The bright blue sky slowly turns to light orange as the sun sets for the day bringing the dark night with shining twinkles of light above us.
"Papa!" said Andrew running to his father
"Yes, son?" he said
"I had an amazing time with Miss Elena today!" Andrew said
"Really? I'm glad my son that is very good to hear." said the chef
"Papa I want to come back here again!" said Andrew excitedly
"Sure son we will but now we got to go home. Thank you Miss Elena for taking care of my son I'm forever in your debt for making my son happy today." said the chef slowly bowing his head
"Oh that's not necessary and please call me Elena." I said
"Of course -Elena." said the chef
"Oh before I forget what is your name? I been meaning to ask." I asked
"My name is Fernando" said the chef
"Great! Now I know both of your names!" I said
"It's a pleasure!" said Fernando
"Papa we should go now. We don't want to miss the bus!" said Andrew
"Oh yes! Let's go!" said Fernando
"Bye Elena!! I'll see you tomorrow!" Andrew said
"Bye!!!" I said as Andrew and Fernando speedily fled to the outside gate to get to the bus.
"Whew what a day!" I said falling onto the bed tired as hell. My feet are paining from all that walking the whole day.
"Did you enjoy yourself today?" said a man
"Who's there?!?!" I said
I scan the room to see a figure sitting on a chair. I see the silhouette of a man he slowly gets up and approaches me with a wine glass in his hand.
"Richard! What were you doing in the dark! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I said irritated
He didn't respond but instead walks towards the outside balcony.
I don't want to follow him as it's none of my business in what he does, but something tells me he needs someone to talk to. So I follow him standing besides him. I look at the beautiful night scenery before gathering my courage to talk to him.
"Hey... Are you alright?" I said in a soft voice
"Yes." He said gulping down the remainder of his drink leaving the glass on the balcony wall and walks away.
(What's wrong with him! How can he leave an empty glass out here! Has he gone nuts!(Sighs) Well it seems that something is bothering him and he doesn't know how to solve it yet. I need to find out what's going on in this place! He is part of the Mafia so this definitely needs to be told to the world.)
And with that I bring in the empty glass leaving it on the cabinet and plop myself on to the big soft bed drifting into my beauty sleep.
Next day
The morning brings new hope for me as I think about a way out of here but I feel that something isn't right. My instincts tell me that I need to stay to find out what it is.
(Arggghh this is so annoying! Why must I do it! Doesn't he have a girlfriend? His good looks could get him any girl he wants underneath the sun like seriously come on!)
Yawning and stretching myself to the new day. I jump out of bed with an enthusiastic mind to do whatever I can to find out what is Richard's true reason on me being here.
"Is that what you do every morning?" Richard said coming out of nowhere
"Oh my gosh! Do you seriously want to give me a heart attack! Don't you know there is something called a door which you use to knock on before entering into a person's room!" I said angrily rising my voice
"(Chuckles) I do know what a door is and what it's used for but this is my place so I can go wherever I want to." He said
"As long as I'm here you will knock on that door right there before entering your place in which I'm sleeping in. Now leave." I said pointing to the door
"Just so you know I can come in here whenever I like so you better know that you are not in your home that you can just do things as you please (Stares)You need a new change of clothes which you will find in the walk in closet." Richard said
"Fine." I said
I agree to do whatever he wants for now as I still am determined to escape. Richard brings a yellow dress with golden embodiment of sunflowers on it which he gives to me to wear. I go the bathroom and change into this lovely dress.
"Okay!All done! But does this even look right on me?" I said to myself fixing the hem and shuffling the dress to look appropriate.
"You look beautiful in it." Richard said
"Why did you open the door!" I said
"I wanted to see you." He said
I don't know why but what he just said is giving me butterflies and I'm blushing!!!! I cover with my hands to stop the pink tints showing from my cheeks.
"Hahaha no need to be shy.(comes closer) You look beautiful and sexy all at once." He said in a whisper to my ears
(Arrghhh this making me blush even more!!!)
"I-I will go and meet you downstairs." I said and ran out of the bathroom.
"She still is cute as always" Richard said with a smile
