ABANDONED

Chapter 40

 The following day, I woke up and sat up in the bed. I closed my eyes as I remembered that I was in Chloe's room. I turned to my side to see her.

I saw her by my side in the bed and tapped her.

"Good morning sleeping beauty," I said and she moved on the bed.

I got up from the bed and walked to the window in her room and pulled up the curtain.

"Please do pull it down," Chloe said, closing her eyes tight as she sat up in the bed.

"I am sorry," I said, remembering what she told me the last day.

As I was about to pull down the curtain, a light hit my face and I fell to the ground.

"Chloe!" I called getting up from the ground.

I immediately pulled the curtain down and ran to the bed.

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked, seeing my eyes tightly closed.

"I was struck by a light as I wanted to pull down the curtain," I said.

Chloe placed her hand on me, moving me a bit.

"Yes, I know why that happened to you," Chloe said, and I looked up.

"Why?" I asked.

"Do open your eyes first." She said, and I opened my eyes.

I looked around the room and smiled as I could see everything clearly even though the room was dark, then I looked at Chloe.

"Why did that happen?" I asked.

"There is a capacity of light our eyes can take. I do most of the things I do at night and early in the day because I would rather not be affected by the light from the sun." Chloe said, and I nodded, remembering that we went out quick early on the last day.

"You are right," I said.

"Yes." She said, and I looked at her.

Chloe looked at me and smiled.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Chloe asked, seeing me still staring at her, and I nodded.

"I do have," I said.

"You can go on," Chloe said.

"You stay out sometimes in the afternoon when the sun is shining, but I don't understand what you are saying now," I said and Chloe smiled.

"Anytime I am out in the sun, I always have a shade on," Chloe said and I nodded.

"That's right," I said. "But where's your shade now?"

Chloe got up from the bed and walked to a bowl, then she brought out her shade from the bowl.

"Here it is." She said raising the shade, so I could see it and I smiled.

"Where did you get it from?" I asked.

"From Jane." She said.

"Okay," I said. "I think I would also like to get one."

"It would be good for you," Chloe said and I nodded.

"But how do I approach her?" I asked.

Chloe walked to me and looked into my eyes.

"Miss Jane, I think I need a sunshade as the sun is penetrating deep into my eyes," Chloe said, then smiled.

She jumped on the bed and sat on it.

"Wow, that's great," I said, then looked at Chloe.

"What if winter comes?" I asked Chloe.

"Then we would freely move around," Chloe said then sighed looking at me.

"We have two missions to start today," Chloe said and I looked at her.

"We are going to start with the Attack," I said and she nodded her head.

"What else?" She asked, and I placed my hand on my jaw thinking of what our second mission was.

"What is our second mission?" I asked her, as I didn't remember what our second mission was.

"We are to make Miss Jane forget about what happened yesterday." She said and I nodded my head smiling.

"Yes, we have to," I said.

"So now we should get ready for the first mission," Chloe said and I giggled.

"You should first go take your bath," Chloe said and I nodded.

I ran to my room and immediately walked into the bathroom. I took my bath and walked out of the bathroom some minutes later.

Not only that, but I took out a short gown and put it on, then dried my hair. Furthermore, I walked out of the room minutes later and met Chloe standing by my door side. She had a smile plastered on her face.

"Why the smile?" I asked her.

Chloe walked past me into the room and fell on my bed.

"You didn't pull up your curtain," Chloe said and I smiled.

"I guess I can now see clearly in the dark," I said.

Chloe sat up in the bed and looked at me. She had her shade on.

"Shall we?" She asked, pointing to the door.

"Don't you think that I would be affected if I go out now?" I asked and Chloe smiled.

She dropped a shade on the bed with a long gown.

"Do put this on." She said and I nodded.

I picked up the shade and smiled, placing it on my chest.

"Where did you get the shade from?" I asked.

"I got it from Miss Jane." She answered.

"How and why?" I asked.

"I decided to surprise you, so I went to ask for it from Miss Jane." She replied.

"Wow, you are wonderful," I said to her, smiling.

I picked up the long gown which she had dropped on the bed.

"Whose gown is this?" I asked.

"The gown is mine, but I would love to give you the gown." She said, then looked at me.

"You don't wear short gowns during the summer period as the sun can affect the skin." She said.

I smiled looking at her as I wondered how she got so much knowledge as she wasn't taught by anyone.

"I learned this myself." She said and I nodded.

"Alright," I said.

"We only wear short gowns during winter." She added and I nodded.

I took another look at the long gown then stood up, took off the short gown I had on, and wore the long gown.

I also wore the shade and then moved out with her.

She had a medium-sized gown with a big pair of jean trousers on, and I adored her dress.
