Lip Synch 》H.S

Chapter 3: At The First Step

I groan escapes my lips and I stop from scrubbing the floors clean since my arms were starting to ache already.I drop the dirty towel inside the pail full of water.I sit up straight,stretching my arms as it made cracking sounds which would've annoyed Anna & Karen.Speaking of the devil,Karen steps out of her bedroom with pink curlers tangled in her blonde hair and only a bathrobe to cover up her most intimate parts.

"Is everything ready for tonight's dinner party?"She asks me and I nodded my head in response before speaking up.

"Yes.Every inch of space in this mansion is cleaned,the food is almost ready."

"Well that's great.As you can see Sandy,I still have to attend in taking care of my personal hygiene."She tells me,sashaying back to her room and she slams the wooden door behind her a little bit too loud.

"I still have to attend in taking care of my personal hygiene." -then why the fuck did she even bother talking to me in the first place?It pisses me off so much and I can just stuff so much shit inside her mouth.I stood up from the floor with slumped shoulders and my other hand carried the bucket of water.I went down the stairs,headed inside the kitchen to find Lisa creating pastries of her own for later evening's dinner party.

"Tired?"She asks me and a sigh escapes my lips,nodding my head in return.

"Very much."

"Do you want me to make you tea?"She asks again.

"Are you sure?You're still busy with those pastries."I pointed at the cupcakes that still needed to decorated elegantly.

"I have the time."

Lisa,she's a second mother to me.She has been in a very friendly relationship with my biological mother since then.I could say she's like a guardian angel and what makes me bad is because I sometimes ask myself if am I the reason why she never got married and had children.

I snap out of my thoughts as she places a cup of tea in front of me and I smile at her,mumbling a "Thank you"

"Aren't you going to dress up for the party?"She asks me and I shook my head.I don't want to go or take a step there trying to act like 25 year old socialite with a glass of champaign in her hand.

"Why not?"

Well Lisa,if you haven't searched my cabinets then I obviously have nothing worth for a party.Hell,I don't have anything that was bought with a fabulous price tag!If you wanted clothes with a spectacular brand such as Armani Exchange or Kamiseta then go search Karen's closet.

"I don't want to and I don't like to take further interest in it."I answer.

"You should attend it."She says and I tilt my head to the side,"Why?"

"Sandy,at this age of yours you should be having fun."

"You think so?"I ask her this time with a sad look.

Fun?

I don't even know if how do you define fun based on your actions.To me,fun is probably washing the dishes,dusting the curtains,scrubbing the floors and cleaning Karen's bathroom.Oh wait,that's not fun.That's going down a hell hole.

"Lisa,let's not talk about this at all."I wave her off,taking the warm cup in my hands as I brought it to my lips-taking small sips.As soon as I finished my beverage,I walk towards the counter and putting it down the sink.

***

The evening started with Anna's guest chattering around with different testimonies.Karen on the other hand is being escorted with an unknown gentleman while I,myself am being very boring.I stood up from the pain in the ass wooden stool I was sitting on,walking up to the open kitchen cabinet and my hands reached up for the cookie jar.
