T.E.M.D (Charles Valois Fanfic)(Stopped)

Chapter 3

Lexi's POV 

Walking down the hallway I bumped into Mikayla and she was wondering where I went, I told her that I was just wondering around looking for Mrs Warton but I miss the part when I walked past a really cute boy. I knew that me and him could never happen as I was simply a commoner and he was a noble. All I hope is to see him again, I know that wasn't going to be possible as nothing really went my way. Mikayla just stopped walking and bumped right into her and fell down. 

'Ouch' rubbing my head and she kicked me to get up. I just shouted 'Why did you do that?' and then I saw a pair of heels stop right in front me and I looked up to see Mr Warton we a blank face and she says 'Get up we don't have time to waste'

I gulped and reluctantly obeyed and I apologized for my actions and she lead us to  a bed chambers and she demonstrated how to stripe the bed-sheets and replace them with new ones. Afterwards she told we had to clean up the room and make sure everything was spotless for a royal visitor arrival. I wondering who the young guest, I hope she is kind and doesn't go crazy if we do something wrong. 

Mikayla was doing as she was told but me on the other was struggling on doing the bed sheets and when Mrs Warton went to get something, Mikayla came and did everything for me and she looked at me with sympathy and said 'Lex, dont mess this up you know we traveled far to get here and I know that you have had trouble like when you spilled hot water on Lady Celina from our precious home. I beg you please we need to stay here they pay better than other jobs and we get decent jobs.'

'Okay, I do my best for you Kay, you helped me so much and without I could be on the streets so I am going all of this for you.' Her face soften and she smiled and said 'That was sweet but you aren't doing this for me but the lady who gave us the job, Mrs Warton.' She was right if she didn't take us in then we would be on the streets without absolutely nothing. 

At that moment Mrs Warton walked in and she was pleased at our work, well more like Mikayla's but she told us that if carried on working like this then we could be permanently here and I smiled that I was finally going to be accepted. She told us that we could have 10 minute break and Mikayla looked at each other and we turned to face Mr Warton, and then said 'Thank you, M'Lady we are glad that we have pleased you and we are happy that you have taken us in. After those words left my mouth me and Mikayla left and headed to our room.

When we reached there we saw the one and only bitch, Leah with another girl at her side and she came storming to us 'YOU!' she pointed at me and I replied with 'Yes..' 

'HOW DARE YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME!' Her eyes were literally popping out and then I took a deep breathe and said 'I am sorry that I talk to you like that. I had no right when I barely know you. From now on you stay out of my path and I'll stay out of yours and maybe we can become acquaintances at least.' Her mouth dropped right open and Mikayla was surprised that I didn't have a outburst.

'Alright, you have one more chance and maybe we could become good friends but you keep your half and I'll keep my half.' she said

'Then we have a deal.' I held out my hand and she took it with that she and her companion took their leave. Me and Mikayla walked right into our room and we both collapsed on our own beds. For a few minutes we were quite until Mikayla spoke 'I can't believe you didn't shout at that bitch and you were so calm like that's the first time ever.' I just laughed at her comment as she was so right. 

'I am trying to better like I promise you that I  won't this mess this up.' She turned and looked at me and smile and returned the smile back.

'That's so sweet but we need to go, Mrs Warton is excepting us in the launderette.' I just sighed and jumped up to my feet and me and Mikayla left out rooms to go Mrs Warton. While walking we took the wrong turn and ended in the main hallway, which maids were meant to not go and then i saw him, My Charles. Wait...DID I JUST MY CHARLES!

I definately don't like him, Mikayla then whispers 'Walk with your head down, so we won't be recognized for being in the wrong area.'I simply nodded and walked with my head down and did';see that I bumped so hard into someone.

I became nervous and looked up to see a familiar blue eyes. It was Charles. I messed up big time and Mikayla is going to kill me big time.

'I am so sorry, My Lord I didn't see where I was going and I have to go, I have interrupted you and the rest of the corridor.' I curtsied and was walking away and then something caught my hand. It was Charles and he whispered in my ear 'Don't apologize, and I glad I came across you but don't call me My Lord, I want you to call me Charles.' My face was coming beet red and I whispered back.

'Only in private, I must be going my friend is waiting.' and I wiggled out his grip, then curtsied and I turned around to walk to Mikayla and took my leave. She was just staring and didn't even say anything. The weird thing the whole court stop working and stared at me and Charles like he was just a noble, why would anyone care.

'You know you are red, did he tell you that he wanted in you bed.' I my eyes widen and said 'NO! he just told me that I shouldn't apologized for bumping in to him, that's all. She didn't look convinced but that's all that happened really. Luckily we found Mrs Warton and she look at us 

'You are 2 minutes late it should be happening you must be on time.' She said angrily

'I am sorry we took a wrong turn and we had gone to the main hall and we tired to hide ourselves but I accidentally bumped into a noble.' I said

'Really, here are some rules seeing as you already broke one. Rule one. Never go into the main hall when it's day. Rule 2. Curfew is 10 pm and you must be in your room. Rule 3. You must be up 5 am everyday to begin daily tasks. Rule 4. There is an inspection every week to see if you had done your tasks. If you break or fail to doing any of these then it will result with a punishment unless someone takes the blame for you. Do you understand.' We nodded silently at requests.

'Excellent. Here are the clothes for Baroness Isabel De Brus, go to her room and put in her wardrobe. Don't mess up and the strip her bed sheets and clear her camber pots. Do you understand.'

'Yes M'Lady we will get right on it. Come Lexi we had to go.' Mikayla stated and she started walking we with me trailing behind her.

To be honest it was so hard Mikayla literally scowled me when I accidentally knocked down her perfume bottle. Luckily it was closed so there was spillage and I mentally face palmed myself. I was never really the one to do any work but this now my life and I need to learn if I want to survive being a normal irrelevant girl.

After we were done she told us that we were to wash the sheets in warm water then hang it up and guess what I could it but that's because I had to wash my own clothes as no one was going to do it for it.

We had repeated this routine 3 more times for a Countess and 2 Viscountess and Mrs Warton was pleased that it was to excellent standards. Then she told us that we could go down for dinner and then we could have a sleep.

I was so exhausted I soon as I hit my bed I couldn't even get up again and that was unusual. I told Mikayla to go and get her dinner as I really didn't want to stop. She then said thank you and left. 

I began getting bored whilst Mikayla was gone to dinner and probably enjoying herself with other maids so I decided to go and explore some of the areas of the castle.

While walking down I headed to the garden which was most likely to secluded as everyone was at dinner and no one would really like to walk here. I looked around and remember times when I would openly play in the gardens with my sister, but I haven't seen here in almost 2 and half years but I made the decision to leave. I loved how me and my sisters and brothers use to play in the gardens having fights and climbing trees, our father thought it was so not ladylike as I use to sword fight and shipped me off to Florence live me my mother's family. I remember my mother and a tear fell down my eye

In thought someone tapped me on the shoulders and I look up to see a familiar pair blue eyes and I held my breathe.
