Chapter 250: Late night talk (3)
"The women make it complicated," Rafael answered.
"Well, then you should stop picking complicated women. Rafael, what happened to the food you offered me? There were also supposed to be drinks here but I don’t see any. Did you lie just to get in bed with you?" Annalise asked, wanting the food that was promised to her.
She hadn’t eaten since long before the ball and it wasn’t a lot because she thought she would get to eat again.
Why wasn’t there any food at the ball? If there was, why hadn’t she seen it so she could have eaten something? What did everyone eat to be able to get through the boring ball without looking for food?
"You want me to get out of this bed to search for food and drinks at this hour?" Rafael asked, needing to be clear that was what she wanted.
"I thought being a commander would make you smart. That is clearly the reason I brought it up. I am hungry. I ate a little before the ball because your mother spoke of fears of not fitting in the dress. You did promise me so you should keep your promise," said Annalise, ending her words with a smile to convince him.
Rafael sighed as he sat up to get the food and drinks he promised her. It was late so the servants must have gone home already and if there were any to stay here, they were already in their beds so he had to gather everything himself.
"Do not sneak out while I am away," Rafael said as he walked to the door. He wouldn’t put it past her to use this as a distraction so she could run back to her bedroom.
Annalise switched positions to watch him leave. "And miss the food coming my way? Never! I will be waiting here for you and as a maid, I must warn you that you shouldn’t keep a lady waiting too long."
