Chapter 6: Acting On Feelings

EMALIA'S POV.

 I wake up to the sun shining through my bedroom window. It's a wonder how I got to my bed after dinner last night. I don't remember climbing the stairs or even leaving the dinning hall. Hmmm, I wonder what happened. I sit up in my bed and look out the half covered by curtains window. It looks like such a nice day outside, maybe I'll go out today or maybe I'll ask for a tour of his grounds. I'm sure he'd enjoy my company. I remove the covers from my body and find that I am still wearing what I had worn to dinner last night. I never wear the same clothes to bed, I wonder why it happened last night.

I get up from the bed and roam over the my linen closet and get a towel in hopes that when Rosie comes to wake and dress me that she'll see the towel and take me for a washing. A bath is very much needed especially right about now. It would feel so refreshing and I'd feel more satisfied if Charles saw me today after having a bath.

Rosie enters my room a few minutes later, she walks to my bed and pick up the towel. She grabs my hand and starts leading me out of my room and to the houses bathroom. I follow obediently and not at all feeling lower than she, but equal to her. She is here to help me not to serve me. She opens the door and walks inside. After I'm inside she shuts the door behind us.

The bathroom is big and fancy. There are white tile floors and a gorgeous soaking tub, big enough to host a party in let alone just one man. There are also two windows on the opposite walls from each other. One sits right on the other side of the room from the door and the other window is on the corner just a few feet away. That tells me that this is the top corner of the house.

Rosie turns to me and starts around to stand behind me. She unties the laces at the back of last nights dinner dress. She pulls the skirt down and off the corset. She then pulls the corset from my body also. Leaving me standing in what I should have warn to bed. My maiden under-gown that is used also as a sleeping gown. It is still the first one I've gotten because a lady only gets more new ones when she has become deflowered. Which means that she no longer has her maiden hood, that she is a non virgin. It happens after she gets married, or if she sells herself for prostituting in whorehouses.

Rosie turns to the soak tub and turns on the water and test it multiple times before reaching for my hand to help me into it. I reach out my hand for her to gently take and she stands beside the tub as she leads me to step up the small stairs and then down the other side and I sit in the tub.

"I'll be right back, Emalia. I'll go get the soap for cleaning."

"Okay," I smile and she smiles back, hurrying out of the room.

I run my hands over and through the water and I suddenly find myself thinking about Charles. About how maybe I didn't bring myself to bed last night. That maybe it was him who carried me after I fell asleep in the dinning hall or something. I hear a few cupboards being opened and closed, must be Rosie. Charles is a very handsome man, I wonder what it would be like to hug him. I've never hugged him before and the only man I've ever hugged was my father. I've never been around very many men before, maybe that's why.

Rosie hurries back into the room and quickly shuts the door. She rushes over to the tub and pours various things into the tub water and shuts the cold tap off to make the water hotter and more relaxing. She places two bottles next to me.
