Bing!! Bing!!! "Stupid alarm" I grumbled as I move to my alarm turning it off " am just gonna sleep for five minutes more"I said to myself. ARE SURE? FIVE MORE MINUTE OR TWO HOURS MORE. my subconsciousness asked me. "Shut up bitch" I said inwardly falling back to my dreamless sleep. My moment of peace was shattered when my window was open letting in the ray of early morning sunshine, "Damnit ! Who the fuck is that" " Watch your mouth young lady, no cussing this early, get up you need to drop off this supplies at Mr Williams, he ask for it early" mum said as she walk out of my room. I sit up from my bed gritting my teeth as I move into my bathroom for my morning routine while cussing. " Mum am down, were are you"I yelled once I got downstairs "Over here darling, in the kitchen"she yelled back as I move toward the kitchen.
I skipped down the stairs as I made my way to the kitchen were my mum was cooking, I was very happy since Lauren came two days ago after I sent her to help me check on Wilson stating that he was doing fine. She said he was pre- occupied that was why he could'nt come to see me and he also sent me chocolate which was one of my favourite. "Hey mum, what are you up to this beautiful morning" I ask smiling at her as she turned toward me. " Darling you look bright, I was just arranging the milk incase it was to be ordered for, so I won't need to start preparing it again" she said as she picked up the tray of milk,placing it on the kitchen cabinet " that remind me, have you thought about it dear" I stare at her and grumbled, my mum as be trying to persuade me to join the contest since it had been announce that the King need a bride and all the single maiden from the age bracket of twenty to twenty eight are welcome to
I trip on the stairs as I walk straight to were my mum was in the kitchen, call me clumsy but I just could'nt focus after what had happen. " Morning mum" I greeted as picked some cookies dumping them into my mouth as my mum stared at me in concern. "Baby, what the problem? Why the sudden change of heart?what happen yesterday at Lauren place" I wanted to break down at the mention of that name but I don't want my mum to get worried about me. " Mum am fine, I never went to see Lauren yesterday I change my mind and I decided to be alone to think that was how I came up with the decision to join the competition, I hate seeing you work so hard to fend for us,so am gonna do anything the help" "Awwn darling" she cooed " are you sure?you really do look down and they are bags around your eyes, have you been crying Rosy?" "No mum I got something in my eyes yesterday" " Is it me?you don't have to join the competition if yo
I sat on my small bed in the corner of my room lost in thought as I lay my hands on my chin. My head jolted up as I heard my name being called down the stairs. "Rosy!! get down here" standing I took off down the stairs, I saw my mum. I stood in front of my mum " Yes mum,you called me" she observe me discreetly and that got me suspicious. " Why did you sign up for the competition and what happen yesterday" she exclaimed as she scrutinize my face. Yeah yesterday was indeed a sad day for me. After I had realize that my stupid boyfriend never even had a thing for me and my best friend who I took like a sister was sleeping with my boyfriend behind my back, yet still have the got to look me in the face all this while and act like nothing is wrong. " Mum,ple....e..se let not talk about this now am not in the mood to remember what I went through and, and..." I stuttered trying to find the right word,Once my mum saw tears briming out of my eyes she grab my han
I slammed the door fustratedly as I went to sit down on the couch grumbling to my disappointedly. Yeah, I was disappointed myself, yesterday the result of the competition were out and since we ha no television in our house, my mum went to our neighbours to watch the announcement and I slept of before she came back. So this morning I woke up looking for my mum only to find out that she was not around, on locating her, she told me I was not picked and she look really sad.I sat down brooding over my situation, I really wanted to get picked so i could help mum, it seems like the competition love me but my house love me more. I resign to my fate as I thought about were I could start looking for jobs. Still very sad today was Tuesday and the girls are to go too the palace on Friday assuming I was picked I would have been preparing by now, mom had packed some of my bag,she was very optimistic but all hope had gone down the drain.I showered and headed out in n se
My mum offer Mr Luke to sit as he brought out some other papers."These are for you to sign" he said to me handing me the other sheet as I went through it."Now the rest is knowing some of the rules which are not mentioned on the sheet" he said.First he told me that I was not to criticize any other girl aloud nor harm another,and re told me there will b challenges put out for us to do he said I should read the sheet to get more clarification.I opened the file and flip through the pages as I read it. First it said we were not to speak to the king unless spoken to, am not allowed to wonder around, we are not allowed to get too close to other male, I was are not to touch the king. I rolled my eyes as I read that, who put such as rule. Like I will touch the old grumpy king on my own will and finally you are not to take any lady as your bestfriend and the first week there will be no task cause we are to settle in.By the end he told me that he would come on M
I stood at the door to my room, staring at it for the last time. Well today is the D-day were I gat to go to the castle, I can't wait to be there ' note the scarsam' I carried my small bag were I packed the little things I was going to need over there, closing my door before heading downstairs to were my mum and my neighbours were waiting for me, As I came in view I saw my mum and some of the neibour at our living room, I was really suprise that they came to wish me goodbye since I hardly associate with them. At the sound of my footsteps, my mum turn to me, give I me one of those her energetic smile. "Oh! My!!darling look at you, you look beautiful and all grown up now" she said walking to me, as I stare at her in shock at her outburst " oh baby, it was like yesterday when you were still my little girl who wouldn't leave my side, now look at you today going away, am so proud of you"she said gushing at me and going on and on about how big and beautiful I have gott
We got to the palace after passing through a long line of security procedure at the gate. The drive got down immediately and ran toward my side opening the door for me. I got out and whispered a thank you to him before taking in the sight before me in awe. The building were very magnificent but the one that caught my attention was the middle one, it stood tall among the other mansion and it was absolutely stunning. It was literally made of glass and words could'nt decribe how beautiful it is, the other building around it were also good looking but right now I am so inlove with my glass mansion. I was still staring in awe with my mouth wide open until I heard a low chuckle from behind me causing me to stumble back to reality, I looked behind me from where the sound came from only to find ayoung man of about his late twenty's staring at me with I smile on his face,I thought he looked familiar as I looked at him trying to remember were I knew him from, I face pal
