The Maid of London

Chapter 19

    "So you fell down and broke your arm ?" Eric asked confused .

    Even Carol was confused , as they both looked at Maria . Maria nodded , inwardly she was screaming bloody murder.

   Maria said : "Don't worry it's my fault i am so clumsy , besides the Doctors said it isn't too serious, i should be healed within 6 Weeks."

    Eric sighed . Carol said : "You and Natasha are just here to worry me aren't you . First Natasha gets into accident along with you , then you get stabbed , and then there was a bomb and now you broke your arm, Jesus."

    Maria nodded , inwardly she began to wonder about that too, she had really been through a lot hadn't she .

    Before she could say anything Natasha entered the room with a look of shock and concern on her face , Maria rolled her eyes , she knew that Natasha was faking it , Maria then suddenly wondered about Natasha . 

   One thing was for sure , her love for Eric was real , and Maria couldn't allow that to further blossom. She knew and had seen too many soap operas to know what would happen if she let Natasha do whatever she wanted.

     Maria knew that Natasha loved Eric in the purest way, as much as Maria hated to admit it , but Maria had thought Natasha was a fragile weakling .

   But the wrong assumption had cost Maria an arm . Literally.

    Maria glared at Natasha , when Eric and Carol weren't looking , But Natasha still kept her expression of concern on much to Maria's distaste.

   After 30 minutes, Carol and Eric left leaving Natasha and Maria alone .

   Natasha moved her hand towards Maria's injured arm . She said : "I am so sorry Maria . This shouldn't have happened . I went to far......."

   "What .....?.........." Maria asked bewildered . 'Was she seriously apologizing  ?' Maria thought taken a back .

   Maria then scoffed and said : "Yeah yeah like you didn't enjoy every second of it ".

   Natasha shook her head but Maria just rolled her eyes . She didn't have enough energy left today to deal with Natasha , not today at least.

   Natasha just sighed , even she looked tired .

    Maria was about to say something when all of a sudden they both heard the door bell ring loudly .

  Natasha and Maria , despite being blood enemies, looked at each other confused . When neither of the two knew who was at the door , they both got up.

  The shocking part was that Natasha helped Maria up and what was even more shocking that Maria accepted her help .

   Their curiosity was right now stronger than their dislike for each other.

   Maria's room was upstairs but thankfully they had a view towards the front door. Both ladies looked at the front door which was now opened .

   Natasha saw Eric , who was looking pissed , and Carol who was in tears , and then an older man and a man that looked like Eric but a little older .

   Maria spoke up : "That's Eric's father , Joseph Danvers , and Eric's elder brother by a year , 'Michael Danvers'."

    Natasha nodded despite the fact that Maria hadn't meant to say that out loud to her . Maria was just acknowledging their presence by muttering . 

    "Michael ??" Natasha wondered out loud , but Maria ignored her.

  They both went down stairs . To hear the and see the commotion .
