Chapter 4 - chapter 3

All refreshed I step out of my new room and head downstairs for dinner. Hanna a maid for the Adams had informed me that it was time for dinner and that dinner was about to be served.

"Heading downstairs, Mrs. Adam's warmly smiled at me and asked me to join them at the table.

" So dear hope you are already enjoying your stay here?... I'd love for you to feel at home and get comfortable here. Ariana told me about the accident and I wanted to apologize once more on her behalf"

"It's ok ma'am it was kinda my fault anyway"

"Mom! I told you not to say that. Now you're making it seems like that's the only reason I asked her to come stay with us"

"It's ok" I assured her. "I already understand that although the accident was what brought us together again your kind nature is what made you offer me shelter and I'm really grateful for that"

"Stop flattering her you would make her already head burst. Her head is big enough already and her inflatable ego needs to go on a diet" Mrs. Adam's said with a smile

Which made everyone on the table laugh including Mr. Adam

With a short time, I had spent in this family I had noticed that Mr. Adam was a really nice man that rarely spoke. I don't know if my observations where right or wrong I mean I just met the man like 40mins ago or so, so I couldn't say for sure but I had noticed in those few minutes that he rarely talked. He just had this calm reserved look on his face and yet had an authoritative aura that made me sure he gained lots of respect from people even before he spoke to them.

"Mom I thought you said you spoke with J earlier and he said he would return from work early today?" Ariana said as we were eating and miss Adams was trying to make Mr. Adam eat his veggie which looked so cute by the way

"I did dear. But you know how stubborn your brother is. He probably decided to spend a few more hours at work he says I have been nagging him too much whenever he's working from home"

"He really needs to give himself a break. He works too much he puts the word 'hard work' to shame. But I think it's better you stop nagging him so atleast we know he's safe and at home here with us"

"I would try I'm just always so worried. So Skylar, I need you to always remember that your welcomed here and you can stay for as long as you want. Ok?"

"Thanks ma'am..." I started but she cut me off

"Ohh please stop with the ma'am and Mrs. Adams, please call me Sofia. I'm trying to feel younger and you're making me feel 80"

With hesitation but enough boldness, I called her Sofia then proceeded to thank them for the food and head upstairs with Ariana

I didn't say much just told them where I was from and other basic stuff. I didn't feel like mentioning the fact that I was an orphan or go deep and tell them more about my self.

*****

Hey you wanna hang out in my room for a while

"Ya sure, I'd like that." Reaching her room I asked what my inquisitive self wanted to ask since dinner but thought it would be rude to ask around her parents. "You have a brother?" I asked.

"Yes, he is not usually home though"

"Because of work?"

"Yes. Cause of work." She said looking uncomfortable. I noticed she didn't like the fact that we where talking about her brother but she didn't want to complain so I won't feel uncomfortable but it just made me uncomfortable. So I end the subject

"Hey I forgot to compliment how great your home looks you must be really good at your job," I said referring her mentioning that she was an interior designer earlier

"Thanks. I try my best."

"Hey I'm a bit tired mind if I head to my room? We can catch up tomorrow or something"

" Sure head on to bed I'm sure you must be stressed out after today, see you tomorrow hun. Goodnight."

"Good night," I replied then went to my room

****

Lazily getting off the bed I head downstairs for breakfast. I'm so hungry. I really wish I ate my food wells last night but I just didn't have the appetite and I'm really regretting it tight now.

"Good morning" I greeted shocked that everyone is up and busy this early. I know for sure that if it wasn't for how hungry I was I'd ve looking like a zombie right now

"Morning" Mrs. Ad...Sofia replied me

"Ma'am young master would soon be down for breakfast"

"Ok has the table been set?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok. Go tell Ariana to come down for breakfast. She had mentioned that she wanted to ask him about something."

"Ok ma'am"

*****

"Morning mom" Ariana greeted

"Hey love how was your night," Sofia asked kissing Arianna on the cheek. Aww, acts like that made me remember my own mother. I quickly erased the thought for my head, I shouldn't be thinking of anything sad right now

Sofia had mentioned earlier that I could eat anything from the fridge or just go ahead and start eating the food she had prepared and was set on the table when she heard my stomach grumbling

The kitchen was humongous.

Everything looked immaculate. I felt so conscious here I didn't want to spoil, spill or dirty anything here. I quickly head for the fridge. I have got to say I have never seen a fridge looking so beautiful. Oh My Fucking God! This fridge had everything!. I'm in shock right now I don't even know what I want after looking at everything. Getting the milk out of the fridge because I just realized I wanted cereal cause I'm way too lazy and hungry to make toast besides already prepared food on the table this is just my opening meal. I searched the cupboards for cereal, and only got me more fascinated. The food could last for an entire year while feeding 10,000 people if not more . Finally finding the cereal boxes, I settled for coco pops, made it and went into the dining to eat.

As I hungrily took the first spoon of my cereal Ariana and her mom entered the dining and as my eyes landed on the person behind them, I wasn't so hungry anymore and my appetite was gone.
