Chapter-12
507 Words
My head is pounding which is the only thing that is telling me that I am not dead. Not yet at least. I slowly open my eyes and then cover them instantly from the harsh light coming right on my face.
Fuck, I am parched. I sit up slowly and gulp the glass of the water, by my bedside like my life depends on it. Well, my life does depend on the glass of water right now.
I instantly feel a little better. I look around and I am not at home. My bed is neither this huge nor comfortable.
Where am I? I sit back and drink some more water as last night comes back to me, one memory at a time. I fainted in Carl. How the f**k did I end up drinking so much? How? And isn't Carl nice to bring me back safely to his place? I smile.
Is this his room? It's f*****g gorgeous. Will he trade houses with me? I am wondering when he comes inside my room. His room I mean.
"Hey baby girl, you're awake already? How are you feeling now?" He asks me sitting by my bed, looking at me with so much love and concern. I really must have been sick last night for him to look at me like that.
"Will you trade rooms with me?" I blurt out.
He looks at me like I am crazy. Well, the joke is on him because I am not crazy! Ha!
"What?" He asks me deadpan.
"The rooms... I mean your room is really beautiful. I like it."
"Well, it's yours now too. We'll be sharing it." He tells me and I can't help but smile. I love his room!
"Good, so glad that you're happy... " He says and then mutters something under his breath.
"What?"
"Nothing, I just can't wait for you to see the entire place... It's beautiful... You're gonna love it... " He says and I am so excited I can't wait.
I smile at him warmly and Carl looks wary. Why does he look wary?
"Let's go?"
"Wouldn't you like to have a bath first?"
"Oh yes! Of course... " I say and for the first time, I notice my clothes. I am in a slightly provocative pink night dress. It's not revealing per se but it's doing things about my curves.
I like it. But who helped me get into it?
Before I can ask him, the gigantic bathroom and the bathtub distract me. I squeal and run inside. I hear Carl chuckle.
"Enjoy... I guess?" He tells me from near the door. "I'll leave you something to wear on the bed... " He says and shuts the door for me.
I fill the bath with scalding hot water and look at the plethora of bathing oils and bath salts and take quite some time to decide the one I will be using today.
After, I slip out of the night dress and then into the tub. f**k, the water feels amazing.
