One Night With The King

ch 2

Marianna's Pov

I just finished my shift, i changed my clothes and moved to the sink to splash water on my face because i was feeling nausea.

I felt the cold breeze on my face immediately i stepped outside the inn, it's past 11 o'clock and its dark, drunk people and escorts on the pedestrian road. The streets were illuminated by Street lights.

My house was not far from the inn so i don't need to take a bus. Getting to my street, i can only hear the sound of my footsteps, which means everyone has called it a night. I unlocked my door and moved to my little sitting room.
I dropped my bag and slumped to the old couch, its the only couch i have and it has been here for ages. I don't worry about that though because its just me and it will always be just me.

Not that i like my lonely life but i have no other choice. Sometimes it surprises me how i have no goal in life, all i worry about is money to sustain me, but i work for it.

I decided to take a hot shower before i go to bed. My bathroom is also small, in fact everywhere is small, But i don't mind.

adjusting the temperature of the shower i stepped under it. It immediately calmed my nerves. After taking a shower, i cleaned my body with a fluffy towel, slipped into my PJ and went to the bed to sleep.

As tired as i was ,i thought immediately i lay on the bed, i'll be in my dreamland but as usual i felt so restless. I don't have a single clue of why i always feel this way but i let it slide.After sometime, i manage to fall asleep which is a good thing.

The sensation of a piercing light that am feeling on my eyes is so irritating right now. Groaning, i stretched to get rid of sleep. I got up from the bed and walked lazily into the bathroom to do my business. It was eight o'clock, i still have like one and half hour to do my daily routine before i go to the inn.

When i finish dressing up, i moved to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Of course my kitchen is also small, most of it is made of wood which is also showing the sigh of fading out.

I made pancakes just enough for me. I don't like wastage so i have the habit of eating all my food. A sat down to eat, i covered my pancakes with strawberry jam, because its my favorite.

I ate everything as usual and took the plate to the sink, making a mental note to wash them when am back. With that, i took my bag and got out of the house.

When i got to the inn, madame Claire was already there eyeing me as usual, sometimes i wonder why she does that. I went to the back where workers change,  i put on a purple camisole and a leather skirt that stop just below my knee.

I stood i front of the mirror to take a good look at myself. I must say, i have my own share of beauty and curves but its still moderate, i have a curly black hair that falls to my slender waist. My dark chocolate brown eyes stared back at me.
I applied a little makeup on my face to brighten me up a little. Then i stepped out side to begin my work.

Its already evening and i had my break, just few hours and I'll be out of here. I was in the  kitchen when madame Claire rushed in breathing hard"girls! Listen up, this evening i am having a very important guest. So you all should be in your best behaviours is that clear?". "Yes madame C!".some said, while some just rolled their eyes.

I wonder who the guest was, that got madame C all worked up. Hmmm must be pretty important. "Oh my God! Did you see her face?, she looked like she was going to get a heart attack".a girl joked. "The person must be rich also"said another girl.

The chatter went on and on as we busied our selves with work. Forty minutes later, madame C came barging in again. "My guest is in the restaurant right now and have ordered oysters for dinner,so i believe you can make that happen as fast as possible. We do not want to keep my guest waiting." I couldn't resist the urge to roll my eyes at her last statement. Her attitude is on overdrive, i don't even know how she manage to own an inn. If the gossip is true, that means.....

"MARIANNA!".i was snapped out of my thought, it was only now i realize i have a big frown on my face, which she did not fail to notice. The next thing she said made me froze in my place. "Marianna, you will be serving my guest." She said with an evil smirk on her face.

Not that am shy or anything, but its just that I've never served her important guests before. It has always been Lydia who served them. And i can't help but feel worried about this.

Am shaking, i don't know why am shaking, but i am. I am on my way to serve the guest, i held the tray tightly so that i don't drop it. When i got to the entrance of the inn, i stopped to scan the place with my eyes to know where the guest is. When my eyes caught madame C smiling like a bimbo, i knew I'll see the guest.

My eyes trailed to the man sitting opposite her, i had to lean on the wall to stop my self from falling. Is that a person?, he is dead gorgeous.

My eyes moved over his face to take in his features, he has brown curly hair which i want to run my hands through. What?  Mari,  get a grip of your self. My subconsciousness warned. Oh his eyes,they look so sexy though i do not know the colour but they look so captivating. Oh sweet Jesus, Marianna you need holy water right now!

I managed to snap out of my evil thoughts, i composed my self and said. "Marianna,you can do it" yes!  I believe i can. Then i continued my journey to their table.
