Chapter 12
The night was falling. Bonnie was in her cabin thinking about the moment they
shared yesterday. They were so close from kissing ! Her heart fluttered. She
had never been attracted to a man before but it felt delicious. The fact that he
was white didn't bother her. She was brushing her hair with his gift. Her mind
drifted away and she started to daydream. A few minutes later, she heard a
knock on her door. She put her brush on her bed and got up. She fixed her dress
and smiled. Maybe it was Kai ! She opened the door and got a little confused.
Indeed it was Kai but he wasn't alone. A blonde woman was standing next to
him. She smiled to Bonnie.
Kai : Are you busy ?
Bonnie : No.
Kai : This is Caroline. She'll be with us for a couple of days. Can you take care of her, please ?
Bonnie : Of course.
Kai : Show her the cabin she'll sleep in. I'm going to talk to Richard. He needs to make an extra meal for our guest he walked away
Bonnie : Follow me she left her cabin
Caroline : What is your name ?
Bonnie : I'm Bonnie.
Caroline : It's a really cute name.
Bonnie : Um thanks she opened a door I hope this cabin is good enough.
Caroline : It will do. I'm just a passenger she went in
Bonnie : Let me help you she grabbed her luggage and put it on the bed
Caroline : Are you a freed slave ?
Bonnie : No, Kai bought me.
Caroline : I see.
Bonnie : Do you want me to bring your meal here ?
Caroline : Actually Kai invited me for dinner tonight.
Bonnie : Oh.
She got worried. This woman was so blonde and so beautiful. She also had a
fair skin. She looked at her own caramel one. Her hair was dark and wavy. She
felt like a black cat standing next to an angel.
Caroline : Can you help me with my dress ?
Bonnie : Yes she opened the luggage
She saw an ivory dress with bits of gold. Very flattering for Caroline's skin tone.
She grabbed it carefully. The material was soft and rich. Even Madam
Elizabeth didn't own such luxury. Bonnie envied her a little.
Caroline : You are the only woman on board ?
Bonnie : Yes and now you.
Later
Caroline went in Kai's cabin. A small table was brought in and dressed.
Kai : You look lovely.
Caroline : Thank you.
Kai : Please he gestured her to sit
They sat on their chairs. Bonnie came in with two trays and smiled politely.
Kai : he smiled widely That smells good.
Bonnie : Richard and I made it. We did all we could considering the oven is unavailable.
Kai : Right. I have to buy a new one.
The young woman put both trays on the table.
Kai : You're not eating here ?
Bonnie : I already ate.
Kai : Oh he put his hand on her waist I'll see you tomorrow then.
The contact sent some heat inside her.
Bonnie : weakly Yes she left
As soon as she closed the door her stomach grumbled. She lied but she didn't
want to stay with them. Then she thought about his hand on her waist and
smiled. She didn't have to worry about Caroline.
Caroline : Can I ask something ?
Kai : Yes.
Caroline : What is your relationship with that young girl ?
Kai : It's personnal.
Caroline : Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
Kai : You didn't but it's between Bonnie and me. Eat before it's cold.
