The Stay (ON HOLD FOR NOW)

Chapter 17

Happy Thanksgiving!!! (for those who celebrate and if you don't I happy to see you here anyway). Here's the chapter of the stay I promised over a month ago. Tbh I'm thinking about discontinuing this story and possibly rewriting it. I don't like where it's going and I don't have any motivation to finish it. We'll see though it's still a thought in the back of my mind. Well I'll let you get to reading you've been waiting long enough.

I stood there nervously looking in the mirror. I don't know why I was so nervous about tonight, I'm the one that asked to go on a date. We weren't going anywhere outside of this beautiful prison for the date, it would be here in the dining room. I was wearing a white button up shirt and a pair of dress pants. No shoes because I didn’t need them, so I was wearing black socks instead. There was a knock at the bedroom door that grabbed my attention. I made my way over to the door from the bathroom, but before I could get there the door swung open. “Carson!!!” Carrot yells out running into the room. “I have something for you!!!” Carrot frantically looked around the room before finding me near the bathroom. “Oh there you are” she calmly stated “here this is for you”. She handed me a red rose head pin. 

I looked at her a little confused. Carrot gently took the pin from me and placed it on my right pec. “See it goes here” she stated “now you’re ready. Come on, I'll walk you down” I took Carrot's hand and let her lead me downstairs. Once we got downstairs and closer to the dining room I began to notice a rose petal trail. Entering the dining room the lights were dim and there were fake candles helping to set the mood. Instead of the long rectangle table that’s usually there, there was a smaller square table that could fit four. Well in this case three. The first person I saw was Sebastian. His hair was in a slick man bun pulled to the back of his head. He was wearing a black button up shirt with a white rose pin on his pec. 

To the right was Keegan. His under eyes were lined with black eyeliner and on his eyelid there was gold glitter. Keegan’s shirt was red and he had a black rose pin. “Wait a second Carrot did you coordinate all of us-” I was cut off by Carrot pushing me into the room and shutting the door behind me. “Okay have a nice date bye bye” she yelled before closing the door. I got off the floor and sat in my seat. “You look very handsome this evening Carson” Sebastian stated. I thanked him and blushed a little. There was a knock at the door before someone entered. It was Zion wearing a black butler suit with white gloves on. He came in pushing a drink cart. I was trying my best not to laugh but let out a snicker. 

“The fuck are you laughing at!?!?!” Zion snapped “I mean here are your drinks for the evening gentlemen, your meal will be out shortly” after he said that he wheeled the cart out without another word. Sebastian stood up and grabbed the wine from the cart. “Would you like some wine?” Sebastian asked. Keegan said yes right away, not giving anyone a chance to say anything. Sebastian poured Keegan a glass. “You too Tiger?” he asked, holding the bottle towards me. I politely said yes and watched as he poured me a glass.  He poured himself a glass then sat back down at the table. “So Carson, how have you been adjusting to the new house?” Sebastian asked me. “I’ve been adjusting well” I answered “sometimes I get lost but that’s okay”. 

Keegan snickered and stated that he used to get lost too. “How long did it take you to get accustomed to the place?” I asked Keegan, taking a sip from my glass. “A little over three months,” he answered. I nodded and took another sip of wine. “Well I’m glad that you’re happy here” Sebastian stated, swirling his wine in his glass. “Who said I was happy?” I shot back, making Sebastian set his wine glass down. “You’re not happy?” he asked “what can I do to make you happy?” I finished off my glass of wine before asking for another. Sebastian got up and poured me one right away. Once he sat back down I spoke. “I was just fine where I was. I agreed to come with you guys on this vacation, but what I didn’t agree to is getting kidnapped”
