Chapter 8 Damon's Room

  • Ady's POV
  • 'Aah, geez, I have goosebumps...'
  • As the brisk breeze brushed my back, I gently scratched my nape. Having felt my hair instantly stand on end, I spun around to find the source of the discomfort. When we entered the room, the air conditioner automatically opened. When you think about it, that room is so clean and organized that it doesn't look like a man lives there.
  • "Waah!"
  • Elsa's voice came from the bathroom, which made me turn around. I tossed my backpack on the ground and ran towards the restroom.
  • "Oh my gosh!" Elsa screamed out again. "Look at how nice the bathroom is, and..."
  • A puff of breath escaped my mouth. My heart seemed to drop at that moment. I never thought that Elsa was just too amazed in the bathroom. With a grimace, I turned away from Elsa and headed toward a couch.
  • 'Why isn't there a bed here? Isn't he sleeping?' I thought.
  • I looked across the other book-filled shelf the same height as my hip level. I s it down and scanned the neatly arranged books.
  • 'God, he reads too much. I didn't know there were still men who liked to read.′ I thought.
  • I took a deep breath as my eyes caught on the glass window, and I walked closer. I couldn't help but be in awe as I took in the vastness of the whole city and all of its lovely lights emanating from the cars and the many kinds of businesses. It looks like the stars from below.
  • 'Nice!'
  • The view from there is so breathtaking that it makes me question whether or not it is as stunning in the morning. I took another look inside. When Damon seems so wealthy, I first doubt that he is. Elsa didn't come out of the restroom at any point, so I had no idea what she was doing there.
  • I was startled when the front doorbell rang, and I instantly turned to the front door. When I opened it, I saw the woman who led us to this room.
  • "Hi, Ma'am, good evening," she said with a smile. I took a quick look at the cart behind her. There are pillows and blankets there. There's a paper bag included as well. "Ma'am, may I come in and put them?"
  • "Ah, o-okay." I moved slightly to let the woman pass.
  • She entered the room after gathering the bedding. She placed them on the couch, went outside for paper bags, and then gave them to me.
  • I took it with a scowl. "What is this for?" That is a question that has me thinking.
  • "You clothes. "Ma'am, the red paper bag is for you."
  • "Huh? Oh, it's only for the night..." "I said awkwardly.
  • The woman smiled and turned back on me after taking the blankets and pillows. She got closer to the couch bed and made it cozier by laying a blanket on it. I watched the woman while she was doing it. After that, he set up the couch with a blanket and pillow.
  • "Um, Miss, may I ask you a question?" I asked the woman.
  • The woman looked at me and waited for me to say something.
  • "Um, I was just wondering why there wasn't a bed here." I have a curious question.
  • "The young master prefers a sofa bed."
  • 'Young master?'
  • After rearranging the couch, the lady turned to face me. "There are robes and nightgowns stored in the closet of the bathroom. They are available for your use. I'll bring the food, Ma'am. Before I leave, would you like my assistance with something?"
  • "Huh? Nothing. Thanks." I said I was a little scared. I've never been treated like this before. As if I'm a wealthy heir.
  • "Then I'm going to leave." The woman gave a brief nod and then left.
  • I put a hand on my chest. "Jeez, I feel weird." I blew out air.
  • Taking a seat on the couch, I opened the paper bag and looked inside. When I opened the paper bag, I was shocked to see garments inside. There are branded clothes, underwear, and shoes inside.
  • 'Oh my gosh, is this serious?'
  • Also, there is a pack of underwear. When I looked at the bra size, I was surprised.
  • "Shoot, how did that girl know my bra size?"
  • The doorbell rang again, so I hastily stuffed my belongings into the paper bag and opened the door.
  • When the woman returned, she saw a cart next to her and thought it was full of food.
  • "Ah, come in..." I said to the woman.
  • The woman was busy setting the table for dinner, so I quickly went to Elsa to the bathroom. I knocked on it, but she didn't open it, so I opened it and looked inside. But the lady approached me before I could even look at her.
  • "Dinner is ready, Ma'am," the woman said.
  • When I looked down, I found the bottle of wine there, which surprised me a bit.
  • "U-uh, thanks." I just said.
