After our conversation, I was sent to my room. When I arrived I saw a gift basket on the bed. It read 'for Emmelyn from house Manchester'.
I opened the gift basket, and there was a pretty pink teddy bear, a bag of Hershey nuggets, and- hold up! Is that right?! There was an iPhone 12 pro in there. I almost died.
I snatched the phone out of its box so quickly, I didn't even notice my other gifts… or the charger.
I pressed the power button and turned it on, then I took my sweet, irritating time trying to set up the iPhone. Once it was set up, I tried to download all the important apps like Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and a few games, but I realized I didn't have any WiFi. How devastating!
After mopping over not having WiFi, I went back to the gift basket.
There was a series 6 apple watch, the wall piece for the charger, a beautiful black side strap purse, and a handbag to go with it, and some perfume and a card at the bottom.
'Dear Emmelyn,
It's a pleasure to host you in our house, the WiFi password and our numbers are on the back of this card. We need you to act as King's foster sister when you go to King's school tomorrow. We know from past experiences that you might not be treated the best way, but please handle it responsibly. Don't post any social media saying you're the soon-to-be wife of King. Have a good night and get plenty of rest.
Yours truly-
Miria and John'
Oh my god! WiFi! These people are literally my savers.
I turned around after hearing my door open.
"My apologies, Miss Em, I was told to bring you your dinner. Tonight, you're having roasted pig, corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes and gravy with a drink of unsweet lemonade. I'm sorry if it's not to your liking, if you have any chance of being Mister King's future wife, you have to eat accordingly." Jessie laid out what looked like heaven on earth in front of me and I could feel my mouth water at just the sight.
It kinda smelled like sausage and bacon at the same time, but still mouth-wateringly delicious.
"It's very much to my liking. Thank you, Jessie." She bowed and left me in my room to eat in peace.
I noticed there was a balcony, and below it, a pool and hot tub, and a very large, neat yard. I could do cartwheels for days down there.
I turned to my food and took a sip of the unsweet lemonade. It was like water with a hint of sourness and sweetness. Overall, I would definitely drink it again without being forced.
I took my fork and picked up an already cut piece of meat and took a small bite of it.
My jaw tingled with delight and my tongue hopped on a roller coaster. It was the best thing I had after I had bacon for the first, and last, time.
I greedily finished the roasted pig, not realizing how hungry I was, and started with my corn.
It was perfectly ripe and very well seasoned, I could eat cob after cob if they tasted anything like this. I finished off my corn and went on to my mashed potatoes. They looked so creamy and white, I wondered if they were real.
I took a spoonful and put it in my mouth. If I could have died of happiness, my soul would've left my body that very second.
I stuffed spoonful after spoonful into my mouth before realizing I was already done with my food, and what a shame. It was delicious, though I couldn't complain, because now I was full. I looked around my room and saw an open door that looked like it led to my bathroom, and it did.
My bathtub was basically a jacuzzi and my shower was big enough to fit four people.
I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming or dead because everything I'd been given in the last hour was surreal.
I thought I could fantasize about living in a giant beautiful mansion, apparently, those fantasies were mere cottages compared to this.
I saw another door and I opened it to find it filled to the brim with outfits and shoes. They all looked so nice and expensive, even the ones that looked semi-normal looked made from hand and crafted to perfection.
I tried a few shoes on to test my luck and it seemed they were all the same size. I got hopeful so I took off my glasses and laid them on the counter, then I took off my shirt and slid right into an off-the-shoulder white blouse with puffy sleeves.
It was just my size! I looked at the tag and realized it has to be brand new and saw that it was a 14-16. Then I checked the other clothes and most were 14-16's, the others were 16-18's, but I wasn't complaining.
Happily, I took off the blouse and the rest of my clothes and reached for a face cloth and towel.
Then, I took the Dove body wash and ran a bath, there were actual jets in the bathtub, and I was ready to try them out.
I made the water boiling hot and turned on the jets once it was high enough for me, then dipped my leg in. It started tingling and kind of hurt because of how hot the water was, but that's just how I liked it.
I felt the jets hitting my lower back and legs and it made me feel happy and relaxed. I took the extremely soft face cloth and dressed it in the liquid-y soap. Then I lathered my body over and over again until I felt smooth like rubber but softer than I'd ever been.
I let out the bathwater and went into my closet to find a nightgown. I found a really pretty sage one with a button on it and slid it on, some of the underwear that was on the shelf too.
I looked under and in the counter and found lots of toiletries that I'd need and more importantly, Eco gel, a detangling brush, and loads of rubber bands.
I slid on some deodorant and then grabbed the detangler brush and ran it through my dry, coarse, matted hair.
I squirted some hairspray on it to make it easier to brush through and when I was done, I put some of their New Growth Hairspray on, although my hair was long enough, it just needed to be oiled. I slapped some Eco gel on it and put it in a ponytail to the back.
Then I took one of their scarves and wrapped it on.
Next, I brushed my teeth. I brushed them for so long, they felt raw and sensitive when I was finished. Then I washed my face, an activity I hadn't condoned in in months.
I felt brand new, and a lot more hygienic than usual.
Alright. I'm ready for anything tomorrow.
