The Fates

Part LXXI: Ambrogio

I was yawning. And stretching out my arms. Marcus' shoulder was cradling my head. He smooched my cheek. I smiled tiredly.
He had laid me on the bed. I clung to him.

"Makayla, why don't you rest now? Tomorrow is going to be an awfully long day."
I nodded.

"Then why don't you change? The clothes you have can be cleaned."
"Hmmmm...."

"Yes," he said.
He pulled me up. I swayed on my feet and yawned.
"Where can I get pyjamas?"I asked.

He gestured to the cupboards. I walked to the right of the room and saw many clothes. All size 12. I smiled.

"These tops are all my size. And I love the sweaters...very chic!"

He smirked.
"I'm glad you like them. Take them as gifts."
I was so ecstatic but I couldn't even see any nightwear.

"I can't see any pyjamas."

"Ok, they in the bathroom?"
He nodded.

"On the counter in front of the mirror. "
I padded to the bathroom, outside the guestroom we were provided with.

The only good part was that vampires do not need to use the bathroom so I had ample privacy,despite there being only one bathroom in the house.

I took a big, brown gift box from the counter. I swept back my orange bob. I pouted before dancing in the mirror.

I then opened the box and my eyes were humongous.
"What is this?" I said to myself.

There was this bright yellow lingerie and a gold nightgown.

I disrobed from my previous clothes and put on the undearwear and the gown. What the heck? Why was I bothering to wear this?

What was Marcus thinking of, when he bought this?"

I stomped back to the bedroom and found Marcus reading a magazine.
"Marcus is there something you want?"

He turned a page.
"No, I don't want anything. What gave you that notion?"

I tapped my foot,my hands on my hips.
"I don't know, but I had the distinct impression you did after opening the box you left in the bathroom. "

He frowned.
"Box? You did not see a set of white pyjamas?
"No I found a brown, rectangular box and it had this!"

He gazed up and he dropped his magazine. His mouth was open and his eyes wide. His brows arched.

The gold kimono I wore was a wide V-neck, which showed my round, fleshy cleavage encased in the pineapple balconette bra. The silk gown covered only my upper thighs. I was sure some of my butt was sticking out.

I feared turning around.
"I didn't purchase those. Kate was kind enough to do so, for you."

He swallowed. I raised a brow and held my hips.
"Really?" I said.
Why such kindness?

"She asked for your size, I did not understand why then."
I'm sure the answer was as bright as the sun for him now.

He bit his lip.
"You look beautiful."
I crossed my arms. I cleared my throat.

"Kate has good taste. Yellow is a tasteful colour on you."

"Oh...uh...those pyjamas you got aren't here?" I said.
He disappeared as I blinked. Huh? I blinked three times and he returned.

"Did you just move?"
"Yes, it must have taken you four winks to see I was gone."
His hands were empty though.

"I think Kate replaced my clothing articles with hers. It's late but I'll speak to her about it. It is a nice outfit but a poor choice for weather like this."
