Princess Sarah And Genevieve.

By the time I got to the kitchen, the chefs were already done cooking, as some of them had already started to change into waiters' outfits.

The sweet aroma that was coming from the kitchen was making everyone present in the house and around the house, including those in the garden salivate.

I think none of us has had breakfast, even the cooks.

I had to resist the temptation of asking one of the cooks for a little portion, but it will seem unfair to others.

I quickly walked across the kitchen, got to the refrigerator, opened the door to the refrigerator and reached for a bottle of drinking water and quickly ran out.

I wanted to go back to get a glass cup, but I changed my mind. I refuse to be tempted. Not doing it is better than embarrassing, right?

When I got to the living room, I quickly ran across the room to meet Sarah.

"Sarah, here is a bottle of drinking water for you," I said to her as I handed the bottle of drinking water to her.

"Thank you, ma'am", she said to me as she collected the bottle of water.

"No, not ma'am, call me Eunice. '' I said to her.

"Thank you, Miss Eunice.'' She thanked me again.

"You are welcome, Princess Sarah," I said to her as she gave me the cutest smile I had ever seen in my life, she got dimples.

"I like your dimples, they are so cute, I wished I had those too," I said and started to pout.

"Thank you, I love your teeth, they are pretty, are they natural?" Princess Sarah asked me out of curiosity.

"Yes, they are, why?" I asked her.

"My dad used to be a soldier, he retired when I was born, he once lost some of his teeth, but he fixed them at a dental hospital close to our church." Princess Sarah explained to me.

"Oh! Wow, what does your mama do?" I asked her out of curiosity, I have not seen her mom or anyone that came to claim her.

"She is a chef, she is the chief chef among the hired chefs for this event." She said excitedly to me.

"So you are not here for the party?" I asked her, then she shook her head.

"Just the two of you?" I asked her, she nodded and said,

"Yes, just the two of us." She said and smiled at me.

"She should not have brought you along when she knew she would be busy and there would be no one to watch over you."

"I promised her that I would behave and not cause any trouble." She explained to me.

"Please can I introduce the both of you, when the party's over?" She asked for my permission politely, who would want to refuse such a respectful and smart kid?

"Yes, of course, dear," I replied to her and then we hugged.

"Miss Eunice?" One of the maids we hired for the party, for my mom, called out my name which gained my attention.

"Yes," I replied to her.

I was about to walk out of Sarah when she asked me,

"Miss Eunice, can I go with you?"

"Of course, you can, dear", I replied to her and held her hand and then she cried out in pain again. Then I remembered she still had her plaster on, and her wound was not looking good and then I offered to give her a piggyback.

I squatted and said,

"Hop in" and then she climbed on my back.

"Please help me hold this," Sarah said and handed me her bottle of water, which I collected.

I scanned the living room before leaving to check if I could catch a glance at either my stepdad or Lizzy, but I did not, then I left to check out why the maid was calling me.

"Yes ma'am, you called me," I said to the hired maid when I got to her.

"Your mom asked me to fetch you, please follow me." She said to me and turned, then started to walk away.

"Okay ma'am, after you," I said to her and started to follow her with little princess Sarah on my back.

When I got to the door of the room that my mom and Mike shared, I was finding it hard to open the door, but then the hired maid opened the door for me and stretched her arms pointing to where my mom was.

I glanced at her and said,

"Thank you, ma'am."

She smiled and said,

"Please call me Genevieve. Your mom is over there." Then, she entered the room too.

I was touched by her kind gesture, I already liked her.

She is young, maybe she is a teenager like myself too, who knows. We might even be age mates.

The room was full of hired maids, all of them were busy with one thing or the other, some were helping mum and her friends to dress and apply makeup, but then someone very familiar caught my attention, it was my grandma.

I was excited when I saw her, so I quickly walked across the room to meet her and greet her.

"Hi granny, good day," I said to her, smiling.

"Hi sweetie, how is your day..... Going? Who is that little girl?" She said as she was shocked to see me carrying a child, she was raising her head to see my face as one of the hired maids was doing her makeup.

"Oh, let me introduce you two, granny, meet my new friend, Sarah, princess Sarah, Sarah this is my grandma".

"Hi, Eunice's Grandma". Princess Sarah greeted me.

"Oh dear, call me Mrs Louisiana. Where is your mama?" My grandma asked Sarah,

"She is in the Kitchen, she is the head chef there." Princess Sarah said to my grandma,

"Oh dear, come here," Grandma said.

I was not sure to whom she was referring.

I turned around and asked Sarah to get down from my back.

"Sit on the bed," I ordered Sarah.

She obeyed and I handed her back the bottle of drinking water and took two steps sideways to meet my grandma.

