Reichel slowly opened her eyes. Sunlight falling on her face.
Suddenly something struck her mind.
She got up.
The bed, the sheets, the curtains. She has got here before.
'Red mansions?'
She jumped out of the bed. She wore the same gown from last night. She was satisfied that this time he didn't change or do anything to her cloths.
Then another thought came to her mind.
'This is his room right? So did he sleep here or something?'
'No..no.. no.. why does such creepy thoughts come to my mind always?'
Suddenly the door opened and there he stood. Handsome as always in a white shirt and brown pants. His hair extremely messy as if he has just got out of the bed. With long steps, he moved towards her. She wasn't sure to have a conversation. In a sudden she moved from his way, ignoring him, walked towards the door. But he wouldn't just let her go like that. He got hold of her wrist with a huge force he pinned her towards the wall without hurting her. She did expect something like this. His right arm right beside her cheek. She could see vains of his muscular arm. The other arm of his, down near his side, slowly raised to reach her forehead.
She wanted to get out of there but her body seemed to uncoorporate. She couldn't spit out a word as her mouth was sealed by his cold aura. His face was so close that she couldn't bare but look into his brown eyes. At the very moment she fell into his eyes. It was indescribable. His hot breaths travelling all over her face, his hand near her cheek and finally his other hand touching gently at her forehead accelerated the feeling.
"You seem to be fine now"
She seemed to be lost somewhere that his sound didn't reach her ears.
He watched her for some time.
"I have work to do" he said. But she didn't seem to hear.
Seeing her ignoring his words he slowly went near her ear and whispered, "I can't just stand here like this"
Suddenly a tickling sensation made her react. She furrowed her eyebrows. But she still appeared clueless.
"Princess, I can only go to work if you leave me" he said with a smile sparkling on his face.
"Huh.....?" She realised that her right hand was around him.
'What the.....? '
She took her arm back. She couldn't recall what she exactly did and why. She stood there trying to recall.
Mean while, he stepped back and went towards his wardrobe and took a hair gel out of it and applied it in his hair. Then after selecting a brown coat matching his pants and hanging it in his shoulder he peeked at her and walked towards the door and said, "Breakfast is ready. Go ahead if you want...And there are cloths to change too"
She didn't respond and he knew it. He shut the door and got off to work.
'Something's happening to you. You are getting clueless and clueless with each day girl'
She couldn't understand anything. What was happening to her?
Suddenly a strange voice came from her stomach. 'God..... I'm hungry'
She remembered Red's words, but she wasn't sure.
'I cannot trust him fully. But he haven't done any harm yet. He also did save me.....twice'
She thought for a moment but couldn't think much as her stomach was longing to get food.
'Hey, wait.....Did he say that there are cloths to change too?'
Even though the dress was pretty, it wasn't suitable to wear all the time. So he had to change.
She noticed that in the table just near to the bed there was a package. She opened it and there was a white dress. It was casual, simple yet very beautiful. She tried it on and it just perfectly suited her. It extended till her knees, it was half sleeved and there were two layers of soft cotton which was the most apt one to wear at that time according to her.
A sudden shock dashed at her.
She was still wearing that necklace that he gave her.
'Oh dear....I should have returned it by now.... '
She carefully removed it and kept it in front of the mirror very carefully.
'When he'll come back he'll take it.....yeah.... that's fine..'
She made her steps towards the door and peaked outside the room to check if there were any staffs or something. But to her surprise none was there. It was strange but she decided to take advantage of it.
She loped through the corridors and enjoyed the moment.
'So fresh...'
Then suddenly there was a rumbling sound. She lay her hands on her tummy.
'So hungry...'
'Breakfast is ready' she recalled Red's words.
She rushed through the corridors and found her way to the dining. It was a perfect match for the mansion. A big round table with peach silk cloth in it and maroon chairs surrounding it. In front of one chair there was this plate full of delicious looking macaroni, wonderfully dressed with cheese which made impatient.
She ran got hold of the fork and spoon beside it and ate it like a gobbler.
It was so tasty. Now that she was so satisfied and full, she wished to get home and resume her daily works. She grabbed her gown and when she was about to leave, a thought stopped her.
'Wouldn't it be rude to not give it back in personal? He gave such a beautiful thing just like that to a girl like me whom he only knows for a day or two...So shouldn't I return it in a proper way?'
She figured out and took the necklace along with her.
'Now.....I'll have to meet him again to return this...'
