The next morning, when I turned around, I heard someone knock on the door. It was my father's mother. "Good morning, I have pancakes, baken, and eggs for you. I assumed you would be hungry because you have eaten little. I will leave it here for you. "Just bring the plate down when you're finished." "Thank you," I say, turning back to the window as I hear her close the door.
A few minutes later, my stomach rumbles with hunger, and I turn over to see pancakes with baken and eggs. Why do that? That is completely incorrect. I eat the pancakes but leave the yucky eggs. I go into the bathroom to shower. As I come out, I notice the baken still on the Plate and snack on it as I get dressed, leaving the eggs with honey nope, not happening honey on eggs just no.
After I try to sneak downstairs with the plate and eggs, hoping not to run into anyone. Only I'm not as fortunate because the family is in the kitchen. "Hi sweetheart, was your breakfast okay?" Lenna, I believe she stated her name was. "Yes, thank you," I say as I place the eggs in the bin and the plate to the side. "Come sit with us," she asks as I stroll out of the rear to my room. "Um, I was just going to head back upstairs" and finish unpacking my things." Hanna leaps up and pulls me back to the breakfast bar plopped me down on a stool. "No can do, girly, we let you hide for a few days. Now it's time to mingle with the crazies," she giggles as she sits back down.
They all converse amongst themselves while I hunt around for an escape route. My father continues glancing at me, but when I look up, he looks away, as if I haven't noticed it. So we men have to work, the old man adds as he and my father stand up. And the older man kisses Lenna on the lips and pulls my father away while glancing at me. "Sooo, girly, what do we have planned today?" She leans on her hand, looking at me with mischief? And her mother. Looks just as mischievous as her. "I... I was just going to unpack..." They gaze at each other before at me. That didn't happen. They drove me to the nearby spa. You'll love it, Lenna says as she pulls me to her side and hugs me as we walk in. The first thing I noticed was a blonde, slender woman with gigantic hair, a lot of makeups, and a clown-like appearance. Oh, my y'all running to hug Hanna, who appears to have just eaten a sour sweat. She lets go and races to Lenna, but she pulls me in front of her, preventing her from approaching. She comes to a complete stop in front of us.
"Well now, who might ya'll be?" She looks down at me with a nasty face, waiting for something I don't know. "Oh well, now Gorgie, this is my granddaughter Susan, she is our Brian's little girl." If Lenna hadn't hugged me so tightly, I would have laughed as her face twisted up like she'd eaten Brussel sprouts.
"Well.... I... never knew he had a child." She taps my head as if I were a dog, and her smile is so phony. Hanna chuckles, but hides it with a false cough as I give her a death stare. "So now what can I do for ya'll"? She walks back behind the desk and sits down. Lenna moves around me to the desk, "We reserve for 10am for full works," she says, smiling. "Oh yes, I can see right here, just go right on in, everything is all ready for ya'll," she smiles fakery as we enter through the door at the end of the corridor. Hanna and Lenna started laughing as we walked in. "Oh, my, that girl just gets worse every time," Lenna jokes.
"Oh, her face was priceless.," "You'd think she'd be over Brian by now. "It's been 12 years," Lenna adds as she undresses. I glance aside. Oh my God, I moan and cover my face as they both undress. I Hanna burst out laughing beside me. "Oh, come on girly, we're all girls here." "Um, I'm going to the bathroom, umm, okay," I murmur as I head towards the other door. I hear their chuckles as I close the door.
As I undress, I remove everything or just the top and bottoms. I peek my head out. "Um, what should I take off?" I murmur through the gap, embarrassed. "Oh, sweetheart, you can leave your nickers and bra on," Lenna informs me. "Um, I do not have a bra. "I'm eleven," I tell her. "Okay, wrap the surrounding towel so you can lie down and then remove it under the sheet," Lenna instructs me as I close the door. I get undressed, leaving only my underwear on, and wrap the surrounding towel, holding on tight so it does not fall off. "You OK?" they ask as I go out. Lenna looks at me as I shut the door. I nod as I accompany them into another room with three beds having holes at one end. I follow what they're doing as Hanna lowers her towel and lies down as I look away. Embarrassed yet again. As Lenna lays down, she pulls the sheet over her, and I do the same. The door on the right opens, sending my heart racing against my chest. I watch as two women and one male walk in. Hanna and Lenna embrace them.
