I woke up when i felt a car come to a halt. I opened my eyes to notice a cute but classy bungalow. I stepped out of the car slowly and trailed him into the house. The house was really breathtaking in the inside. Those who admire the house from outside really need to get a view of the inside.
He had a huge television hung on the wall, cream leather sofas and white carpet covered the entire living room.
White carpet?? Who the fuck puts a fucking white rug in his house?
"My mom thinks it makes me feel classy", he chuckled, obviously thinking about his mom's delusional words. Shit I can't believe i said that out loud.
I took of my shoes and walked on the fluffy carpet to follow him into a long hallway. The hallway was like a photo gallery with so many portraits of different people. There were pictures of Dr. Christian giving talks at different seminars. He looked so professional and passionate about his job. There was a picture that caught my eyes of Dr. Christian kneeling beside a little girl who was seating on a wheel chair. They were both smiling widely at the camera. The words 'Our memories together will never be forgotten" were inscribed beneath the frame.
Maybe she is his daughter. Afterall, they both look alike.
Another picture had a woman who looked like she was in her mid fifties. If you ask me, she looked snd dressed as classy as the queen of England. I knew immediately that she was his mom because she had the same deep blue ocean eyes and black hair which fell to her waist. She is beautiful.
"Aren't you ready to go bed because I am really tired and i still need to do some work this night", he said sounding tired. I really felt like a fool by delaying him. I mumbled a 'I'm sorry' avoiding his eyes and following him into the door he had opened.
I stepped into the all-white room and looked around and saw the king-sized bed in the middle of the room and a tv facing the bed. The room had a reading table and chair with a night lamp on it. I saw two doors of which i assumed one to be the bathroom and the other, the closet. My eyes fell on the bed again and I immediately remembered how tired i was. I spotted a white hoodie on the bed.
Okay this guy does have an obsession with white.
He followed my gaze and said, "I don't have anything for you to wear so i thought it'd be comfortable for you to sleep in those. "Thanks", i said shyly. He walked out of the room and shut the door. I immediately walked into the bathroom to have a shower. I slowly looked at myself in the mirror and saw all my cuts that have formed blackish blue..
I'm slowly fading away and when I'm done, the world wouldn't even know I existed.
I opened the tap to run and i closed to passage to make bubble bath. I opened the toilet drawer to find a 'japanese cherry blossom' bath wash. I poured a few drops into the water and within no time, the scent filled the whole bathroom. ThankGod i love bath and body wash products. I step into the tub ignoring the stings from the cuts. I sat there for about thirty minutes before getting out. I grabbed the two towels he gave and wrapped one around my body and used the other to dry my hair.
Once I was done doing that, I changed into the hoodie which stopped right above my knee. Not bad. I immediately jumped on the soft bed and went under the duvet, darkness engulfing me.
Christian's POV.
I woke up to the sound of weeping and pleading. Immediately, I ran out of the room and opened her door only to find a miserable Ivory crying and pleading in her sleep, " Please you don't have to do this, I'm all she has left. You've already taken dad and Jason. Please not me too. Let me be here for her. She doesn't deserve any of this." This time she was rolling all over the bed and tightening her grip on the sheets, sweating profusely.
I ran to the bed and and shook her trying to wake her up. Her body was freezing. I shook her again and she opened her eyes which were filled with fear. She looked relieved as she saw me. She moved out of my grip as she sat, bringing her knees to her face. " Hey what are you doing here, Dr Christian?" Ugh if I hadn't seen her a minute ago, I'd have believed nothing actually happened.
"It's just Christian and are you okay?" I said softly. " Look I'm fine, Christian. I'm sorry for interrupting your sleep", she said, laying emphasis on my name. I gave her a sad look and she said, " I'm serious it's all good. I'm kinda used to it by now."
Yeah right. Like that will make me feel any better.
" I'm gonna get you water ", I said standing up and heading for the kitchen. I got the water and headed for the room again. She had already stretched out her legs and rolled the sleeves of the hoodie up. As she collected the water from me, something caught my attention. There were cuts on her wrist. Lots of them up to her arm. I immediately felt anger running through my veins so I stood up and left the room slamming the door on my way out.
