MONSTERS (Z. M)

Chapter 2

"What should I wear?"

"Not this, not this, and abso-fucking-lutely not this." Each and every time, I threw an outfit somewhere behind me. I sighed exasperated when I didn't find something to fit the occasion.

It had been quite a while since we went outside, even for shopping, Zayn made sure of that. Four weeks that he had been there, he gave me freaking hell with that debut shit. I even stopped looking up for my eighteenth birthday because of him.

He made sure I  was locked up in my bedroom because he did weird things that left me terrified so I had to lock myself in there. I got tired of all that hiding so when Naomi told me to join some of her students that afternoon, I was ecstatic.

"Whoa,! young lady, did your closet explode?" I heard Regi's voice from the other end but I couldn't see her since there was a heap of clothes between us.

"Don't call me young lady," smiling at her attempt to always paint me as the younger one in that relationship, I dragged myself towards the mountain and climbed on top. "hi." I greeted from on top of them. She was already in her black trousers suit, a gun tucked on her waist belt and a walkie-talkie in hand "I don't have anything to wear. "

"And what are all these?" she pointed to my clothes that looked homeless.

"These, are weird costumes that we wear when we go for balls, or some politician’s birthday or to, a politician's funeral." I took a few seconds to play dead pool and I settled on our minister for internal affairs. “I can't wear." I felt like an ogre for picking him when the poor guy couldn't even breath properly due to the weight he had.  "I can't wear any of  these, I would look out of place, I need a sundress not a clowship costume . " I groan burying my face in my clothes before she figured out what my horrible thoughts were about.

"Okay," just when I thought she didn't have anywhere else to put even a pin, she surprised me with fetching a phone from I didn't know where and started dialing a number. I quickly climbed down and dashed to stop her. I knew all too well whom she was going to call and was most certain that he was going to bring something for circus from the planet Mars.

"Please," I snatched the phone from her. "I don't need stress right now.” If he knew, he definitely would have called my dad who was a loyal pet to Zayn and I am sure, it would have been hectic to get Zayn involved. Plus I couldn't let my dad think he was right, that I couldn't do things for myself. He would put his minion in charge.

The guy was basically running my life and he was using my stupid debut as green card to meddle with my shit. I needed to get the hell out of there before he came up and forbade me from going out. He actually gave himself all that power.

"Come on don't be dramatic, you are always so damn dramatic. " she walked to my drawer, that I hadn't even noticed wasn't properly locked,

okay, I had noticed, I just was too lazy to put it properly.

She pulled something,a small shopping bag and then My mouth hang open at the beauty of a dress that she pulled out.  I forgot how to breathe for some few minutes, just taking in it's beauty.

"Where did that come from?" she asked after I had snatched it from her.

" I-I don't know... . I think I have a fairy godmother out there looking out for me. "it came out dreamy because the dress looked like nothing in the real world. I quickly slipped the dress on and stood in front of my fuIl length mirror, "Where have you been all my life” I was straightening the elegant red spaghetti straps with deep v neck. It was very, very short bodycon that hugged like a second skin and I didn't care about it's height because my dad and I were on a break. Plus, I knew Zayn was going to surprise me with a "tent" for my eighteenth birthday.So in the meantime, I would wear handkerchief if I wanted to.
