Chapter X: Just one more of the bunch?

"Hundreds of hells and I came to fall into yours...". -Lucio Hernández.

After that perfect night full of passion, I wake up without even opening my eyes, as I want to dream and remember for a second time that exciting scene.

A few hours ago, the unceasing heat of our bodies ended up in one covering the other. It was the very same flame that unleashed this lustful meeting.

I was remembering how I answered to all of his pleasant caress, thinking about his mouth. The way he went down all my body with his tongue drives me crazy. It turns me on and makes me want to ask him to get inside of me again.

I open my eyes to look for my perfect lover and tempt him so he can make me of his own, over and over again. But now I find the ungrateful surprise of me being alone in this enormous bed.

Ethan is not here with me, and I don't want to rush the facts of thinking that last night was just a simple game for him.

I gather strength to not let my thoughts and emotions even question the air that I'm breathing. Seriously, I don't want to fall into some absurd existential crisis caused by my insecurities.

━Come on, Kailey! Nothing's wrong -I say after a long sigh.

I get up to make my bed, but the knocking of someone at the door redirects my attention to it.

━Miss Kailey -A woman's voice exclaims behind the bolt's room.

I almost jump to open the door...

━Good morning, Mrs. Clarence! How are you feeling today? -I give her a friendly smile.

━Excellent! I hope you are also feeling well. -she answers me with the same kindness that I used to talk to her-. Mr. Ethan asked me to give you this, miss -She puts on my hands a big boutique bag with the letters "CH".

I take the package, a bit confused.

━Thank you, Mrs. Clarence, but...would you tell me... what does Mr. Ethan want me to do with this? -I ask in a sarcastic tone.

━It's a gift from him. In fact, we both thought it was fair and necessary to buy you some new clothes. Yours were bathed in blood caused by the events from last night, and I don't really think you'd want to go outside the house wearing a little baby doll- she releases a little friendly smile.

Touché!

━Well, I also suspect I don't have any choice but to accept it. -I return the smile at her-. By the way, Mrs. Clarence, Is Mr. Ethan in the house?

Mrs. Clarence bows her head, trying to avoid visual contact with me.

Oh no, I've seen that expression before!

━He had to leave, Miss Kailey. There were some errands he had to take care of earlier. By the way, if you excuse me...I must retire to my duties in just a moment -she makes a little reverence, and without even waiting for my answer, she leaves.

In a matter of seconds, apocalyptic thoughts start attacking me again.

Ethan "had to leave earlier". I don't know the reason or circumstance, but I have a feeling that that phrase is hiding a "he used you and left you".

Yes! It's very likely that that's what he did...

Without extending the matter anymore, I start to look the bag's interior. There was a precious informal dress with long sleeves. It was pale pink and has small and delicate crochet embroidery at the chest's height. Also, at the end of the wrapper, there are some subtle and gorgeous sandals matching the dress' color. Everything is accompanied by a little card with my name in italics.
