I Was Just An Ordinary Lady Novels & Stories

That lady declined. "No, thank you. This child has just asked me about it," she uttered, signalling towards Kaya. Zia beamed. She was already familiar with Kaya's softened heart. "Aunty, were you going somewhere?" Iris asked, curiously, to that lady. That lady smiled with a nod. "Yes, I was walking home because I couldn't reach the bus station on time and there was no taxi or any lift either and in the middle of my way, I felt thirsty and my water bottle was empty too," she informed. Iris wagged her head.

No rest for the weary rebel girl masquerading as a scullery maid. The week dragged on, each day blending into the next monotonously. I went through the household motions playing my role, all hope of uncovering some legendary keeper powers fading more each time I saw Lena just...reading in the parlor, or napping in the gardens. Nothing even mildly remarkable. She was just an ordinary pampered lady, no matter what wild rumors claimed. An utter dead end for my mission.

A theory unsupported by evidence. Completely unsupported. Yet she remained convinced. One night she stood in the middle of the living room delivering her narration with remarkable intensity while Adrian sat on the sofa pretending to be a member of the audience. Ava watched from nearby. Amused. Comfortable. Happy. The scene felt ordinary. Wonderfully ordinary. Something she once believed would always remain out of reach. Interesting. Very interesting.

I wanted to feel like an ordinary woman doing ordinary things, even if just for an hour.

"I can do this myself, Jaxx," I had told him before we left the house, adjusting the strap of my casual linen dress. The fabric felt soft against my skin, a small comfort in the midst of chaos. "It's a supermarket. People don't get assassinated over a carton of almond milk."

The lady asked carefully sticking her eyes out from the thick lenses of her glasses. The thought of my tragic love life had swept over me and the feeling was just pitiful that it almost made me sick on the inside. "Uhm… I’m still very much single, hehehe." I replied faking an awkward and uncomfortable chuckle. "Oooh, that’s so unfortunate for such a handsome man.” The old lady continued and although it’s not in her pure intentions to sound pitiful, it really came off like that. “I'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch of girls out there who wants to have a piece of what's down under there."

You're so wrong when you said that you're just an ordinary girl" "Why didn't I meet you earlier before I lay my eyes on Aiden?" I said truthfully

I was worried about everything but he handled the matter flawlessly "Yes I must say...she's like a small model..dear have you ever thought about being a model, "the second lady who joined us said touching my hair. She had beautiful brown hair falling to her waist. I loved her big eyes "No...I'm not a...fan of cameras"I said, trying not to talk too much. We were already sitting at a table and drinks were delivered to us. It was awkward sitting with these people who had something to show off for. Like the lady with gloves, she was some famous business lady. She said she used to be a model but now she isn't.
