Chapter 20 (OVERWHELMED)

“Wow!” Emily exclaimed after Ron has left. “This is so huge.” She ran her hands on the king sized bed which stopped on her knees. “This room is so big and beautiful.” She jumped on the bed but covered her mouth.

“They’ll think I have never seen something like this before. I have to behave like someone from a rich family for them to respect me.” She came down from the bed and strut around the room imitating how rich people walks.

“I nailed it!” She stood in front of the mirror and giggled. “I’m going to live a great life.” She inhaled and exhaled. Emily looked at the mirror table but there were no cosmetics on it. “Maybe they want to know the product I use first.” She chuckled softly.

“I promise to be a very good daughter in-law and wife.” She covered her face shyly. “Should I sort the bags out or leave it for the maids to do?” She stared at the bags.

Just then, two girl knocked on the door and entered.

“Ma’am said we should help you sort the bags out.” One of the girls said. “Oh alright. Please go ahead.” The girl lowered their heads and started working on the bags. “We’ll take care of it, you don’t have to stress yourself.” One of the girls said. “Okay.” Emily sat on the bed looking at the girls and instructing them on what to do.

“This feels so good,” she said under her breath. They listened to every of her words and made sure they did all she asked them to do without making any mistake. They wouldn’t want Harry’s Mum to shouted on them.

“We are done, Ma’am.” They chorused. Emily raised up her head from the bed yawning. “Oh okay. You can go.” She yawned. The girls left the room and she sat upright. “I almost slept off.” She kicked out her shoes and removed the scrunches she used in holding her hair.

“This feels good. I need a hot shower, this place is so cold.” She looked around for the bathroom and saw a door by her right. “Okay, that’s the bathroom.” She walked over there and turned the handle.

“Okay, wow! I’m not even surprise again.” She entered and closed the door. “How to use this?” She stared at the shower which she has never seen in her life before. “Maybe I should call someone to help. But they’ll look down on me and think am a local girl. I can do this.”

She started touching everywhere, pressing every button on the shower and Boom! The water started coming out.

“Wonderful!” She smiled. She released the knot of her dress which was tied on the neck and the dress fell on the floor. Emily picked it up, she hung it somewhere and stepped inside the shower.

“Wow!” she giggled as the water dribbled on her bare skin.

“Where is she?” Harry looked around the room. “Did she run away again? I bet not, she won’t leave without Jeff.” He wanted to leave but then heard the sound of water from the bathroom. “Oh, she’s there.” He looked at the room and grinned Mischievously.

“I’ll wait for her.” He sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs waiting for Emily to come out of the bathroom. Some minutes later, she opened the door and came out tying only a towel. She was shocked, she has never been that way in front of a man before. But then she remembered he was now her husband.

“Come down for dinner in the next 10 minutes,” Harry said and hurried out of the room. He made sure he avoid looking at her as he spoke to her and that surprised Emily. “But he’s my husband,” she sighed.

“Wait, did he say dinner?” She hurried to the bed and picked up her phone. It was already 7:50 pm. “Whoa!” She exclaimed. She couldn’t believe she has already spent hours in that house. “What should I wear?” She went to the wardrobe, looking for what to wear.

“Maybe I should wear a pajamas, it’s already night.” She concluded when she couldn’t decide on what to wear. She put on her pants and top pajamas, Sprayed some perfume. She made sure she spread a little before stepping out of the room.

“Are you sure she’ll… Oh here she is.” Harry’s Mum turned to Emily who was coming down the stairs. She was walking as if she was the owner of the house. Harry wanted to laugh but his Mum signaled him and he tightened his lips.

“Come sit here.” She called on her and she hurried to her place. Emily sat on the chair beside her but she didn’t see Jeff around. “Where’s Jeff?” she asked. “He’s in my room, sleeping,” she smiled. “Oh.” Emily looked at Harry but he quickly looked away. He didn’t want her to feel comfortable with him.

“Eat, you need a lot of strength for tomorrow,” Mum said and Emily smiled. “Yes, I really need a lot of strength,” she giggled and started eating. Harry watched her ate happily.

“You don’t know anything,” he said under his breath looking at her. Emily stole a glance at him and instead of him to look away, he smiled and winked at her. She lowered her head shyly.

“This boy have no shame, he’s doing this in front of his mum.” She murmured. “Do you need anything again?” Mum asked her. “No Mum, I’m fine.” She put down the fork on the plate.

“I’m done.” Emily announced. “Oops, that’s unprofessional.” She quickly covered her mouth. “You are so funny,” Mum giggled. “I want to go sleep, I’m tired,” she said to Mum. “Alright, you can go. Leave Jeff with me, I don’t want him to disturb your sleep.”
