I threw my clothes on my bed and I stepped into the shower. It was like hitting warm rain. It was gentle as it hit my skin. I moaned in approval.
"This feels great." I rinsed my face and tasted the salt as it was rinsed off down my face. I could feel my skin come back to life as I ran the soap over every curve. The sound of water hitting the floor was therapeutic. Scrubbing the salt from my hair felt near heavenly. I haven't showered in what feels like forever even though it was just within the last twenty four hours. I guess that's what happens when your on a plane for so long. I inhaled deeply, breathing in the sweet smelling steam. My aching muscles finally able to relax. I was safe here. I was with family.

I had snuck back into her room to retrieve her laundry so I could wash it for her. The smell of her showering caught my nose and I could feel my heart speed up and my wolf purr. Her scent was mixed with the smell of pomegranate and honey wash I had picked out. I thought she smelt sweet the first time we met. I could never pin point it until Josh told me she was coming to stay. I had nearly jumped out my skin trying to get everything she would ever need. I had asked mother to join me so she could make sure everything was there. If it wasn't for her, I would've missed a few things. It completely slipped my mind.
I shook my head and went for her cloths. I dug into her bag and pulled out wet clothes. Why are these all wet? I could smell strong perfume on it and grimaced. I'm guessing its what she had to do in order to escape. This smell was so much less appealing than her natural smell. I went ahead and shook the bags contents onto the bed. I grabbed everything that was wet or smelled of strong perfume. No way was she going to be smelling like that.
I heard the shower stop and i quickly shoved the rest back into her bag and slipped out as silently as I could. I closed her door and ran downstairs. I passed my mother and paused. She glanced at my hands full of clothes. She smiled and nodded.
"I'm guessing Lizzie has some dirty laundry?" She asked. I scrunched my nose and nodded.
"I'm guessing she had a hard time escaping. She drenched her clothes in perfume. She had the smell on her a bit but it wasn't nearly this strong." I said, gesturing to the lump of wet clothes. She put sighed and took them from me. Her nose scrunched.
"Any wolf would avoid this! I wouldn't be surprised if her sniffer doesn't work any more!" She called out walking away to put them in the wash. I had to wash my hands, the smell lingered on me and I wasn't a fan, but not only that, I didn't want her to know it was I who stole her dirty laundry. I smiled as I dried my hands. I hope she's happy here. I really do.
I want her to stay.

I thought I heard the click of a door and was on high alert. I listened intently but heard nothing more so I wrung my hair out and dried off. They had the fluffiest and softest teal towels I had ever seen. They smelled of lavender as well.
'Very calming.' Luna smiled.
'Yes. It is.' I agreed. I passed the mirror and looked at my reflection. I was in some rough shape. I looked exhausted. Under my eyes were dark and hallow looking, my cheeks looked slightly more sunken. I hadn't eaten since I had breakfast with that man, and that wasn't much food. I sighed. I should get dressed and go down stairs to eat. I quickly looked around and found a new brush. I carefully detangled my curls and put the brush back, wanting to keep things pretty and clean. I then found a toothbrush and toothpaste. I gave myself a good scrub of my teeth and mouth and exited the bathroom. My bag looked empty. I furrowed my brows and opened it up. I huffed but smiled. I knew Mo-Mo was the culpraite.
I grabbed some fresh undies and went into the closet. He had practically taken all of what I brought. I found a white flowy dress and bit my lip.
'Next.' Luna wasn't a fan of dresses. I smiled and moved to the next. Another white dress but this one was fitted looking. After going through it all I ended up settling for the white dress that was loose. I slid it on and smile. At least I don't need a bra with this! If anything, Luna and I both would prefer dresses if it meant no bra! It was not the most flattering dress on my but I'd take it. It was a size too big but that was no big deal to me!
I practically danced my way downstairs and into the kitchen where I met eyes with a female. She turned towards me, examining me. Her dark brown eyes scrutinizing my every inch. It made me feel annoyed.
"Hello to you, too." I said. Her eyes met mine and she rolled them. She turned her back to me and closed the fridge door. She walked from behind the island in the center of the kitchen and saw she was wearing shorts so short her checks hung out. Her top cut off just under her breasts. She was a very skinny woman, I could see her bones as she moved around me. Her hair was in a short, chin-length bob and short bangs that were cur right above her eye brows.
Once she was out of sight I puffed.
'Skinny Asian bitch.' Luna snapped.
'That's not nice!' I silenced her. She was always a bit more firey than I was. I continued over to the fridge and opened it up. I saw boxes saying which room they belonged to. It was pretty empty. I bit my lip and closed the fridge. I sighed and thought for a moment.
I ran back upstairs and grabbed some cash. I didn't have a purse though. Guess I'll carry it. I folded a hundred bucks in my hand.
'Its USD.' Luna mentioned.
'Fuck.' I could hear her snicker. I went back into my bag and grabbed all my money. I laid it on my bed and looked at it. I should transfer it to Korean currency or open an account here. I went across the hall and knocked on his door. He opened it before I even laid the third knock. I smiled.
"I need to make my money Korean." I joked. He snickered. He leaned against his door way and crossed his arms.
"Oh?" He raised a brow. I rolled my eyes and turned on my heels. I knew he would follow me. I went back to my room and looked at my lump of cash on my bed. I heard him 'hmm' from my doorway. He held up a finger and disappeared. He came back within minutes with a purse.
"Wont hold it all. But, anything over a couple thousand USD being transferred into a new account in Korea would look odd." He had a point. I grabbed the purse from him. I looked back at it. It was white and looked like an over-sized envelope with a golden chain. I shot him a look. He smiled. Hes enjoying this all too much.
"I like seeing you dress up. Last time I saw you, all you wore was you military outfit." I frowned and shoved a couple grand in my purse.
"I miss that uniform." I whispered. He sighed.
"I know. I think we can help fill the void here though." I look up and he smiles. "You'll need a job if you live here, after all."
"Good point. But first." I rubbed my stomach and it growled on command. He laughed.