I was now standing right in front of her, she gestured for me to come closer and bend over when I did she pressed a kiss on my head.

"Hello, my darling," Grandma said, smiling up at me.

"Granny, you look so hot, your makeup suits you, and you are looking fifty years younger," I said to her, smiling.

"Oh stop, you are making me shy." She said and stood up so that I could see the black gown that made her look so hot.

"Do you have a new boyfriend?"

"Oh no dear, it is my daughter's sixth wedding anniversary, I have to dress my best. Some of my friend's daughters that are around the same age as your mother are either not yet married, childless or divorced. I am so proud of your mother, she is wealthy too. Speaking of a boyfriend." She walked closer to me and whispered

, "I saw J.J two days ago".

The moment grandma said that I turned my head sharply to look her in the face and then asked,

"Are you sure that was J.J?"

Granny smiled and said,

"What do you take me for? Yes, I am an old lady, but I will always recognize your J.J anytime and anywhere I see him. You have been showing me pictures and videos of him for years now, it is just like watching him grow from a far distance."

"So what happened?" I asked granny.

I was eager to know but then, mom called me.

"Lady Eunice Louisiana Mike," Mom called out my title and my full name, that was embarrassing,(this type of lady means,

A woman of breeding or higher class, a woman of authority).

I do not like it when people know that I am a lady or you can say that I am a gentry consanguineously.

The only person that knows that I am a lady besides my family is Lizzy, I am not sure that her parents are even aware, I think they do or whatever secondly, I was named after my grandma, that is my middle name.

"Yes, mother, "I replied to her. This was the first time I was seeing my mom since last night.

I quickly ran across the room and stood opposite her, and faced down, I was not allowed to look her in the face, that is our tradition, I am not allowed to look her in the face, even during a conversation, until she permits me.

I do not follow the law every time, but there are people and even outsiders around, so I had to play cool.

"You can raise your head, young lady." She said and chuckled.

"Thank you, mother," I said and raised my head.

She was very beautiful.

I wanted to compliment her on that but once again I can't speak to her informally, I hate rich people's lives.

"Why are you not dressed yet?"

"You ought to have been dressed and fully prepared for the party." She said and was staring at me angrily, I was expecting that.

"I am sorry mother, something came up." I am not supposed to say what happened because I was not allowed to make an excuse, I got scared that she might hit me, but she did not. I deserved it.

"The party will begin in the next two hours, the time is eleven AM, make sure you are fully dressed and your makeup is done, okay?" She said,

"Yes, mother, "I replied to her.

"You can leave now." She said and I left the room.

I went downstairs instead, in search of Lizzy to help me keep an eye on Sarah.

No one cares about her in that room right now, everyone is busy trying to look their best for the party, and even all the hired maids too were busy trying to impress all the noble ladies present in the room.

I was not looking in the direction of where I was going, as I was busy scanning the living room and then, Lizzy was running towards my direction and then we bumped into each other.

"Lizzy, where have you been? I have been searching for you", I said to her.

"Where is the little girl? The ambulance is here." She said to me, winded.

She was winded from her running around the whole house in search of me.

"She is upstairs in my mom's room," I replied to Lizzy.

She really can't enter my mom's room, she had not entered before.

What should we do now?

I was thinking about a plan, but then, luckily for us, one of the hired maids was walking past us and I quickly ran up to her,

"Excuse me, ma'am, give me a moment please, I need a favour from you, "I said, trying to get her attention as I ran after her.

When she finally stopped, I walked to stand in front of her, winded and lo and behold, it was Miss Genevieve.

"Hey miss Genevieve, please can you help me carry that kid, the little girl I carried in there, out of my mother's room? There is an ambulance that is waiting for her outside, she stumbled on something and tripped earlier this morning". I said to her and was sighing heavily.

"Okay, give me a minute my Lady. '' She said and began to run up the stairs.

Lizzy walked up to me and said,

"She is young, she should be our age mate."

"Yes, I think so too, she was the maid whom my mom asked to call me earlier today, her name is Genevieve, I would like to know her more.''

"Okay, my Lady'', Lizzy said mockingly to mimic Genevieve and I chuckled.

Lizzy and I walked towards the stairs but did not climb them when we saw Genevieve returning to us with Sarah on her back.

"Hello little girl," Lizzy said to Sarah.

"She is not a little girl, let me formally introduce the three of you," I said to the three of them.

"Lady Elizabeth, meet Princess Sarah and Miss Genevieve,"

"Miss Genevieve, meet Lady Elizabeth and Princess Sarah,"

"Finally, Princess Sarah, meet Miss Genevieve and Lady Elizabeth." I introduced the three of them.

The four of us busted out laughing as we walked towards the main door of the living room to exit the room and started walking towards the ambulance van.
