Pokémon : Black Rising

49. Close Call!

When my consciousness rerturned, I resisted the urge to open my eyes. Instead, I enabled Aura Vision to perceive my surroundings.

Dunno if this is good or bad but I was on a bed. A very soft one at that. From the looks of it, I was not in an abandonded shed of some kind but in a bedroom. Mirror, closet, nightstand, lamps and everything. My nose kicked in and the room smelt of flowers of various kinds.

It felt like I was rescued from Bryan after he knocked me out and placed in a comfy PokeCentre room. But that had to ruin the moment. That stupid thing.

A CCTV camera, maybe more, was hanging near the door, cleverly disguised as a lamp. My every move was being watched. Perhaps my escape from Kevin from the last time must've piqued thier interest. Anyway, Aura Zone was off the list.

I waited for two minutes before gradually opening my eyes. I put up a good show of astonishment although there was no real need for it. 'Cause when I hopped off the bed, I found myself only in my boxers.

YIKES!

I nearly shrieked at the discovery and scrambled for clothes. Apparently, the closet held my outfit; washed, ironed and perfumed of something weird. Without a second thought, I put on the jeans. I secretly thanked my intuition for that because a second after zipping it, Abigail walked in with a smirk plastered on her face.

" So you decided to wake up, cutie?" She asked, still smirking.

I barked at her, " Don't you have any manners? Knock before entering a room, lady! "

Her smirk curled up even more, "Why would I knock to enter my room?"

My face was up in flames. First of all, I was beyond embarrassed. Standing shirtless a few foot from a suspected sicko is NOT a pleasant experience. Next, what the heck am I doing inside a woman's room?! That's just... ridiculous! (If you know what I mean.)

" Could you please cut out the lies and provide me some info?"

She cat walked towards the bed and flopped down, stretching her arms and emitting a moan. "Info you say? Well, for starters, you're in my room at the amazing Team Black headquarters. "

" WHAT?! " I bellowed.

She placed her index finger on her lips. "Hush! Don't you know it's rude to interrupt a lady? As I was saying, you were most kindly brought to the headquarters by the hottie who beat the hell outta you. There was a discussion on where to place you so I insisted on my room. Why do you ask? Well, I thought of spending quality time with the one I crush on."

I stuck my tongue out in disgust. "That's just yuck! How old even are you? Forty? Sixty? Hundred?"

Her lips curled down. "Now that's just rude, cutie! I'm not that old. Does a gorgeous beauty deserve that age? "

I mumbled, " Just answer me and get the HECK out of my...uh... Your room! "

Her playful smirk returned. " So cute when you try to boss people around! That's just one of the reasons I like you so much! "

I gagged at that. " Sorry but I intend to stay single. Besides, I don't wanna date an old- "

Before I could finish the sentence, she tackled me into the open closet. The doors shut in the process, leaving us in the dark. I yelped, "What the-! "

She interrupted with her finger on my lips. The experience was the opposite of pleasant. The closet was small enough for a person and on top of that, her body was pressing against mine; her breath mingling with mine. Lemme tell you, it's not as good as people say it is.
