Two Worlds , One Heart

chapter 5

       2 Weeks later.

***********************

        Anika was sweeping the house when she heard a knock.  She quickly unlocked the door. She was met by an unfamiliar face.

    "Um may i help you."She asked timidly. She glanced at his hands and saw that they were holding bags.

"Yes." the figure replied. "Can You tell Jack's dad that Drew's here." he flashed another smile.

Anika nodded she gestured for him to take a seat in the living room.

She hurried away and went towards 'Master's' office. She knocked softly.

"Come in." he groaned. She opened the door just a track.

"Uh... a boy named Drew is here." At that he jumped up and hurried past her.

    She followed and stopped at the corner hiding her face in the shadows.

"So where's Jack?" Drew asked.

"In the barn or something , remember what your here to do." Jack's dad said sternly. She guessed that Drew just nodded since he made no reply.

"By the way your room is next to Jack's , you are staying for a while." And with that he rounded the same corner Anika was hiding in. She pressed her back into the wall hoping he just walked right by. He did.

'What is he here to do?' she asked herself clutching at her heart.

°°°

  Drew shuffled upstairs to the room Mr. Willis assigned him to. He dropped his bags with a thump and collapsed unto the bed exhausted.

He sat up and examined the room. It was a nice green color and it had already been prepared for his stay. His stomach grumbled as he began to think. He chuckled. What did Mr. willis say the slaves name was Annie.

Oh well he shrugged."Annie."

   After a few moments he heard footsteps up the stairs and she was suddenly face to face with him. Drew's chocolate brown eyes shone when he saw her. She was beautiful. For a slave. He smirked at that.

"Annie would you fetch me some food." he asked politely. She turned around ,but stop.

"Its Anika , not Annie." There was a bit of an edge to her voice that he didn't like. Drew took a step forward and leaned into her ear the space that was there was invaded by his presence.

"Yes Anika." He felt her tremble against him. His lower half almost responded to that ,but he kept under control. She dashed through the door ,but bumped into a hard chest. She slowly lifted her eyes to blue ones. Jack.

     Quickly she stepped back and muttered a thank you and left to go get Drew some food. Why does the sudden mention of his name send her heart rushing. was it excitement or terror.

Maybe both.

   "They told me you were gonna be here." Jack muttered, scaring Drew.

"Oh hey, i was just gonna-."

"Save it." He cocked his head to one side."Tell me the real reason why your here if it's to take Anika then i swear to God i'll-."

"you'll what , kill me , beat me, what Jack , why are you so attached to her!"

  His face turned a beet red."I just think- never mind." He began to walk away.

"Oh and Jack." He paused waiting for Drew to continue.

"I'll take great care of her, great care-." Drew never got to finish because jacks fist had caught his cheek. 

"You son of a-." 

  Anika stood at the doorway watching in shock. The tray in her hands shook because her hands were trembling. Jack lowered his fist and forced himself to let go of Drew's shirt.

    Drew smirked. Anyone who saw Jack act this way around the slave would say he liked maybe loved her. Drew pulled his gaze from Jack's and focused it on Anika. She was indeed beautiful. He wanted her.

She panted softly as he met her gaze.

"Your-your...l-l-lunch is r-re-ready." she stuttered placing the trey firmly on the dresser near his bed. It mad a smack sound. She tried as best she could to hide her trembling hands.
