Brynn went upstairs to change into some comfy sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. After she was done washing her face with some cold water to wake herself up some more, Brynn went off to find the maid. Athena was not the typical "maid" some might consider. She was more of a Governess then a maid really. She was the tutor for Annalise and the twins, and helped cook. Brynn grew up with Athena and they had a 7 year age gap. Athena's mother used to work with the family from when Andrew was born until the twins, and Athena was 14 at the time, and already had the qualifications to baby-sit.
When they were younger, Brynn and Athena had been inseparable. Now they were still friends, not as they used to be though.
"Athena?" Brynn asked, once upstairs.
"Yes, Ma'am?" Athena asked. Brynn never liked to be called ma'am unless the grooms were because, well, she paid them.
"Are you troubled right now?" Brynn asked. She didn't want to keep Athena from other work. Brynn walked into the kitchen.
"No, would you like dinner?" Athena asked. Athena was wearing a blue shirt and tan slacks, she had her blonde-brown hair in a bun. She had light tan skin, and good facial features. Her eyes stood out the most, brown with blue specks. Brynn always wonders whether she was wearing contacts that did that, because they didn't look as blue when Athena was younger.
"Yes please!" Brynn spoke, excited.
"I have some chicken roast and rice left from the other's dinner." Athena mumbled, rummaging through the fridge and oven. After a few minutes, Athena pulled out some chicken and reheated it. She made some rice.
14 minutes later, a warm meal was in front of Brynn. She ate it and chatted with Athena over the twins grades and the competition Brynn won 2 days before.
After Brynn was finished, she helped Athena finish cleaning up the dishes and left upstairs to her, rather massive, bedroom.
She walked in, there was a king size bed with a fluffy white comforter and pastel blue and pink pillows. A soft rug with real flowers weaved and preserved into it kept the room smelling fresh and looked nice. There was a massive white wood dresser, ranch style carving off to one side, and some of the floor was an underground fish tank. She had skylights on the top of the roof, and 3 massive windows overlooking the forest. It was a very bright and nice room, and the lights turned on and off with 2 claps.
The time was 8:47, so she still had some time to check her phone for about an hour.
She lied down on her comfy bed and put in her password. She decided to scroll on Instagram before checking her messages.
She checked everyone's posts she was following. There were quite a few. Most were new deals on tack and accessories for eventing.
"Ooooo '' Brynn exclaimed when she saw there was a 75% off sale on Leiumus saddle pads. Leiumus was one of her favorite saddle pad brands, but they were made from gel foam, cotton cloth, and needled felts so they were quite expensive. She impulsively bought 3 jumping pads and 2 dressage pads. Half of Stolen's old bands were so filthy, the color was stained darker.
After checking the rest of her Instagram and Snapchat notifications, she checked her messages.
50 From Biana✨💖
42 From Colton🏈
12 From Greyson🐎💙
Naturely, she checked Biana's messages first. Half were here spamming ".." in the chat, as usual. The other 25-ish were her asking Brynn about prom dresses, how Stolen was, what she was doing, and wherever the frick they went during the middle of the football game.
She hastily replied to all of them, then skimmed through Colton's messages. Most were asking about Prom plans, and that they won the game, selfies of him and his team, more asking about prom, the occasional "I don't trust him" about Greyson, and finally him saying he'd stop spamming and go to bed. Brynn laughed.
I'm still mad at you, but you're my friend so I kinda forgive you. Stop acting like a jerk and we're good. She typed.
Brynn waited for a response.
Mk yeah sure ~ Colton
Brynn shook her head and checked Geyson's messages. They were mostly him asking if she got home safe, if she needed dinner, and if Colton was being a nag.
Got home safe, ate dinner, gn! ~ Brynn
With that, Brynn went to shower then go to bed.
