Chapter 111: Not possible (2)
Since Rafael was claiming to not be angered by her conversation with Logan, Annalise decided to move on from it before she did anger him by continuing to speak about it. As long as she had ended the first day on a positive note, she was satisfied.
"Why are you following me?" Rafael asked since Annalise continued to walk behind him. After her explanation of what happened between her and Logan, he expected she would leave him alone since there was nothing left for her to do. "Are you planning to sing me to sleep?"
"Of course not. I am to close the curtains for you and do any tasks you need to be done before you go to bed. I am following Mavis’s instructions," Annalise said. Everything she did had been on what Mavis or Edwin told her.
"She has been here for years and still does not understand me. You are finished for the day. Have dinner and rest right after. I do not need to leave the manor tomorrow, but you are to be at my door before breakfast. Do not stay up late and then you are not here when I wake up. I am expecting a second day that is better than the first," Rafael said, stopping in the middle of the hall so he could send her off. "Go on."
"I feel as though I am being told by my father not to stay up late with friends. I will be here before you wake up in the morning. Have a good night," Annalise bid him goodbye. She could jump for joy that she was finally free of being by his side for long hours.
"You are doing a terrible job of hiding that you are pleased to be finished for the day. Good night Annalise," Rafal said, shaking his head as he turned to leave. She had to be from another world since there was no one like her.
She was like the birthday gifts his mother would wrap up for him. Pretty on the outside with a surprise waiting for him. The fact that Annalise’s parents had another child concerned him. The two must have had a hard time raising Annalise and her brother. It was hard for him to manage having to deal with Annalise.
Rafael imagined that as a child, surrounded by farm animals, there was so much for her to pull pranks on someone with. It was good that she was not ready to marry anyone. She was saving her future husband from his awaited heart attack from what he would find in his bed if he were to piss off Annalise.
Rafael entered his quiet room. It turned lively only when Annalise or Edwin would come inside. The windows were wide open with the curtains blowing to the ceiling because of the high wind. Instead of going to shut the window and pulling the curtains so the sun would not be on his face in the morning, he went to his bed to lie down.
