Chapter Seven ~ Fate

Cassie had followed her mom to God knows where,  how could she leave me by myself..... A maid was assigned to take me to my room, we went through a really long corridor decorated in fine artistic drawings which must cost a fortune, the floors were marble and were sparkling clean everywhere and everything looked perfect, the maid soon stopped in front of a door…

Your room madam" she said, thank you I responded … I closed the door behind me.

My jaw fell to my knees again for the second time today I was completely dumbfounded, The room was simple but really beautiful, It had a queen-sized bed, There was a carpet in the center of the room, and it looked really elegant, The room also had a walk in closet and a huge bathroom, I was starting to think the maid had brought me to the wrong room .....

I dropped my bag on the bed to unpack my things, I set them up in the closet and picked out something more comfortable to wear, I was perplexed as to why Cassie never mentioned anything about her family status. She definitely had a lot of explaining to do, I thought to myself…

I got on the bed and god it felt really soft like I was lying on clouds, I must have been exhausted because I went right to sleep…

I was awakened by the continuous knocking coming from the door, who is there I mumbled still very sleepy,

"Ma'am it's dinner time and miss Cassie asked that I call you"

Okay I'll be there in a minute I replied

I hadn't showered yet so I took a quick shower and changed into the clothes I had picked earlier, it was a gray (sweatpants) and a white tank top

I put on a slipper and headed downstairs…

Dinner was incredible, I hadn't eaten so well in the last months I've been surviving on cereal and noodles, I joked Dinner was lovely Mrs. ford.

Thank you, dear I'm glad you liked it she smiled softly, have a good night, I had stood up to leave and Cassie had followed right after me and from the look on my face she knew I had a lot of questions….

As soon as we had gotten into the room I gave her"the look", Why didn't you say anything Cassie? What? You don't trust either of us?

That isn't the case Ella and you know it, i j…just didn't want what happened in high school to repeat itself again.

What happened in high school? I said, with concern, her phone rang before she could answer.

That was my brother, she says with a smile on my face.

Really? I say to her, she had mentioned her brother a few times before so I knew she had a brother,

"Yeah, and he said he was almost home let's go wait for him downstairs"

b..but what about our conversation I asked her, we'll talk about that later she shrugs… she starts pulling me before I can reply her I just go along with her

"I can't wait for you to meet him" Cassie says.

"Yeah I can tell" I say with sarcasm in my voice

I was still in sweatpants and I wondered if it was appropriate after all I was meeting him for the first time, I doubt he would mind I say to myself. The sound of a car engine coming from outside indicating his arrival, Cassie excitedly runs through the doors I could imagine how happy she was I would too if I had just one sibling and hadn't seen them in months, I followed right after Cassie I was also eager to meet her brother, A black Mercedes-Benz S class was sitting pretty outside, this family definitely had a thing for black cars I thought to myself, the car door opens and I couldn't believe who my eyes were looking at, i was completely dazed it was "supermarket guy" yes that was the name I had given him I didn't know his name so that was the best I could come up with. H.how was he here?, and he was he Cassie's brother?, So many things were going through my head I couldn't believe it, and he looked just as good as I remembered him to be, the smile on his face was heavenly he was dressed in a black suit, he was sharp looking and the suit was well-fitted.

Cassie had gone up to give him a hug,

"You have certainly grown significantly more from the last time I saw you" he said, his voice was definitely as sexy as he liked.

"Yeah my appetite increased" Cassie said with a proud look on her face, That's good my little princess he said patting her on the head, he was a good 6.5 and Cassie was about a 5.4 there was a lot of height difference, I wondered if he remembered me from the supermarket.

"I want you to meet my friend Ella, we stayed in the same dorms in school" Cassie said smiling. I was shy all of a sudden, damn! I should've gone to change when I had the chance, I mentally slapped myself.

"Hi Ella! It is really nice to meet you" he said.

I guess he didn't remember, I felt a bit disappointed.

Do you guy's think he actually doesn't remember, or he is pretending?
