jaded hearts

Getting familiar with my environment

/Aurora's POV/

"my cramps are usually not this terrible, it not only came earlier than expected its more severe this time"I grumbled

I was still trying to figure out what could have happened when my hotel room door ,opens which I feel is quite strange since I didnt call for room service, I was still trying to gather momentum to turn over since I have been lying on my tummy for quite a while now when a familiar fragrance which is a blend of ocean, tobacco and wood bouquet invades my nostrils. unlike the aromatic smell of flowers I have been trying to avoid so badly ever since I got to jade, this is really mild and oddly comforting

I feel someone's presence behind me and I turn over to meet my valets tired sterling grey eyes, his surf blue blazer is gone and he has a white round neck top on that sticks to his muscular build outlining his abs.

I thought he left without saying goodbye when I declined his offer to get me some stuffs from the mall, but the thing is I just didn't want to bother him and he is in no way obligated to help me. he drops the shopping bags in his hands on big king sized I am lying on after which he makes his way really close toe picks up a pillow to help me get comfortable while I am still struggling to sit.

He makes his way to the lower part of the bed where he kept the shopping bags and starts to empty them, the first bag contains different types and brands of wings, the other different brands of tampons, and the last bag is not as big as the initial bags he emptied it has tea bags and really cute hot water flask.

"I don't know what exactly you will like so I got everything I could find"

he says and gestures awkwardly at the tampons and wings lying on the bed

"I was just trying to help"

he adds after waiting for me to say something and I don't.I stifle back my laugh noticing how awkward the whole thing is making him feel, he starts to. look around the room like he has lost something, which I interpret is to get himself out of this situation

come to think of it,am the one supposed to feel so awkward at a guy or a stranger buying me wings or even having the slightest idea am on my period, this whole thing feels awkward but not the creepy kind of awkward assuming we didnt just meet it won't be like this.

I follow his gaze as it lands on a small coffee maker on the cabinet,he picks up tea bags and starts brewing tea instead of coffee

"here is chamomile tea,I heard it helps to relieve cramps"

he says handing over a chalk white jug with red polka dots on it to me

"thank you"I replied

"you can just take it sip by sip, I will put more of the tea in a hot water flask so that the tea temperature can be preserved"he continues

if am being honest am stunned by every single thing this valet has done for me today from helping me check in, going to the mall, and preparing the things he thinks I will need in advance

"I am really grateful for the help you rendered to me today even though you are not obligated to, you still chose to help"

I say realizing I have not really said much to the valet which is quite rude considering all he has done for me,I don't want him to feel am an ingrate because if not for his help, I can't pull this off successfully without my finding out

"you are welcome"he replies tiredly before retiring to a brown exotic leather love seat in the sitting area of the hotel room that is more like a mini sitting room differentiated from the main room by transparent glass door and exotic royal curtains

The valet has actually been looking out for me ever since I got to myrtle circle, that I doubt he even had time to eat he looks really tired and exhausted the least I can do for him is to ask if he wants to grab dinner or something.I grab the classic hot water flask he filled with hot water and I make my way to the sitting area, I had been lying in bed for quite a while now and I really need to stretch

"do you want to grab dinner or something?"I inquired while carefully supporting my tummy with the hot water flask, the fact that I am wearing a crop top make it much more comfortable as I sit on an arm chair adjacent to the love seat

"what would you like to eat?"he asked me directly

wow.......this valet is one of those people in the selfless zone I thought

"well am not so picky with my food, I just need it to be delicious and interesting because I don't do boring food.....so I guess I should be able to make do with whatever you order so when you are ordering please order for two"I replied smiling

The valet furrows his brows,I guess he is still trying to figure out how a food can be boring or interesting and I chuckle at that

"I need to freshen up so you can just go ahead and do your thing I will help myself when I am done"I continue

"its okay....I will be right here in case you need anything you can just call on me"the valet finally replies

I don't really trust people with my food, it is one of the things that makes me happy but I guess I can give this valet a benefit of doubt he looks like the type with exotic taste.......I just hope I don't get dissapointed I thought as I make my way to the room

I feel really relived now, and am sure any time soon hunger pangs will set in, its a relieve that I don't have to worry about that since the valet is ordering room service for me, I close the door leading to my room locking it and drapping the royal cream and chocolate brown patterned curtain over the transparent glass doors

I read from an article that exercises and stretches helps with cramps but the kind of pain that envelopes me makes me cramp myself in bed without the will to move around so I use this opportunity to walk around my room to get familiar with my new environment.

