a story about two different people with different lives meeting in their complicated world
scarlet K...
"What day ... ?" I asked with a low voice. Me speaking seemed to have an effect on Mr. Knight as he shook his head of whatever it was that he was thinking about. But what surprised me was the expressionless face he gave me in return.
"It's nothing you need to be worried about, Miss Kristof. I thank you again for saving my son's life, now if you will excuse me, I will be leaving now. If you need anything just call and help will come."
I felt bad as I watched Mr. Knight leave the room. I must have crossed some sort of line. I need to be more careful. That was the last thing I thought of before sleep consumed me.
"Miss. Miss Kristof." Who is that? What do they want? I am tired! I want to sleep! "Miss Kristof." I opened my eyes to see a maid standing beside the bed.
"Um, what time is it?" I asked with a slight grogginess in my voice.
"It is seven A.M., miss. Breakfast is ready. The master has asked me to help you get ready and downstairs.
"It's morning already? I can't believe it! I don't remember falling asleep." I looked around then at the girl all with mixed feelings.
"Well, it was really late when you guys returned." The maid bluntly pointed out. "The bath has already been drawn. Allow me to assist you with your wound." I nodded as I sat up and she helped me out of bed. I winced a bit in pain but powered through it. We walked towards the bathroom and I expected her to leave me to my own designs but she stayed holding me upright.
"Um, what are you doing?"
"Master said I must help you. He insisted that you need to be careful and that I need to be around to help you at all times." I smirked at the girl.
"No thanks. You should wait out here. I won't be too long, and please, don't call me 'miss Kristof'. Call me 'Scarlet'." I closed the door and locked it. God the bathroom was super nice. The bathroom was as big as the bedroom! There was a jacuzzi in the middle and a big shower.

I couldn't keep in my ah as I walked towards the mirror. Then I gasped. My hair was a big mess and I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I took off my clothes and let them fall onto the tiled floor. I went to the shower and turned it on. It warmed up quickly, which I didn't know showers could do, then hopped in. I washed myself and made sure to be careful with my stitches and bandages. It stung but I pushed through it.
I felt bad for ignoring the bubble bath that the maid had prepared but I guessed that it would have been hard on my wound.
The shower took forever, especially because I was enjoying it way too much, but once I was done, I slipped into a bathrobe then brushed my teeth with the electric toothbrush and expensive toothpaste that was there. Before I could brush out my hair, there was a knock at the door.
