

"Hey," I smiled back.

"Please, let me show you around after I keep your luggage," She smiled as she walked towards my luggage holding it firmly as she disappeared into the big castle.

I couldn't help but feel flabbergast by her British accent.

It's really amazing...

I want to speak like that.

The house was big like a castle.

The castle was surrounded by multiple fountains that sprinkled water in the air, roses that caught the sun attention.

Beautiful flowers from east to west. Even the floor had its own beauty, it was shining bright with the help of the sun's rays.

It was dark yet attracted to the eyes.

It's just too beautiful for me to over look.

I might have to act a little older and use my dictionary more often to please the house and everyone in it, expecially the british accent lady.

Although it is my own pleasure to be here, but yet, I kinda feel a ball of shivers rolling down my skin..

I am really getting the hang of this.

The lady walked fastly yet gently to me and held my arm in hers.

I didn't notice before that Mr Howard had gone inside.

She tucked her hand skillfully into mine and smiled, as she led me into the castle liked house.

Her dark hair was packed in a messy bun and I don't know how it caught me captive, but it just did.

A gentle and soft voice pushed me out of my thoughts, "I am so glad that you are here" The voice was that of the lady's that I don't know her name.

"Sorry for not introducing myself earlier," She said with her smile still intact.

"I'm Sandra," She said, this time a bit more gentle.

With a small smile on my face I said, "I am Laura."

She stared me before saying,"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Laura."

Her British accent is just like music to my ears. I wish that I could just sit and listen to her talk till the day's over.

As much as it means to me, I know it won't happen.

"Mr Howard said I should make you at home and that's what am gonna do," She said as her eyes left my gaze towards the staircase.

We started hearing some loud laughters and I could tell that the soft look on Sandra's face disappeared into a straight masked look.

I started hearing footsteps, and the laughters increased, just then two figures stood twelve inches away.

They looked stunned at our presence, breaking the silence came Sandra's voice, "Luke, Princess Anne please meet Laura," her voice was a little shaky.

She coughed slightly and it seemed to me that she faked it.

But why is she acting this way. Well, it doesn't matter to me, maybe she's just nervous to introduce me to.

Wait..did she say Princess Anne as in the Princess Of England....

Oh my Gosh, I need to be matured, this can't be happening.

I froze as the princess shook my hand and smiled saying, "Its a pleasure to meet you."

Did she just smiled at me and also touched my hand.

I'll never wash my hand again.

I know that I'm behaving like a lunatic, and she's not really a celebrity for me to be acting up like this, but am just so excited to be meeting the princess.

Oh.. And she has a British accent too, but hers a little stronger than Sandra's.

Beside her was the famous Luke that Patricia wouldn't stop talking about.

He was handsome, yeah, but not as handsome as Gabriel.

Did I just say that?

What is wrong with me, I shouldn't be thinking about that, I am mad at him.

Very mad. So I shouldn't call his name or even think of him in any way or sort.

That works right?

But why do I always think of him, why am I in a trance when I'm with him.

Why do his smiles crank me up, why?

I shouldn't be thinking about that I have to focus on what's at hand.

The suddenly rush of Sandra's voice stared me, "Let me show you to your room so that you can freshen up."

She escorted me up the stairs as I smiled the princess.

Oh, I wish I was the princess I would have everything I ever needed and a home filled with love and compassion from my family.

But life has it's ups and downs, I had to be in the wrong side I guess.

But come to think of it, how exactly did they know the princess.

Well that is a secret am yet to find out.

I'll just do a little questioning like the lawyer that I am.

Okay. Why is my head always bringing up things that will remind me of Gabriel.

Geez!!

It should stop already.

My thoughts ceased as we got into the room where my luggage was kept.

"I hope you like the room," She muttered smiling and my jaw dropped open as I looked around.

"Wow, it's gigantic," I blurted out.

"I know," She smiled.

It was a big room that looked like the living room and coincidently, the living room looked like a ball room.

The floor was neatly coloured light green and the huge room painted purple.

There was a big bed in the middle of the room, the sheets purple and green, the side lamp was green.

The curtains green, the little designs were also green, even the reading table and chair were both green and purple coloured...

I don't know why green and purple are all over the room, I don't really like the two colours but it's lively and bright, and I live bright things.

"How can a common maid like me stay here," I blurted out again.

Like seriously!

I should learn to watch my tongue.

"You are human, you know, you're not just a maid," She smiled, "Until I teach you to work of course," She said as her face changed into a serious look.

That's new alright!

"When do we start," I found myself saying, and it earned me a quick smile from Sandra, "When you're comfy enough."

I nodded diligently and smiled

"Sounds good to me," I said and her brow ached, "I love your attitude," She said.

"What's not to love," I said.

"Okay, make yourself at home but when it's 12:00pm come join me make lunch," She said and I nodded.

Immediately she left, I looked around the room, every corner, every door.

And do you know what I found?

I have my own private bathroom and I got confused if it was my room.

The bathroom was all purple but the sink, bathtub and other stuffs were white.

My room also had another door that surprisingly led to a closet, my own private chamber.

I was thinking of where to put my clothes because the room had both a closet and a wardrobe.

The closet door is purple, the main door is green while the bathroom door is white.

That will be easy to remember.

I pulled all my clothes out of my luggage and started arranging them in my big, fancy closet.

Which had a green and purple designs, they were really beautiful.

That's a great reason for me to use it instead of the wardrobe.

In a few minutes, I was done with my clothes. So I layed on my bed and was surprised on her comfy it was.

It was softer than my bed in the orphanage.

I mean, I loved it.

As I layed on the bed, I felt bored just hoping to fall asleep but instead I saw my self looking at Gabriel's pictures in my phone and immediately my fingers got a mind of it's own.

Opening my contacts and I immediately made a call through him, before I got myself he had already picked up.

"Hey Laura," His voice echoed in the background.

"Laura are you there," He said with worry and I quickly hanged up, kept my phone far away from me and layed back on the bed.

Why is my heart beating so fast.

And why am I sweating like I ran a marathon race.

What is going on with me?

Were the only questions that rang in my head.

I slowly closed my eyes waiting for sleep to take me, I hope it does cause I can't stay here and be thinking of Gabriel.

No, I am mad at him.

Am I really??
