Love Me Like That || ✔️

Chapter 7

R o s a l i e
When I woke up he wasn't there. I mean he usually never slept with me in the bed but he'd be on the sofa or chair or something. Some nights I would wake up and watch him sleep; he looked so innocent when he slept. I sighed and felt weird, I don't know what this feeling was but I for sure know it's not a good thing.

I needed a way out.

Lucifer had granted me the permission of leaving the room yesterday, so I planned on leaving the room and discovering the place and from the view I had from my window, I knew it was a big place.

I left the bed and entered the en-suit bathroom. After locking the mahogany door, I slowly striped out of my nightgown and turned the hot water on. I don't like warm showers, I need the steam. Feeling the hot water trickle on my skin was like heaven to me. I stood under the water for a few seconds, letting my mind sink to the deepest of the deep. What am I doing? Who am I? This is not Rosalie Scotts, this is the girl that Lucifer Russo wants. Sexy, badass, confident. Not the girl who overthinks about every action she does, not the girl who is the definition of innocence. He's changed me and... I'm not angry with him. I should be angry! I should shout at him and yell at him for kidnapping me and bringing me to this shithole. Taking me away from everything! But here I am, under the hot waterfall of the shower, craving his touch. I could feel his breath on my neck as I close my eyes. "Mine.." being whispered in my ear with his sexy cold voice.

God I should stop this! What am I doing?!

After I leave the shower and dress up I finally turn the knob of the door and take a step out. I look to my left and right, long corridors. I decide to do eenie minie moe and take the right route. Walk walk walk. Damn is this house endless or what? I enter a room which looks like a home cinema. I walk towards the CDs of films and pick one before putting it in the player and letting the movie appear in the big screen. I sit down on a seat and hear a grunt. A man sits up; dark brown man bun, hazel eyes, sharp jaw and cheekbones. He could be a model. He looks at me with a harsh face and says teasingly, "you woke me up from my beauty sleep!" I tried to hold a laugh in as he smiled and put his hand out, "I'm Marco, and you?"
"Rosalie." I smile back. He nods his head and his face changes for a few seconds before he turns back to normal. "Wh-What are you doing here sleeping?" I ask with a chuckle. He sighs dramatically,
"This is the only place I could rest without being called every two minutes-" he pointed his finger at me, "and you have just now ruined it!" He threw his hands in the air and slapped them back onto his knees before sighing in a fake manner. I laughed,
"well maybe you should find another place to rest" I turned to the movie and continued to watch it. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow,
"have you even had a tour of the place?". I shook my head. He grabbed my wrist and got me off my seat, "What are you waiting for?!"

He took me out of the home cinema and gave me a tour. It was bigger than what I expected, maybe even 10x the size of my apartment. There were a big chandelier hanging in the middle of the living room and dining room. The dining room had a very long table with so many chairs, at least 20. "What is the point of having a huge table if it's only you and lucifer living here? I mean there is maids but I doubt they'd eat with you" I asked. Marco laughed,
"It's not just us who live here silly. There's many other people who do, like the securities". What interested me was that the whole house was quite bright, full of white, cream, silver and gold but Lucifer's room was dark. So dark. After the tour of the place he took me back to lucifer's room. Before he left, he called my name and I looked at him and walked to him, "is something wrong?"
"Are you happy with being here?" He said with a sad smile. I sighed,
"I don't know. I was taken here by force, took away from my family and friends. So maybe I'm not that happy..." I held my head low. He held my hands in his palms, "then I'll help you escape".

The plan was easy. Tomorrow at lunch, when Lucifer went work I'd go to the guest room near Lucifer's room and escape through the window, that Marco would've unlocked the night before, whilst he distracted the securities. I will have an envelope of about a thousand dollars in my hand and my ID.

I woke up before Lucifer and watched him sleep on the sofa next to the bed. I frowned a bit and sighed quietly. My heart aches for some reason. Once Lucifer left for work Marco came and gave the wad of cash and my fake ID. "Remember! When you get out through the window you have to run. Run with all the power you've got. You'll reach a river and once you've crossed it you'll turn right and there's a small bed and breakfast motel there." I nod and hugged him, feeling comfort for once. I whispered,
"Thank you..". He pat my back and pulled away.
"Just.. escape while you can." He said before he left.

An hour later, I was off. Silently walking to the guest room and closing the door behind me, I inhaled and exhaled before opening the window and jumping out. It was ground floor so it was just a little high. The minute I was out, I ran with all my strength.

I was free..

I recited his words, "reach the river, cross it, turn right and go to the motel". I passed so many trees before reaching the river. My chest burned with fire from running too much with all of my will. I crossed the river and turned right. There it was! The motel! I entered it with my head low, "how much's a night?" I asked. It was a beautiful ginger girl,
"$300". I gave her the money and received the key to my room. Finally free..
