Who is she exactly?

Chapter 6

She looked around in awe, amazed by the exquisite design of the room. She sat on the edge of the bed and was surprised, it was so soft and comfortable. She felt so relaxed even though she was at a total stranger's house, more like mansion she thought. The room was large enough to house a dozen people, compared to her room in the Wilson's house, three words to describe that room was stuffy, cramped and depressing. Then a maid came to knock on her door, jolted out of her thoughts, she quickly ran to open the door. "Miss, dinner will be served in 30 minutes. Mr Lopez says to wash up and come down. There are clothes in the wardrobe to change into." she said with a smile, then she left. Wow, she thought, that maid might have been the one thousandth maid she had seen in the house already. She had almost gotten lost on her way to the room. There were like hundred rooms and dining rooms, relaxation areas, sitting rooms, study rooms, and rooms that were filled with clothes, they were like wardrobes but rooms. Even her dad's mansion wasn't that big. Just how rich is he? she wondered. Then she walked to the far end of her room, stared outside the floor to ceiling windows, the view was quite nice. The garden was the definition of absolute beauty, the flowers were grown in the right spacing and proportion. The lush green leaves gave the garden an ethereal feeling. The fountain in the center was magnificient and breathtaking, the Koi fishes were playing happily in the fountain. The giant fish sculpture made the fountain look all the more extravagant and perfect. The blue lights in the water made the water look blue and not transparent. She loved the view, she then went to the giant wardrobe and opened it. It was full of clothes, she couldn't help but open her mouth. The clothes were all limited edition, brand clothes. The clothes were all neatly ironed and well arranged, it was like they were already prepared for her coming.

She then picked a blue bathrobe from the variety in the wardrobe and headed for the bathroom. She got another shock upon entering the bathroom. She expected it but not what she saw. The first thing she did was to fill up the jacuzzi. She felt so relaxed in the water, not wanting to come out at all. Her long curly brown hair was floating in the water, her brown skin shone. She looked up at the beautiful lights, her pink lips weren't as pale as they were. Her long lashes looked unique, she was beautiful.

After washing up, she blew dry her hair and combed it. She wore a simple white gown and headed for the dining room. The gown showed her figure. She had a slim waist and her curvy hips made the gown look like it was sewn specifically for her. It fitted her waist and flowed from her thighs to her knees. She wore plain white sandals which completed her look. She went out of her room and headed for the dining room. Then it occured to her that she didn't know which dining room. She wandered about for some time and was very sure she was lost. She didn't see anybody to ask for directions from, then she heard female voices laughing, she walked towards the direction of the sound and opened the door. The women all turned to her, they were all in uniform and busy cleaning. "Sorry ladies, could you direct me to the dining room?", they all laughed. She felt embarassed, one lady walked up to her and said "Did you get lost miss?" while smiling politely. She nodded, "Don't worry, everyone of us here has gotten lost in this house at one point in time, I'll direct you to the main dining hall. Come with me." she replied her.

They went down the golden staircase and went through another garden and entered another wing of the building, climbed another flight of stairs and went down a hall, the maid opened the large door and they both entered. "Miss Page, sir" the maid said. "You're late, Miss Page" the young man sitted at the head of the very long dining table said. "I'm so sorry, I got lost" she said, still standing, "Lost?" he chuckled, the maid was surprised. "Have a seat" he said. She then sat down at his right hand side, the space nearest to him. "You may take your leave" he said to the maid. She turned around and left. The maid couldn't help wondering if the young master actually smiled.

"You like your room?" he asked. "I quite love it, the view is nice... sir" she said. "Sir?" he asked laughing. "What should I call you then?" she asked, feeling embarrassed. "You can call me Ezra", he said looking straight into her eyes. "Ezra?, do I know you?" she asked questioningly. "No you don't" he said to her while looking away. "How come I guessed your name, wow my guessing power is amazing" she said beaming with smiles, without thinking much about it. He looked at her with a deep gaze.

"Let's eat" he said. She looked at the variety of food on the table. There was meat, potatoes, vegetables, salad, breadrolls, and soup. She didn't even know where to start. He looked at her, "You're not eating?". "Uhm, I don't know where to start" she said and he laughed. "Here" he said ordering the maids to pass plates of breadrolls and salad to her. She ate happily.

After dinner, the maids cleared the table. Then another set of maids came in with dessert. They were so many, cheesecake, apple pie, German chocolate cake, carrot cake, coconut cake, cherry pie, iced tea, expresso martini, pink squirrel. She was so confused. They set the table and served him coffee. She didn't know what to choose. "I didn't know your preference so I prepared a lot." he said, sipping his coffee. "Uhm I can't finish all this." she said looking helpless. He chuckled, looking at her cute confused expression. "Eat as much as you can, it's all yours, and if you can't its okay." he said smiling. The maids all wore a shocked expression on their faces. They had all never seen the young master smile. They just kept on watching confused as to who exactly she was to him.

"Can I take a bite of everything?" she asked looking cute. He almost chocked on his coffee, "Mmmn" he said. She started eating, gleefully. She looked like a puppy. She looked up at him while sipping on the chilled pink squirrel drink. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked. "Is there a particular way I'm looking at you" he replied with a question. "You like like you're feeding a puppy. You're just trying to make me fat." she said pouting. "Don't worry, I'm not trying to make you fat. You just need to eat a lot for the months you were in coma." he asked concerned. "Oh" she said looking down, her expression changing. "Don't you feel any sores? You were in bed for quite a long time." he said looking at her. " She didn't reply, still not looking up. "Are you in pains? Does it hurt as you move?" He asked worriedly. When she looked up, he was surprised. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. He was taken aback, confused. "Thank you" she said, "Thank you for saving me" she said again as she cried. He didn't know what to do or how to console her. He hardly had anyone crying in front of him. He stood up to sit beside her. "You don't have to cry, forget who you were. You're a new person now. All you have to do is live a new life, start afresh." he said hoping to have consoled her. Then suddenly, she hugged him, "Thank you Ezra" she said. Another blow to the maids. The young master had never been around any woman before, not to talk of physical contact. She called the young master by name, no one dared to do that. Not even his butler who had been with him since his childhood.

He was also shocked, he didn't remember the last time he had been this close to a woman. How many years it had been, he never even had any recollection of being particularly intimate with a woman. Many people thought he was into men, many rumours. The truth of the matter was that, he was just not interested in women. He had never been attracted to them, but she, she was different.

He noticed she had stopped crying. "Are you okay now? He asked gently. There was no reply. He raised her up, only to see that she had slept. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't order the maids to take her to her room. How would they carry her?. He tapped her shoulder, she didn't wake up. She seemed to be sleeping deeply. Then he had an idea, he could take her himself. He stood up, then lifted her up in a princess carry. The shocked maids all had their mouths wide open, bowing as he carried her out of the dining room.

On the way to her room, he met Butler Reyes in the garden. He also couldn't hide his shock. He quickly ran to the young master, "Sir, leave her to me. I'll take care of this." he said panting, after running. " It's okay, I'll help her to her room myself. Meet me in the study in an hour" he said, walking away in large strides. The maids he came across were also shocked.

On getting to her room, he placed her down on the bed gently. "I'll wait for you. Till you remember me. I'll make sure I get them back for everything they did to you." he said as kissed her forehead, emotion burning in his deep dark eyes.
