Tammy's POVThe weekends were always harmonious and lovely. We didn't have to work all the time but I still loved to be in the kitchen to watch Mrs Manchester bake cookies and maize bread typically my favorites. I had not seen Hunter for the past two days after Mustafa's arrival and our chess tournament. I shouldn't have played against him but he actually smiled at me when I won. Then why did he flounce off....must have been because Mustafa hugged me....
Nah....cmon Tammy why would a guy like Hunter feel bad if a maid like you was hugged by somebody else,huh? Urgh! I felt so frustrated.
The smell of the kitchen was amazing and I wouldn't want to be any place else than this place right here. Mrs Manchester gave each of us something to do and today I was doing all the mixing.
"Add some more butter to that, Tammy." She told me as she showed Anika how to place the tray in the oven. I nodded getting the butter and adding two teaspoons to the mixture then continued to stir.
"Here you go,Tani" I gave her the mixture to fill the cookie trays.
"Mmmh,the smell in here is wonderful," Estacita's voice came from the entrance taking our attention. "What's cooking?" She crossed her hands
"We're baking actually," Ingrid said, whipping her hands on her apron
"Right!" She too in a deep breathe "By the way,has anyone seen,Jameson anywhere?" She asked getting a negative answer from all of us
"Pfft! Oh well," she rolled her eyes and left leaving confused.
"There you go Anika. I'll this to you now," Mrs Manchester smiled then turned to us "how's the going here?"
"All good," we replied in chorus and resuming to our work.
"Perfect! I'll be right back." She said then left the kitchen.
James and Carter walked into the kitchen while we were now cleaning up all the dishes and bowls.
"Mmmh smells delicious in here," Carter threw me a glance giving me one of dazzling smirks. I could feel my cheeks flush as I rolled my eyes and turned away washing my hands.
"Oh by the way,James, Ms Estacita was looking for you and she seemed pretty desperate," Ingrid apprised as I dried my hands on my apron.
"When was that?" He asked instantly
"Uh,few minutes ago." Ingrid added. James looked at Carter who just shrugged silently.
"I'll see you later,J" Carter tapped his shoulder as if urging him to go ahead. James looked at us then turned to leave for the stairs. Weird....oh well
"Has anyone seen my grandson anywhere?" Mrs Manchester appeared minutes later James had left.
"No,"
"Oh jelly beans! Where could he be?" Mrs Manchester held her forehead.
"He's at the back chopping logs of wood ma'am," Carter spoke after taking a large slurp of lemonade
"Good lord of mercy! What has gotten into him? He needs a perfect scolding for getting me all worried sick about him," she mumbled shuffling towards the counter and getting a saucer. She placed 3 freshly backed cookies on then then spilled honey on them which reminded of that night in his office when he...you know what he did, I lose my mind just thinking about that again.
"Pour me a glance of water,Tammy." Mrs Manchester jerked me out of my reminding thoughts.
"Yes ma'am," I did as she told me quickly. She placed the plate of honeyed cookies and the glass of water in a tray and lifted it.
