Luna Raine

XLIII. Bruise Me

Raine's POV:

They say love makes you blind.

They ain't wrong.

"There! There!" I point at the perfect area to set my new game console. "Wait." I held two fingers in the air. The three guards wipe the sweat on their foreheads with their forearms. I rushed towards the bed and threw myself on it. I flip from my stomach to my back and then back to my stomach.

With one eye closed, I made a rectangle with my fingers then zoomed in at the gaming console below the flat screen. I turn the rectangle towards the brand new candy stand, popcorn machine, and refrigerator.

I never have to leave this room.

I sat upward, "Okay. You may all leave." One by one they left the bedroom. When the door closed, I jumped on the bed. "I love being wealthy! Wealth! Money!" Who said the money couldn't buy happiness. Because I am loads happy right now.

I clap twice.

The lights turn off.

I clap three times.

The disco ball appears.

"Beautiful," I whisper.

I grab the remote and switch on the tv and console. I close my eyes and the music scatters across the room and into my ears. "Is this Heaven?" I turned on the popcorn machine. The wonder scent drifts into my nostrils. "This is Heaven!"

At that particular moment, I slightly forgave Miguel for kidnapping me. Just a bit. I'm still mad that he did it and I'm still determined to set my revenge somehow.

The door inside the closet slammed open.

"Half a million dollars!" Leon's voice distributes around the Pack House.

I clap once and the lights turn on.

Leon's face was redder than my brand new game controller. He stomped towards me and threw down numerous papers. "You spent half a million dollars on-" He looks around the room. "Automatic lighting?"

"In the future, I may have to run away more and it will hurt my feet. If it's not automatic, how else am I supposed to switch on the light?" I reason.

"I don't know." He walks around the bed. "Maybe with the lamp beside your bed?"

I puff my cheeks and look down.

"A gaming console?"

"You got one," I mumbled. He got several.

"Popcorn machine?"

"You got voice command game storage in your bedroom," I rebuttal.

"Mini-fridge?"

"You got one too."

"Candy storage?"

"Everyone in the Pack House is so tall. You guys put everything on the top of the cabinet. I can't reach it."

He points at the ceiling, "Disco ball?"

I smile, "I've always wanted one." My body shakes like an excited little girl on ice cream. "Plus, you guys kidnapped me! The least you can do is give me all of this!"

Leon folds his arms, "And the new toilet?"

I purchased one of those fancy toilets that warm-up and spray water into my butthole. I cannot wait to try it out later. "Girls got needs, you know!"

Leon stared at me, his mouth slightly parted but nothing came out. He swallows and clears his throat.

"We both know, I can't do anything with anyone around here," I said.
