Alpha's Rebellious Mate

Chapter 23: Numerous thoughts

After dinner, Rofus immediately disappeared from our sight. I didn't even choose to ask Nikita where he went. She might think that I am so interested in his details, which is quite true as he looks mysterious to me. After we ate, the maidservant brought and accompanied us to the room where we were going to sleep. It was on the second floor of the mansion. While heading there, I couldn't stop admiring the beauty of all the decorations, which, even though they appeared antique and old, were fascinating to my eyes. From the large window of the room, made of expensive thick glass, I can see the wide yard of the mansion with many trees. I don't know, but watching them silently, I feel like I'm right inside the Forester Woods. Or maybe it's just me who's thinking about that?

"What are you still doing there? You should change your clothes, and let's go to bed. We're leaving early tomorrow."

When I heard Nikita's voice, I looked at her and smiled. She was already lying on the bed. Still holding the bag, I stepped closer to her. I didn't take my eyes off her eyes. I know I am a bit thrilled about this sleepover, as this is my first time.

"Nikita, can I ask you something?"

I turned her while gently sitting in front of her.

"Yes? What is it?"

"Why did you choose to live in a small apartment instead of staying at your cousin's house? This mansion is big enough and has a lot of spare rooms. I bet they don't mind if you stay here with them. It was also near our university."

I knew it was far from her command to change my clothes, but I couldn't stop my curiosity or my mouth from expressing my opinion. If she responded to my questions, that's good; if she didn't, there's no problem. I will not force her anyway. She slowly got up when she heard my question. She silently fixed a strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear. After that, she turned to me and shrugged her shoulders.

"My reason is so simple, Amelia. I want privacy. And I am sure I could get that when I own a small flat."

I respected her answer and did not repeat it again. It was enough for me to hear that. I reached for my bag and took out a pair of my pajama suit.

"How about you, Nikita? Won't you change?"

"Of course, I will change my clothes when you're done. That's why you need to hurry to use the bathroom."

"You did not bring any clothes with you."

"I have a lot of that in the closet." She pointed to a closet that I didn't notice behind me.

I wanted to ask her a lot more, but I chose not to. I just shrugged my shoulders and stood up. I can see a different level of tiredness in her eyes. It looks like she will fall asleep at any moment.

"Okay, I'm just going to the bathroom quickly."

"Hold on, Amelia, do you have a towel with you?"

"No, nothing. I forgot to bring—"

I couldn't even finish what I was going to say when she got up and headed towards the closet. When she opened it, I saw that it was full of different sizes of towels.
