Different Worlds

Chapter 23

Julia's P.O.V

"Wake up sleepyhead." Leah said, tapping me on the head.

"Let me sleep for a little while." I mumbled.

"Girl, it's past 8." she chuckled.

"Okay, fine." I said, lifting my head and dragged myself out of bed.

"I'll put some clothes for you on the bed." she said as I headed to the bathroom.

I take a nice, warm bath and come out with a towel wrapped around me. I wear the floral red dress that Leah placed on the bed. She walks in a few minutes later and stares at me with her eyes wide open.

"Girl, you look hot in this." she said with a smile.

Hot, I don't see hot.

"Firstly, this is short. And secondly, it shows off this." I said, pointing at the cleavage.

"You talking about that little thing of yours?" she frowned, pointing at the cleavage.

"Yes. It's still visible." I uttered.

"Girl, you look good. Stop worrying about things you shouldn't be worrying about. This dress fits yiu perfectly." she smiled.

I walk towards her mirror so that I can see what she sees.

"Really?" I asked her whilst looking at myself.

"Yes." she smiled.

"Thank you." I said with a slight grin.

Don't get me wrong. The dress is nice, but it's not meant for people like me.

"By the way, we're going out for ice-creams." she uttered.

"Today?"

"Yes, today."

"I'm not leaving the house wearing this." I said sheepishly.

"Yes you are." she smiled. "And you'll be wearing these sandals as well." she said, giving me brown shoes.

"I hate the fact that you never take no for an answer." I muttered whilst wearing the shoes.

"You know me." she smirked.

We leave the room and head downstairs to have breakfast.

"Morning Ms Remini." I greeted her mom.

"Hey Julia. Did you settle in well yesterday?" she asked with a smile.

"I mean, I struggled to fall asleep because of your daughter's snoring. But eventually I fell asleep." I chuckled and she chuckled back.

"What do we have here?" Leah asked after looking at me because of what I said.

"Eggs, pancakes and cereals." she replied. "You girls sort yourselves out, and I'll be outside, planting these." she said, showing us a tray of plants.
