The One I Want

4. In his house

Matteo's pov

Waking up, I look around as I feel a comfy bed under me. The room I'm in is plain grey and black. The walls are grey, the bed set is white, the dresser is grey, the closet is white, and the nightstand is grey. Whoever room this is, is obsessed with white and grey.

Sitting up, I feel a headache coming on and I hold the back of my head with my left hand. Coming to my senses, I realize that someone has taken off my clothes but kept my underwear on. Ok that's creepy. Looking at the nightstand, I see a glass of water sitting next to a pill. With a note, it reads:

Take this pill. It's to help you with the headache that I'm sure you have. Once you do that, you can go take a shower. It's to the left in my room, I also put some clothes of mines on the counter for you. I got you towels and hung them up on the rack. When your out of the shower, you can brush your teeth with the extra toothbrush I have on the counter. Then you can come downstairs. I should have breakfast ready by the time your out of the shower.

Taking the pill, I drink the rest of the water. Well that's helpful. I don't even know who this guy is, but he's helping me so much. He's letting my sleep in his house, take a shower in his bathroom, letting me wear his clothes, and making me breakfast. My stomach starts to turn at the thought of eating.

I've been eating whatever I could find and whatever people would give me. Getting up out of bed, I look around for the bathroom and see a door opened with the fan on. Walking towards it, I push the door open and turn on the light.

I'm in awe, as I take in everything around me. Everything looks so fancy. The tub is in the middle of the bathroom, a shower with a glass door is to the right, there's two big mirrors lined up next to each other, there's also two sinks, and the toilet is next to the shower.

Noticing there's clothes on the sink, and towels hanging up on the shower, I close the door and walk towards the shower. Opening the glass door, I turn the shower on and watch as the water gets hot as I turn the knob. I've never had one of these types of showers at my old home, so I guess I'm kind of amazed.

Taking off my underwear, I touch the back of my head and feel stitches on my cut. Closing the door, I step under the shower head and get blasted by water. This feeling is amazing. I haven't felt this in years. Enjoying the water on my bed, I look down and see dirt and blood, going down the drain.

Grabbing the red towel, I squirt some axe body wash on it and begin to wash my dirty body. Washing my body for the first time in months, has me wondering how I got here. How I got kicked out, how my siblings just stood and stared. How my parents, more like my dad looked at me with disgust.

Scrubbing my body even harder, it begins to burn but that doesn't stop me from washing every inch of my body. Getting the dirt off of me, everything goes down the drain. After I'm done washing my body, the scent of axe body wash fills my nose and I close my eyes as the water goes down my face.

Opening my eyes, I grab the shampoo and squirt some into my hair. Scrubbing, rubbing, and rinsing, I squirt the conditioner into my hair next and feel my curly hair coming down my face.

I haven't cut it in a long time, so it's goes down to my shoulders. I don't think I want to get it cut either. After I finish washing my hair, I grab the face towel and rub all around. Looking at the towel, I see the dirt from my face on it.

I never realized how dirty I was, until now. And I'm really dirty. Finishing up in the shower, I turn the water off and open the glass door. Grabbing the body towel, I wrap it around my waist. I feel so brand new. My body feels clean, hair feels clean, and I feel like a new person.

Taking the towel off, I grab the underwear from the counter and slide it on. And to my surprise, it fits me nicely. Putting on the rest of my clothes, I feel warm and I smile a little. Grabbing the toothbrush from the counter, I have to open it from the pack and I wet it before putting toothpaste on it.

Brushing my teeth, I look into the mirror and pause. It's like, the moment when you look at yourself and realize that you look good. Especially when you haven't seen yourself in a mirror in a long time. That's the feeling I'm having right now.

Getting all the dirt from out of my teeth, I spit the toothpaste out and wash my mouth out with water from the sink. Doing that for 2 more times, I put the toothbrush back into the pack and turn the water off.

Leaving the bathroom, I turn the light off and walk out of the bedroom. I don't know where to go as I stand in a hallway so I just walk straight down and finally come across stairs which are leading to downstairs.

Taking a deep breath, I walk down the stairs.
