"Thank you for visiting our store,we hope to see you next time, have a good day"Amelia said wearing a very big smile on her face.

   "See you next time" the customer, a woman in her early thirties said as she exited the store.

    Amelia Nelson is a sixteen years old girl with long silky dark brown hair, which is always wrapped in a loose bun while at work. She is a bit taller than most girls of her age which makes her look more mature. Her smooth white skin which is like a sheet of well done cloth gives her an elegant and rich look contrasting to her background.

   "Excited to leave?" Avery asked twriling her braids with her fingers, "Cause I am" she added. "The reason is because Owen asked me out, he said he would really love to spend the weekend with me, he also messaged me not quite long, saying he can't wait to see me. Like he really noticed me, I mean OWEN TORRES noticed me, like me!!!!"

   'Typical Avery' Amelia thought to herself. 'Today she is telling me about her new boyfriend, giving advice and enlightening me on the importance of having one and the next day, she is crying on my shoulder, telling me how big of a jerk boys are, reasons why I should not have a boyfriend now and so on' Amelia shook her head while staring at Avery, admiring her facial features.

    Avery is your typical American beauty, with Sandy blonde hair, sea blue eyes, a slender but curvy body with an average height. She has a lot of admirers, having a new boyfriend almost every week and she practically drools over boys a lot. Staring at Avery, Amelia wished she could be like her, be free to smile whenever she wants without having to think about anything and be like a normal teenager. 'But it is not possible, not right now' she thought before letting out a defeated sigh.

    "Gosh, I really can't wait to see Owen's handsome face tonight" Avery paused then continued "I really hope he isn't like the others" she said with her voice cracking a little, then she sighed deeply.

     " I also hope he is not" Amelia added in understanding. "Well don't think too much about that, just focus on your date, you never know, he might be your Mr Right, so cheer up"

     "Yeah, you might be right" Avery said in agreement, her mood obviously better than before.

  "Well, keeping that aside, I am really sure you are waiting for your shift to be over and it's going to be over in like 30 minutes"

    "Yeah, that's right and I hope that in the remaining 30 minutes there comes no stressful, frustrating and patience requiring customers" Amelia said with self pity laced in her voice.

    "I hope so too" Avery agreed with her and began pressing her phone.

   Looking around and seeing no one in coming, Amelia took out her earpods and her phone, wore the earpods and began browsing through social media. She is not a social media enthusiast but browse through it for formalities sake, unlike Avery who spends most of her free time online. 

  Keeping her head on her hands which were folded on the counter, she watched a movie on YouTube, focusing on it intensely like she is profiting from it. With her earpods on, and Avery practically oblivious to her surroundings, neither of them heard the door jingle. Amelia also was oblivious to the fact that there's someone standing in front of her, until she saw a hand tapping the counter and then she looked up, taking off the earpods at the same time.

    "Good afternoon, welcome to SAE (Shop At Ease) store. How may I help you?" Amelia said wearing her signature smile meant for customers. But the boy standing in front of her didn't even hear a word she said because he was captivated by her beauty.

Staring at her loose bun hair, he did not fail to notice that her dark brown hair are streaked with golden strands; he noticed every single parts of her face, starting with her big and deep dark brown eyes which can speak thousands of words, her slender eyebrows with long velvety eyelashes, her elegantly straight nose which fitted perfectly with her white skin. He also noticed the black freckles which scattered around her nose and cheeks made her look cuter adding more to her charm.

While he was checking her out, Amelia also did not fail to notice how handsome he is.

She noticed his dark blue eyes which can be mistaken for black unless you take a close look at it, she also noticed his wavy black hair which were highlighted with brown streaks are thick and lustrous, his jaws which curved gracefully around the grace of his neck, his smooth flawless skin, which is like that of a new born baby.

They locked their gaze upon each other for a couple of seconds more before Amelia broke it off. She waved her hands across his face breaking his focus.

