Chapter 10- new life
"Lady Tea don't you want to see your new room?" the blonde asked with sparkling eyes and a candy-sweet smile.
Well, of course she wanted to see it. The room seemed to fulfil the purpose of being the resting place of a miss Kaiba! It just must be a wonderful if not the most wonderful room in the mansion. Tea giggled like a little girl who is about to get a birthday present, she couldn't wait to see the room. She looked at her ring again to remind herself that this is real. The diamond ring seemed to wink at her…of course it was real.
Tea stood up "Yes, I do want to see it" she exulted.
The girl looked very happy and cute, one could really see all her excitement and joy.
"I am sure you won't be disappointed…" praised Diana and smiled.
They walked to the room next door and Diana placed her hands on the door handle, she turned around facing Tea "Are you ready to see it?" giggled the young maid while looking more excited than Tea.
Tea jumped up and down "Yes! yes! yes!" she was clearly excited.
"Fine, then I welcome you to your new room" and with that Diana opened the door.
Tea stepped in with big eyes. This room really must be the best in the whole mansion! She couldn't imagine any room being more beautiful. The room was huge and separated in two parts that were connected by a single step. There was a huge lilac chiffon curtain right behind a step separating one part of the room with the other. The floor was covered with a white carpet and the furniture kept the white/purple theme. There was a big chandelier made of clear and rosé crystals. Everything seemed so precious and noble, it was the room of a queen.
"Madame I'd like to show you everything" teased the blonde. Tea gathered herself together but couldn't hold back her laughing. "I am not dreaming right?" she asked with big blue sparkling eyes. Diana shook her head "No this is as real as it gets".
"This part of the room in which we are standing is meant for you approving guests. As you can see, there are armchairs gathered around the round table that hopefully comfort you and your friends." explained the girl while stepping to the table. Tea followed her and looked at the décor. There was a teapot and cups made of porcelain and coloured in exotic patterns, also teaspoons, forks and knifes made out of silver. "These are all made by hand" informed Diana. "Am I supposed to use them?" Tea asked herself. Diana moved to one of the edges of the room and Tea noticed two Triclinium's that were pushed each to one of the walls. "This is for you and a person of your choice for more private conversation…I allow myself to add that one could really blaspheme about others while sitting here" Diana winked at her.
Tea giggled. "Okay, now it is time for the more intimate parts of life…" Diana took her hand and walked to the chiffon curtains. She pushed them asides and stepped with Tea to the other part of the room. Tea saw a big king-sized bed that was covered with big fluffy pillows and had beautiful sheer curtains at its edges. She stepped to it and felt the fabric…it was really soft. She intended to just sit down on the bed but sank in. This was the bed of her dreams.
Diana who was still standing, looked down to her and smiled. She offered her hand to help Tea stand up again. Tea stood up looking right into Diana's shining green eyes, she wanted to hug the world. She was indescribably happy. Only a few hours ago she was a servant and now she was the lady of all of this.
They walked to a door that Diana opened, revealing her own dressing room. "What? I have my own dressing room?" she asked not believing. Diana nodded. The wardrobe looked very elegant, it had silver ornaments and big mirrors. What a shame that her unworthy clothes are going to be kept here. They walked out of the dressing room to her private bathroom. Everything was made of white marble. She looked at the bath tub…she will be using it for stressful days. At the end they walked to a dressing table next to her bed. She looked into the mirror to convince herself that it was really her who stood in this room. Diana placed her hand on her shoulder and smiled "I leave you now and don't forget to meet Mr. Kaiba at breakfast". Diana left the room.
Tea gathered her breath and sat down on the bed. She couldn't wait to invite her friends, they would love chilling in this room. She brushed her teeth, put on a pair of baggy jeans and a pink T-shirt and went down to the dining room.
Kaiba was already sitting there, sipping coffee. "Do you like your new room?" he asked not looking up at her. She took a seat next to him, grabbed a toast and replied "Yes, it is simply wonderful!"
