His Personal Maid
By the time Sylvester stood up from his bed to the direction of the song, Desire had stopped singing and humming interchangeably.
She was already talking to herself, “I’m a slave, I’m nothing more than a slave. I come from the southern region, that’s who I’m meant to be”
Sylvester leaned against the door and kept on listening to everything Desire was saying about herself. He felt a pang of pain in his chest and for the first time, he felt bad for what he said.
“It was a snake and a whale” Desire lifted her head fast to see it was her master.
“My lord?” She stood up, not understanding what he had meant.
