♤KAMARI♤

We were currently seated at the dining table having dinner. Margaret and John were currently discussing about their company matters, yeah they had a company or scratch that they had companies.

Their wealth didn't just come from the citizens donation unlike some others. They were the famous 'Lloyd Steele group of companies' I had found out from them that they had started the business together so they named it after their surnames.

It was a hotel chain business. They also had high class restaurants littered around the world. No wonder they were a good option to my parents when they were in need.

We were done eating the meal and they had served us deserts, once I was sure the king and queen were not busy talking about business again I asked the question that had been bugging me.

"Um...." I cleared my throat as they looked at me waiting for what I wanted to say "can my friends come over sometimes if that's okay with you" I said looking up at them.

All eyes were on me and I wanted to so desperately shrink back in my seat. "Um..... never mind if that's a problem, I don't even know why I asked an......." I was rambling "You may" I stopped when I heard Margaret say that.

"Really?" I beamed and she nodded "we are family now so bring whoever you wanna bring" John added and I thanked them smiling happily.

Once their attention was away from me I felt Karmilla tap me, I turned to her to see her staring at me. "What's wrong sweetheart?" I asked.

She motioned for me to bend down and I did, bending down to her height "I want to show you my room" she whispered in my ear and I looked at her "really?" I asked.

She nodded "I like you so I want to show you my room" she said "Okay I'll come with you to your room" I whispered back in her ear and she giggled.

We looked like kids sharing a secret. I let a giggle escape my lips when Cameron stared at me silently questioning me making my grin  grow wider.

After every one had finished desert, Karmilla was too excited and practically tugged me along with her to her room.

Soon we arrived in front of a pink door that had 'Karmilla' inscribed on it. She pushed the door open and I entered with her.

I gasped at the room. It was beautiful, this was what would best be described as every little girls dream room.

It had dark pink walls with flower wallpapers and also butterflies. In the middle of the room was a canopy sized bed big enough for me to be able to sleep on but it was okay for her.

The bed had pink quilts and bed covers. They were was a drawer beside her bed and a nightstand lamp along with an alarm.

"Wanna see my closet?" She asked and I nodded. She walked towards the two doors and opened the one on her left. I walked towards her and looked at the closet.

It was just like mine but it was smaller in size. Asides that they were exactly the same, filled with dresses and shoes etc.

"Do you like it?" She asked when I didn't respond because I was still staring at the luxury presented to this little girl.

"You don't like it too" she said in a tiny voice and I looked down at her to see her head down and her shoulders slumped. I raised her chin to see her eyes filled with unshed tears.

"Of course I love it, I mean who wouldn't" I said smiling at her as I wiped her eyes.

"The kids in my school don't like it and they don't even like me" she said her voice cracking and my heart ached seeing her cry. I took her hand and led her to her bed.

I sat down and placed her lying down so that her head was on my lap as I stroked her hair.

"And why don't they like this cute little Angel?" I asked. "They said I was too proud because I was a princess" she said.

"Why would they think that?" I asked her."Last year when I had my birthday party, my classmates came over and I told them I wanted to  show them my room.I showed them my closet and they said they didn't like it, they said it was too girly." She said sniffing.

"I knew they didn't like me right from the very first day I stepped into the class. Mum had transferred me newly there. I tried to fit in but...." She trailed off crying.

Now I got it, she wasn't used to being around people with lower ranks. She wasn't showing off her luxury as they assumed.

I guess she was just used to showing the kids at her other school who were equally from higher ranks and they appreciated it because let's face it rich spoilt brats liked to compare their luxury not that I'm saying she's one.

I sat her up and pulled her to my lap. I pulled her face close to my chest " ahhh don't cry, it's not your fault" I said as I stroked her hair.

"Do you know the word jealousy?" I asked and she snorted "of course. I'm not stupid" she said and I chuckled.

"How old are you?" I asked "eight will be nine August" she said. That explains a lot.

"They are just jealous of the privilege you get to enjoy and they don't, you aren't proud so don't let whatever they say get to you" I said and she nodded.

"So do you have any friend?" I asked and she nodded. "How many?" I asked she started muttering something moving her fingers then she stopped and looked at me "sixteen" she replied.

"Woah! You have friends" I said and she shook her head "no, I want everyone to like me" she said and I shook my head at her.

"Not everyone can be your friend sweetheart, there'll still be people who hates your guts" I said and she stared at me weirdly and I smiled when I realized she didn't understand the meaning of guts.

"Someone or some people will still dislike you no matter what you try to do to please them. So be yourself and enjoy the company of the friends around you, okay?" I said.

She nodded "okay, thank you Kamari" she replied and I nodded. She let out an unladylike yawn and I giggled "looks like someone is sleepy " I said and she giggled in reply.

"Okay let's get you to bed" I told her as I got up with her and helped her get changed into her pyjamas and then tucked her in.

***********************************
I got out of Karmilla's bedroom as I closed the door gently so she wouldn't wake up. "How did you do that?" A voice asked.

I shrieked as I turned to meet a familiar piercing gray eyes that I'd recognise anywhere "oh my God, don't ever do that again" I almost yelled.

"Do what?" He asked. Seriously?? Is he dumb or what "sneak up on me like that. I almost had a heart attack" I  said with my hand on my chest.

He nodded in reply "you haven't answered my question " he said and I raised a brow at him "what question?" I asked.

"How were you able to convince her, I've been trying for a long time now" he said "um...... let's just say, it's girls connection???" I said more like a question.

He sighed and looked at Karmilla's door and in that instant I knew he really cared for his siblings, he had a soft spot for them.

I cleared my throat as if to let him know that I was still there. "Oooh" he said and shifted to the other side to let me pass "goodnight" I said as I started walking down the hall towards my room.

"Goodnight" he replied and I stopped to look at him, he smiled at me and with a wave he walked back to his room leaving me stunned at the hallway.

I didn't really expect him to reply but when he did, I don't know I can't even explain what I felt, did my heart flutter? Yes. Did I like It? Surprisingly yes.

Oh God!! What to do?? What the hell is wrong with me??
