The chill breeze that came in through the open patio sent a stinging cold deep into her bones. The smooth silk wrapping her skin didn't help in keeping warm. She tugged and pulled the blankets up over her head, causing the object on top to go falling off with a screech.
Selina sat up with a snap, as if she hadn't expected to hear that noise. Isis* didn't mind being thrown off; cats always landed on their feet anyhow. Selina's cat jumped back up on the bed, rubbing her head up against her mom. Selina lifted her pet up, holding Isis face to face, tenderly smiling at her.
"Why do I feel like I haven't seen you in days?" she pouted.
Maow the cat positively replied.
Selina fell back into her pillow, staring at the ceiling. The effects of her dream still danced on her skin, still setting her nerves on fire. She only credit her ecstasy to that euphoria of a dream, wondering on the possibility of being something more. Resignedly, she tossed her head to the side, to glare at the clock that flashed red digital numbers.
10:00
"Mnh. Time for breakfast." Selina kissed her baby's nose and purposely tossed her onto the floor. Isis snaked over her ankles as they both stretched. The cat leaped on the window sill to lick her fur clean, while her mom went to the bathroom to wash up.
"Selina? Selina!" Jen burst into the apartment as Selina began brushing her teeth.
"In the bathroom!" she announced.
"God you clean up fast!" Jen mumbled as she looked around the room, then shook her thoughts away to focus on the matter at hand.
"Anyway, check out this mail you got."
"<<Read it>>" Selina bubbled through suds.
"You've been commissioned to curate an arts exhibition. The sponsor is highly acquainted with your work and skills, and expects you to be able to acquire the artifacts. Legally, I'm assuming."
Selina snorted.
"It says here you'll be paid...
$25 million a piece!?"
Selina spat out all over the mirror.
"Quarter. Million. A piece? Who's the collector?"
Jen made a face in disgust.
"Bruce Wayne."
Selina cocked a brow as she dragged a towel down her face.
"Who the hell's Bruce Wayne?"
