Alpha's Wish

Eccentric Millionaire

(Zephra)

After they left, I decided to look over the room. I walked into the bathroom and was stunned. It was painted all white with two large sinks that had a full wall mirror above them. The edging was gold, and the sink faucets were gold as well. The shower was along the wall across from the sinks with full glass doors. There were three shower heads. One high, one low and one from the other side. There was a wall cabinet with towels, a body wash of many different scents, and a shampoo of many different types.Each of the shampoos had a conditioner to go with them. There was a clawfoot bathtub that was big enough to be a jacuzzi. There was a door with a light switch on the right-hand side of it. I opened the door and turned on the light. There were rows and rows on pants, shirts, jackets, skirts, dresses, and formal dresses. There were shoes of all kinds on a built-in rack. High heels, flats, boots, tennis shoes, Crocs, and bathroom slippers. I opened the drawers that were there.There was a bras of every color and style. The next drawer had panties of every type and color. The next one had pajamas, and the last one had lingerie. Black ones and red ones, purple ones and teal. Wow, someone has left their clothes behind here.

I heard a knock on the door, so I left the closet and turned off the light. I ran to the door. There was a beautiful older woman standing there with a tray.

"Your lunch, Miss." she walked in and went to the table in the corner with the two chairs. She set it down and started pulling the silver toppers off the dishes. It all smelled so good that my stomach was grumbling. Come to think about it, I hadn't eaten since the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I had quickly made myself yesterday.

"The Alph.. Alexander didn't know what you might like, so there is a variety here. If it isn't to your liking, let me know, and I will bring you whatever you want." She smiled and motioned to the tray.

There was fried chicken, lasagna, spaghetti, fish fillets, a hamburger, french fries, baked potato, potato chips , chocolate cake, red velet cake and apple pie. Geez, he really wasn't sure what to send, was he?

"No, I think that I should be able to find something in this variety I can eat. Thank you for bringing this up. I am sure this was difficult to bring up here. I am sorry he made such a fuss." I couldn't take my eyes off the food, and my stomach was grumbling louder.

"Oh, it is no trouble at all, Miss." She smiled brightly at me and just stood there. Was I supposed to tip her? Oh hell, I had no money.

"I wish I could tip you, but I don't have any money right now. I can tell Alexander that he needs to tip you." Here I was making promises for someone else's money. Man, what had this bump on the head done to me? I normally would have offered to work off anything that I owed. I was planning on talking to Alexander about working off the hospital and room.

She laughed, and it made her face look like it glowed. She seemed to be a really friendly woman. I wasn't sure why she was laughing. I really wasn't sure why she was still standing in place, either.

"No need, Miss, it has been taken care of. I am your personal assistant while you are here. My name is Trisha. I am here to help with anything you need. Since Alexander can't get in touch with you to make sure everything was alright, he asked me to do so." A personal assistant? Really, what is up with this guy? He is treating me like I am royalty or something. I can't say I mind the treatment, but it was a little over the top.

"Well, if you are going to be hanging around, then you need to call me Zephra, not Miss. Also, I think you need to contact whoever had this room last as they left all their clothes in the closet. I mean all of their clothes. Even some sexy nighttime apparel if you get my drift." She was smiling at me again and walked to the closet door. She turned on the light and stepped back.

"All of the clothes are for you. Alexander sent out a personal shopper. If there is anything you don't like, he said to just send it back. He wasn't quite sure about your size, but he hoped he got it mostly correct. All of the body wash, shampoos, and conditioners are for you as well. He didn't know which ones you would like, so he just got a variety." I walked over to the door and looked in. All of this was for me? How long did I think I would be staying?

"Your lunch is getting cold, Miss..I mean Zephra, so you better eat." She turned off the light and closed the door. I stood there for a minute with my mouth hanging open like a fish. When I turned to go back to the table, I stopped and turned to Trisha.

"What is going on here? I mean, this guy is like an eccentric millionaire. He is buying me things, giving me what looks to be the best room in the hotel, and has a personal assistant to take care of me.What does he want in return?" This was like one of those punked shows I had heard about. Is my foster mom going to come out from somewhere and shoot me? This was all too much. I stood there shaking.

Trisha lost her smile and came over to me. She led me back to the table and sat me down.

"Take a deep breath. Now, let it out. Take another one and let it out. Good now, you don't look like you want to pass out. Alexander just wants to help you and make you feel special. After all you have gone through, he just wants to give you something nice. Is that so hard to believe?" She gently rubs my arm up and down as I regain some semblance of thought.

"Yes. No one has ever wanted to give me anything nice except my adopted mom and dad." My voice was choked as the tears started to flow. I don't understand it, and it feels so wrong.

"Now, if you could do me a favor and eat something? He will ask me, and I don't want to hurt his feelings by saying you didn't eat what he sent." She smiled at me again with a very loving look and wiped the tears from my eyes. I turned and looked at the spread before me. I was hungry, and I would hate to hurt his feelings.

I decided to try the lasagne. It was one of my favorite things to eat. This tasted so good. I picked up a french fry and dipped it in the lasagne. It was fabulous. Before I knew it, I had eaten a little of everything. Trisha had sat next to me and watched me eat. I had offered her some but she told me she had already eaten. It was kind of strange having someone watch me eat, but I figured if she wanted to sit and watch, then so be it. After I was done, she picked up the tray and headed for the door.

"There now, don't you feel better?Why don't you take a nap and I will be back in time to help you get ready for dinner, OK?" A nap actually sounded good. I would love to lay down in that huge bed. I walked over to the bed and decided to lay on top of the covers. I may have taken a shower earlier, but I still felt like I would need another one before getting into this bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.
