Sorry for the slow update. I'm so sorry guys.

This can't be happening. No, not now.

"What are you searching for Gloriana?!. You're messing up the whole room".. Aunt Tilly asked.

"No Aunt Tilly... I'm.... Holy Shit!!!. Those backstabbing girls."

I think those girls had something to do with it but I'm also not sure I told them I had her number.

Right now I need help and if I take this bodyguarding job. It should fend for my mother's health.

"Gloriana?? Don't tell me you are turning crazy already?!" Aunt Tilly asked.

What's always wrong with this lady...

"I'm not turning crazy Aunt Tilly... I'm crazy, infact I'm insane". I confirmed.

"What?.".

"I lost Queen Moira's number. That's my only option to.."

"What are you doing with a Queen's number Gloriana?!"

"Do you know where she works or her home address or maybe you could tell me her number...."

"Gloriana! What are you doing with a Queen's number?!!" She practically screamed at me.

"She gave me a job but now that I've lost her number I'm not sure if the job is still an option." I explained

"Wow.. ok. She gave you a job??!" Aunt Tilly seemed upset.

"Yeah she did.. why the long face Aunt Tilly?" I mean if I were her I'll be happy to hear that.

"Isn't it one of those maids job?" She sounded irritated now.

"Nope. It's a bodyguarding job. Like she wants me to bodyguard her daughter" I explained.

"Huh. Like for real?!" Ok why does she sound all angry now.

"Yeah. Why are you mad now?!" I practically raised my voice at her.

"How could you loose her number?. Do you know how much her bodyguards are paid?. They're like up to a million dollars."

"How do you know that?" Honestly how does she know so much about her.

"I used to work there. I mean I worked there when I was younger" she said.

"Wait you worked there?.. how come you don't have money?" I challenged her.

She's been like forever broke.

"Like I said the bodyguards are paid well." She repeated ignoring my question.

"Yeah then how do that affect you so much.?" I asked.

"I worked as a maid and as you expected I wasn't paid well" she shifts uncomfortably on her seat. "That's why I don't have money like you said earlier.". She finished

"Oh. But you never told my Mom about this?."

"Are you expecting me to be happy and proud about being a maid Gloriana?!".

"Woah!. Calm down Aunt Tilly. I'm just asking".

I know it may sound stupid but sometimes I can't help myself when I'm curious and right now I'm damn curious about Aunt Tilly's past.

"You know what Gloriana?. I'm going to come clean about everything." She assured me.

I nodded interestingly.

"I used to work for her you know, as her maid Gloriana. She trusted me a lot and put me in charge of a lot of things. A year later a new bodyguard came and you know, I" she made some signs I couldn't get with her hand.

"You?" I made the same sign back at her

"Yeah". She plainly replied.

"I mean what's?". I did what she did and she frowned at me.

"I fell for him and you know, we made love Gloriana." She explained.

"Oh"

"Yeah and he promised me a lot of things like we having our own place and kids. You know, a lot of stuff that's cool. So I believed him. He lied to me about his salary saying Queen Moira wasn't paying him well and that she was threatening him to lie down with her." She stared at me as if asking if I was listening.

"Yeah. I get you Aunt Tilly" I nodded.

"Well, me being his girl just wanted to protect him so I took some money from Queen Moira's account so we could run and start our lives together. I was so stupid Gloriana. I didn't know he was lying to me so I stole some money from her and when she found out he was gone. She just kicked me out and I'm glad she didn't send me to jail. But I still regret every decisions I made back then." She said.

"I'm sorry you had to experience that Aunt Tilly". I seem to be apologizing for what wasn't my fault but I know it's still gon break her heart if I didn't.

She just nodded and that's when it started. She started crying and this made my heart break. I stood up and went over her while I placed my hand on her head, she squeezed me in and cried out her heart.

We stood there for five minutes or so before she regained her posture.

"I'll help you Gloriana." Aunt Tilly said.

"For real?" I beamed with joy.

For once, Aunt Tilly agreed with me and she wants to help me too. I love this new Aunt Tilly. I pray she'll be like this for a while honestly.
