'Wow! What a mansion!' was the thought that came to my mind when I finally reached the client's house around 12'o clock in New York.
I am much relieved by the fact that by the time my nightmares occur, I will safe in bed away from any crowd.
I was walking inside, searching for a watchman or someone when suddenly a hand touched my shoulder.
I jumped in fear and shouted loudly.
"Sorry mam, I am really sorry!" A man in his late thirties apologized to me continuously in the hope to calm me down.
"Shit! You scared me!" I said, panting in fear.
"I am sorry!" He said looking down at his feet.
"It's okay. What do you want?" I said as politely as possible hoping that I won't sound too rude.
His face suddenly snapped at me and started smiling at me.
Not gonna lie, that's hella creepy dude.
"I am the watchman here. I was coming from outside to see you searching for someone. So, I thought I should help you." He said chuckling nervously.
"Helping me by scaring the hell out of me!" I said raising an eyebrow in a mock question.
He just ribbed his nape awkwardly.
I sighed before introducing myself.
I am the wedding planner who Mr. Salman asked for. I came a day early. He asked me to stay here at his house till the wedding because there will be a lot to plan for the parties and games." I said with a small smile to be polite.
"Oh!" He said before asking me to follow him.
He left me at the door before going to continue his job.
I knocked on the large modern door, waiting for someone to open it.
A maid opened the door who was somewhat in her late forties.
I smiled at her while explaining the reason why I was here at this hour.
She nodded understandingly before asking me to follow her to a large door which I guess was the master bedroom of my client.
The lady knocked on the door softly.
A man in his late twenties opened the door just in his boxers with his hair messy and a frown on his pink lips annoyed at why someone should disturb him in his pretty sleep.
"What, Mary?" He asked with his half eyes closed in half-sleep with irritation.
"Sir, There is a guest in our home. She claimed that she is a wedding planner asked by you. Shall I make her settle here?" She asked gently smiling.
I came forward for his eyes to see.
Finally, when he saw me, his eyes widened in surprise. His sleep slipped away in a second like that.
I looked at him in confusion, as he closed his eyes while seeming to concentrate on something.
Without opening his eyes, he said his words in a low voice to Mary.
"You can go, Mary!" He breathed out.
Mary disappeared obediently.
I will be lying if I am saying that I don't find him hot.
He is super hot.
When he opened his eyes, his green eyes went a few shaded darker I jumped lightly in fear.
"What...is...that..?" I stuttered while pointing at his eyes.
"Are you a wolf?" He asked stepping closer to me.
I took a step back while shaking in fear.
He looked......raw and primal almost like an animal.
"What are you saying? Wolf? Are you mad?" I said in a weak voice.
He suddenly stopped, halted in his place without a movement.
"You don't know?" He asked, his squinted in confusion.
On seeing my fear, He closed his eyes before opening them with the same ordinary color which was there before.
"What is that?" I asked afraid of him.
"Nothing. It may be my contact lens. Don't be afraid." He said before stepping back from me.
"No...! But..." I stuttered not knowing how to express my question.
"What is your name?" He asked distracting me.
"Natalia!" I said in still a fear-filled voice.
I am not convinced by him.
"Natalia, you can ask Mary for a room to stay in. MARY!!" He called his maid.
In an instant, she was before him.
While they were discussing something, I was focused on his eyes which are ordinary now.
Was it a dream?
But even if it was, why I was not afraid enough to run away from here?
Why does it feel like it was familiar?
Like it was a common thing.
Like I have seen this a thousand times.
I can't understand.
When Mary asked me to follow me, I was about to turn when I found him looking at me intently like trying to find something.
When I caught him looking, he smiled before closing his room.
I quickly ran to catch up with Mary.
"Mary! Have you seen his eyes? It changed moments ago!" I asked her hoping that she will give me some clarity.
"What! What are you saying? I think you have imagined it!" Mary chuckled before walking forward dismissively.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts before going to my room.
