(Master Alex POV)
I rode into town looking for a house keeper. I hate calling negros slaves because they were human beings just like me expect I was white, and happen to have some authority and they were black; but they still bled red just like I did. As I rode into town I was stopped by the voice of a man "Come buy a young negro girl, she might have more use than just cleaning, hahaha." As I listined to the man I looked over and noticed the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I saw this man start to pull her clothing off; I felt the need to protect her. So I jumped off my horse and ran to her. I handed the man some coins and Walked her back to my horse. I noticed her body was a bent tense"you can relax now, your safe".
After I got her on my horse and we began to ride off, I couldn't help but notice her beautiful brown skin. She had the brightest brown eyes I had ever seen,a chuby face and curves that you couldn't drive around . "What your name?" "Melissa". "Well Melissa, I just bought you. So now you work for me,understand?" "Yes sir". I could see how shaken she was.
We finally arrived at the governors mansion where I live. I saw one of the maids Sally and asked her to escort Melissa to my bath tub. I walked inside to my study seeing that my wife had left a letter saying that she would be gone for two weeks due to her mother being ill. "Exuse me master Alex," "Yes Sally?" "I got Melissa in the bath, what should I do with her after wards?". "Don't worry Sally, I'll take care of her". I walked out my study into my room and to my bathroom to see Melissa washing her brown skin with a cloth, then I noticed the bruises on her back. I walked up to her and took the cloth. She jumped. "You scared me Master Alex" "My apologies Melissa; I just wanna wash the bruise on your back and have them banged up for you." She didn't say anything. "What happen?". "The man that you took me from, he tried to force me and I fought back". As I took the cloth from her hand, I noticed the bruises on her stomach and thighs. "Do you mind if I help you wash?". She didn't say anthing. I put some soap on the cloth and began to wash her back.
Melissa POV
Master Alex began to wash my back,I closed my eyes and thought about the way he looked. He was a white man, with big greenish, blue eyes, he was about 6'8 and very muscular with a tan. Why was he washing me? He's white. I'm a negro and he said he bought me. "Master Alex, what will I be doing for you?" "You will cook and clean those types of things, but I will take care of you. If you need anything I will get it for you, understand?" "Yes sir". Master Alex seemed to be nice but commanding at the same time. I hadn't noticed that he had moved to the front of me, until I felt the cloth on thigh. I opened my eyes only to be met with his. My heart quickned but my body relaxed. He ran the cloth down my thigh and then back up again. When he realized where his hand was he quickly got up and grabbed me a towel. "Step out. There will be clothes for you and a room. Sally will show you to your things." "Thank you Master Alex". He smiled and walked out the bathroom.
