" Lilly! Please be careful!"
I heard Ceil say. I stopped doing my back flips and turned around. I was very close in colliding with Mayrine. She fell over even though I didn't touch her yet. I caught her and returned her balance.
" I'm so so very sorry!" I apologized having half of my body bowing to show how sorry I am.
" N-no! It's alright, Lilly! No need to be so sorry!" She said trying to assure me. Yet I couldn't help but to feel so guilty.
" So sorry! Is there anything I can do to make it up for you?" I asked feeling very bad about the whole situation.
" If you so insist, can you scrub the floor in front of the door way?"
" Yes! I'd love to!" I said and rushed into my room passed Ceil and Sebastian. I came back wearing an opposite color maids outfit. Added with some of my designs,
" Wow! What a cute maid's outfit!" Mayrine said astonished.
" Thank you! Sometimes I wear it when doing choirs!" I said happily.
" The supplies are down the hall under the last set of stairs" Mayrine directed.
" Thank you. And very sorry from before." I said and left. I happily grabbed the supplies and headed for the Hall. I analyzed the Hall and found the quickest way in cleaning it.
" I know someone's getting blisters tonight." I said referring to myself. I made quick work with the soap which somehow slipped through my fingers. As I struggle to get ahold of it, Ceil came to check on me.
" Don't worry Ceil." I assured him.
" I'll get to work as soon as I get this naughty boy under control." I said and held on to the soap.
But the second later, it fell in the bucket of water. I sighed and left it there. ' I've already waisted enough time anyway' I thought. Getting down into my knees and began scrubbing. I'm scrubbing near the door first so when I reached the stairs, I will dry it with a cloth and dry it again with another for a dry clean floor. Unfortunately, We had a guest who burst through the door giving me a noise bleed. Upon seeing the guest, I could tell he was masking his concern of my well being. I motioned him to not worry about me. The guest turned around to see me there treating my nosebleed.
" Oh. So sorry about that! Didn't know you were there." She said sheepishly.
A blonde with emerald eyes and long curls on the left and right of her head. Though she has upper shark teeth bangs that cover her eyebrows, she has a long strip of hair that hangs on right of her face to 1 inch below her neck. By look of her dress, it must be a special day. She wore a mainly red dress with puffy shoulders. Along her shoulders to half way of her ribs are a white lining flap. A pink bow keeping it together. Under that flap is a red piece of cloth that looks like a sternum with a white outline that stops at the waists. Right below is where her red dress spit with white lining on its borders. Pink and white cloth are right under the spilt. Around her elbows diamond lace. From there, the sleeves expand and ends with a white lace on the borders. On her neck, she wears a crimson ribbon with two pink roses on the left. On her head is the same is the same but the roses are on bows of crimson and a while lace to keep them together.
" Would have if you learned how to knock." I muttered. I had a handkerchief over my lips so she wouldn't see me mutter. I nodded in approval and the guest turned back to Ceil.
" Please be careful next time," He told her.
" Sorry. It's just been so long since I've seen you." She said. The way she said it made me want to barf as I rolled my eyes. ' Probably a few months or even weeks' I thought.
" It's only been a few weeks" He replied.
" It felt like an eternity." She said pouting.
That deserved another barf. That's when I noticed that another woman has entered with the guest. A brunet with caramel eyes. She wore her hair in a pony tail, which is rather long. She wore a brown overcoat with 4 black buttons. Her red dress peeps over from under and wore black socks with brown short heels. Se was glaring at me for some reason. Only the gentle smile and wave I gave her made had her change what she thought about me earlier. She didn't say much, but she left soon after. I overheard that she left the back way.
" Anyway, what's wrong with visiting your fiancé?" She pouted. I admit, I was shocked to hear that Ceil has a fiancé. Yet I feel happy for him. Even though I fell kinda sad inside.
" You know I have another." Ceil said. After hearing that, I gave him a smirk. ' Way to go Ceil!' I thought snickering.
" What's so funny?" I heard her say. I looked up at her and faced the door behind me.
Mayrine came over with a cloth and supplies for the floor. She greeted Ceil.
" Do you need any- whoa. You're almost done!" She said surprised. I looked around to see that I'll reach the steps in a few minuets. The angle view made me think that I was still far way.
" That was fast." I said noticing, Reaching the steps. I placed the bucket on the first step in the corner so no one can trip over it. After unwrapping the cloth on my neck, I wiped it down halfway and stood up. My back felt very stiff but I didn't show it. Mayrine helped me ring the cloth of water before going back on the floor. I used her cloth after for the final touch.
" All done!" I said happily that the task was done.
" How do you feel?" Mayrine asked me.
" I kinda feel like an old lady. I haven't scrubbed that much in a while." I said, holding my back.
" You didn't have to," Mayrine said felling guilty.
" No. I wanted to do it. I feel much better now that I did something." I said happily.
" Where to next?" I asked and climbed a few steps passed them. Ceil grabbed my wrist preventing me from continuing.
" Where are you going?" Ceil asked me. I turned around and show him my hands.
" See these?"
" Yes?"
" Do you see any blisters in them?"
" No."
" Yeah. I'm going to some choirs until I get them blistered. Besides, you have a guest to tend." I said and gained more steps.
" You just got here." He said protesting.
" But I don't want to be a burden." Ceil sighed.
" Be back by dinner then." He said. I smiled brightly and kissed Ciel on the cheek.
" Thanks." I said and continued my way up the stairs.
