Obnoxious Oxygen

Chapter Eleven

I woke up with the sound of the waves crawling gently to the shore. Two huge wooden hinged windows were open, letting in the onshore breeze. It gives me a view of what paradise outside has to offer.

I couldn't resist the urge to go near the window, so I crawled off the soft sheets over the huge bed. Barefooted on the wooden floor, I stalked towards the window and had let the air take my hair everywhere. I made a soft chuckling sound though it didn't beat the music made by the ocean waves.

The windswept vicinity is empty, must be a private property. I can't help but admire the beauty under the sun. The dreamy sea was its own master. The beach was moon-glow gold. I can't remember when was the last time I wake up in a morning as beautiful as this.

Thought hit me, I turned my gaze back to the whole room finished with woods. I wasn't supposed to be here, I can't remember I had my feet climb the stairs to get my ass up here. The last thing I had in my head was when I'm sitting on the couch watching Oxygen dozed off to sleep serenely. He must be the one to carry me up here, well I couldn't think of anyone else. Since we came here, I had seen no one. So I doubt if someone is with us. Not a help, a caretaker or the likes.

I stepped around the room and I smiled, I loved how my feet touches the smooth and clean wood of the flooring. Aside from the queen-sized wooden four-poster bed in the middle of the room, covered with white sheets and the two wooden table on both sides where two custom half shade lamp sits, nothing else was there. No frames and stuff, I have made a conclusion in my head that Oxygen isn't a fan of picture frames. I remember him telling me that photography was his frustration, he loves photos but then frame is another thing.

I walked up to where I suppose was the bathroom, I pushed the door open and unlike the bedroom, it was marble floor. I like how the place seems simple but classy.

God is great to have given me water coming out from the faucet, I was silently praying that there is as I got in. Half of me was expecting a sick pipe, well on his fuck-flat, if you need water you have to ask.

There's a wall cabinet made from oak, I opened it and saw stuff I was expecting to see. Unused towels and robe neatly fold. Then on top layer, there's a toothbrush and toothpaste with unbranded soap. I'm very specific to things I use in my skin, I can't go to any soap available, I have my trusted brands and I need to talk things over with Oxygen. But the toothpaste looks fine, I have once tried that out when Zander's supplies run out and it was late for me to realize.

For now, water will do. I washed my face with water and brushed my teeth. I want to take a shower but I have to find my things first, also my essentials. These were the same clothes I had from yesterday, it's eeeeew that I had them on for twenty four hours now but who cares, I have to see Oxygen and ask for my things. Besides, it's just him I need to face, no need to be dolled up. He's not Ethan.

I saw the slippers I used yesterday properly stuck in one corner, I put that on and headed out. Even the staircase was made of fine woods, the house is all a mixture of brown and white. Totally something that suits a beach.

Smell of something I don't fancy meets my nose, I went to where its heading, I had to pass the other half of the room that serves as a dining area. The kitchen. It has a huge refrigerator in one corner and a small island counter in the middle, with lots of wooden cabinet. Then there's the oven and the stove. In front of the stove is the one I'm looking for and the one responsible for that smell of... I couldn't find the perfect word to fit in how bad it smells.

I was slightly lost from the smell, seeing his naked athletic back. Oxygen has a good built, insanely beautiful to be exact and I'm not the one to deny it. He looked like a man who had picked up heavy objects and put them down, and then done that again a few billion times. With the alcohol habit he has, shame to all the guys that sits in pub. His body is toned.
