HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

Xavier’s pov:

Mom smiled as I said those words and hugged me tight.

“Thank you so much Xavier.” She beamed enthusiastically.

“It’s okay mom.” I said and smiled lightly.

Hera’s pov:

“Hera dear, would you like to go with me to the Maddox mansion?” Emily asked with a smile as she got dressed.

‘really? You”d take me there?” I asked enthusiastically.

“Yeah. That’s if you”d go with me.” She smiled and packed her in a tight bun.

“I”d love to!” I smiled ecstatically.

“Alright. Let’s go.” She said and stared at me.

“But can I go dressed like this?” I asked as I stared at the strange clothes Emily had wore for me early this morning after breakfast.

“What’s wrong with it? It’s perfectly okay.” She smiled and took in my appearance.

“Okay, let’s go.” I smiled and we both left the room.

A silent wow escaped my lips as I stared around the big but what I still find difficult to call a house.

Before coming, we had entered a strange looking long – something like a house, but Emily had called it a bus.

Now, as I stared at this very huge and magnificent house before me, I was left awestruck.

What kind of a house is this?

Even in the palace at Marazona isn’t has half big as this.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I looked around the compound my eyes caught with about four to five small- like house. But it looked rather different from the houses I’ve seen.

And also, I had seen countless of this small houses on the road.

But why would a house move?

This is really so strange but yet, fascinating.

“Ma”am Emily, what exactly are those?” I asked curiously and pointed at where the small houses where.

“Oh! Those are cars. Just like the bus we had entered, that’s a car.” She explained with a smile.

‘really? A car? What’s a car?” I asked, perplexed.

“You ask too many questions Hera. A car is a four-wheeled vehicle that moves on the road and carry a little number of people to wherever they’re going.” She explained.

I mouthed an oh because I was still a little bit confused but I didn’t want to ask any questions further.

Emily held my hands and walked further into the compound.

She got to the door and pressed something on the door. Just immediately, the door opened revealing a beautiful girl with a smile on her face.

“Oh! You’re here Emily.” She smiled and opened the door wider for us to go in.

“Hi Ella.” Emily said as we walked into the house.

“You’re just in time to get ready to prepare lunch.

Ma”am Jenny just stepped out for a while.” She said further and joined us in walking inside the house.

I looked around the house and my jaw dropped in amazement.

The sight in front of me was something I’ve never seen before.

Oh my! I don’t even know the right words to use to describe this beautiful inside of the house.

I was awed as I looked around while Emily and Ella chatted.

My gaze suddenly fell on the television but this one was bigger than the one I had broken at Emily’s.

It was wider and it was hung beautifully on the wall.

The television was on and it was showing whatever strange things I didn’t know.

I didn’t seem frightened seeing people on it like I was at first when I saw them at Emily’s.

But suddenly, what I think is a male person suddenly showed up.

The male was beautiful and so cute, I’ve never seen a more beautiful person.

The male had what looked like a sweet in his lips and had a huge smile on his face.

Gorgeously beautiful!

He smiled at me while I smiled back. He winked at me and I felt my face heat up.

I winked back and laughed lightly.

Emily was done with whatever she was supposed to do and it was time for us to go.

We said bye to Ella while she waved at us in return.

“Let’s get some things at the grocery store.” Emily said as we walked out of the compound.

I nodded my head even though I don’t know what she meant by the *grocery store*.

As we made to enter what I think is the grocery store, I bumped into somebody.

“I’m sorry.” I said and tried to pick what fell from the persons hand but the person beat me to it.

The person took the gaze to stare at me and my eyes nearly fell off.

What?

This was the beautiful male I had seen on the television a while ago.

“Male? You really exist don’t you?” I asked in amazement.

He creased his eyebrows and stared at me like I’ve gone insane.

“Do you know me?” He frowned and poked his chest.

“Yes. And you know me too.” I smiled lightly.

“How?” He asked.

“You were the beautiful male that smiled and winked at me from the television!”