He smiled at her "Glad to see you happy." She started eating and noticed that he was looking at her up and down.
"Finish your breakfast and meet me in the limousine" he ordered her and stood up.
"Why?" she asked.
"I am sure you don't mind a bit shopping, am I right?"
She blushed. "Do you mean we are going to buy me new clothes?" she asked a bit curious.
He smiled at her seemingly dump question "Of course sugar"
"Don't you have a company to run?"
"Well, today is my day off and I'd love spending it with you"
Well, this seemed promising. She didn't mind spending his money on new cute clothes. "Okay, if you resist…."
"Perfect!" he answered and left. She finished eating and followed him outside. They entered the luxurious car after Kaiba told the driver their destination. He was busy staring at his laptop and Tea tried to focus on what she wanted to buy. Kaiba looked up and saw Tea smiling. He let out a week smile himself. It was easy to keep her happy, he would win their little challenge.
The car stopped, and they stepped out. They were standing before a boutique on which "madame Emma" was written. She could see all the sparkling and colourful clothes already. Kaiba gave her a golden card and told her to have fun.
"Aren't you coming with me?" she asked looking like a little child.
He smiled at her "No, I have to make some phone calls, but I will wait for you outside."
She nodded. She knew he was busy even if it was his day off. She took a deep breath and stepped in. Everything looked beautiful and expensive! She moved to some dresses and felt their fabric. They were so soft Tea considered. She saw a big hat and tried it on while looking into a mirror. Two girls dressed in maid-clothes walked down the stairs and headed to Tea.
"Excuse me miss but I don't think this suit you." One of them said with a French accent.
Tea looked at her "Oh, okay…what will suit me?" she asked innocently.
The girl rolled her eyes. "I am afraid nothing here, please leave" she ordered her while pushing her out.
"Hey, what are you doing? Do you think I can't afford these clothes? Because I can!" she showed the golden card Kaiba gave her earlier.
"It is probably a fake!" said the other girl and they pushed her out of the boutique.
Tea couldn't believe what just happened…never in her life was she treated that way. She felt unworthy and it was so embarrassing to her. She turned around and walked to Kaiba who was talking on his cell phone.
"I'll call you back!" and with that he hang up. He looked at Tea who was looking down.
"Didn't you like the clothes?" he asked while lifting her chin.
She couldn't hold back her tears. She was ashamed of herself and started crying "They have thrown me out and accused me of faken the card you gave me"
He pushed her to his chest and hugged her. It actually felt nice… He was strong, and his arms gave her the feeling of being protected. After a bit she stopped crying and looked up at him. He looked at her a very warm way. How could he act so well? If she didn't knew it was kaiba she...consider him caring and loving? He really deserved an Oscar. He wiped away a tear and smiled. He grabbed her hand and headed to the boutique.
"No, I don't want to go in there"
He turned to her "Weren't you supposed to act like a lady? " he challenged her. He was right… she was acting like a little child. She nodded, and they entered. He was still holding her hand. A smallish woman with orange hair who was wearing a tight dark red dress walked down the stairs and greeted Kaiba. She was probably 50+ years old.
"Bonjour monsieur Kaiba! Quelle surprise!"
" Bonjour madame emma, Est-ce que tu est bien ? "
" Oui, oui… Je suis bien merci! Comment puis-je vous aider aujourd'hui ? "
Tea didn't understand what they were saying, she just looked at them with a numb expression. Was he able to speak french?
"This is madame Emma, the owner of this place" Kaiba introduced. Tea smiled sweetly.
"And this is my fiancée Tea Gardner" he said and kissed Tea's hand.
"What a lovely young girl" the woman complimented.
"Yes, she is very precious to me and you will have to take good care of her today!" he said teasingly.
"Of course monsieur Kaiba, she will be in good company!" she said while smiling at Tea.
