"Maîtresse Reine?Il est temps de se réveiller.Le petit déjeuner est sur le point d'être servi."(Mistress Reine?It is time to wake up.Breakfast is about to be served.)
I rolled over in my king sized bed."Bonjour à toi aussi, Esmée."(Good morning to you too,Esmée.)
I stretched my arms and sat straight under my covers."Is Joe awake?"She shook her head."I was meant to wake him up after you,Mistress."I nodded."I'll come with if that is alright with my father."
"I'll ask Master Raymond.Your maid is waiting for you outside to dress you.You can changed in the mean time,Mistress."I nodded."That'll be alright."Esmée left to ask my father.
I hate that I can't even choose what I can wear.I walked into my bathroom,washed my face and brushed my teeth.
A knock was heard when my maid was dressing me up."Come in."Esmée came back."Your father allowed you to wake up your little brother,Mistress Reine."I smiled."Thank you,Esmée."
I stood up from my make up stand's seat and Esmée took me to Joe's room."Maître Joe?"(Master Joe?)
When Joe didn't response,Esmée saw it fit to walk in.I followed Esmée's steps as she entered.I saw Joe still sleeping and sat down on his bed's side."Bonjour,ma chérie."(Good morning,my darling.)
He pushed my hand away and got his pillow over his head before groaning in annoyance."Laisse-moi tranquille, Reine, je veux dormir!"(Leave me alone,Reine!I want to sleep!)
I sighed."Joe,I'm leaving tonight.Please,wake up."He got rid of the pillow and looked at me."Do you really have to leave?"I gave him a small genuine smile."Your mother doesn't like me,Joe."
"But I like you!Ma maman has no right to take away my big sister."I gave him a big smile before hugging him."Well,come on.We're going to be late to breakfast."I let him go and brushed off his hair.
"She doesn't have to like me as long as she loves you,Joe."I stood up."Let them change you and I'll see you downstairs."He nodded and I made my way to the stairs.
"Took you long enough."I sat down next to my step sister."I apologize,sir.I did not mean to make you wait as long as you have."A few minutes later,Joe came and sat next to his mother and in front of his older sister.
Breakfast and the wine was served."Father,I have been meaning to ask you.Could you let me call my mother before I leave for my flight tonight?"
"I have talked to your mother and neither of us saw the need for you to call her."I nodded."If that is the case,thank you for informing me,sir."
As the plates were being taken for dessert,Joe spoke up."Father,can I spend the day with Reine before she leaves tonight?""Spend the day,how?"
"Maybe Pierre could drive us to the ice rink?"Father nodded."Pierre will be watching."We both nodded and thanked him before went back to our rooms and changed for the ice rink.
"Esmée?""Yes,Mistress?"I sighed."I'm going to miss you when I'm gone."She smiled at me through the mirror."Mistress Reine,if I may?"I nodded and she came over to fix my hair.
"Thank you.""You look exceptional,Mistress."I smiled wide with flattery."You are making me blush,Esmée."I said as my cheeks got redder with heat.
On my way to the stairs,Joe caught up to me."May I?"I giggled."You may."I got his arm as he offered.
We got downstairs and went outside to get in the car."Mistress Reine and Master Joe.""Good morning,Pierre."He opened the door for us and I went in after Joe.
