Deception

{4} Aria

Sleep didn't come easy to me it never has since I got married.

After Romeo went , I took the clothes he sent for me and went for a shower it felt good, warm water on my skin made my muscles relax I wish time could just stop, me under this shower right now I felt at peace for the first time since I ran away.
After the shower I stood in front  of the mirror looking at my reflection, my long curly brown hair damp, my eyes lifeless with dark circles underneath them, I'm collarbone so deep, I've lost so much weight.

I though the bruise above my hipbone it's dark purple and I remember what happened 5 nights ago, Luis.

Shaking the memories off of me I pick up the clothes and wear them. It's a oversized sweat shirt with baggy sweat pants. Perfect, there so soft and comfortable. I get out of the bathroom and get into bed, everything seemed nice right now that shower made my whole body and mind relax. And finally I drift off into a sleep.

"No please don't, I beg you I'm so-sorry " I keep begging, pleading. He didn't stop he picked up his belt and hit me ,*smack* * smack*
"I'm sorry Luis" he didn't stop I didn't mean to , the glass accidentally slipped out of my hands, I didn't mean to.
"You're sorry, you're fucking sorry ARIA , that glass you just broke COST ME THOUSAND , it was real fucking crystal, and you just ruined the whole set"
"Please I'm sorry please"
"Please stop"
"I beg you"
"Pleaseee stop"

"Aria wake up"
I heard a distant voice
"Wake up"
I felt my body shivering and shaking and I kept hearing the distant voice.

"Aria"

I jolt up shaking, my heart beating fast, I'm sweating my eyes are teary. And look in-front of me and see Romeo standing above me with a worried expression on his face. He looks so different so human right now. He looks like a person who is actual concerned, and he's wearing shorts and a button up shirt with all the buttons open.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you worried"
Why was I being kind he held me hostage he was stopping me from my freedom.

"I'm not worried ,except you woke the whole house up with your fucking screams" he looks pissed of now ,he has his walls up again,  the emotion he was showing just a few seconds ago is gone and now he's back to being a monster.

I look away I'm angry , angry at him for thinking that i want to relive what I've gone through, that I have control on what I dream.

"It's not in my hands of what I dream or what comes in my dreams" I say it with hate I say it while clenching my teeth so hard,  stopping myself from shouting at him.

"She speaks up nice go back to sleep like I said be up bright and early" with that he went out slamming the door behind him I shook to the sound of the door slamming. 

After that encounter and that freaking nightmare I couldn't sleep and was up again until after 4 hours the same women who came in my room to give me food came, it was 7am she had a uniform type of clothes in her hand

"Good morning I'm Elenor I'm the caretaker and housekeeper for sir Romeo, you must be aria nice to finally have an introduction."
She says with a home full smile and sweet expression she would have been the age of my mother, if she was alive.

"Good morning Elenor, nice to meet you too,
properly." I say with as much enthusiasm I have left in me.

"We'll aria I'm here for your first day of work. Sir thought it would be useless for a young girl like you to sit and sulk all day in her room so why don't you help me around in the house."

I smile "of course" how could I decline her she was literally so cute and kind.

"These are your clothes to work around with me I'll make sure you have fun I'll keep you entertained and of course so will my daughter she's around your age maybe younger may I ask what your age is" she said while putting my clothes on the bed, adding toiletries in the bathroom, chasing the towel and hanging a new one.

"I'm 21 and thank you for being so kind"
I said it with my heart it's been months years since someone been this nice to me and I craved this affection so much.

"Oh darling of course don't be thankful for that and your welcome to come to my quarter whenever you feel like and I'm sure you and Lilian will be great friends."
