III
I open my eyes, and it seems that I have just closed them. The sun shines over the bed, and a beautiful ocean paints the window of the blue room. I notice that I am in the same position as I was last night, and I can't remember dreaming. A good night's sleep is almost impossible for me, but I hear voices, and I am sure that I woke up because of them.
Angry screams can be heard all over, and it hits the walls of the "doll room", the guest room of Thomas' apartment. Cold blankets are wrapped around my body, and they hide underneath my legs. My brain is back to work, my body reacts slowly to the screams, and I sit on the bed, a bit clumsy. My eyes squeeze, avoiding the light. The last memories of yesterday were sitting on the bed, dazed, wondering what I did to deserve this karma called Thomas Mai after sending a goodnight message to Sam, lay down comfortably to sleep. I probably fell asleep after that.
Another dull screaming scares me, and the adrenaline wakes me up even more. I jump off the bed without knowing what to do. Am I going crazy? Everything looks airy-fairy. I stagger toward the door, and follow the voices down the hall, I walk unsteadily, making noises on the wooden floor. The voices take me to the entrance of Thomas' office, that is locked this time.
"You're sleeping with her, aren't you?" I can hear a female voice coming out of the room.
"Could you calm down, please? I'm not sleeping with anyone! Our agreement required loyalty, and I would never break this, but I can't say the same about you!" Thomas' voice comes out in a murder tone.
I don't need to be a genius to figure out who is on the other side of the door. Jenifer, "the ex" is having it out with Thomas and, apparently, he is not reacting well to it.
"Why are you so defensive? IS SHE HERE, THOMAS!?" Jenifer yells, and my ears almost explode.
I hear a bustle in the office. Loud steps make cadenced noises, and they become louder each step. My eyes pop out when I realize they are coming toward the door.
What do I do now?, I get muddled. I need to get out of here!
"I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S HERE! YOU NEVER LET ME STAY!"
I start running back to the room, and it's when I notice that I am wearing a short silk nightdress. Oh, shit!
"Jenifer, get a grip!"
"Where's that slut?"
I go back to the room, close the door carefully, and I hear the voices coming out of the hall. My heart starts beating faster, and I feel like laughing. What a perfect moment for this, Sarah. I get ready for the time when Jenifer will break down the door room in a flying kick, but this time she won't catch me off guard. I'm going to find out if the money spent on a year of self-defense lessons was a good investment. After the attack, the least I could do was learning to protect myself. Nobody will ever hurt me, not before having a fight. Where the hell I let myself in?
