Helanie:
"Uhmmm!" Comfort and good sleep go hand in hand. Especially when you have had a good 12 hours’ sleep.
I had the best sleep in so long. I slept like a baby and didn’t even wake up until the lights were shed from the window.
I got up and yawned, stretching my arms as far apart as I could. There is a weird satisfaction about stretching after waking up.
But the minute cold brushed against my skin, I lowered my head to look at my attire, and a shockwave hit when I found myself wearing Jenny’s nighty that she forgot to pack, and I was supposed to pack it in my luggage.
"Wait a minute! I was supposed to be—at the beach," I instantly pushed the blanket away and yelled, ready to jump out of the bed and try to get the idea of what the heck happened and how I ended up sleeping for so long.
As I scread and jumped to my feet, another shock hit when soone barged in hurriedly. His sight in front of was like watching a ghost doing tango.
"Ahhh!" I scread and wrapped my arms around my body, feeling so naked before the monster called Norman rushed in.
He sighed and rolled his eyes as if calling dramatic and then turned his body to the side, his hands on his waist.
"I believe you are in your senses now," he comnted, causing to look around while still hugging myself. I found my sweater and baggy jeans on the couch, so I rushed to grab them. As I began to slip into the sweater, I complained, "How the heck did I end up in this—nighty? And why are you here?"
"Are you done?" Instead of responding to , he asked very coldly.
Of course, he didn’t care how worried I was thinking about everything, and especially his presence in the guesthouse when I was all alone.
"Yes," I grunted, folding my arms over my chest and maintaining a frown on my forehead.
He turned to face . He wasn’t wearing his coat, and his shirt’s first few buttons were open. I was extrely disturbed, thinking about the missing hours from my mory.
"You were given FOL," he replied, and when I frowned, he explained, "Fla of Dust."
I had a mixed reaction to his statent. I first believed he was lying to just to freak out, and then I rembered the note Salem had written for .
"Ugh!" As a yelp escaped my lips, I covered my mouth with my hands and kept staring at Norman with my eyes wide and big.
"Oh no! Wait—did I? Why did you—oh my—did we?" I had so many questions, and none of them were able to leave my mouth in full sentences.
I wanted to run as fast as I could and then disappear into the mist.
"No!" Norman quickly took a step forward, his hands up in defense when I stepped back from him.
He stopped walking once he noticed how shocked and upset I was. "You did nothing. I ca over because you had texted Kaye, asking him to co over. I called, and you said you were not feeling well. I arrived, and we did nothing. In fact—" he took a little pause and then confidently stated, "I gave you a sleeping pill so that you could sleep it off."
Relief only hit when I rembered my attire. "Why am I in that nighty? Did you put in that dress?" I asked, and he frowned.
"No! When I gave you the dicine, you ca to the bedroom and probably changed before heading to bed. Rest assured, nothing happened, and I would never—" he scoffed loudly, but for the first ti, I liked hearing him scoff so much.
I would have felt such terrible guilt if I had done sothing or seduced this man before .
"No need to worry. You are fine," he added.
It was quite weird that he gave a pill to ensure I didn’t end up doing sothing stupid. I an, I wouldn’t expect more from him. He wasn’t the type to comfort anyone, so him giving a pill was already a big move.
"I was supposed to be with my friends on the beach. What would they think—" I was freaking out again when I realized it was a whole new day.
"Don’t worry about that. I told Lamar to inform everyone you had to fill in so class report, so you stayed behind. Just go get ready, and I will take you to the beach myself. Kaye is headed to the beach too, and he doesn’t know you stayed here. So if he asks you, give the sa excuse I told Lamar," he was coldly yamring, not even making eye contact with .
"You will drop to the beach?" I asked, raising my eyebrow in shock.
"No need to point it out. It’s either I take you, or Kaye does. And I don’t think Kaye should take you now that he has a chosen mate," he shocked once again with his words.
"Why? I am his stepsister," I was slightly taken aback by his attempts to separate from his brother.
Was there sothing wrong? Did he know anything?
"And I don’t want you asking my brother for favors," he rolled his eyes when he didn’t have a plausible excuse.
"Now, go get ready and pack your bags," he dismissed with his hand before walking out.
However, once he was out of the room, I heard him say one more thing, "We will make a quick stop to grab you breakfast. I don’t want you going around telling everyone I’m a monster, a demon who didn’t even offer you food."
I rolled my eyes, but the fact that he knew I called him a monster was just hilarious.
However, I was still angry at the fact that Salem did that to . I will give her a befitting response and see how she recovers from it.
