MINE EVER

CHAPTER-03

"Anna , do you approve?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts by aunt and rose who raises her brows at me."I-I'm sorry, what?" I ask, a bit embarassed I wasn't listening to them."I said do you agree on meeting with the caterers tomorrow?" She asks and I swallow."Oh, yeah. Okay." I state, nodding and they look at each other.

"Don't get distracted on us now, Annaa. There's a lot to do in these two weeks." Rose  states, slightly smiling at me."Oh, I'm sorry. I just feel a bit dizzy." I explain, tucking my hair behind my ear. I wasn't lying, I was starting to feel a bit of drowsiness take over me.

"Are you sick?" Katherine worryingly asks, placing her hand on mine."No, just a bit tired." I explain.Tired of being here.Just a minute later, stephen comes in calling out for his mother. "Hey, mom. Dad wanted me to tell you..." he immediately pauses, glancing at rose . "Well, hello." He smiles flirtaciously and licks his lips.

Huh, well this is ... Again them ..."Hey." Rose  greets, squinting her eyes. She  can be pretty forward, if she likes someone then she goes for it. She's the complete opposite of me. Something tells me she and Stephen will get along a long . And by the looks of it, they think so too.

Why couldn't I meet someone like that? Cross paths in a normal way and eventually fall in love. That's been taken away from me, just like everything else I've ever wished for."May I be excused?" I ask, making them all glance at me. All are  nods sympathetically as I stand up."I'll have one of the maids fetch you something for your dizziness.

 Go rest, my dear." Aunty states and I glance at Rose and Stephen who have already slipped into a deep conversation."Thank you." I say as to katherine  pulls me down for a hug. I really like them despite them being related to louis.

 I feel like they like me for me, and that I don't have to impress them or act fake.Closing the door to the room behind me, I change into something more comfortable before settling on the bed. I pull the sheets over me as I feel my eyes getting weary. I don't know what's wrong with me, I've lost my will to do anything and all I want to do is lay in bed.

I place my engagement ring on the bedside table, it's been making me uncomfortable. It's too heavy and I need time to adjust to it.I suddenly hear a knock on the door and I sit up on the bed. 

"Come in." I allow and the door opens. July enters with a tray in her hands and walks over to the bedside table. I watch her frown and her lips purse when she sees the ring placed on there. She stares at it for a second before rolling her eyes and placing the tray on the table.

"Thank you." 

I tell her as she continues to pour what I assume is herbal tea into the mug.I feel bad for her, especially after what Elena told me about her. I just want to talk to her and tell her she deserves someone better than louis , everyone does. Why would she ever want someone like him ? I can presume that living here, she doesn't get appreciated enough. No one treats her the way she deserves, I can tell by her eyes and her behaviour.Let me try and fix that.

"You look um-" she snaps her head at me. "You look really pretty today." I compliment, I'm not doing it just because I feel bad for her. I just want to make her feel known, besides she does look pretty.

She knits her eyebrows, she stops doing what she's doing and just stares at me, confused by my out of the blue statement."Thanks, I guess." She replies, raising her brow and slightly smiling? That's a first.

"You're welcome." I softly mutter and she places the tea in front of me. There's also food on the tray, thank God. I'm starving.She smiles back lightly before wandering off. I'm glad that made her mood change a little.See, every person is a good person. They just need someone to remind them of their worth from time to time.
