It Has Always Been You..

8. Two New Friends

Ariana Willows

"No Ron! Don't hide her shoes. I have seen you." I says to him sternly.

Isabella is in the bathroom changing her clothes.. and this kid is trying to hide her shoes.

He stares at me wide eyed and smiles at me while scratching his neck.. Just like 'someone'.

These kids are so excited for the picnic.. It is as if they are on wheels..

Who are you kidding? You yourself are excited to go.

I agree with my subconscious this time.. It's been so long that I have been to picnic or to any amusement park. My parents used to take me to such places. Being an only child, they doted on me..

I really miss them!

Today I woke up at 6:30..feeling so refreshing.. It's the best sleep I have got in so long. I freshen up and chose a navy blue dress from the closet.. I really can't thank them enough. My bag that I took from my aunt's home, was left in that alley. I can't think what would I have done without Mr. Knight's help.

I smiled remembering his liking for my food. I really like cooking.. Earlier it was forced on me.. But gradually I started enjoying it. I like to bake delicacies too.. May be I can do something in this field.. I will ask him about it.

Then I decided to  make breakfast for him...I mean.. For all of them..It's the least I can do for them.

I don't why.. But even his name makes me blush so much that I have lost count on how many times I blushed in these past two days.

I went downstairs and reached the kitchen.. Mr. Butler was preparing for the breakfast..

"Good morning, sir..I am Ariana Willows..and you are Mr...?"

Mr. Butler looked at me and smiled at me. He is in his forties with grey hairs.. slight ponch, in a white uniform with a chef like hat.

"Good morning, Miss.. My name is Harry Wells." He replied.

"I..if..you don't mind, can I make breakfast today?" I asked him hesitantly.. Not wanting to intrude in his business.

He seems surprised hearing my request.. But nodded nonetheless.

I smiled from ear to ear and asked him the likes and dislikes of everyone. He has already cut fruits, prepared sandwiches and orange juice.

I thought about what to make.. And I remembered that Aaron loved my pancakes.

I can't really stop thinking about him.. Can I?

I chuckled at myself and started preparing pancakes. When I was about to arrange breakfast on the table.. Doorbell rang.

Mr. Wells had gone in the garden to pick fresh vegetables for lunch.. And maids are not here in my sight. So I decided to open the door.

When I opened it, I met a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes. He was dressed in an expensively tailored navy blue suit. He smiled at me and his dimples popped out, that makes him even more handsome.

But not as handsome as 'him'.

Uggghhh, there I go again..

He cleared his throat and heat rose up to my cheeks realising he caught me checking him out.

"Hello beautiful, what's your name?" He asked curiously.

"M.. My name is Ariana Willows, sir.. Nice to meet you. " I replied.
