Wednesday Morning
Bram's blaring alarm woke me up. He was lying face down towards my direction. He was snoring lightly, unbothered by his own alarm.
"Bram?" I said as I sat up. I did not get a response from him so I touched his left upper arm and shook it slowly. He squinted at me then I pointed at his noisy phone. He slowly got up and took his phone from the nightstand. He rubbed his eyes as he turned his alarm off.
I laid down again and covered myself with a blanket. I pulled it up to my chin. I yawned and closed my eyes.
"Are you going back to sleep?" I heard Bram say.
"Yes," I answered without opening my eyes. I adjusted my head on my pillow to make myself comfortable.
"You didn't check the changes in your schedule last night?" Bram asked me.
I opened my eyes and glared at him. I reached for my phone and opened the new message from Maria. It showed that I needed to go to CJ Modal's studio again for my gown. Bram's induction would be this Friday. The message said that Roberto requested my visit and that it was urgent.
I sighed and bit my lip. I looked at Bram's direction, he was leaning on the doorway with arms crossed to his chest, "Want to join me in the shower?" he asked with a smirk.
My left eyebrows raised, "Don't you have a bathroom of your own?"
I removed my blanket and got off the bed. I was about to walk towards my cabinet when Bram grabbed and carried me.
"Put me down!" I said struggling, "I'm going to get ready."
"Let's shower together," he said while he carried me inside the bathroom.
We ended up running late because Bram made love to me in the shower then went to his room to get dressed. I decided to wear a dress that I could easily remove and put back on during the fitting. I opened the door of my middle cabinet and looked for my yellow trapeze dress. I was supposed to wear it in Siquijor but was not able to. I could not find it.
I opened the other cabinet doors. Maybe Maria placed it in the lingerie cabinet by mistake, but it was not there. So I tried the other empty cabinets and gasped, it was now filled with different kinds of dresses. My eyes widened when I flipped one of the tags and saw the amount. I opened the two other mirrored doors and it was filled with jeans, pants, folded tops, bags, accessories and different kinds of footwear. I stepped back just to see the amount of clothing that was in front of me.
I found my yellow trapeze dress neatly folded together with the other tops. I put it on and removed the towel off my head. I quickly blow dried my hair and put on a yellow headband. I scanned the shoe cabinet to find anything below four inches. I found a yellow flat sandal that has a sharp pointy toe, the sling at the back was a circle shaped chain and it had a metallic heel.
It was the same brand that I wore in Bram's office. I picked up some circular gold earrings in the accessory cabinet and put them on. I stepped back and stared at myself in the mirror. I shook my head and giggled. I definitely looked expensive.
I rolled my eyes and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I just started to brush my teeth when I heard a knock at the door. I made my way over and opened it and saw Maria. I opened it wide and walked back towards the bathroom.
"Sir Bram is waiting for you by the elevator, madam," Maria said after she greeted me. She was standing near the foot of my bed.
I finished brushing my teeth and wiped my mouth with a towel. I checked my bare face in the mirror one last time and went out. I threw all my stuff inside the yellow quilted Chanel bag and went out towards the elevator. I saw Bram as he stood by the elevator; he looked very handsome. He was staring at me with a smug look on his face.
"What?" I asked as I stood beside him.
"You look pretty," he commented on my yellow ensemble.
I gave him a sideway glance and said, "Thank you!"
He smiled and put up his left arm to check the time, "I forgot my watch, come on!"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards his room. I had never seen his room before. My mouth dropped when he opened one side of the double doors. He let go of my hand and went to another room. Bram has his own living space here.
It was definitely twice the size of my room. His balcony had a better view of the mountain but it had no plants. I remembered when I was in Siquijor there were plants when he called. His balcony was just filled with covered gym equipment.
"So how do you find the master bedroom?" Bram was putting on his watch and stared at the balcony too.
"It's big," I answered him with a smile.
He walked towards me after securing his watch then he held my hand and pulled me towards the door, "Well, it was meant for two people so it should be big."
I stopped on my tracks and frowned, "What do you mean?"
He stopped walking too. I pulled my hand from his and waited for his answer. We stared at each other for a moment.
"This was supposed to be our room," he told me as he looked straight into my eye.
"Then why did Maria bring me to the room that I'm using now?" I asked. Irritation was building up inside me.
Bram shook his head and just stared at me. I was looking at him intently. He gulped and released a long breath, "Because I told her too."
I looked down at the floor. My eyes blinked rapidly as I tried my best not to cry in front of him. I felt insulted and rejected. My heart was beating so fast and anger was flaring up inside me.
I glared at him and said, "I will have Jonas drive me. You drive your own car, you scumbag!" Then I walked out of his room.
