Peace
RAYNE’S POV
Waking up with the streams of early morning sunlight shining brightly on my face.
The whole atmosphere was peaceful.
I wasn’t able to see Mrs. Lawns last night, because I was so tired.
I got up lazily into a sitting position and yawned tiredly.
I heard a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” I asked.
“Good morning ma’am, this is the head maid.” the person said from outside.
“What do you want?” I asked lazily.
“To get you ready for breakfast ma’am.” she replied.
I groaned tiredly, how could I have forgotten how they worked here.
“Give me a sec.” I said and got up to go open the door.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“I’ll go take a quick shower.” I informed her and walked into the bathroom.
I took off my clothes and started taking my shower.
I couldn’t wait to see Mrs and Grand Mrs Lawn’s.
I got out of the bathroom a few hours later wrapped in a towel.
“Ma’am I picked this outfit for you.” The maid said while showing me a royal blue outfit she had picked for me.
“Can’t I wear something casual?” I asked tired of getting all ready for just a breakfast meeting.
“I’m sorry ma’am but that’s not how it works.” she replied.
“Whatever.”I scoffed and collected the clothes from her to get dressed in the closet.
I dried my hair and wore the dress she gave me. She also picked out a matching shoe and jewelry for the dress.
“How do I look.” I said turning around for her to take the view.
“I bet they’ll like it, the dress suits you.” she said with an innocent smile.
I walked down the corridor all the way down the stairs to the large dining area where breakfast was being held.
“Good morning mother.” I greeted Mrs Lawns with a bright smile and she returned the greetings too gladly.
“Morning everyone.” I greeted and sat down close to Ann.
I looked around but couldn’t find Grand Mrs Lawn’s.
“Where’s grandma?” I asked Ann in whispers.
“She is out of the country for a medical checkup.” Ann replied.
“I hope she’s okay.” I said
“She’s fine, it’s just one of her regular illnesses, she has got a blood pressure issue.” Ann said before stuffing her mouth with some stakes.
“Where’s Elaiana?” I asked, noticing I haven’t seen her anywhere.
“She’s gone back to Washington DC, she has a shot in two days and has to get ready.” she replied.
How did no one tell me about this? they kept it from me.
“Why didn’t she inform me, she just left like that.” I complained.
“She didn’t want to stress you, you know due to your condition.” Ann said.
“What condition?” Mrs Lawn asked all of a sudden.
Oh my God, I didn’t know she was eavesdropping on our conversation.
“I asked a question girls, what condition?” she said again looking at the both of us one at a time.
“Mom, you don’t have to know everything.” Jessica said.
“It’s fine, Ann was just talking about my anger issues.” I said.
“Oh you’ve got anger issues, I bet I do too and it only gets worse when you’re pregnant.” she said.
And I accidentally spilled water on my clothes immediately after she said pregnant.
“Are you okay?” Jessica asked calmly.
“I’m fine, I think I rushed a bit.” I said.
“Dear take it easy.” Mrs Lawn said and I nodded in agreement.
“I’ll go put on something else, I’ll finish my breakfast in my room.” I said and got up.
“Follow her and make sure she’s fine.” Mrs Lawn’s assigned a maid to go with me.
I ran up the stairs in embarrassment. What was I thinking that made me spill water on my dress all because she mentioned pregnancy.
I got to my room and sat down on the bed.
“Ma’am.” the maid called.
“It’s okay, just go get me my breakfast, I’ll have breakfast here.” I said to her and waved her off and she left.
I got up and cleaned myself up, took off the dress and wore a new one, a more casual cloth.
The maid arrived a few minutes later with my breakfast in a tray.
“Here you go ma’am.” she said as she dropped the tray on the stool beside me.
‘Thank you, I’ll let you know when I’m done.” I told her and she left.
“Rayne.” Ann called as she walked in.
“What happened?” she asked as she sat next to me.
“I don’t know why but I freaked out when she talked about pregnancy.” I explained.
“You don’t have to freak out, you need to get used to this now.” she said.
“I Know but this whole mother thing is driving me insane.” I said out loud.
“Come here girl, it’s all gonna be okay, it’s gonna be a safe delivery.” she assured me.
“Thanks Ann.” I said, hugging her.
“I wondered what I could have done without you and Elaiana.” I said.
“A Lot of things you don’t know.” she teased and we both laughed.
“I’ll go get your things in the car now, so you’ll get going.” Ann said.
I seriously don’t want to leave now but I have a hike out there with my husband and I think he must have missed me so much.
“Let me finish with my breakfast and join you.” I replied.
“It’s okay, when I said I, I meant I’ll order the maids to do so, stressing you is off limits for now Rayne.” she said then bent over and whispered to me.
“You’re a soon to be mother.” she whispered with light giggles and I smiled.
“I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.” she said and walked out.
I finished with my food and went down to meet her.
“Bye mother.” I said as she engaged me in a tight hug.
“Your marriage is your pride, my love, don’t let rumors ruin it.” she whispered to me.
“Bye Rayne.” Jessica said as she hugged me too.
“Ann common I’ll visit anytime.” I said to Ann who was grumbling.
“Promise me you won’t get a new best friend.” she said.
“I promise.” I said.
“Then pinky swear.” she insisted.
“I pinky swear.” I said as we did the pinky swear sign.
“I love you bestie.” She said as she hugged me.
“I hate you.” I whispered to her and she hit me lightly then we laughed at each other.
I waved at them then got into the car and the driver zoomed off.
