I stood for what felt like forever, but it was really probably ten minutes. I felt like the king was eating slowly on purpose. I mean it doesn't take that long to eat one piece of cake, no matter how good it is.
I really think he's just trying to piss me off, because I keep seeing him glance out of the corner of his eye to look at me while he's talking to people. Like yeah, asshole I'm still standing here.
I rolled my eyes after I caught him doing it again. I looked over at Maya to see her smirking at me, with her eyes darting from me to him. I sent her a questioning look and she just smiled and turned her head.
Whatever. I turned back to look in his direction to see him looking at me fully. "Is there something interesting over there that's more interesting than me? Huh, am I not interesting enough for you?" He asked. Don't get smart Rose, don't get smart.
I clenched my hands behind my back," No your highness. I was just thinking about how interesting you are eating that piece of cake very slowly. It seems like you are really enjoying it." "Well, that's good. You can go now and do whatever it is you need to be doing."
After he said that I started to dash out of there but his voice stopped me," Aren't you forgetting something?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. I tilted my head to the side in confusion. He chuckled," My plate," he said and pointed to it. "Oh, my apologies."
I went over and grabbed the plate and sprinted away before he could touch me. By the time I made it back to the kitchen, all the other girls were already in there gossiping. "Well, that was interesting," one of them said.
I looked around for Maya and found her sitting on the bar stool i was at. I walked over towards her and sat on the one beside her. "What were you smiling about in there?"
"I wanted you to turn and see that he was looking at you but you did on your own anyway." "Oh ok. So when do we get to eat?"
"I was wondering when you were going to ask that," she laughed," unfortunately someone has to go ask the king. The chefs here are assholes and only make enough food for the king and his guests," my mouth dropped in shock," yeah, I know complete BS, but it's life I guess."
"So, we can't just make the food for ourselves?" I asked. "Yes, you just have to ask the king first since it's his house, his kitchen. Either way you're going to have to talk to him."
"Why don't I believe you then, I feel like your joking." "Believe me or don't, I don't care."
"Well aren't you hungry?" "Yeah, but I'm too lazy to keep up and ask him, but you can go do it," she said laughing. She put her head down to prove her point.
"Does anyone want to go ask the king can we make some food?" I asked the group of girls. All of them raised their hands. I heard Maya scoff. "OK, since you all seem eager the one closet to the door can go ask him."
They all rushed towards the door. OK that was a mistake. "You know what? I'll just do it myself." I got up from the stool and headed towards the door. "I bet she just wants to go just so she can flirt with him," I heard one of them say. I rolled my eyes and opened the door.
Once again, all eyes were on me so once again I rolled my eyes. I just live for dramatic entrances. When I got over to the king I asked," Can I make something for me and the other sla- I mean servants?"
I could tell he noticed my slip-up from the look on his face. "Why did you come all the way out here to ask me?"
"One of the other girls told me I had to ask you first."
"Well she lied to you," he laughed," you don't have to ask me if you can eat or not. I'm not that cruel of course you can." Maya, I sneered in my head. "Thank you, your highness," I said and walked away. I got back to the kitchen and saw Maya laughing at me.
"Really?" I asked when  I got up to her. "Yeah, really. I just wanted to see if you would actually go and do it. And you did," she laughed. I rolled my eyes.
I walked over to the fridge and opened it. It was full of food ranging from meat to fruits to vegetables and even seafood. The pantry was even stocked. I think I just died and went to heaven. Â I decided to make ox tail soup since I saw some ox tail in the freezer and it's kind of cold outside.
.....................................................................
By the time I was finished making the soup, all the girls were waiting with bowls in their hands. I passed it all out and then realized that I didn't make enough for me.
Oh well, I'll just make a sandwich. I cleaned up everything I had used and even all their bowls when they all got finished. They all went to their rooms and the only ones left in the kitchen were me and Maya.
"When do you think you're gonna come down to the room," she yawned. "When I get finished cleaning the rest of their bowls. You don't have to wait on me, don't we sleep in different rooms anyway?"
"Not anymore," she beamed," I switched with one of your roommates, before you woke up, I knew we would get along. She didn't have a problem with it. Oh and you can keep the ponytail since you didn't ask," she said poking out her tongue, "But anyway good night. Don't let the king bite," she winked and headed down the hallway.
I laughed at her antics and turned around and started back washing the dishes. When I was finally done, I sat down in a chair and put my head down. One day down, however many to go. I felt my stomach growl, "It's ok, I didn't forget about you," I said rubbing my belly.
"I didn't think you could forget about me so easily." I snapped my head up to see the king standing in front of me with a smile on his face. I noticed he changed out of his earlier clothes and was wearing something similar to what he was wearing when I first saw him. "A girl can dream," I said. He chuckled, " I bet she can. What are you still doing in here?"
"I just finished cleaning and was about to make myself something then head to bed." He nodded his head," OK well get to it." I rolled my eyes and got out the ingredients to make a turkey sandwich.
"Make me one too." I turned my head to look around to see who said that. I mean, didn't this man just eat. "Did someone just say something, because I'm pretty sure I didn't just hear someone who I know just ate ask me to make them something. Huh, I guess not." I turned to back at my sandwich.
I felt him come up behind me and my body tensed," I know you heard me. I shouldn't have to ask a petty little servant like you to make me something. You should be asking me if you can make one for yourself," he snarled in my ear.
I turned around and faced him, completely ignoring the fact that we were standing so close to each other that my face was almost against his chest. "I'm pretty sure that when I asked you earlier did I have to ask to eat, you told me no. That you weren't that cruel. So you can just take your words and shove them up your ass."
I grabbed my sandwich and stormed past him, or well I tried to. Bumping into him is like running into a brick wall. One of his hands gripped my arm, while the other held my chin tightly. "What did I say about disrespecting me," he said anger evident in his now almost black eyes.
"You said not to disrespect you in front of other people, you never said I couldn't do it when it was just me and you," I let out. A smile started to form on his face and I saw his eyes start to turn back to their original green color.
"Take your sandwich and go to bed. I don't want to see you again tonight. I am I clear?" I nodded my head. "Didn't hear that," he said turning his ear towards me.
"Yes sir," I said and made my way past him. The chefs are gonna be pissed when they see that I didn't put everything back. I doubt the king will, hell his ass still didn't get a sandwich.
I was almost out the kitchen when I heard him ask," What's your name?" All I want to do is eat my sandwich, I whined in my head. "Marie," I lied.
He tilted his head to the side," You don't look like a Marie." I rolled my eyes," Well I am, good night your highness."
With that I turned and ran to the servants quarters. I ate my sandwich and saw that there was a pair of pajamas on my bed with a note on it. 'The dress rides up when you sleep in it. Feels like you're gonna suffocate to death. Anyway, these are a new pair, Love Maya. P.S. Did you let him bite? *wink wink*'
I laughed at the note and changed into the pajamas. I fell onto the bed and got underneath the covers. Sigh, I need some chocolate.
