Broken Reflections

Chapter 16

I groan as I sit up, pushing the hair out of my face. I yawn and rub the sleep away from my eyes. I wash my face and brush my teeth.

I get out of my room still wearing my pyjamas, the apartment is empty.

Is he still sleeping?
Should I go in his bedroom and check?

I reluctantly walk towards his bedroom and knock.
Nothing.

I turn the door knob and peek inside. It's empty and messy as hell. Clothes everywhere. I spot a beer can in the corner of the room.

Is he an animal or what?
I enter his washroom, it's empty too. The cleaning staff would come and clean this mess.

But the question is where is he? I wonder as I come back into the living room. My stomach growls.
Eating is more important right now.

I wonder should I take a shower first or eat something? My stomach growls again. Let's go in the kitchen.

I enter the kitchen and turn on the lights.
Should I cook or the food will come?

I come back to the living room again and find a intercom there by the elevator.
Let's order some breakfast then.

I order breakfast for myself. After about ten minutes the elevator door opens and the man who welcomed us walks in with my breakfast.

"Good morning, Miss Francis" He smiles at me.

"Good morning, what's your name?"

"Adam" he places the breakfast tray on the coffee table by the couch. "Here is your breakfast you ordered"

"Thanks and umm..do you know where Devin is?"

"Mr. Keller left an hour ago" he replies.

Where the hell did he go?

My mind wonders the places he must've gone.
"Did he tell you where he's going?"

"It's against my job to question residents" he awkwardly smiles.

"Oh yeah. Umm thanks then." I nod.

"Enjoy the breakfast" he says and leaves.

I take my phone and call Devin.

How can he just leave like that?

He doesn't pick up.
I don't know what I was expecting.
Fine.

I eat my pancakes and fruits. If he's gone without a word then I'll do the same.

I know I don't know a thing about Italy, except its capital.
Whatever I will just use google maps.

What about language?
That's a problem but I will go out anyway because I want to.

I want to explore some places of this country he's so attached to.
