Heaven or reborn
1089 Words
IN THE KING MANSION-
A young lady stirred on the bed feeling too lazy to get up. But slowly she opened her eyes and gasped because of the bright lights coming in through the windows.
"Mm" she groaned. "I hate mornings"
She yawned then flapped her hand in front of her nose mumbling "morning breath"
She sat up on the bed and surveyed her surroundings. Was she in heaven?
Why does heaven look like her old bedroom?
RING RING
She covered her ears from the loud ringing sound while searching for the source. She spotted a sleek black phone on the bedside table.
She reached out and took it. Peering at the screen she realised that it was the alarm she set for five thirty. She turned it off.
She always wondered if the time in heaven was the same as the one on earth. But when she checked the date she saw that it was dated three years ago.
Hmph. She'll just complain to God and have him give her another one.
She couldn't believe that she made it. Maybe all the good deeds she did on earth was finally paying off.
Her tummy rumbled and she clicked her tongue trying to remember how many days she was starved before she died.
A week?
No was it five days?...
Anyways that didn't matter because God would feed her adequately. Maybe she should show her appreciation by making breakfast.
Humming a tune under her breath she climbed out of bed a little annoyed that she had to part with her bed.
She stretched her limbs and thought of all the people she expected to see. Maybe her brother made it. He was a crook no doubt but he had the heart of a child.
She couldn't wait to meet her parents. Putting a finger under her chin she remembered that her parents were still alive.
Hmph. Then she'll just watch them from her then.
She walked over to the mirror and nearly punched the face that she saw. A horrible looking being was gazing back at her.
Why was she wearing this horrible make up?
Wasn't she in heaven?
She looked at her PJs. Why was she wearing pajamas?
Where was her white dress?
It couldn't be that... Of course not. Such things only happen in the movies and novels. There's no way that she is reborn right?
But that would explain the date on her phone. What nonsense. She was in heaven and thats what she chooses to believe.
There's no way that she was sent back to relive all the pain right?
Oh c'mon she couldn't die the second time. She had to do something to get her revenge on her 'friend'.
She sniffed herself and her nose nearly fell off. So this is what all those comics meant by "R.I.P nose"
She reeked of alcohol. Then she thought hard as to why she was alcohol and why her PJs smelt like it.
Being a neat freak she shrugged the clothes off her body, then the memories came back hitting her with full force of her blatant stupidity.
She had partied all night to annoy her parents. But Lexus had been so kind as to bring her back.
No wonder her head hurt from the alarm ringing.
She smiled brightly as she thought of Lexus. Then she slapped her face. No. She couldn't fall for him. She doesn't deserve him after everything she did. But....How do you stop yourself from loving someone when you know it will never work out?
She felt the tears stinging her eyes but she wiped them away.
Now that she knew the pattern of how everything will happen she might as well be lazy and have a care free life.
Thinking of how she could lay in bed all day doing nothing yet having people to wait on her sounded divine. After all what is better than being lazy and rich.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Young Miss your parents have asked you to join them for breakfast?"
Breakfast...?!
She scrambled to the door and nearly opened it when she remembered her bizzare appearance.
"Um..can you please send mine upstairs? I have a headache"
"Y-yes Young Miss" the maid has nearly tripped when she heard the Young Miss say "please"
Wasn't that word foreign to her?
The maid hurried down to deliver the message to Richard King, the master of the house.
"Headache?" they were alarmed.
"It must be a hangover" Bradley King, her elder brother said. "Add some hangover soup for her, Nanny Blanca"
Nanny Blanca nodded with a stiff smile, she hesitated for a bit, wondering whether to tell them of the Young Miss's behavior this morning. She decided not to say anything and left to prepare breakfast for the Young Miss.
Bella on the other hand had taken the quickest bath she had ever had. She brushed her teeth three times trying to get the smell of alcohol replaced by the minty toothpaste.
She first paused, thinking about why her parents would be up this early on the weekend. It was just eight.
Oh. Sh*t. How did she forget?
Lexus was coming today for an early lunch by twelve. She face palmed herself. She decided not to wear any clothes for now.
Draping herself with a bathrobe she stepped out of the bathroom feeling refreshed after scrubbing all those fake tattoos from her body.
Her wet hair fell on her back making her shiver from the cold water touching the back of her neck. She quickly wrapped it with a towel.
She admired her beautiful face in the mirror. "The only time I see a pretty person is when I look in the mirror"
Her reverie was cut short by a knock on the door. "Yes?"
"Miss your breakfast" she heard nanny Blanca say.
Her stomach grumbled again and she nearly cried from how hungry she was. Lifting up the ends of the huge robe that showed no calves, she ran to the door and opened it.
Nanny Blanca was surprised that the Young Miss had offered to open the door for her but she said nothing. She went straight to the kings bed and dropped the tray.
Her brows furrowed when she saw the arranged bed. "Miss Bella did you arrange the....?" she couldn't continue when she came face to face with Bella.
The Young Miss's face was free of the usual heavy and ugly makeup. There was no earrings on her lips, her nose, her brows...
Her face was flawless…
