Anelia felt light-headed. She involuntarily pinched the collar of her t-shirt and fanned herself. It was suddenly all too hot in the room and yet the heat had nothing to do with room temperature. As if only realising what she had been doing for the first time, Anelia scanned her t-shirt and abruptly stopped with the fanning.What was she doing?She took a huge gulp of air to calm her raving feelings. She patted her face and was surprised to find it hot. Mortified by her reaction, she headed up the stairs to her room cupping both cheeks as if her life depended on it. After a good cold face-wash, the red that had stained her face a few seconds prior had lessened, replaced by the familiar pale colour. She patted her face dry and applied some vaseline. She always applied vaseline to her face and it worked just fine for her. Her skin didn't break out but well, when she thought about her elementary skin routine, it was one brutal reminder just how disparate their lives were.And that was th

Dexter had really thought that he had seen it all when it came to Anelia Telford; standing on his chair, slapping him, throwing eggs at his back, the list went on but, clearly he had thought wrong. Or was it that she had proved him wrong? She seemed to have a knack for doing that and he was starting to find it very amusing.  Dexter sat back in his chair and watched as Anelia's face slowly become a rosy pink. The scene alone was quite unbelievable but

Anelia occasionally threw the man that sat behind the steering wheel scathing looks, as the car wheezed past endless rows of trees. To think she had believed that they would be transported to and from Mrs Hally's place by the truck. She narrowed her eyes at him and simultaneously folded her arms to prove her point. It only further exasperated her that he was doing a great job at ignoring her by smoothly focusing on the road. When she still failed to solicit any significant reaction from him, she huffed and looked at him."You know, I can't believe you tricked me," she spoke out."Tricked you?" He reiterated her statement in form of a question. "Yes! If I had known your intentions earlier, I would never have agreed to this!" She flailed her arms and gestured to the car whose interior alone made her uneasy. She had literally jumped into the car earlier because she could not risk standing there and possibly being spotted by any of the other employees. Most especially the Dappers. When

Never would Anelia have thought that there would come a day when she would get to meet all the Black brothers at once. And she would have never thought that it was going to be on the very day that she so happened to go to the place that they had all grown up in.They were all currently sitting in the dining room. The beautiful Kreiss dining room set had a large mirror on the other end of the wall to add to it's ornateness as well as creating that much more light in the dining room. There were all sorts of potted plants in the room to add some greenery to the extravagance; Anelia could not help but be in awe yet again.Luckily for Anelia, Dexter had chosen to sit just near Mrs Hally at the end of the table. The food had already been served by what she now knew were maids; their attire as well as their interaction with Mrs Hally was otherwise different from what she would have expected from an employer and her employees but, she was not overly surprised by that. Mrs Hally was one of the

Anelia laughed humourlessly and a little too loud to try and do away with the awkwardness the silence brought into the room. Silence that the two people in the room were equally responsible for. Brett because he was waiting a response from her or at least Anelia thought that he was. Anelia because she still had not responded to his, was it even a question?  “Uh, I’m not s
