His Obsession

Chapter Twelve

Charlotte

I woke up to find May in bed with me.

"When did you get in here?"

"A few minutes ago. Mr. Johnson, let me in here, sleepyhead," she laughed. "But seriously, though, your bedroom is a palace. I wonder how Mr. Johnson's bedroom looks."

"This is his bedroom," I laughed.

"Wait what? You're kidding, right?"

"No, I'm not," I said.

"Royalty treatment, I'll give Mr. Johnson an A," she said.

"Yeah." I smiled, looking down.

"What's wrong?" she asked, concern lacing her voice.

"It's nothing. Looking back at my past and everything that I went through, I wouldn't have believed I would meet Damian, and everything will change," I said, wiping a teardrop.

"Look at me, Charlotte. I also didn't believe I'd meet Frederick and be living my best life," she said, holding my hands.

I smiled. I think I should start leaving my past behind and embrace this new chapter with Damian.

"Now, let's get Queen Charlotte some breakfast," she said, getting out of bed.

"Let me freshen up first," I laughed. Today is going to be good.

I went downstairs after taking care of my hygiene and getting dressed. I hope May won't drag me anywhere; I'm already tired before I even start the day.

As I got down, I met a young lady helping Mr. Jones in the kitchen.

"Oh my God, mom, you didn't tell me she was this gorgeous," the young lady said, making Mrs. Jones laugh.

"Let her breathe, Michelle; it's too early for this," she said. "I'm sorry for my daughter's behavior," she apologized.

"No worries, Mrs. Jones. I'm happy to finally meet your beautiful daughter."

"She's way nicer and more beautiful than Pamela," Michelle said, making her mom laugh.

"Now let her eat her breakfast," her mom said. Michelle hugged me before leaving.

"What do you want to do after breakfast?" May asked midway through our meal.

"I don't know. Either go back to sleep or read a book; anything goes as long as I stay indoors," I said.

"That's partially boring, grandma," May replied, laughing at my shocked expression. "Well, I mean, we can read books and sleep and go out later; that's if you have the energy. If not, we can do it any other day," she added.

"I understand; I hope I get energy to go out later in the day," I said.

Sure, dear," May replied.

We ate our food in silence, enjoying the peace and letting our minds wander off to our men. "You know it won't be a bad idea to go shopping for ball dresses," May said. "Yeah, right, I said because I know sooner or later, I'll be convinced to go out. "You know, I guess I'm energized for the morning. We can head out before I start losing my energy," I said after we were done with breakfast. "Yes," May said, jumping happily around.

"Girl, please don't drain me. I don't think you can carry me when I'm down," I laughed.

"Don't worry, we'll call our knights in shining armor," she winked.

I laughed, shaking my head.

"Michelle, do you mind joining us for shopping?"

She looked at her mom for approval. Her mom nodded.
