Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 3

"Get up." Tammy whispered and I stood up immediately.

Standing up brought the clear view of the person and guess who.

It was Mrs Malika and the so called queen of the house, Rachel.

"You are all here, will the toilets clean itself." Her voice was so loud that I cringed.

"No Ma'am." They chorused while Rachael smiled.

"Get to work." She said and we scrambled out of the room with Tammy dragging me along.

"Does she always act that way?" I asked.

"You'll get use to it." She said and I shrugged.

I didn't think I would.

"We have to get our cleaning tools and get to work." Maddy said and they nodded.

She's bossy

"Patricia you're cleaning the bed room, Christy can accompany you too." Her hands made gestures as she spoke. "Laura and Tammy, you guys will take care of that bathroom."

"What is Maddy gonna do?" I asked as I cleaned the sink.

"She's gonna be cleaning Miss Milika bedroom." She said.

"What about Rachael." I asked.

"She doesn't do anything." She said.

"Wow!" I exclaimed.

"She's exclusive in our chores, that's so unfair." I said.

"Yeah, but we don't have a say." She said.

"Oh." I pouted.

Bummer.

"Oh, I just can't wait for tomorrow." She shrieked happily.

"What's gonna happen tomorrow?" I asked.

"Mr Howard is coming." She said.

"And?" I asked, cause I know there's more to it.

"He brings gifts with him." She said.

"I'm done." I said.

"Just now." She asked, surprised and I nodded.

Even though I spent half of my life on the streets, I am not lazy, there's nothing I hate more than laziness.

"I'll help you." I said getting closer to her.

"Nah I can finish it myself, thanks anyway." She smiled.

"You can go check on the others, I'll be out in a minute." She said and I nodded.

I slowly walked to the room, leaving my equipments behind.

Dang it.

Christy and Patricia already finished cleaning so I spent some time with them.

"I am done." Tammy said as she strolled out of the bathroom.

I looked at her hands and saw both my cleaning equipment and hers.

She's so nice.

Speaking from the heart.

"We should drop these, follow me." She said and trailed behind her.

"Okey dokeyi." I said and we laughed.

Where did that come out from?

"It has being long since I heard that." She said between laugher.

"We should go before Madam Madison will come and chop our head off for slacking." She said.
