Chapter 7 'Freshen'
"Aurora!" My father shouted.
Two strong hands lifted me up and held me tight.
"Jesus Aurora, what the hell!" Jayden said frighteningly.
Jayden pressed me against a wall.
"Look at me!" He commanded.
I had closed my eyes and they are still closed.
"Aurora!" And he pushed me harder against the walls.
Hell naw that I am going to look in his eyes who knows what I come across!
I could feel his cold breath in my face. Jayden sighed.
All right then.
I slowly opened my eyes and I saw two red eyes staring at me.
Good gracious! I noticed now how close he was standing by me!
"I was given the task to protect you, but you make it so very difficult for me, Aurora!" Jayden said irritably.
"W.what?" I said anxiously.
I shaked very much, like very much. Jayden sighed.
"I will take you to your room first, I can explain everything to you and you can also explain some things to me!"
"Oh, okay then." I had no idea what to say.
Jayden lifted me up and walked inside. He held me tightly and I held him tightly too.
"Jayden!" My father called him.
Jayden stepped back and turned to my father.
"Yes?"
"Is she sleeping?" I closed my eyes as if I were sleeping.
Jayden pushed me a bit away to see if I was asleep and pulled me back against him.
"Yes."
"I just want to thank you for protecting her and for saving her. You're the strongest and the fastest in here, so I could never have done that, that's why I chose you."
"No problem, I like a challenge." He was grinning.
'A challenge?!'
"I wanted to protect her myself, but you know how busy I am with getting the Black Souls away from her."
They really do protect me..
Shit I am so stupid!
"And you are ten times as fast and stronger than me, so yeah and I really want her to be well protected and I know you take care of that, because Aurora is really everything to me and Myra of course."
"Will Myra come by sometime?"
"Yes, yes of course, but first Aurora has to process all of this."
"Yes, she completely lost it. You could tell by her actions of just now"
Whoops..
"But I will bring her upstairs and I can talk to Aurora when she wakes up."
¨Yes good do you also give her a tour of the house when she is ready? ¨
"Will do, Vincent."
He went upstairs to my room and put me in bed and tucked me in.
"Why are you making it so difficult for me Aurora." He murmured.
"I know you are not sleeping, Sugarplum." He said jokingly
"Why do you always call me 'Sugarplum'? I have a name you know." He rolled his eyes.
"I have no idea I thought it was an appropriate nickname for you."
"Okay."
"Your father is really worried about you, you know, you really have to act less recklessly!"
I wanted to say something, but Jayden started talking again.
"If we wanted to kill you, why should I risk my life for you?" And he came to sit next to me.
He has a point there.
"Yeah, you are right." I sighed.
"At least you can say thank you for saving your life, Sugarplum." I sighed
"Thank you, Sour Plum."
"'Sour Plum' are you serious?" He looked annoyed.
"Well yes." I gave him a challenging look. He rolled his eyes.
"Well tell me Aurora what really happened between you and Mike?" He said very mature and serious
"Did my father ask you to be my psychologist?" I said catty and sarcastically
"Mi-auw." I started to laugh.
"Well tell me, Sugarplum."
"Very well then, you walked out of the meeting room or whatever it may be. And I kept seeing Mike grin at me in the corners of my eyes and I said something about it. He walked towards me very sadistically, he grabbed me by the throat and threw me against the mirror. The mirror broke and I laid on the floor between the glass fragments and I picked up a few, so that's why I had these shards with me. I only had them with me if it was really necessary and well it was really necessary, so yes that is what happened."
"Why didn't you tell me right away?" He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
"Because he said that his boss -and I thought he was talking about my father- wanted to kill me and I thought if I told that I was immediately thrown into the dungeon." He sighed
"Why is the bruise not healed?"
"Because it wasn't there then when I gave you my blood. It came later."
"That makes sense." I murmured
"It's been a while since you've eaten something, are you hungry?"
"Now I think of it, a little bit, yes."
"Um, are there other clothes for me too?"
"Yes I will pick some for you."
Jayden disappeared through the door towards the corridor, I walked to the bathroom, I threw some water over my face. That felt nice and fresh to me. I looked at myself in the mirror, I had bags under my eyes from here to Tokyo. Jeez I look bad!
I was curious what was in the dressing table, maybe some makeup? and perfume and deo, because I really smell bad.
I walked to the dressing table and there were four drawers in it.
Hair products contained in the upper. The one below contained different perfumes and deodorants. The third one contained various makeups and facial products like foundation, concealer, blush, contour palettes and bronzer. The bottom contained eye products and lip products, eye pencil, eyeliner, eyebrow brush and pencil, mascara, eye shadow, lipstick and lip glosses.
Hell yes!
"Ah, you've already found the makeup and care products?" Jayden said with a smile, I turned around.
"What do you think I am a girl after all." I said sarcastically he laughed.
"Here" He put a large box on my bed.
"Are you ready in 15 minutes?"
"Sure."
"Great, I am waiting in the corridor." I nodded at him. He disappeared through the door.
I walked over to the box and it all had nice items of clothing in it.
"Looks good" I murmured.
I grabbed a pair of black high waist pants and a navy green colored crop sweater with a black rose embroidered on the left side of the chest. When I put on the clothes I put on some makeup and some concealer to get rid of my bags and I put some red lipgloss and my lips for some color, some blush to give my face some color, bronzer and some mascara and that was it for the makeup.
I sprayed some perfume and deodorant on me because that was really needed.
I looked at myself in the mirror 'much better' I said to myself and walked over to Jayden to eat.
