I woke up the next morning to voices arguing, yells followed and suddenly, there was silence. Can't I just wake to the calm of morning, the beauty that followed? Rather than spew of words every now and then. Oh, yes. How could I forget? I was in the Williams mansion after all. This was what one would wake up to—Ruckus. Making my way downstairs into the living room, I found the whole family sat there, excluding Mr Williams. Perhaps he had gone to work.Present there was also Miss Tara, with Arabella stood right beside her. Their gazes focused on Mrs Williams. They all turned to me the moment I walked in, every eye accessing my figure.Mrs Williams looked like she wanted to say something to me, yet she didn't. Muttering a word of greetings to her, I then proceeded to the corner of the living room, unsure of what to do. "Tara, I'm sure by now, your daughter has told you what's going on" The voice of Mrs Williams broke the silence in the room. Miss Tara at once have a nod to the la
7:20 am, I stared at the wall clock, gaze peering at it. It was just past the time of resumption, yet none of the maids had arrived. Finger snatching my apron from its rack, I got to work immediately. The kitchen remained in a mess after the party last night, even after Arabella had helped clean it up. Arabella. Sadness crossed my eyes at the thought of her. Even though the girl and I were just getting to know each other, I found myself missing her. The sound of feet approaching the kitchen, snapped me out of my thoughts as I turned to the entrance, staring at whoever was walking through there. Cameron. His gaze rested on me for a few seconds, accessing my figure, and suddenly, he began advancing towards me. Getting up to my feet slowly, I stepped backwards while he drew closer, gaze holding mine strongly.Taking steps back, my body touched the kitchen island, stating there was no where else for me to turn to. He stood right in front of me, placing his hands on the kitchen
My eyes fixed on my mom, mind finding it hard process all she just said."You're to stop work there" I replayed her words in my head. She had just informed me for whatever reason known to her that I had to stop working at the Williams mansion, because she had enrolled me into a public school, which was not far from where we lived. According to her, I had to begin school the next day. "Mom, you should have at least asked me first, before enrolling me into any school" I uttered, interrupting her. "Aren't you tired of staying home doing nothing, while your peers go to school and learn?" She questioned. "Of course, I wanna go to school""This is just so sudden. Plus, I can't stop working at the Williams mansion" "I need to keep working there, so we can take good care of ourselves" I said to her. "Nia, you must go there tomorrow, and tell them you're no longer working""it's as simple as that" She stated, giving me a warm smile, and then leaving the living room. Meanwhile I drowne
I was more than eager to receive my pay check, and perhaps resume schooling according to mother. Mother plan she had, I only hoped it worked out. Hurrying into the mansion, I arrived at the doorstep, pushing the door open slowly. I found Kate, dusting the chinaware in the living room, eyes looking up at me the moment I walked in. She eyed my figure, lip's tightening as she resumed what she was doing. Since I got employed into the house, the maids had never taken a liking to me. The only ones who were ever nice to me were, Denna and miss Mary. When the maids were informed that miss Tara had been fired. Kate, immediately made her disapproval known to me. She accused me, saying, that I was the reason Mrs Williams fired miss Tara. "Ever since you came into this house, there's been drama. Drama and mishappenings. You should go back to where you crawled out from. Cause no one wants you here" I remembered her words.Mary at that time snapped at Kate, but she only hollered more. I
Not in a million years did I ever think nor imagine I would come across the gates of Greenville high, talk more of being held within its walls. It was a school holding lots of history, accomplishments and not to forget, the reputation. Here I was stood in its hallways, completely unsure of where to go, or who to turn to. The word "Newbie" made its mark right on my forehead. I held my school schedule in hands, my eyes searching around for homeroom. Moving to the locker which I was assigned to earlier by the administration, I tossed few of mybooks in there, then turned around, resuming my search. The sound of the bell got my feet hurrying, my figure dashing though the halls. Getting late to class wouldn't be a good impression on my first day, would it?Students pushed past me as they hurried to get to class, figures moving about. A student came crashing at me, getting me almost flat on my face, not until two arms grabbed me. Looking up at whoever was kind enough to save me from
I was downstairs scrubbing the floors, when I heard someone banging endlessly on the front door. Who on earth could that be? If the person went on like this, they just might bring the door down. Now who could I get to see to the door? Not to lie, I was terrified. Tyler and Logan were out with their friends, and Cameron, well let's just leave it at that. The rest of the maids were in the kitchen doing their chores, I couldn't disturb them. Moving quietly to the door, I turned the lock, pulling the door open. A sight was left for my eyes to behold. Stood right at the doorstep were two police officers, arms holding on to Ashley, while she squirmed under their grip. My eyes at once took to her wrists, realising she was handcuffed. "Good afternoon, young lady" One of the men uttered to me, eyes focused on my figure. "Good afternoon, sir" I responded, pushing myself outside so I could come face to him. "Do you know this girl?" he questioned. "Yes" "Good" he called."Who are yo
"Nia!" "Nia!""Nia!"The voice of Mrs Williams snapped me out of the position I was crouched in, as she called my name from the living room. At once, I dropped the duster held in my hands, hurrying out of the room where I was. Mrs Williams was elegantly dressed in a white sequined blouse and Black pants. Her hands brushed through her hair, while her eyes stared on at a small mirror held in her grip. She looked decent enough. Logan was sat on the couch, eyes focused on the T.V screen. Mr Williams soon walked into the room followed by Tyler, Ashley and Cameron. He turned his gaze to his wife, who was by the corner of the living room applying makeup. "Honey, you should have done this in the room" He uttered, having a glance at his wrist watch. "Can we leave now?" Mr Williams spoke in a low voice. "Just give me a moment" Followed the response of Mrs Williams. "Dad" Tyler called, turning to Mr Williams. "Should we go on with the invitations?" He questioned. "What invitations?"
Cameron's hands gripped tightly to the steering wheel, his knuckles already turning white from his firm hold on it.We had left the supermarket few minutes ago, and right now he was driving back to the mansion. "Are you gonna keep up with this?""you're acting like I'm not beside you" I blurtedHe didn't even turn my way, his gaze remained fixed on the road. "you told me to leave you alone" He responded, eyes still focused ahead."I said that, cause I felt you didn't care about me...... You only kissed me just to calm yourself" I spoke. "You're not wrong" he uttered in a monotone. The way the words rolled out of his mouth caused a burn in my heart. He spoke with no emotion whatsoever. It hurt me so much hearing him say those words. I wanted him to care about me. To love me. Oh, Lord.What really was wrong with me? Was I in love with him already? No way! I wouldn't fall in love with a guy who cared not about me, now. Would I?"Why do you keep acting this way?" My voice broke
