A year with my kidnapper

5

Grunting I rolled over then something in my mind told me this was wrong. Peeking through one of my eyes I saw that I was back in bed in the room

'Wasn't I—?' quickly I sat up looking around as I racked through my brain what happened yesterday. I remember going to Xavier's office, papers, and then going to sleep out of exhaustion. Oh shit, I slept in his office! ON HIS DESK!

A small gasp escaped my lips as I cover my mouth. My brain just rolled through all the things that could have led me to end up here

"There's no way— would he?" I decided to not dwell on it. Pulling the sheets back over my head I went back to sleep. That was before

"EMBER! EMBER GET UP! GET UP! WAKE UUUUPPPPP!" Beatrix came in full blast launching herself on the bed and rocking it while also shaking me to wake up

"What? What is it?!" I asked flipping the sheets over furiously causing her to fall off the bed with a yelp

"We're going shopping!" she proclaimed I looked at her like she just pulled a monkey out of the sky

"We don't have money. How are we going shopping?"

"These" Quin came in leaning against the doorway holding up two golden cards

"What are those?" I asked unimpressed

"Gold cards. Unlimited money. We can buy whatever we want" Beatrix explained shaking me while saying this right in my face

"Alright, alright stop shaking me. You're going to give me whiplash with how much you're shaking me" I joked nudging her off of me

"Get dressed we leave in 20 minutes," Quin said tapping his knuckles on the doorframe and walking away. Beatrix squealed at this

"Ooo we have to get you dressed" she awed as she swung open the closet examining all of the options that were there "Hm what about this?" she asked pulling out a thigh-high golden sparkly dress

"Are we going to a cocktail party or the mall?"

"You're right. Oh what about this one?" this time it was a low-cut black dress that was cut around the boobs so you got sideboob action and also was stretchy but tight

"Move I'll pick something," I said getting up and walking inside looking around at my options. None of this was even my style "Ugh it looks like Taylor Swift and Hannah Montana had a baby in here" I said shuffling through the clothes before finding a black and red checkered flannel with black skinny jeans with combat boots I found in the back of the closet. I put on some light makeup. I heard Beatrix huff

"All those clothes and you pick this?!" she gestured

"Yes and no shit we need to go shopping. There's nothing in there that I would wear" I said finishing up the mascara I grabbed my phone "Let's go" I said as we walked out to Quin who was waiting in the living space looking at his phone. He was wearing a dark red T-shirt with blue jeans his hair was a little messy but styled. When he heard our footsteps he looked up

"Oh wow" his face gave away he was unexpectedly surprised

"Did you expect us to have the same taste in clothes?" I asked sarcastically

"I mean...uh...yes I guess" I rolled my eyes

"Can we get this show on the road already?" I asked when he snapped out of his trance he esthetically lead us outside to the gravel driveway. In the driveway was a red convertible sports car "Oh damn" I muttered

"Nice right?" he got in the driver's side while Beatrix sat shotgun and I was in the back. We drove away from the house and down the road fast. Most of the ride was backroads with the trees beautifully losing their leaves making this drive even more magical than it already was. Eventually, we got to the mall it was unlike anything I had previously thought. This mall was five stories with all the most expensive brands and stores inside with some cute boutiques and a rather large food court.
