I'm Yours

Chapter 3: Just Sign The Dotted Line

Chapter 3:

"Miss..." A gentle voice called as I slept. "Miss you need to wake up."

My lazy eyes fluttered open slightly and saw a young girl at the end of the bed. She walked over one of the big windows and threw the curtain open. My eyes squinted at the light coming through and sat upright in the comfortable pillows. The girl walked over to the other side and through those open. The whole room was now lit by the sunlight, it was beautiful.

"Who are you?" I asked pushing the white blanket off my legs.

"I'm Anna." The young girl said, "Mr Blake assigned me as your maid/personal assistant." She smiled. Anna looked about the same age as me, maybe even younger and was a maid.

"Umm Anna what exactly is it that you do for me?" I asked

"Well I do what I just did. I make your bed, do your laundry, and tell you what you do for the day as in events. Just anything to help you." She nodded. "Miss, you need to get out of bed. You have been sleeping since yesterday afternoon and you have a bit of a busy day ahead of you."

I left off the warm bed and looked around. Outside looked really big the garden was green and simple and on the other side there was a huge pool. I looked over to Anna, she looked busy fixing the sheets. "Miss, once you've had your shower. Mr Blake will be downstairs in the dining room waiting for you to have your breakfast." Anna said walking to me with two towels, I take them and nodded thanking her. I make my way to the bathroom and it looked six times the size of her old bathroom. The walls were a dark grey stone covering all four sides of the wall. The entire back wall was a double shower with a glass screen, there was a giant bath in front of the shower with a circular window on the wall and opposite that was the identical sinks next to each other with a mirror taking up the entire wall. It was amazing, my mouth hung open and walked in taking it all in. I stripped from my clothes from the day before and stepped inside the shower relaxing under the warm water.

After my shower I walked back into the bedroom with my towels wrapped around my body. Anna was gone and the bedroom was neat. I walked into the wardrobe closing the door behind me and turned the light switch on. I nearly had a heart attack, there were so many clothes, shoes everything. The wardrobe was the same size as the bathroom, the clothes were sorted out in sections. Shirts in one part, short, then dresses, skirts and shoes. There was a remote hanging on the wall so I pressed a button to see what would happen and the shoes on the wall started moving, it was truly amazing.

I put on a casual black and white striped shirt with skinny pale blue skinny jeans. I got out of the bedroom and tried to remember the way I came from yesterday but this place was way too big that I officially nicknamed it 'The Palace.' I went down the two flights of stairs and came to the foyer of 'the palace.' This part seemed familiar so I walked down the hallway and tried looking for the dining room. A scent filled my nose as I walked. It smelt like bacon! I followed the smell and came to the kitchen, but it wasn't the dining room. I saw a man around the age of late thirties with a round tummy and a grey beard at the kitchen stove cooking away.

"Umm excuse me?" I asked looking around trying to find the dining room. Oh my Gods! Where is the bloody dining room?

"Yes ma'am?" The man asked, his French accent was strong but he was focusing more on the cooking.

"I was just wondering where the dining room was." I muttered still looking around. I heard the man softly laugh.

"I know, this place is very big isn't it." The man asked. I nodded in agreement, "The dining room and down that hallway." The man pointed down another long hallway.

I smiled and nodded about to walk away when I said, "Merci [Thank you.]" I heard the man laugh and nod his head. My aunty had taught me French when I was twelve because I wanted to go to France and see the Eiffel Tower. Aunt Holly always promised that I would soon go and see it but with the money problems and everything, we couldn't. As I came out of the hallway in the middle of the room was a large and narrow mahogany dining table with matching chairs all pushed in.
