Chapter 8: Love?

Kimorah

I woke up the next morning with a headache maybe because i couldn't sleep well last night. I kept on thinking about Jediah untill i fell asleep and i even dreamt about him. I wonder why i feel this way about that stranger. Whenever i look into his blue eyes, i am so drawn to it that i could drown in his eyes.

I can't also help but stare at his chiseled jaw that is so perfect and also his abs. When i saw his abs, i couldn't help but stare and want to trace the outline of them and i guess they are eight in number.

Lest i forget his jet black hair. I can't help but want to run my hands over it and i guess the hair is soft and silky.

I wonder why i feel this way about him or is it my hormones that are going ablaze or am i lusting after his body or am i in love.

Love? this is definitely not love and how can i just fall for someone by just meeting his eyes or am i charmed. I don't think this is love because there is nothing as love at first sight.

I was then pulled out of my thoughts by the headache i was feeling.

I quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face and do my hair into a bun and i then walked out. I went into my walk-in closet to change into something suitable for my chores.

Before heading to the kitchen to do the dishes, i went into my father's room to say good morning to him and my step mother.

"Good morning father". Walking in i bow my head and at the same time curtsied as a sign of respect.

"Morning princess. Hope you slept well?" he said smiling at me.

"Yes father i did and you?" I asked out of habit.

"Same as you". He said gesturing at me.

I then looked towards my step mother and greeted.

"Good morning mother". I greeted the same way i did to my father.

"Morning sweetie. Had a good night?" She said like i was her favorite person.

"Yes i did and you?" I asked scoffing inward.

"Same as you". She replied sweetly.

"Breakfast would be ready in an hour". I said as i turned to leave.

I then headed down stairs to the kitchen. About entering the kitchen when i heard Annabelle's voice and i halted.

"Hey you, can't you greet". She asked like a mother scolding a child for a bad deed that he committed.

"Seriously. Whom should be greeting who ?" I folded my arms feeling irritated with her attitude.

"How dare you talk to my sister in such a manner?" Christina yelled popping out of nowhere.

"Please i have other things to do than to stay here and bicker with you two". I said as i turned to leave.

"You bitch just wait till papa leaves the house and you will surely regret ever talking back at us". Annabelle said yelling almost spitting blood.

"Whatever". I scoffed and then turned to leave not taking their threat to heart.

I then entered the kitchen and did the dishes. After doing the dishes, i left to do other house chores and then returned to the kitchen to make breakfast.

I brought out the vegetables i would

use and started washing them in order to make salad. I started preparing soup and at the same, time baking bread.

After an hour time, i was done cooking and began setting the dishes on the table in the dinning area.

My papa and step mother then came down together and sat down and i also did the same. We waited for about five minutes for Annabelle and Christina to come down for breakfast but they never showed up as they are used to coming down late for breakfast and they would make us three wait for them.

My papa then signaled me to go call them as usual.

I stood up with a sigh to go upstairs to call them.

On entering their room, i heard them bickering as usual.

"You both are late for breakfast". I folded my arms and tapping my feet at the same time to display my impatience.

"And so what". Christina replied me while brushing her curly hairs.

"You always make us wait at the table for breakfast and it's annoying". Still tapping my feet and folding my arms while glaring at them. If looks could kill they would have been dead by now because i hate lazy people and they are not an exception.

"Can't you see we are trying to look our best this morning or do you want us to look like peasants". Annabelle replied returning the glares at me.

I knew they were going to dress up today because we were going to town to shop for groceries and also buy some clothes and jewelries. Well the clothes and jewelries are for Annabelle and Christina definitely.

"Whatever. Please hurry up and come down for breakfast because I'm starving". I said and stormed out of their room.

I went back to the dinning area and told my papa they would be down in some minutes which they eventually did and we began eating.

After breakfast, i did the dishes and headed to my room to take a bath and change for the outing.
