I woke up to  the feeling of soft sheets.It was as if I was lying down on the clouds,If that was possible.The sweet smell of Lavender filled my nostrils.I didn't have nightmares.I opened my eyes and noticed that I was in a dimly lit green painted room.The room was spacious and purely beautiful.The floor had dark marbles but a deep green center rug occupied the center.A Green loveseat stood in front of the king sized bed,facing the  huge LED TV. A beautiful golden chandelier draped from the beautifully designed ceiling and  that's when  I noticed the colourful crystal dome  in the ceiling.It allowed sunlight to pass through it, bringing about different colours.Before I could continue examining  the place, A knock came from the door.

“Ree Ree,are you in there?”A high pitched feminine voice called from the door.Ree Ree?,Who's  Ree Ree.I thought to myself.

“Ree Ree,I'm coming in"The person came  in and flicked the light switch and that's  when I noticed  posters of  Mr Rude , Modelling?,all over the room.

“You're not Ree Ree. Who are You?”A little girl clad in pink narrowed her eyes at me.

“I'm-”Before I could finish replying,she ran off screaming “Ree Ree,there's  a burglar  in your room.it sounded more like, ‘wree wree wares a bauwgwah in your roooooommm’.

I just  ignored it. I was about to get off the bed when I noticed a teddy bear beside the pillow that looked exactly like the one from the carnival.it had a little note on it.That read;

“Good morning  Ava. I hope you slept well. I brought you here because you said you didn't want your mom know. I already  sent a text to her telling her that you're okay ,so don't worry about it.If you need to shower or change,  there's a dress and some shower stuff in the closet, help yourself out.

I dropped the teddy bear and walked to the closet and opened the door. It was a huge walk-in closet or should I say run-in closet because of how spacious it was. It had different types and colours of suits,shoes, clothes,perfumes,belts and  at the side there were female clothes. Why would he have female clothes in his closet?. I walked to the female side. The clothes were still new with tags on them but the prices were torn off.

I picked the beautiful floral short and fled dress that laid on the mannequin and had my name on it. It came with pearl earrings,Floral bangles,a pearl necklace, a floral hair clip and a pair of white sandals.It was truly beautiful .I knew they were expensive  just by looking at them. The pearls were  real.'How rich is this guy?!.' I wondered.

I looked up and saw a shower bag that had everything I needed right from a towel,soap,shampoo,conditioner,lotion,perfume oil,sponge,toothbrush, toothpaste,comb,brush,hair dryer,straightener down to underwear and some little ‘female stuff’.Mr cheeks turned red.

     
I  took a shower and got ready.I smelt like strawberries(even if they technically have no smell. I looked at myself in the mirror.i couldn't recognize myself.just wow.

I picked up the teddy bear,ready to take it downstairs when a crumpled  up note fell from it. I picked it up and opened it. It was indeed a note.

“Dear Ava,

     Today has been a good day so far.I know  we haven't  finished the day yet or we probably would have when you read this.I've liked you since the  first  day you walked into the gym(when I was around) up till today ,being our first date .Some would say that this is too fast but I don't think it is.Although I suck at writing letters and expressing myself.      

   By the way,I went back to get this teddy bear that time that I told you to wait for me. I purposely  didn't win it front of you because  that would have been so cliché and I'm not that kinda guy.I  know my letter really sucks,but ive been meaning to ask you,would you be my girlfriend?. You don't have to give me an answer yet .Take your time to think about it.

                                                                                         Yours truly,

                             Reece(Mr.Rude).

I couldn't help but smile at the paper. I was supposed  to  have read it on the carnival day but I ruined it. 'I just hope Mr Ru-Reece doesn't regret writing this'i thought to myself and smiled when i realised that he finally told me his name.

I  left the room with the teddy bear  secured in my arms.The corridor alone was massive with so many rooms down the hall. I looked down the balcony and saw Reece carrying the little girl from earlier in his arms. I smiled remembering the letter. I walked down the stairs a little nervous.The house had two long and large stairs that went all the way down to the ground floor.there was a chandelier that hung between them.Reece’s eyes widened when they met me and widened  even more when they saw the teddy bear.The little girl he was carrying struggled to come down and ran to me,smiling.i crouched to be face to face with her. She looked so much like Reece.

“I'm so sorry for calling you a burglar”she pouted.

“Its okay ,what's your name little girl?”I said smiling.

“My name is Princess Bella. What's yours?”.

“Well I'm Princess Ava” I  said and she grinned and ran back to Reece.

“I apologised Ree Ree! I'm a good girl"she said and Reece ruffled her hair.

“Well hello there .You must be Ava" A young woman who looked just like Reece said.Her look screamed out 'designer' from head to toe.Must be his sister.

“Hi,yes I am".

“I'm his mum,Bridget. Nice to meet you” she said, giving me those air kisses that rich people do.'Wow, already meeting his mum'.”Would you like  to join us for dinner?” she asked and I was about to shake my head when Reece cut in.

“As a matter of fact,she would.She must be starving".He said with a straight face on and I just stared at him.

“Sí,Vamonos" She said walking towards the dining table and we all followed. As soon as we sat down, different servers came from the kitchen and laid out several kinds of dishes in front of us.

“Reece por favor di la gracia”Reece’s mum said and I just stared as Reece as he said what i assumed was the grace,in spanish.Lord,please  forgive me.Instead of me to close my eyes, I stayed there watching as his mouth moved to pronounce each word in Spanish.It was as if the language  was made for him.

“Amén"They all said and started eating while I just sat there twirling my food around.I could feel eyes on me. I looked up to meet green eyes  staring at me with a raised eyebrow. It wasn't an eyebrow  raise of confusion but more of seriousness or ‘are you kidding me?' kind of look. I just stared at him, a little confused and he looked away with anger, leaving me even more confused.His Mother and I were in a conversing when Reece stood up stating that he needed to go and that I should  let him know when I'm ready to leave.

“But Reece darling,you haven't finished your food" Reece’s mother said and he looked at his mum.

“I have work to do mamá”he said sternly.

“estás bien?”

“Sí" with that he left. Odd.We talked a little  more and when I was done conversing,I stood up to look for Reece.I felt dizzy just looking at the amount of doors down the hallway.I saw one of the maids pass by and I asked her if she had seen Reece and she pointed  at a door down the hall and I thanked her.I knocked on the door and a woman with glasses came to open the door. It was the secretary that came with him to my school the other day.I felt a pang of jealousy  when I  looked at her.
