"Still, I would have liked to know", I say firmly.
Yes mother", Daymon laughs.
"Alright kids, passed your bed time", Olivia laughs at her joke. "You both need some sleep, it's been a long day for everyone and we have a lot of things to talk about tomarrow". She stands up and starts to walk towards her room. "Daymon will show you your room, Malerie", she calls over her shoulder.
Daymon and I are left alone. Somehow that excites me and scares me.
"Well, shall we?", Daymon gets up from the couch.
I follow him up the stairs until we reach the end of a hallway that holds only two rooms. The doors are across from eachother and are a dark wood with silver handles.
"This is your room for now", Daymon opens the door for me.
Inside is a master bedroom. A four poster bed is in one corner, with two nightstands on either side of the bed. A large mirror above a dresser that reaches my mid thigh on the opossite wall. The walls are a light blue with dark wood floors that match my door. All furniture is white, there's even a white, fuzzy rug in the middle of the room.
"It's beautiful!", I say, standing in the doorway.
"Fit for a princess, don't you think?", Daymon whispers, standing a little closer to me than usual.
"Yeah, I guess", I reply slowly, looking up at him.
Daymon scoots closer to me, pushing me against the door frame. He leans in and I take a sharp breath, my heart beating fast.
"Goodnight", he says. Daymon is so close I can feel his smile against my cheek and hear the faint sound of a laugh. With that, he turns around and walks down the hallways.
"Goodnight", I whisper, letting out a breath I was holding in.
Sliding into my room I turn away from the door frame and close the door slowly. I'm so tired I collapse onto the soft blue bedding and don't bother to take off my clothes. Glancing at the silver clock resting on the nightstand, it reads 11:47.
I got up and turned out the lights then got under my covers. I fell asleep right away.
