Chapter 4 of chapter 10 New friends

New friends....

Isabella Pov.....

I have started to loved every day I wake up to. Coz's one reason, I was not cleaning the Master room again and I have to attend to my new friend Lady Lily, I finally gotten her name.  Yeah one of the selected ladies for the master of the house. 

They haven't not yet been introduced to the master of the house but her toes felt wet. She was really sweating. I was amazed by her act . Here she is, feeling nervous to meet the master of the house and the others whom are fucking excited. 

She's so different, I get to know some few things about her ever since the day she stood up for me. She was sweet and nice. 

She told me alot of things about her family. Her family were so obsess for her to get into the contest even against her will. They told her if she didn't get the Duke engagement she shouldn't bother to come back to the house. I felt so sorry for her. I thought even being from a wealthy family your life can be better but no it wasn't.  I could see the terror in her eyes when she was explaining all to me. 

She consider me as her friend, a true friend. The ones that become her friend because of wealth and status. I smiled at her and ensured her, I'll forever be her friend. 

"You have to take a deep breath before first" 

I said..

"How? It seen so difficult to compared with, we're going to see the Duke today and I don't know what to wear or what to do. I'm freaking out here!" She screams, drags on her hair. 

She really do seem childish. 

"Hey Lily I know what you have to wear" the trouble Ruby said, Yeah that the wicked name. I also finally get her name too. I so much pity the maid who served her, her life would be hell. 

"Yes what do you suggest?" Lily asked excitingly. She do seem easily to forgive and not taking things serious. 

"I think you should wear your maid clothes at least they're a little fashionable with dust"  she said and laughed out like a mad girl along with her spoiled friends, who also thinks about high class like her. I so much hate that girl. 

Even compared to them, my lady was a goddess of her own. Her beauty was out of the world. I so much admire her, everything about her was amazing. Her hair, lips , eyes, body and top it up, her sweet personality that warms up my heart. 

"You don't have to worries my lady, we'll found something amazing for you to wear I ensured you that"

She rolls her eyes around,her face show the expression of anger. did I say something that upset her ? I questioned myself. 

" I told you I hates it when you call me lady Lily!" She said hitting her bed, like a child. 

" Oh I'm sorry... Lily" 

She bright up her face with a lovely smile and hugged me . "Now you're acting like true friend" she said. I blush, my cheeks turns red now I have three trusted friends, her,Emma my bestie and lady Angela. 

"So, why don't we get you dress" I said breaking the hug. "Oh that's, it's doesn't matter. Any dress can go for the party" 

"Any?" I questioned, 

"Yeah, beside, I'm not going to pay a visit to God but just a human, a human like you and I. So, why the excitement about. but I'm happy I have a black gorgeous woman as a friend. I always want to have a friend who's a half African and a half European and now I do!"  She screams excitedly

"Can some of you keep these rocket down, I'm trying to catch my beauty sleep!" A girl roar from the other side of the room.

"Go back to your Father house and sleep. Because everything here has a right to talk , laughed and making jokes!" Another voice roars.

I and Lily's giggled, it was amazing to come and take care of the girls because there one thing or other that will always keep us the maids busy to watch, it's their fighting....

After, lot of talking and gisting on what to wear and what not to wear. We finally picked up a lovely gown. With amazing yellow sunshine flowers around it. She said yellow was her best color. She seem so happy wearing it. 

"Do you think it was okay for you to wear?" I asked, not that I'm getting disapprove but I wasn't that sure if she should wear it. But she seem more comfortable about it. 

"It was given to me by my mother" she said with watery eyes, " your mother that amazing,. She must have loved you despite forcing you against your wish" 

"No,my mother would never do anything like that to me. She's..... she's dead and gone forever but forever remains in my heart. " Her mother was dead? That word makes me remember mine too..

"After her dead, father bought in another woman. He told me she had given birth to two sons for him.. that cheater, he must've been cheating on my mother since she was alive. And when she's dead and gone, the bastard bought in another woman with two sons. Making my life difficult and treating me like a slave to them... I hates them all!!" She cried. I understand her pains and how it feels to be treated like an outsider, someone never wanted by the society.

It was a shame, a shame to never be accepted by who you're, that the pain I feel too. The pain of an outsider, the pain that kills slowly only to your skin that the pain I'm feeling. Sadness...

I hugged her, " No matter what you might have gone through, you're a strong woman and there are more good thing coming your way. Your story haven't ended yet" I said, she hugged me tightly. 

"Thank you Isabella" 

I wiped off her tears, " we've to get you ready before the ceremony started" I said

"Oh sure please, I want all the beautiful colors on my skin" she teases and the both of us giggled. It was amazing feeling that I feels whenever I'm with Lily, she makes feel more reliable of who I really am, a black woman despite our skin color. 

" Hello ladies" lady Pearl called, getting the audience attention. 

"I hope you all know what to do and what to say" she said, and the ladies response with a smiles on their faces. Some nervous, some over excited. There was just different expression on their faces. 

"Now get ready, the ceremony would start within four minutes and I hope then you ladies are done with whatsoever you're wearing to the ball"  she said. 

And the ladies responded with a chorus

"Yes my lady!" 

"Now, let get the ceremony begin!" She alarmed and Left. Immediately, the Ladies starts hurrying up their maids. To get them ready before four minutes be over. 

"Liliy, you need to stays for me to apply the make-up well on your face before the time runs out" 

"Please, save me more time, I want to enjoyed myself not here to marry a man I barely know" she said, admiring the yellow gown from the glass mirror. 

We are all done and ready to set off to the ball with our ladies behind them. The ladies walks majestically out of the hall to the ball. Where all members of the high court seat, waiting for the arrival of the ladies.

They were amazed by their looks and beautiful,. Ruby's gown was out of the world but she bonus like she was in control. I can't really tell a difference between her and Lady Emily. And besides there she was, sitting in the crowd, lady Emily...

We the maids stood in back of our maiden's, every maids to each ladies. The eyes of the high court members were on all the ladies. They do appears to be catching in the eyes. 

Now, we have to wait for the arrival of the master of the house. He was the one who's the occasion was normally arrange for. Yeah  I know he always took his time always.the last to show up. 

I bit on my lips looking around and admiring the thing I seen. 

" You and your maiden's see close* Emma whispered, she was closed to me. Her maiden was sitting close to my maiden's

"Guess you've already been the lucky one* she joked, " I was lucky the first day I met you. You're my first and true friend" I whispered back. 

"Oh that sweet" she said, making those lovely puppy eyes. 

" So tell, what do you think about the ball?* Emma asked.  

"Well, it just like always, fabulous.." 

"Yeah, lady Pearl was really good for organizing party like this, I think that her hubby" 

Just that moment, the music instruments start playing and lady Pearl came out to warm the crowd with her dancing skill...