"How may I help you sir" she said with a big smile. That voice and the smile did something to him and his gaze flickered to her lips; her thin sexy kissable lips, he gulped hard.

"Ummm, where do I find the sanitary station" he asked tearing his gaze away from her face and his ears turned a light shade of pink as he asked her the question.

"Go straight from here, turn right, walk past three shelves, turn left, after two more shelves you will find it" she answered, her lips in a straight line.

"Can you please take me there, l'm not sure l can remember all you just said" he requested and then thought to himself PLEASE!!!, he had never said please to anyone so easily not even his own parents and here he is saying it to a stranger like it is something he says every day. He shook his head.

"Sure just a moment please" Amelia replied as she got down from her stool, walked over to Avery, said something to her and Avery glanced at the boy and then Amelia before smirking. Amelia walked over to the boy and motioned for him to follow her.

She walked straight, turned right, walk past three shelves, turned left after two shelves and got to the sanitary station just as she described.

"Here we are, help yourself" she said as she turned around to face him.

He was standing tall in front of her, staring at her with an emotion she could not comprehend. Before she turned around, he was staring intensely at her thin sculpted figure which is attractive and as hot as hell, the way she swayed her hips while she walked, he couldn't stop staring at her. As she turned around, her face glowed as she talked, he couldn't help but notice all this.

Amelia herself as noticed his body, the twining cords of muscles that connected his jaw to his neck and disappeared beneath his shirt and gosh that chest, it looks like his packs is in need of freedom. Obviously, guessing from the way it clung unto his shirt. She tore her gaze away from his body by blinking fast and stare at the floor.

"Sooo, help yourself" Amelia said and proceeded to leave. He could not let her go just like that without knowing her name, he thought to himself.

"Miss, could you help me with selecting a brand" he requested.

"Of what?"

"And my name is Amelia not miss" Amelia replied. His ears turned a deep shade of pink. Amelia understood his reaction and chuckled lightly. But that did something to him, something that he himself could not understand.

"Tell me how old she is mister" Amelia inquired after composing herself.

"Sixteen Amelia, and my name is Damian, not mister" he said and smiled softly.The way her name rolled off his tongue sparked something interesting in her.

"Damian" she paused and looked up to him before continuing.

"So she is sixteen, then this should be good for her" she said while bringing out 'ALWAYS' pad out from the shelf.

"This is just perfect for her" Amelia said handing it to him and smiled softly.

"Thanks" Damian said softly.

"You are welcomed".

Sitting on a stool beside the counter with a beet red face, Amelia could not help but use her hair as a curtain to protect herself from further embarrassment from Avery.

'His skin is damn soft, and he looks so much more handsome up close' amelia thought to herself. She shook her head

'What the fuck am I thinking'

'What was that for'

'Handsome, what do I mean by that'

'Amelia get a grip, remember no distractions, you've got a lot more to do, a lot more to achieve, so no distractions'

'I bet I'm as red as fuck' she moves more of her hair to her face,

'Avery can't see me like this'.

"Tell me what happened between the both of you back there, did it all go as I planned, tell me did my plan work out; hmm judging from the look on your face, it is obvious that my plan worked, tell me Amelia how do you feel?" Avery teased Amelia adding more to her embarrassment. Amelia's face turned a deeper shade of red.

"Gosh Avery, you're very embarrassing" amelia said,forcing the words out of her throat.

"Hmm, embarrassing? I don't think so. Amelia can you please enlighten and broaden my horizon on the reason why your face is red and why you let your bun loose,I thought you prefer to keep your hair in bun while at work, so why the sudden change of heart?" Avery's high pitched voice echoed throughout the entire store. The alarm went off indicating a change of shift.

"Well you're one lucky bitch miss" Avery joked. Amelia stood up,went into the changing room,changed her dress and put her hair in ponytail, took her end of the month bonus package and exited the room.

