Maturing

Chapter 4

"Sock. It's morning. You need to get up and ready for the big day." A sexy voice wakes me and is the only reason I open my eyes. Jason is kneeling on the ground at eye level. I lean over and shock him as I kiss his nose.

"You woke me up. Meanie." I tease. He wrinkles his face at me and stands up, taking both of my hands and pulling me up. Holding my hand, he leads me to the door, holding it open for me to pass through. We walk through a snow white corridor and Jason stops at a door I hadn't even noticed, it blends in with the wall so well. Reaching in, he pulls out a bright purple dress that he hands to me. Unfolding it, I find the dress is covered in fine embroidery. It's stunning.

"Where did you find something so beautiful?" I exclaim. It's gorgeous.

"Trade secret. I saw it and instantly knew it was perfect for you. You deserve something as gorgeous as yourself." I blush at his words. He knows how to make me fall in love with him. Even more than I already am. I follow him down the hall and to the bathroom.

"Grab a shower, get ready for the day, and when you're done press the blue button by the door." He turns and walks away. I stare at his retreating form in admiration. Pushing open the bathroom door, I'm shocked by how nice it is inside. There are stalls, showers, sinks with new toothbrushes and toothpaste. There are flowers, perfumes, makeup. Everything that makes a bathroom a bathroom.

I strip off my hospital clothes and quickly duck into the shower. The warm water beats against my sore back, easing my muscles. I'm starting to miss my apartment. Everything is changing so fast and I miss the familiarity of my home. I miss my bright blue walls and fuzzy carpeting. Here in the hospital everything is white and cold. The floor is a stone tiling and the walls are plaster. Maybe I should stay in the city. I know what life is here.

As I finish washing both me and my hair, I rinse off and stop the water. I wrap a fuzzy white towel around me and move to the sink to blow-dry my hair. Within minutes my hair is dry and brushed out. I switch into the purple dress. Checking drawers, I pull out hair ties and bobby pins, pulling my hair into a fancy bun. I use dark purple eyeliner and light purple eye shadow to do my makeup, keeping it simple. I use some good smelling deodorant and perfume and I'm done. I press the blue button and take a seat. Choosing time is almost here.

So pretty short chapter. It's a build up though. Setting the scene :) Fallen in love with Jason and Saku yet? What do you think will happen? What will Saku choose? Keep reading to find out! And don't forget to comment and vote. Thank you to my readers!
