Henrietta's P.O.V
"Open it" I hiss and rush to the door but Romeo just steps infront of me.
Close to me.
Too close.
I step back quickly"What? You afraid I'm going to kill you?" He asks with an evil smirk and my eyes widen
"Open the door" I grunt and reach for the door again but he just steps aside really quickly, and in one motion, pulls me to himself.
Aaargh!! The faint scent of Cinnamon and Honey engulf me.. My Chest!!
I push him away and I land on my butt. Tears sting my eyes
"I don't bite, you know" Romeo frowns and tries to pick me up.
My space. Oh God
"You're going to kill me" I breathe "Let me out!" I wipe at a tear drop furiously
"Are you okay?" His face is painted in confusion, but I can't really talk now, can I?
"Space! Air!" I breathe "J- Just let me go!" I cry out
"Henrietta?!" He yells and comes down to my level
******
"Please let me go home. I'm fine" I plead for the thousandth time since I woke up almost 3 minutes ago
"Are you really feeling better?" The lady I assume is a nurse asks.
That's all she's been asking. I've asked many questions and she'd just ask that back, without answering my question.It's like she's been programmed to ask just that.
"Am I in a game?" I ask quietly "Is this Jumanji?" My eyes widen and she looks at me incredulously
"Oh dear.. Are you sure you're feeling better?"
I sigh "Yes. Very much" I notice she's not coming close to me.
She probably knows already"Where am I?" I try, waving around at the strange bedroom. It's really big. It's wide enough to accommodate a thousand people.
My own room could probably accommodate 600 or a little more, but without me in it.Yes. This room is that wide.
"Romeo's Apartment. Romeo's Room" She replies and I blink
She sighs "Romeo brought you home. He told me what happened and I figured you were either too scared of him, had social anxiety or you're Claustrophobic"
"Now, what do you think?" I breathe
"You're Claustrophobic" she tells me "Romeo says that you don't look like someone who'd get scared just because of being trapped in a lab with a boy"
Okay okay. Hold the phone!
Sometimes, some students go to the lab just to have heavy, long make out sessions.
So, don't get me wrong when I say this..."That Son of a..." I stop myself on time "Wait. Who exactly are you?" She could be his Mum or Sister, for all I know.
"I'm Rosaline; Romeo's personal Nurse. You can call me Rose" She smiles
"Can I leave now?" I pout but still make no move to get up from the bed.
"I'll get Romeo" She walks out leaving me alone in Romeo Archer's room.
The scent of Cinnamon and Honey is very strong here.
I pull the duvet to my chin and sniff.ooooo Cinnamon and Honeyyyy!!! I almost moan at the delicious scent.
