Not Yet in Love

Chapter 4

After walking some and buying some more with Nahara and Kendrick. I was finally home preparing for my evening that's to come when I heard a slightly knock "Come in" I saw Amity my head maid popping her head through the door "Hey" I greet her. I always enjoy her company she's not scared to tell me when I'm wrong and what are a few things that I should change. Not to mention I have known her all my life. Her mom used to work at the house when Amity was young we would secretly play together and after a while we both grew up and here we are... 

"Hi miss, I was told to notify you that we will be having guests for dinner and you are to dress at your best" I nod thinking through her words and my mom's trying to figure out who it might be.

"Ok, but I will need your help to make sure I'm at my best!" she nods, showing me a quick smile as we head to my closet. After going back and forth a little bit we end up choosing a white dress with gold treads making peculiar designs on the dress. The dress stops about two inches past my knees, and the top of the dress was squared with somewhat thick spaghetti straps. I split my blonde hair down the middle making two separate braids on each side. They ended lining up with my ear. Curling the ends and letting the rest fall freely. It was like a half up half down but with braids so it was as common and simple but not to much. I added gold-dipped treads so they are interlacing with the braids. Also added a red lipstick to add color and gold to my eye-lids knowing that it would help bring out the gold-orange that can be found in the center of my eyes. I look up at Amity and she finished making the curls in the end of my hair. We smiled at each other knowing we did a fine job. "Do you want to add anything?" She shakes her head.

I wonder if I made myself late and as if she had read my thoughts she says, "Miss you have 5 minutes before the guests arrive, this is just a guess but you do wish to make a grand arrival, don't you?" I smirk up at her and wink she knows too well. So I stay seated and unmoving.

"Amity how's your husband?" her cheeks go pink and her eyes much brighter.

"He's good Miss. He went to visit his family Simley" Simley is the neighboring town not too far from here but not exactly the closest either. My eyes go wide at this bit of information. I had no idea.

"Why didn't you tell me? I would have given you leave. Is something wrong with one of his family members?" She shakes her head at me.

"It's fine Miss, he wanted me to stay. He said wanted some alone time with his family. He's scared something is going to happen to his mom because of her age. Besides I'm not that close to his family." she rests her hand on my shoulders, "and we both know no one is as capable of making you look this good." I move my hand so it's over hers, and we smiled at each other.

As we are both there lost in our thoughts, we hear someone knocking making both our heads snap towards it at the same time. She removes the hand that was on my shoulder. We are not allowed to be close or my mom would dismiss her which is something we both don't want. "The guest carriage has arrived, your expected downstairs Miss." I nod acknowledging a maid I'm not familiar with.

I smooth the wrinkles of my dress, square my shoulders and lift my chin. I stand by my bedroom door listening in for when the front door opens. The stairs that give access to the second floor faces the front door, so ever since I was younger it left me with the option to make grand entrances. I heard a somewhat distant door click open than voices. So I get up from my leaning position against the wall and made my way towards the stairs. My room is located in the right area of the house and my parents towards the right and in the middle of us were the stairs.

Once I arrived on the steps I take a second to notice who was assembled in the front of my house. There were two somewhat old people, a man, and a woman, and with them, they brought 2 boys and a girl. That's a privilege I never got to have siblings... 

The girl looked younger but not too much, she was maybe 14. She was beautiful, she was tall, with brown hair, green eyes and despite the fact that she looked like she was 14 she had a lot of curves, a lot more than that's for sure. I frowned inwardly but made sure a small shy smile was on my lips as I started descending the stairs. One of the boys, defiantly the youngest amongst them looked about 9. He had brown eyes and hair and honestly looked adorable!

As I finished descending I noticed the third person of the trio set. He was tall, wayyyyy too tall. No that I'm complaining. He had a perfect face with a strong broad shoulder and it was an effort not to gape at him. He extended his hand towards me, "I'm Aeron Griffin" my eyes dart between his hand and his face for a few seconds before I finely shake his hand. "May Costline, a pleasure to meet you"

Hey guyssss!! How's going?

I hope everything is well with you guys and you are staying safe.

And I just realized May has a slight obsession with gold lol. Sry?

I just wanted to put out there that when I started writing this story Mason was her childhood best friend but I decided to make his name Kendric idk it just felt right u know. Someone else will be getting the name Mason.

But anyway what do you guys think of Aeron? Will he be a good guy a bad one someone she gets attacked too or just a friend feel free to drop your opinions! 

At first, I was considering making our mystery guy who can survive without her name come to her house but Aeron felt more appropriate to introduce. He has a really important role for sure!

As always thanks for reading and hope you enjoy!
