~ They took me back to the room for a surprise. Aaron and JJ showed me some new features in the room. Across the left bedside wall, a gap space away from the balcony window, I had a makeup vanity set up for me.
On the same left side area, at the wall side near where the bedframe leaned up against that wall. I watched as Aaron pressed a button blended into the wall. Suddenly, the wall opens up horizontally apart into a door framing to reveal this large hidden walk-in closet.
It was filled with all kinds of clothing, jewelry, shoes, heels, and boots. Everything was neatly displayed in drawers, shoe racks, and hung up on hangers. It was set up like a true Queen, with how spacious the walk-in closet is. The items and clothing were very rich-looking.
I was completely amazed and asked. "Was this always here?"
JJ replied, "No, Cory wasn't using this spare closest space. While you were asleep he had Mike and I set everything up for you. This way you can wear anything you like and it all belongs to you now. Cory added in the makeup vanity set while we were doing your testing."
I looked at every inside the closet astonished by how beautiful the clothes and jewels are. I couldn't shake the thought from my mind and had to know.
Coming out of the closet. "Does Cory plan to marry me?" I nervously asked.
Without any expressions JJ said. "I can't say for sure because I don't have an answer." Seeing this uncertain worry expressed on her face, he added. "I wouldn't worry about it. You just need to relax and adjust to your rightful home. It's getting night, Aaron, and I will let you be. This way you can have some privacy."
Both men walked out of the room and left out the door. Leaving me to my thoughts. It was kinda so sudden the way they weirdly left, I thought.
As I glanced around the new items displayed on the vanity. I couldn't wipe off the amazement written on my face. Yet, I didn't understand, no one has ever given me such nice, wonderful, things.
I stepped inside the big huge closet again and started looking at the clothing, shoes, and jewelry with such perplexity. I couldn't fathom how nice the clothes are. Everything looked like it should belong to a Queen. I couldn't believe that JJ said everything was mine. I was in such disbelief that Cory would give me these beautiful clothes and gems. I had no understanding as to why he did this for me. Nor did I even understand what he wanted from me.
What was the reason why he kept me?
My mind kept pondering this back and forth. To ease it, I began opening up the drawers from inside my new closet and found beautiful diamonds, emeralds, rubies, opals, gems, and stones, many colors, and sizes. Including bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and even chokers. The length of every piece of jewelry was different. Even the dresses were different lengths. Each dress had a different style and my choice of colors with a ton of blues and black.
How did he know I like black? Oh, I remember now! From Maria, I had told her I wasn't into many colors.
Browsing around I also found plain clothing like Jeans, shirts, jean shorts, and simple skirts. Then I found things to wear for bed or just be comfortable in. I had shoes from plain wearable shoes to really nice sexy heels, sandals included, and heel boots.
Some of the footwear was dazzled by gemstones. Anything a girl could dream of was all available to me. Nothing was missing, I was completely set.
Walking out I looked at my large vanity, which was black with three long wide mirrors. The middle mirror was the largest and the two smaller mirrors were on each ending side. The vanity has a gothic style look to it. On top of the vanity make-up dresser, was layered in different size drawers in the back. Opening up a few drawers, inside each one has either makeup, hair accessories, or more jewelry to wear inside it.
On the lower floor drawers, I found a cordless straightener, curler, and blow dryer. It even had a beautiful black cushioned stool to sit on. Even by touching it, felt very comfortable. It was all so much for a girl like me who had nothing. Who lived my life as a slave having absolutely nothing to my nameless name.
Maybe I should just stay and make this place my new home, I thought for a brief second.
"No. I can't stay! And I won't stay!" I shake the idea out of my head.
These beautiful things could just be a trick to make me feel at home. This silly idea of Cory's won't work on me! But for now, I will just play along and figure out how to escape, I thought. I need to plan it out very carefully. This time don't get caught and I will never come back!
Suddenly, a chill hit my skin, I felt my temperature slowly drop. I walked over to the balcony door, looking out into the sky to see. The sun was dimming and it was darker compared to when I was running in the woods from trying to escape. A darker grey color was slowly blanketing the sky but I could faintly see the sunbeam in through the distance.
The sun phase will be soon heading into the dark phase. I guess there won't be any hurry on leaving. With the dark phase escape of course would be easier. However, I'd be too cold to fully function. Hybrid-men have it so much easier in the dark phase. It didn't affect them, because their body temperatures naturally raised.
For now, I guess it's time to head to bed. I shall plan my escape for tomorrow morning. After the first blinking sight, my eyes take to the morning raise.
From inside my closet, I picked out a pair of comfortable soft pants and a shirt. Then brushed my hair at the vanity. Afterward, I laid down on the left bedside. On the same wall side from Cory's balcony doors and across from the vanity. I found myself drifting off into sleep.
After a few hours of sleeping the door squeak's waking me up. So I laid there without any movement and acted like I was asleep. My heart pounded like thunder from beneath my chest. Like my heart was beating its way out of my upper ribcage. I could hear the quiet movements of someone in the room.
Faintly, I peeked my eyes open and saw it was Cory. So I studied him closely. He pulled the black curtains from the side to cover the doors and windows. Then walked into the bathroom closing the door. After some time, he came back out sighing from beneath his breath. I tried focusing on his steps but could hardly hear his very light-paced footing.
Suddenly, I could feel him on the opposite side of the bed and heard a boosting sound of a laptop. A dim light showed on the wall. Where I could see his shadow image moving from around the wall, noticing he was on a laptop. Then the light dimmed cutting out the shadowed image of his body. After that, I heard nothing as it all went into silence.
Not even his breathing could be heard causing this creepy feeling wave across my senses. I made myself stay up longer from not trusting him whatsoever. And knew he was on the bed, I could only feel him move every so often. I was wishing he'd leave but he didn't budge.
Eventually, I felt my eyes getting heavy and slowly I went back to sleep unable to fight my tiredness any longer.
