Garden Boy

Chapter 6

Selena POV

"I'm very disappointed in you. Not only you let that garden boy hold your sister, but you defended the help" my mother clenches her teeth, tying the strings of my dress quite roughly. I winced due to how harsh she pulled the strings, and tied it.

"You are better than that, you are classy and he's dirty!"

"He's a human being mother, not a pig" I said, earning a rough turn over to my mother as she looks at me in rage.

"There you go again with you defending him, Stop disappointing me!"

"I defend who I want, I'm not disappointing anyone! In matter of fact, Gracie wanted Zayn to hold her!"

"Oh so it's 'Zayn' now?"

"Stop it mother! I don't want to argue with you anymore!" I shouted in frustration, breathing a bit unsteadily as I tried to control it.

"I'm keeping a close eye on him, especially during the dinner since he was hired to be a waiter"

Zayn's going to be at the dinner?

And as a waiter?

I couldn't help but tense up to the thought of Zayn being at the dinner. It would be awkward since that whole scene she caused earlier. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of him.

"Now turn, I need to finish your fitting" she said, responding to her orders as I turned and she continued to make my chest suffocate with her pulling and tying.

Could this get any worse?

========================

Zayn POV

"She got her own thing

That's why I love her

Miss Independent

Won't you come and spend a little time?

She got her own thing

That's why I love her

Miss Independent

Ooh the way you shine

Miss Independent yeah"

I sang, digging holes out to plant some tulips in.

It's been a whole day since I last saw Selena, and to be honest, I feel empty without seeing her around me. I think I might of got her into some trouble with her mother, though I didn't mean too.

I should of known better though, I'm poor and I can get into trouble for anything with the wealth.

"Hey Zayn" a voice catches my attention, I look up as I notice that maid with a pink maid uniform on.

"Oh, hi"

"I just thought I'd bring you a glass of lemonade" she smiles, holding up a tray with two glasses of ice cold lemonade.

"Oh thanks uh.....?"

"Demi, my name's Demi"

"Thanks Demi, I appreciate it" I smiled, taking a glass as I take a sip.

"No problem, it's hot outside so why not?" she shrugs, placing down the tray with the other glass in her hand.

"So your going to be volunteering as a waiter for the dinner, right?"

"Yeah, I was hired to actually"

"I have to as well, after all I am a maid and waitress"

"Ha yeah, the nightmare of working for the wealth" I joked, both of us chuckling as I take another sip of my lemonade.
