Chapter 3- Your Room

🍀

Zayden parks the car in the parking lot of the white mansion and I quickly hop out. I walk briskly towards the pathway which leads to the front doors with a fountain in the middle.

"Wait!" He yells then I hear the car door shut. I stop not turning around to look at him.

"What?" I drawl out the word exasperated.

He stays silent standing behind me then he sighs. "Nothing."

I roll my eyes continuing to walk forward to the front doors. He follows behind me. I push open the doors and is greeted by a grand gold staircase. Also by a golden retriever which tackles me making me fall on my butt as it starts licking my face.

I start ruffling behind it's ears while it continues to lick my cheek. "Gracie!" I laugh turning my head to a side. "Stop licking me!"

She stops still hanging her tongue out and panting with her tail wagging. She gets off of me and barks. "Sit." She does as she is told and tilts her head. "Good girl."

I stand up dusting myself off. I squat down to her height and hold her face between my hands. "It's nice to see you too, Gracie." I nuzzle her nose and stand back up.

She watches me attentively waiting for her next command. "Follow me."

She stands on all fours and walks towards me. I turn seeing Zayden stare at the dog but still following me. "Afraid?" I tease.

He tenses then slowly looks up at me. "Nope. How many?" He glances at the dog then back at me.

I look back to the front walking forwards. "We have two. This one is my dog. And the next one is Madelyn's dog. His name is Starr. And he's a Labrador."

"Never thought you'd be a dog person, Lucky." He walks beside me.

"Don't call me that. Now shut up before I change my mind. I'm showing you around the house."

He nods and from the corner of my eye, I see him smirk making roll my eyes.

I walk to the kitchen closely followed by Gracie and Zayden. As soon as I walked into the grand kitchen, I am hit in the face with a lovely aroma which wafted through the air. They chefs were busy preparing dinner.

The kitchen was all a dark cream colour with coloured the wood. It had a chandelier dangling above island illuminating the room. There was a great amount of room for the chefs to move around and cook without disturbing each other.

"Afternoon." I greet them walking towards the island. I stop when I reach it and gain the chefs attention.

"Good Afternoon Miss Madison." They bow and curtsy with smiles.

I furrow my brows. "You don't have to be formal with me. I'm not that important. I'm just as important as you are."

They roll their eyes. "You always say that to us. I thought you would've given up already." One of the male ones with blue hair say with a chuckle.

"Oh my, Madison! Is that a boyfriend I see? You better not let Señora Witson find out!" The female with the black hair exclaims in her slight Hispanic accent.

My eyes widen and I feel myself blush slightly. "Oh, no no no! He's not my boyfriend." I shake my head very quickly. "This is my Butler, Zayden Hart." I introduce him.

He waves lightly with a smile. "And these are--" I'm cut off by one of the chefs.

"I am Ashley Mason." The one with the black hair and brown eyes says, her Hispanic accent strong. "These are Gabriella Rustle and Preston Gibson."

Gabriella had a lovely dark skin tone with beautiful brown eyes with flowing brunette hair. She was tall and petite but still very beautiful.

Preston had big rimmed glasses covering his grey eyes. His hair was an amazing shade of dark blue, originally black. He wasn't that tall but he was taller than me.

"We trust you to take care of our Miss Madison for us." Gabriella smiles curtsying.

"Now run along, Miss. We have to finish dinner." Preston exclaims taking off his glasses.

"What is for dinner?" I ask sneaking my hand to the bowl of vegetables on the island.

"You'll see when we are finished, Miss." Ashley says turning around going back to what she was previously doing.

I quickly dip my hand inside the floral bowl and take out a carrot stick. That earns me a shout from Preston.

"Madison!"

I toss in my mouth and quickly walk out the kitchen. Gracie barks behind me and I can hear her collar rattling letting me know she's running. She slows down and begins to walk next to me.

"Where are going now?" Zayden asks walking beside my golden retriever. I stop to think where we should go next. "You don't know, do you?" He asks staring at me. I shake my head and stare back.

"How about your r--" I cut him off.

"You are not allowed in my room." I state with a blank face.

"Is that a rule?" He asks tilting his head.

I shake my head looking away. "Nope." I say popping the p. "It's my personal rule. I want my privacy."

He raises a brow at me trying to study my face. I just stare at him with a blank expression. He gives up and sighs. "I can respect that. How will I know it's your room then?"

I turn and start walking again hearing their footsteps behind me. "We have our names hanged up outside of our doors." I tell him walking up the grand staircase.

He hums as a reply then he stops. I stop too and look at him with my hands in my jeans pockets. "What's in that room?" He asks glancing at the door to the right then at me.

I narrow my eyes at the door before turning and walking away. "You aren't allowed in that room unless you are called upon."

I hear his footsteps behind me once more in the quiet house along with Gracie's collar.

"Oh yeah! There's one more rule." I say frowning. "You aren't allowed to go anywhere outside the mansion without me. Unless it's means collecting me from school."

He's silent for a second. "I'm in university-"

"That's an exception. You can go to your classes." I cut him off looking at the ground as I walk.

"Is this one of your stupid rules?" He questions in a little anger.

"No. I wish.." I mutter the rest of the sentence inaudibly. Grace whimpers nudging my foot with her nose. Then I notice that I stopped at the door of the study room.

"You wish what?"

"Nothing."

Helloooo!

A little note- This is how I put the ways of this family. With butlers and maids. I put the rules and certain rooms like this on purpose. It might not be like other families, because it's not. It's a fantasised family. :D

And some rules of the country is different too. They are in Virginia. But somewhat like my own made up version. The school system is the same as real school systems, the weather is the same, everything is the same except the names of places in the country they live in.

Also. You might notice that Madison is kinda rude or stuck up?, if that's how you describe it but that's just her. She might or might not get better.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Vote, comment, share? Thanks for reading. ♥
