Chapter 90: A New Experience

Altogether, we made it to the pool and went through the same room, I meet Cory's mother. Once outside the girls slipped out of their dresses and splashed right into the empty pool. And started playing in the water already knowing how to swim. Bodyguards surrounded the area, I realized there were twice as many compared to before. Only to make matters more uncomfortable. Most of the men were looking at me.

I guessed Maria must've noticed, I was nervous about the men, from the way she glance at me give that away.

"Don't worry about them they work in Jay's Division." Maria talked softly and leaned into my ear, "They won't do anything. They're here to protect us from any attacks and aid us with anything we may need."

But I was still nervous and tried not to make eye contact with any of them. And followed Maria, as she laid her baby safely on the lounge chair from underneath the stone deck. As I noticed these beautiful stone arched pillars held baloney up from above us. Where we put our stuff down from underneath the deck and took off our sundresses.

Along the mansion's wall side was an outdoor shelving area holding towels. First, Maria picked up her baby heading to the towels. Together we walked over and I helped assistant Maria to gather a few towels for ourselves and the girls. We sorta tossed the towels on the lounge chairs. Near our dresses and other supplies when we roamed past and headed for the pool. Just stepping in the water felt nice as it waves into my ankles. The water temperature was perfect between warm and cool.

Inside the pool within the shallow water line. Being closely next to each other. Maria and I sat on these craved lounge chair seats. Maria's baby was laying on his mother's chest. Just cooing where the water wasn't able to each his face when she laid back. I awed softly at him and comfortably leaned back into the water relaxing. The warmth from the sun was extra soothing. Other than wishing the men weren't nearby watching. Would've made this moment even better but I wasn't about to let that thought ruin this enjoyable time.

This was such a new experience for me, I blissfully think. I've never been allowed to experience the outdoors. Since I've only ever been locked up inside those tall huge city buildings. Unless I was sold to another Businessman or my Master was moving to another building. Was the only short time frame, I would smell the city air. Since I couldn't see it because I was blindfolded each time, I was moved around. So I never saw the world's outside beauty. But I must say the smell and sight of the nearby meadow and forest were far more refreshing and appealing.

While we were just quietly enjoying the sunny blue sky. "Sally, can I ask you something?" Maria suddenly asked me.

"Of course," I consented.

Puzzled, Maria asked me, "How aren't you scared of heights?"

"I don't know." I turned my head towards her and willing shared in a pleasant expression. "Maybe it's because I've always been locked inside of a high city building. When I could, I used to look out the window and down the buildings. It never bugged me. Oftentimes, I wished I had wings to just fly away."

Feeling awful Maria reached out her hand to my arm being close to each through the water. "Your the first woman I know who isn't scared of heights. I hope you can see you are free now." She said sympathetically seeming to hold in her tears.

But I peered my sight around at the men and tried not to frown. This isn't my idea of freedom, I had daydreamed within my mind. I just wanted to live with the commoners. Especially, after going through that dreadful attack from the other night's dim light.

Kinda out of nowhere, Samantha swam up to Maria and me asking "Can I have a drink?"

Starting to stand up, "Okay. Give me a second, Samantha." Replied Maria.

But Samantha kinda jogged herself through the water and passed Maria right up. So Maria followed her while I sat up watching them from here. I wasn't sure just to say here or get out and go with Maria.

Out of the pool, Maria said, "I'll be back in a second, Sally."

Well, that answered my question. "Ok," I giggled.

As Maria was safely putting her baby on the lounge chair first making him comfortable. Next, she began drying off some before putting on her sundress.

But then a huge slamming thud happened! From being overly energetic Samantha ended up falling very badly on the hard sandy color stone just underneath the stone deck. My eyes gaped from how hard she hit her knee.

Instantly, Samantha cried out in horrible pain. Without any hesitation, two men standing on the right side sprinted over to her through the large deck. The one-man picked her up and carried her inside. By that point, Maria got her dress on fast and after grabbing her baby she headed inside to be with Samantha. Leaving me alone in the pool with Clara still swimming and many men nearby watching. I was starting to feel out of place and uncomfortable here. As I glanced at Clara swimming around in cycles like an elegant mermaid.

"Clara, let's go inside and check on Samantha," I said to her very sweetly.

She happily swam my way and said, "Ok Milady."
