Hi, I’m Angelica

Hi, my name is Angelica. I work as a maid for a very wealthy woman named Lily, but I wasn’t always a maid to that kindhearted and wealthy woman. I used to be poor and homeless, living in sad, humid alleyways, begging for some spare change, and dumpster diving for whatever I could get my hands on, not knowing where my next meal would come from. I’d starve one, and that day would turn into two, and so on and so forth. I was out begging for money one day when I saw her (Lily) smiling down at me and offering me a place of shelter and comfort, so I accepted it. Now I’m a maid, working for her.

(This is where it all starts)

I sit on my bed, writing in my diary about my beloved master, writing down every single thought and feeling I have. Then, a maid knocks on my door and enters, “Angelica, you have to stop goofing off with that diary and get to work.” I nod quickly, hiding away my diary and leaving my room. I’m in a good mood while I clean, dusting down the pictures in the hallway, and humming when suddenly… thud! I trip over the carpet and fall. God, that’s embarrassing! I get up, and as I get up, I notice a maid coming towards me. The maid tells me, “Master wants to see you in her study." I get somewhat excited but also nervous at what she wants to tell me, so I nod, “Okay then.” I smooth out my skirt and walk to masters study. “Master? You needed me?” Master nods, her very dark brown/almost black eyes looking into my soft green ones.

My master's name is Lily; like I said in the beginning, she is my savior from the horrible homeless life I was living before; she is very strong and powerful, yet she is very kind and gentle, but that’s only one of the reasons I’m absolutely obsessed with her, not to mention her perfect body, straight black hair, and soft yet dark brown eyes. She is quite the opposite of me with my light brown/almost blond hair that’s wavy and my soft green eyes like grass on a beautiful spring morning.

I swallow the lump in my throat as I see Master nod yes. I hesitantly walk over to her desk and sit down in front of her. She sighs and pulls out something from her desk. Wait, no,  it can’t be. My diary! “Where did you get that from!?” I say as I slightly jump up from my chair; she speaks again. “I ordered one of the maids to go get it for me." My heart hammers in my chest. Could it have been that one maid that interrupted my diary session and told me to get to work? No! I shouldn’t have hid it in the fonts of them like an idiot! Master clears her throat. “Care to explain what you wrote in her?” I panic, “No, ma’am, I wish not to talk about it." She sighs. I look at my lap, and she specks up, “Well, if you’re not going to tell me anything, then I’ll ask you something. Why did you write down that you wanted me to call you my clumsy?” I fiddle with my fingers. “I don’t know, ma’am; I thought it would be cute and stuff and-and.” I start to panic before saying, “You can just throw it away; it just has some useless thoughts." It both my and her a bit off guard, but she continued, “No, I’m not getting rid of it." I sit there for a moment. I can’t hold it back anymore. I have to tell her how I feel; it’s now or never. “Listen, master, I really like you, and I want you to call me your clumsy because I want to be yours.” No! I just messed up any chance I had at being hers! She’ll think I’m a weirdo or that I’m moving too fast; I’m done for! Master suddenly chuckles softly, and I look up from my lap; she’s smiling and laughing; the sight makes my heart flutter; her laugh is so smooth, it’s almost like a lullaby. She looks up at me. “That’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.” I blush as she calls me dear, and she specks again. “Honestly, this might be too fast, but I like you too; it’s just something about you." I practically grin at her like a big dumb idiot, but I don’t hide it; I want her to see just how much I’m obsessed with her. “You know what?” She specks, “Come to my bedroom later, and one thing... call me Lily." I’m practically beaming out of excitement because I finally get to talk to her on a first name basis; who knows what’s in store for us? I nod quietly, “Yes, Lily!” I giggle happily and skip out of the study. I quickly finish all my maid duties for the day, and as night falls, I rush to Master Lily’s bedroom and enter.
