Aesira

I moved slightly just to be wrappers tighter in Damon's arms. I pushed my face deeper into his chest inhaling his rich scent. His hand rubbed my back soothingly before he kissed the side of my face and slowly moved away.

Dissatisfaction filled me as he parted away from me. I felt colder. My eyes were about to open and I started to move until I felt a soft kiss on my forehead. "Shhh, go back to sleep I have to do some work" Damon pulled up the duvet that had fallen to my waist and tucked it in by my neck. The warmth took over me.

My body feeling the need to obey him and the need for sleep I fell into a deep slumber the moment those words left his lips.

Darkness.

I flipped my body over onto the left side of the bed, coldness hit my body, a refreshing coldness my body was hot and sweaty under the thick blanket but it was the most comfortable thing in the world, I felt like I was wrapped in clouds. My eyes opened as I realized I flipped onto the empty side where Damon had been.

I let out a long yawn as my body unconsciously started to stretch. I felt like jello as my body relaxed against the now warm bed. I turned my head to look across the vacant room, it was silent but the slight buzzing of the fan beside the bed was comforting.

There was usually a fan or some sort of noise in the room whenever Damon slept. I never understood the need for noise when you sleep but I started to become quite used to it that falling asleep in the silence started to annoy me. Damon didn't snore but the deep breaths he let out during his sleep were one of the comforting noises I became to enjoy.

Taking a couple of minutes to regain the strength in my body I lay, looking out at the city view. The sun had already risen and it looked mid-day. My eyes widen and I lifted myself quicker than I could blink. I started to look for a clock or anything that could tell me the time. My eyes land on his side table where a small black timepiece sat. The red numbers made me curse loudly.

"Two-thirty? Fuck" I started to pace around the room looking for the uniform I had left. The room was spotless and not one thing was laid out of place including my uniform, it was gone.

I pulled down the large shirt preparing to walk out of his room but rolled my eyes realizing my legs were bare. I quickly rushed into his closet and as fast as I walked in I froze. "Holy" I breathed out. I slowly walked across the large room admiring all of the clothes he had. But still not nearly enough to cover the whole walk-in. The right side was completely bare, no watches, ties, or clothes were hung. They are all perfectly laid on the left side. This closet was made for two people.

"What am I doing" I scolded myself and grabbed a pair of his joggers. While hopping my way out I started to slip on the pants. "Shit" I swore, almost falling over. I tied the strings around my waist tightly and folded the bottoms before running out of the closet and room.

"Oh good morning Ms. Frey" my steps hauled as a woman came into view. She wore an apron and held a bucket of cleaning supplies in her hand. "I'm Emma, Mr. Perez' cleaner"

"Aesira" I nodded to her. "Have you by any chance seen my uniform?" I asked her slowly wrapping my arms around my torso.

"Oh yes, I cleaned Mr. Perez' room while you were sleeping this morning -he assured me that you were a heavy sleeper and would not awake- but I gave your uniform to my partner who went to wash all the dirty clothes" a big toothy grin never left her face as she spoke. I felt my heart drop.

"Where is Da-Mr. Perez?- I must leave for work" I started to walk away towards his office.

"Oh, he is not here at the moment. He had some important business to attend to but he informed me that your shift is covered and to tell you to get some rest." my eyes popped out of my head and I turned to face her as she walked to the kitchen.