  • The woman nodded, turned her back on me, and hurriedly left the room. I took a deep breath and entered the bathroom. I was surprised to see Elsa in the jacuzzi and enjoying it.
  • "Elsa, what the hell are you doing?" I asked as I walked toward her. I glanced around. "Shit!"
  • "Can you blame me, Ady, for not leaving? This place is so beautiful that it has become my favorite."
  • As I examined the sink, I saw a wide variety of toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and shaving supplies. You may also find colognes and other fragrances in the storage space.
  • A pleasant aroma filled the space. I turned to Elsa.
  • "Elsa, it's awkward. Damon could claim afterward that we took advantage of his generosity. Go up there! Our dinner is now ready. There is also a paper bag for you. It's on the couch bed, where you'll be sleeping."
  • "Paper bag?" Elsa asked, frowning.
  • "Get up there, now," I said while looking inside the closet where the woman said there were pajamas we could use. Instinctively, I grabbed whatever caught my eye and placed it in the sink. "This is what you're going to wear to bed. Let's have dinner ."
  • I didn't wait for Elsa to say more before I left the bathroom.
  • "She feels at home!" I said as I gently rubbed my forehead.
  • Elsa walked out of the toilet shortly afterward, dressed in the clothing I had given her, and joined me at the table. Again, she was amazed at how the table was set up. She immediately sat down, and we ate dinner together.
  • "It's nice to be friends with Damon," Elsa said. "Can't you see? We can spend one night feeling like a princess. "Isn't it too much?"
  • "Do you know he's rich, I mean Damon?" I asked Elsa.
  • "Yeah, there's a hint that he's rich, but not like this. Shit, he looks like a young master." Elsa said in amazement.
  • Instantly, the woman's words came back to my head. 'Young master.'
  • "But isn't that surprising? How does he sleep if he doesn't have a bed? It means...." said Elsa.
  • "He likes the sofa bed!" "He hasn't brought any other girls home but us!"
  • After hearing what Elsa said, I couldn't help but grimace. "What? And what exactly are you saying? Why did that suddenly come to mind?"
  • "But why not?" Elsa said. Once we were done eating, Elsa drew me over to the glass wall from which we could view the whole city. "Not only is Damon gorgeous, but he is also the epitome of a true gentleman and brilliant. He has everything a woman could want; he's a real-life modern prince charming."
  • "Elsa, a prince charming doesn't exist," I said, then turned my back on Elsa. "I'm going to sleep because we're leaving early tomorrow."
  • "What? Can't we get along first? Just for one night, let's bond."
  • "Fine. But only until 10 in the evening."
  • Elsa's smile got bigger when I said that, and she immediately pulled me back to the table and filled a new glass with wine. It was the exact wine I had at the acquaintance party.
  • Jasper also called me to tell me that grandma was okay and that he had dinner at home. Even though I couldn't be with my grandma, I felt a sense of peace knowing that someone reliable was taking care of her in my absence.
  • As was said, Elsa quickly fell asleep. He is already sound asleep on the sofa bed, and I have taken my place on the sofa. With a sigh of relief, I inhaled deeply.
  • "Wow, this soft couch feels so good. It feels like being hugged by a soft cloud, and the cold air from the air conditioner makes it feel even better. My eyes finally closed after what seemed like an eternity.
  • The next thing I knew, I felt a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. And the weird feeling in my chest that moved toward my throat. My throat was full of water.
  • "Miss, wake up! Miss!"
  • It sounded like a woman's voice. Who is that woman? A few minutes later, I felt water coming out of my mouth. Lots of water makes me cough.
  • "Miss, are you alright? Don't worry. You are safe!"
  • I opened my eyes to see the owner of those voices, but my body just couldn't. I noticed a strange creature that suddenly jumped in front of me toward the man whose face I couldn't see.
  • 'What is that?'
  • The shock of falling on the couch jolted me awake. I sucked air into my lungs as I craned my neck. I looked for a moist spot or a cut but found neither, so I held my head as a relief.
  • 'Who is that man, and why does he continue to come to see me in my dreams? Why is it that I can't see his face? And a woman., who is she?'
  • My phone interrupted my thoughts. I took it to the coffee table. It's 2:00 AM, and Elsa and I must wake up and get ready for school by 3 AM.
