A/N: AHHHH. We hit ONE THOUSAND READS fam. This is_
I_
I have no words. I'm literally in tears right now. All I want to say is THANK-YOU for reading and giving me your time of the day. I really appreciate it a lot.
I also decided to change the cover of my book, so if any of my readers would like to make a cover for this book, that'd be much appreciated. I don't have a deadline yet but I'd say get it done and sent to me through dms by October 20th. If there are more than one options, I'll host a vote so that YOU (my beautiful readers) may choose which one you like the most.
AND, since we hit 1k, I decided to give you guys a good chapter today, just to thank you for reading my story.
I love youuu!
Okay, I'll shut up now.
Enjoy babesss.

A slight knock jolts me awake.
I abruptly sat up, my eyes snapping open.
As I frantically observed my surroundings, my face morphed from confusion to realization in a span of five seconds.
Another knock snaps me out of my trance.
"Uhh...come in" I call out
The door slowly creaks open and I see Alfred's head peak in.
"Good-afternoon, Mrs. Rodriguez" He smiles brightly at me
"Afternoon? How long have I been asleep?"
"Six hours" He says
I curse under my breath.
"I'm so sorr_"
"It's okay dear. I just came to wake you because dinner is almost ready. You might want to get freshened up" He says
I furiously nod.
"Of course, I'll be down in a minute" I reassure
He nods before walking out and gently closing the door behind him.
I slap my hands over my face in aggravation.
How rude of me!
I hurry out fo the comfortable bed and rush into the bathroom. As predicted, it was gorgeous and actually quite resembled Jackson's bathroom.
I head towards the mirror and observe my reflection. I looked
FILTHY.
Filthy was an understatement.
My hair was nappy and lay flat on my head. I was still wearing the same clothes from two days ago, my face was pale, my lips cracked and chappy, I had highly noticeable bags under my eyes and I just looked physically and emotionally drained.
I avert my attention to the shower and quickly begin undressing.
I soon make my way into the shower before twisting the faucet open. Immediately, warm water glides down my bare and sensitive skin, causing goosebumps all over my skin.
I let out a satisfied sigh before leaning my head onto the wall.

I rush to slip into some navy blue jeans and a rouge crop top.
I didn't have enough time to comb my hair, so I quickly tie it into a bun. Glancing at the mirror one last time before leaving, I smile in content.
At least I looked presentable.
