Lorraine’s POV
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. What happened? I remember I was with Shaw yesterday. Did I fall asleep in his car?
Who's room is this then? I realized I have so many questions in my mind. I don't think Shaw will take me home, I'm married to his brother.
I roamed my eyes around the room. It's pretty obvious that it's a guy's room with it's minimalist yet dark design. The room is clean and laid-back. I can smell a familiar scent with the sheets and I almost couldn't believe it. I'm in Seije's room? How did I end up here?
Panicking, I climbed down the bed, only to be scared when I saw a gun just above the table near the bed. Why does he have one? What is he, really? I walked towards it and tried to hold it to convince myself that it's true, and it's indeed true. It's cold and heavy, and scary..
“You shouldn’t put danger in your hands.” He appeared at the door, looking at me.
Shocked, the gun fell from my hands, falling to the bed. “S-Seije?”
Beads of sweat formed in my forehead when he advanced to me. I realized that even when I'm married to him, he's still a total stranger. The fact that he has a gun scared me more. “Sorry, I didn't mean to--” I stuttered and he cuts me out.
“Where were you yesterday?” He stopped a few inches away from me.
He towered over me and I couldn't stop myself from staring. I am in awe. He looks so manly. “Look at me.” He commanded.
I swallowed hard and looked at him. I met his deep grey eyes, expressionless and cold and.. hypnotizing. It's as if he's looking into my soul.
"Why were you with my brother?"
"He invited me and.." I don't know what else to say. Standing here infront of him made me forget about eveything that happened yesterday.
His forehead creased, "What did he tell you?" He's looking straight into my eyes, like he knows everything about me and he's just waiting for me to lie.
I realized his eyes look lifeless, I cannot see through it because it's dark and that darkness can instill fear to anyone.
"Listen Lorraine, from now on, you can't just talk to other people, most especially to strangers--"
"But your brother is not a stranger.."
"He's a stranger to me."
Huh? What does that mean? Aren't they going along well? Why? What happened?
He stepped closer and leaned so he our face will level, "Trust me and follow my rule, you won't get hurt if you do that."
I blinked my eyes twice and nodded. He stood up straight and turned his back on me, leaving me alone in his room again. I sat on his bed thinking about what I've gotten myself into. He's definitely scary.
It took me some time before I decided to go out of his room. I was heading to the kitchen to check for some food when I found out that we're not alone in the house. A few men in the living room looked at me when they noticed my presence.
"U-Uhm hi.." I greeted even when I'm not sure who they are, must be Seije's friends?
"Hi Miss Lorraine!" They smiled and greeted me.
I confirmed that they are Seije's friends because of that. I didn't know he has friends, he looks so serious and unfriendly. These guys doesn't look that dark like him, they can smile.
I smiled back, "Uhm I'm sorry I didn't know Seije got visitors. Do you guys want something? Juice? Perhaps are you hungry?"
They look mesmerized while looking at me, it took them quite some time to answer so I had to laugh awkwardly to knock some sense.
"Ah anything miss!" Thankfully one of them answered.
I nodded, "Alright, I'll prepare some snacks too." I said before leaving them for a while. I don't know where's Seije and why he left his visitors here. Where did he go when he left me in his room?
I made some clubhouse sandwich. I was preparing the juice when I heard the doorbell ringing. I wiped my hands and immediately went out to check who's outside, only to see my friends and co-models.
"Hi Lorraine! Good morning!" Claire greeted me.
I smiled and hurried to open the gates. "Why are you guys here?"
"We don't have anything to do today so we decided to pay you a visit." Misty said, her eyes traveled to a few cars parked in our garage. "You have other visitors?"
I nodded, "Uh yes, Seije's friends." I smiled at them. "Well it's a good thing you girls are here, I'm stuck here with a lot of guys so it's a relief."
We went to the living room so I can introduce them to Seije's friends. I even got surprised that Seije's already there talking to them. They look so engrossed on whatever they are talking about and we got their attention.
"Uhm hi, my friends are here too." I thought I should let him know.
He looked at my friends and then back at me. His eyes remain expressionless so I don't really know how to read him.
"If you're busy we can stay at the kitchen instead," I said because I think we're just disturbing them.
But then he shook his head, "No, they can join them here. I'll help you in the kitchen instead."
I blinked my eyes several times with what he said. What?
