1421 Words
"Ah"
A scared breathy gasp is heard as levanna shoots up from the bed in shock as she wakes up from yet another nightmare.
She holds her chest as she takes in deep breaths as if her life depended on it. The dreams were becoming more frequent nowadays, this was the fifth night in a row this week.
"Calm down levanna, it's just another nightmare, it was just a dream," she says slowly to herself trying to relax and somehow trick her mind into thinking it was just a usual nightmare or dream where it never actually happened.
But she knew it was not just a regular scary nightmare.
Because, unlike nightmares, this was worse because it did happen.
"The night mum died"
*sigh*
Levanna sighed as her heartbeat had finally settled down.
But now that she had come out of her dazed state and looked around, she realized that she was not in her room!
"Where the hell am I"
Her room was twice the size of the one she was in right now and was very less shabby.
She looked around in confusion as she took in the environment she was in, it was a small motel-like room and the walls were painted with brown plain paint, there was a little creepy rocking chair and a small table at the side that had a bottle of wine and two glasses.
She was about to look away but wait- why
"Why are there two glasses on that table when I'm the only one— ahhh"
She let out a scream as she looked to her side and saw a strange man asleep on the bed with her
She quickly clamped her mouth shut with her hands so she wouldn't wake him up
"Oh my God, just what the heck did I do last night"
She whispered in complete horror as she looked down at herself
"But all my clothes are still intact, nothing feels wrong with me down there either," she said trying to feel herself if anything was wrong but she wasn't quite sure…
"Oh God, just how did I-how did I get here" she said trying to remember what she was up to again.
"Okay, okay-okay first of all let's get out of here without anyone noticing Lev, especially the strange man in bed with me right now!!!"
Levanna said as she carefully tried to get herself out of bed with this unknown stranger in this unknown place.
She slid out of the covers and just as she was about to get down from the unusually high bed, she fell down flat on her face and landed on the ground.
…
"Great"
she mumbled as she quickly got up and took her bag which thankfully still had all her things and phone intact, it would be a shame if she had lost it that would've been the third time getting a new phone this week.
She grabbed her stiletto heels and didn't bother putting them on as she tiptoed to the door.
She looked back to look at the man on the bed and saw that he looked rather greasy and weird.
Ew.
"Levanna just what the hell did u do last night"
And with that, she opened the room door and ran out.
…….
She came out of the building and when she looked round she saw that it was indeed a motel, but not a small one.
"Oh whatever, I need to get out of here and figure out why I'm here in the first place, why don't I remember?, did I have a minor memory loss or something-"
She heard her phone ring and answered immediately.
"Stace-"
"Levanna Vale WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!"
Levanna had to take the phone away from her ears so she wouldn't go deaf from how loud her best friend Stacey was yelling- something had to be wrong.
"Jeez Stace, could u please tone it down a notch, my head's already pounding and I think I'm having a short state of anemia," levanna said looking through her bag for her car keys.
"Yeah, no s**t Sherlock, I'm sure u have anemia too, considering how you're God knows where and not here right now?" Stace said quickly
"What? What are u talking about Stacey?"
"Oh my God, do not tell me you actually forgot about the very important meeting you had today with your father?"
"…."
"The one where your presence is highly recommended?, well IT WAS recommended seeing how it's already so late"
"s**t"
"Yeah, s**t, I mean it's your dads meeting and I was here before you, did you even check the time lev, it's 4'oclock," Stacey said panting slightly feeling quite frustrated at her friend
"Stacey try to stall them, I'll be right there,"levanna said running towards her car at the side of the motel building and getting in.
"Stall who?, girl, you don't get it, The meeting was over like an hour ago, everyone even had drinks and small talk before they left and now it's just me your little brother, and a very furious Mr vale" she scoffed and whisper-yelled
Levanna paled as she turned on the ignition and started driving home to her very furious dad.
"You better hurry girl, no need to go home, your dad just said to meet him at the Louis cuisine for dinner"
"Okay, okay I'll be right there." levanna said thinking about how mad her dad would be… he told her about this months ago, the one thing he asked her to do for him and for the business and she messed up.
Must I always be so lightheaded. she thought
"Don't be late Lev" and with that, Stacey hung up leaving levanna in her own self-diminishing thoughts as she drove all the way to the Louis cuisine.
………
It was a 30-minute drive from the motel she was at to the Louis Cuisine, the biggest restaurant in the city, which was only open to the top people of the town.
Others had to make reservations and if you were lucky you would get a table
But those rules didn't apply to the Vales, of course, so instead of the long line at the front of the huge restaurant building, she just passed by the VIP sectioned door and headed straight for the elevator.
She braced herself for the definite scolding she was about to receive
As soon as the elevator doors opened levanna was met with a very very unexpected surprise.
Right in the middle of the VIP section stood her dad, Stacey and a few other of his business partners on one side, and on the other side stood other men who she didn't quite recognize
The men on the other side looked so big and quite ruggedly beautiful, that she couldn't help but analyze them.
But the one that spiked her immense interest was the one in front of the big men. There was just something about him. He-he was too handsome to be classified as real, as she took in his frame a little longer forgetting everything and everyone around her
He was big and muscular like he was a bodybuilder but not so bulky, he was tall and tan with deep brown hair and beautiful light green eyes.
Oh God, she was folding and she didn't even know who he was.
And as if sensing a pair of eyes on him the man turned sharply to look at levanna and smirked as if knowing something she didn't know.
Levanna clenched her legs at the look he just gave
what the hell was that!!!
The man looked back at Mr vale, before walking away to leave, which was where levanna stood almost starstruck by his otherworldly looks.
The man walked up to her with such speed and aura but just before he could pass her, he stopped and went a bit closer to her,
took a long sniff of the air and chuckled.
Why was he chuckling, oh my gosh don't tell me I smell that bad…
But the man instead turned back around to face Mr. Vale and said
"I think you should focus on watching your daughter very well Mr vale… "
"Look how anxious she looks"
"Smell how excited she is"
And with that, he turned and headed straight for the elevator with his men leaving a very red-looking levanna flustered at the entrance knowing exactly what he meant.
And by the look on dads face, he understood it too
"Oh s**t"
