Chapter 2
After finishing unpacking my suitcases and putting away my things, I decide to go down to see Jo'. I left my room closing the door behind me, and went to the stairs. Now I remember, I haven't explored the house yet. Why not do it now?
I'll begin with the second floor, since I'm already here. Okay so as you enter the first room, you can see on the left a small kitchenette with some seats.
The second one is Jo's bedroom. The third is mine. The forth is another bedroom it should be for the guests.
On the right, there are also five rooms. The first is a living room, with a TV and video games. The second is a huge bathroom. The third is a library.
And the forth.... Wohh! It isn't opening. Jo' must have locked it. But why? What's behind that door? I can ask Jo' later...
Now I have to concentrate on memorizing the house. I went down stairs. Here, there is a kitchen, another living room, a salon, two bathrooms and a bedroom.
Jo' isn't here...
Maybe she went out to bring something. I sat in the living room, turned on the TV and flipped through the channels.
I heard the sound of the door being closed. I think it's Jo' who came back.
"Jo' is it you?" I shouted.
"Yeah honey. Do you want to eat? Dinner is ready." She replies when she came next to me.
"Yes I'm hungry. What have you prepared?" I asked her while going to the kitchen. "you'll see" she replies,
She turns on the fire under the pot. It smells awfully good. Once the meal heated, she serves me some.
"It's a tradition here. Isn't it delicious?" She says to me.
"Yeah! Thank you Joanne. You're really a good cook." I complement her.
"Tomorrow, we will begin our day by visiting the castle, the park. Then we will buy you a dress and a mask for the night. What do you think of the program?"
"It's awesome."
And we chatted along the dinner.

"Alex, Alex! Darling? Wake up. We have to go after 30 minutes if we want to do all the things we planned yesterday." A voice whispers to me while caressing me. I immediately recognize it.
"Mmm, I'll be ready at time." I say in a sleepy voice.
I want to sleep! I was dreaming a nice dream... what was it about? Shit, I already forgot it!
I get out of bed and go down stairs to eat something. I'm very hungry.
"Jo'! Good morning" I salute her with a big smile.
"Good morning sweetheart. How did you sleep?" is her reply.
"Like a baby. The bed is really comfortable." I tell her while making a sandwich. She nods in agreement.
After finishing eating and talking nonsense with Jo', I return to my bedroom to prepare myself.
What should I wear?
Should I wear this or this? No, no, maybe this?
After few minutes of debating with myself, I finally choose a yellow t-shirt with jeans.
Once done, I took my cell phone and go down to meet Jo'.
"You finished?" she asks.
"Yes!" I admit gladly. "Okay!