"Bye Mira, see you on Monday and thanks for your not so embarrassing speech, it actually helped a lot by adding more to my embarrassment and don't forget to tell me about your date".

"Bye Amy and thanks for acknowledging that fact, I love you too. Don't worry, I'll keep you updated, see you on Monday". Avery said and laughed. Amelia exited the store.

Walking down the street, Amelia looked around her surrounding taking every little thing in detail. From the way people talked, smiled and laughed among themselves, she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. She murmured to herself,

"How I wish"

On getting home, Amelia took a deep breath before opening the door,letting herself into what she would call her very own prison.

Taking a few steps forward,she took off her coat, took off her shoes, dropped the basket she was holding at the corner of the house and wore her comfy slippers.

Looking around the in search of someone, she wondered,

'Why is the house so quiet'.

She walked towards the nearest door which had a warning on top 'KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER, UNLESS YOU ARE SEEKING DEATH' and right under it was 'This room is the property of the cutest, most beautiful and intelligent twins - FRANSCISCA a beauty goddess and , FRANSISCO the genius. Amelia deliberated on whether she should go in or not. After a few seconds, she knocked on the door softly, after getting no response she entered. Inside the room, there was two separate beds, each in different colors. The right side of the room is dark green while the other side is bright yellow in color.

The things in the room were kind of organized and the settings of the room is a typical teenager room [so let your imagination take control at this point].

Fransisca was on the bed with her book in her hands,reading while Fransisco was on a stool beside his bed working on something Amelia knows she could not understand.

Amelia cleared her throat, making a loud noise so it would attract the insiders attention. The twins head whipped in the direction of the noise.

"Good afternoon sis, what do you need" Francisco was the first to acknowledge Amelia's presence and he talked politely to her while Fransisca on the other hand simply rolled her eyes and snorted,

"What else can she need other than making our lives miserable" Fransisca said coldly and continued reading her book.

"Sisca, not now, we already discussed this matter, so don't bring it up again" Francisco reprimanded his sister who only snorted in reply while Amelia stood rigid on her spot.

"Well you can think whatever you want to Fransisca, I DON'T CARE, cause all I care about is you getting your damn ass to the kitchen and preparing dinner for everyone and I'm talking to the both of you got it!!!!" Amelia said out of anger before continuing.

"So you are free to think whatever you want, we're living in a free world girl, so I DON'T CARE".

"You are just a maid and nothing else in this house, so what gives you the right to reprimand me and order me around?" Francisca questioned Amelia.

"If you want to know what right I have over you, then go downstairs and ask Olivia, she has the answer, so don't bother me with those silly questions" Amelia said as she paused before continuing,

"And if you know what is good for you, do what I asked you to unless you want to see what I can do" Amelia said angrily and left the room.

The twins were in a daze after Amelia left the room, especially Francisca, because neither of them had heard Amelia use strong words like that nor see her get angry at them. Amelia's outburst scarred Francisca more because she has always considered her scary and mysterious despite living under the same roof, Francisca's black eyes were filled with fear.

Amelia outside the room took a deep breath and moved to the room beside it, this room was decorated in a more childish manner.

The space within the four walls of the small room felt like two different worlds. A thin line,as thin as line ever gets, divided the room into two sections; one dark blue and the other, sky blue.

The dark blue portion was neatly arranged,a made bed with a cute peaceful looking Emilio sleeping on it,unstained carpet, neatly organized shelves of books and toys and a proper closet.

The other section was about as clean as a dump.Toys scattered all over the stained carpet, shelves were empty apart from a few broken crayons.The worst part of all,on the disorganized bed,a messy Emily was asleep with a candy in her hand.

Looking at the two figures sleeping peacefully, Amelia smiled softly.She went over to Emilio's side and took off his glasses and put it in the case which was on top of the desk. Then she went to Emily's side and took the candy from her clutches and tucked in her properly,switched off the lights and left the room.
