Ms. Caroline Sobers

Caroline Sobers, personal maid of Lady Valentina Esmeralda Elcortez stared at the portrait of her mistress' brother,Master Francisco Delavero Elcortez. He was strikingly handsome with his pale skin,dark green eyes and flawless shoulder length hair. She knew that a smirk like that could make any woman fall under his spell. Although she was only a nieve sixteen year old,she was sure he liked the attention he got anywhere he went. She had heard how the other maids gossiped about he turn any male amend she was sure he could cast any man under his spell if he wanted to.

"Caroline could you help me with my zipper please? I swear I think I'm getting fat" her mistress said with a small laugh.

"Yes miss" she said quietly as she did as she was told.
"I thought I made it clear to you that I didn't want you calling me that!" Her mistress said modestly. Although Caroline was her servant, Valentina considered her to be one of her best friends,even though her parents made it clear to her that she shouldn't be fraternising with a maid. Valentina knew that the fact that Caroline was her maid had nothing to do with it,the problem was that she was black and was considered as good as dirt to the white race. Valentina knew that whether her friend was black or white, she was still person who had feelings just like anybody else. She knew that a person should never be defined by the colour of his or her skin. The thought made her sick bit she knew that her brother Francisco would beg to differ. He thought that blacks shouldn't even be working in a person's house.
She didn't care. Caroline was the only female that was practically in her age group (Although she was two years older than her dear maid),she just took an instant liking to the girl.

Caroline sighed softly and murmured "I'm sorry Valentina,but I'm sure you understand that I can't just talk to you like I'm an equal"
"Pish posh! All that position crap is all a bunch of stupidity to me!" Valentina turned around to face Caroline,held both her hands and said, "I don't ever want you to think that I'm better than you in any way okay?"
She stared into her maid's dark brown eyes to make sure that she was getting through to her.
"Okay" her friend said with a smile as she was pulled into a hug by her friend.

"Now how about you wait here until I'm finished talking to my mother?''
"I'll be here"Caroline said as she watched Valentina exit her beautifully decorated bedroom. She wondered what it would be like to sleep in her mistress' extremely comfortable looking king sized bed,she imagined how wonderful it would be like to have a walk in closet like her mistress and have beautiful expensive looking curtains. She looked around and compared her small,stuffy bedroom with this one.

Her small and uncomfortable bed could never be compared with the one Valentina had.She thought how she should have to live with a bad back for the rest if her life and was terrified.

When she looked in the mirror that her mistress had previously been examining herself with, she saw a girl staring back at her. The girl had long dark hair and a heart shaped face with big innocent brown eyes and full red lips and a not so button nose. She wouldn't have considered herself as being ugly but if she compared herself to Valentina,she would look like a pig walking on two feet.
Her mistress' flawless blonde hair always fell in perfect waves and her blue eyes always shone. She had a cute little button nose which made Caroline jealous at times because she had always been insecure about her nose. She had an advantage over Valentina though, she had curves in all the right places unlike Valentina who was extremely skinny but was still stunning all the same.

Valentina came back into the room interrupting Caroline's thoughts. Caroline why didn't you take a seat while I was gone and why are you just staring at yourself in the mirror?" Valentina frowned but didn't give the younger girl a chance to reply
"I honestly can't wait to see my big brother again! It's been four long months since I've seen him! Now he'll finally be home for a few weeks" she said as she sat on her bed,careful not to crumple her beautiful silk dress that suited her slender body perfectly, although Caroline thought it was a bit too short,but who was she to judge her mistress?

"Lady Valentina your mother wants you downstairs immediately" said a voice on the other side of the door. "I'll be out in a minute William"
"Now Caroline please try to avoid my brother at all costs okay? He can be a bit....hard when it comes to black s and I don't want him to hurt you in any way okay" Valentina said as she got up from her bed and was about to leave.
"Now come with me"
"Yes mam" Caroline said as she followed her mistress outside to greet her brother.
