MONSTERS (Z. M)

Chapter 18

Cherry

I was was on my pink chair in my dressing room waiting for my mom's longtime salonist do my hair before we could go down for breakfast. I gazed at myself in the mirror, my eye focusing on my lips. They patted slightly as the image of Zayn and I kissing in the dark , flashed in my eyes.

It had been just a day  since Zayn and I kissed and to be honest, things are a little bit weird. I couldn't look at him in the eyes without feeling sick. I mean I let him, Zayn, kiss me, and I enjoyed it. It didn't help that I was thinking about Justin all the time.

I let another man kiss me, and it was weird since it felt like Justin. How confused was I to make them feel the same, I mean Zayn was always rough with me. Even the first time that he forcefully kissed me, it felt like being slashed with a sword. Justin on the other hand, was, let's just say, I was made to kiss him.

"You ready?" I saw the huge smile that  Winnie wore from her reflection in the mirror and closed my mouth.

"mm" I hummed nodding as if hiding something. She walked elegantly towards me and all of a sudden I missed my best friend Regina. I kept wondering why she disappeared. I mean she was family and  I hoped that one day, she was going to marry my brother and be my sister.

I held that thought as Winnie started doing my hair. It was not like I wanted to, but every time anyone touched my hair, ever since I was little, I fell asleep in seconds. She didn't even bother making the small talk because she knew me too well.

"Please can I take a nap, just ten minutes, you can sit here so they won't come to look for me." I begged stretching. She had woken me up after she was done. .

"O.. "I bet she was going to give me an okay until something...Well someone interrupted us. I fought the urge to ignore the persisting knocks on my door that was making me angry little by little.

" Come in. "I yelled unnecessarily because I was bored. Our house keeper Mrs steel, walked in. I knew I was about to get scolded for how I yelled and I was really ready to tell her I wasn't a kid anymore if she dared to.

" Cherry Green, mind your tone next time. "I nodded apologetically. She was always very tough with me but I always loved and respected her. Up until my sleeping time. I never liked anyone at that time.

" My apologies Mrs Steel. "I whispered my gaze fixed at the floor. Winnie looked at me sympathetically .

" You are sleepy aren't you? "I shook my head no. But that was for nothing. She knew me too well. She was the one that raised the Four of us. Henry, Zayn, Regina and I. She knew us like the back of her hand.

" It is okay Winnie you can go now.thank you." I grabbed a pair of sweatpant and started to the bathroom as she proceeded to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"To change, I can't do it here with..."

"I have seen you get cleaned up since you w.." that was just not the time to bring that up. So what if she saw me, I was a baby and now, I had a baby, I dead baby that she didn't stop my dad from torturing to death. Now that I think of it, maybe she doesn't deserve my love and respect. She should have just stayed at the other mansion.

"Get over it Dorothy. I am not a child anymore so stop treating me like one. I am almost twenty two, so you don't have to be here every second, every minute to see if I have eaten or if I am warm, you are not my mother. And would you stop with the stun tone, I am not  six anymore! "

I watched her mouth go open and in a second, all the sleep I thought I had left.

" Oh my God I am so sorry. It is the sleep. "I acussed throwing on my clothes right where I never wanted to.