There is something that draws me to nature so I observe the view out of the window, there is an iconic view of jade from my room and staring outside and admiring the scenery makes me feel so much at peace

I stare at this amazing view for a while before walking around my room to appreciate the beauty of the chocolate brown and milk I interior of the room, my bed is a big and comfy king sized bed with white linen and chocolate brown duvet, the bed is decorated with different sizes of throw pillows.

There is a mini bar in the room with drinks, snacks and glasses.it also has a coffee maker and coffee service equipments.This room has a really nice working area in front of the window, it comes with binoculars, a map that is more like a self help menu

The sitting area is demarcated from the main room via transparent glass doors, there is a luggage storage in the room, a basic closet with good closet space, there is also an additional closet space with a safe lock and some drawers.

I feel really exhausted and I need to freshen up to calm my nerves so I make my way to the bathroom.The bathroom is really luxurious with a beautiful laundry basket added to the shelf, a super fancy total wash let toiler with a fancy Japanese toilet sit washing and drying different parts of your body depending in what you set it as, a land line hanging on the marble wall with a note pad beneath it in case u want to take notes.

There is also a huge shower space,Ara in shower on too and another on the wall, there is a hidden towel rack behind the cabinet.There is a beautiful deep soak tube with a basket across the tub housing bathing essentials.

I would have loved to shower, but I don't have that kind of energy so I go for the bath tub,I soak myself in the hot tub for quite a while allowing the hot water to work it wonders on my skin which is so nice and comforting that I even dozed off In the bath tub,I don't know how long I was there but by the time I opened my eyes,the hot water in the tub has turned cold.I get out of the bath tub and wrap myself in a white fluffy bathrobe and bunny flip flops before making my way to the room

I start drying my had when I heard pretty girl by Maggie linderman playing in the background I started vibeing to the song when before it occurred to me I wasn't playing any song and instead it is my phone that is ringing.I rush to the bed to fish out my phone from the side bag but before I got there I already missed the call

I picked up my shinning black iPhone 12 to see 14 missed calls from my mom,I don't know how I missed her calls, she has been calling me for the past three to four hours and one thing am sure of is that she is already freaking out.

I start dialing my moms number, and she didnt even allow the phone to ring for long before she picks up her phone.I don't need to be told that my mom will keep ranting till she is satisfied and she doesn't disappoint me she starts ranting on and on about how she has been worried about me.....blah blah blah we talk for about 20 minutes before she finally decides to let go after I told her I have orientation to attend the next day.

I pull my sky blue pyjamas over my head, opening my room door to have my dinner when I saw a figure lying with his head rested on the love seat...initially I was shocked because I wasn't expecting it I go closer to see the valet peacefully sleeping.I assumed he left already, I didn't expect him to still be around.

I go to my room to get a blanket for him,he has done a lot for me today he deserves to be in the comfort of this bed having a goodnight sleep and not sleeping while sleeping on a love seat.I go closer to study is face,he has long eye lashes, carved eye brows he looks extremely peaceful when sleeping......he has what I call a billion dollar face.I just met him today and he feels oddly familiar to me I guess its because he took care of me since thats the only explanation I can give myself for this odd familiarity feeling.

I later settle for dinner its a simple Dish, glazed chicken and chips ,I guess this is what I really need I moaned as I savored the taste of the chicken and crunchy chips I get a bottle of wine from I room because I really need to spoil myself this night considering how much I have suffered today, I finished my food and start walking around.

I wasn't able to fall asleep so I started walking around,i went over to the working area,picked up phone, checked my mails did my assignment from my online class I finished around 2am in the worming before forcing myself to retire to bed,I have a lot to do tomorrow
