Chereads / Her Matrimony / Chapter 6 - tour

Chapter 6 - tour

Melody woke up with the morning sunshine against her face, she looked over to the other side of the bed and found it empty, well that's a relief she thought as she stood up to do her morning business.

when she got out she was greeted by the sight of the butler and two maids.

" good morning young madam sir asked us to get you breakfast here, he said to tell you that this room would be only your's from now on, you'll sleep here while he'll sleep in the bedroom down the hallway. This is Rosa and Mercy they will from now be your personal maids, they'll help you with your meals, baths, clothing and your other needs, if you need help please do not hesitate to call any of them" he said as he bowed and made his way out of the room.

"why thank you" Melody said as they served her breakfast well she could get used to this.

The breakfast was toast, bacon and eggs with orange juice. After it was served she couldn't help but drool at the attractiveness of the dish, yup food was definitely man's best friend, just the sight of it was enough to lift her spirits.

As she was about to immerse herself in the joy of food she suddenly remembered two maids where still standing by the door of her room.

"um there's no need to stand there you can go"

"sir has ordered us to stay beside you incase you needed anything" answered Mercy.

"you really don't need to if I need help I'll make sure to call"

The two maids looked at her skeptically before heading outside.

Now that she was alone she began to devour the food like a hungry caveman. It was a good thing Alexander allocated his room to her, in barely ten minutes she had already cleared the plates clean as she burped and parted her stomach. she stared at the clock and it was already passed eleven it was Sunday and she had absolutely nothing to do, so she took her phone and decided to call Brittany.

"hellooo babes" Brittany's loud voice echoed through the speaker of Melody's phone.

" you don't need to damage my ear geez"

"whatever sooo how was your wedding?" Melody heard Brittany ask over the phone, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, Brittany always wanted to know all the tea.

" well it was okay I guess, his family is nice too I guess"

"so how does he look I heard he has a scar on his face, is it true" Brittany asked.

"well we thought wrong he's not bad looking he's okay" who was she kidding she was gorgeous she thought.

"phew that a relief I wouldn't want my godchildren looking like antelopes" Brittany said.

Melody suddenly burst into a fit of laughter, if only she knew how good looking Alexander was.

"Alright then see you tomorrow at school bring snacks too"

"okayyy bye" said Brittany and hung up.

Through out the day Melody just laid down and did nothing, God was it boring she tossed and turned until she decided to take a tour around the house, stepping out of the room and headed downstairs in an attempt to look for Rosa or Mercy, she came across some maids who quickly bowed their heads at her when they came across her.

"good morning please where are Rosa and mercy?

"they are at the kitchen please wait while I go call them" the maid replied already scurrying towards the kitchen.

Shortly after, Rosa and mercy had made themselves at her service.

"sorry to bother you but I'm bored so I decided to tour the house but I don't know my way around" Melody said

"where would young madam like to tour? mercy asked

"everywhere" she replied. they both looked at her skeptically like she was joking but the could only follow her commands.

The tour started from the living room, to the kitchen, dining area, library of which had thousands of books, then the swimming pool, the gym, the storage room and others by the time they had gotten to the orchard outside Melody's legs where almost about to give up.

"let's rest a minute to catch our breaths"Melody said.

As she sat down she couldn't help but wonder if the maids weren't tired also.

"won't you sit-down" she asked patting the bench

"ah no madam we dare not" said mercy"

soon she realized mercy usually did the talking while Rosa just stood nodding her head.

"you don't have to be formal with me, I'm bored and I need friends here, so come on sit" she ordered.

when they both sat down she started asking them questions about themselves, mercy was an orphan who was taken in by Alexander's mother to come work in the mansion she was twenty years old and had a little brother of whom she took care of while Rosa was the first child of her family her father was late and her mother didn't really care for she and her younger siblings so they initially lived with her grandmother before she started working for Mr Alexander so that she could help with the bills since Alexander payed them well.

After talking for a bit they felt comfortable talking with Melody and even laughed at intervals

"well we should head inside now sir will be home at any moment from now" mercy said as she stood up.

shortly after they left the orchard and headed towards the room the butler announced that Alexander was back.

As he walked in he was on his phone although she didn't mean to but she kind of eavesdropped on his conversation.

" I'll come when I'm free, no you don't have to come over, I'll be there I promise, yes I do, okay see you soon" he said over the phone and suddenly looked up meeting Melody's eyes.

"what"

"um welcome back" she said.

"what did I tell you about not bothering me last night"

"I just wanted to-

"Theodore, please bring my meal to the study" he said as he walked past her.

Well that was a total disaster, what was up with him anyways, oh well. she thought as she walked back to her room.
