Chapter 12: Shopping

It's been a week since, I've been in this gorgeous house and whenever I try to remember how I got here, my head starts throbbing seriously. Samantha says the master brought me in 'She calls blue eyes master' and I was in a really bad condition. I'm curious to know what happened to me, where I came from, I only remembered a few things about myself. 'I'm Ashley, I'm 20, I love vanilla and some other stuffs'. I need to know but the only person who can answer all of this is blue eyes but he's always out.

I'm currently in the kitchen with Samantha, enjoying her gracious pancake and OMG, it's so marvelous. I'm seated in only a shirt and a panty. Yeah I know inappropriate but what can I do, there's no single feminine cloth in that wardrobe and I need to change clothes. So I'm either in shorts and shirts or panties and shirts. I was busy enjoying my pancake until it almost got ruined. Almost.

Mr. Blue eyes walks into the kitchen with his expensive black suit. 'He's always on black'. He walks til he's close to me and he takes a seat beside ME!!!. Samantha quickly gets him a plate of pancake without him asking. I try to seem invisible and I eat all I can before I made to stand but he stopped me.

"Where are you going to?" He asks with a little frown which wasn't directed at me but the pancakes.

"To my- To the room" I corrected myself. 'This isn't my house. Do I have a house?'.

"Finish up your food" he says turning to his food.

"But I'm full" I said. But truly really I am full. He turns his full attention to me and now his beautiful face holds no emotion.

"This food isn't half finished, so I suggest you sit down". He says calmly.

"I am satisfied" I reminded him.

"Sit down" he says, leaving no space for argument. I sat down back, staring at the massive pancakes.

"Eat". He commands and I grabbed the fork, eating quietly. There was silence, filled with awkwardness and it didn't help my nervousness. I didn't like this tension and it was suffocating, I still haven't gone halfway through the food and I think I might explode.

"What's your name?" He breaks the silence which I'm so thankful for.

"A-Ashley" I replied. 'Why the hell did I just stutter'.

"Ashley" He tests the name on his tongue and my name sounded so great coming out of his mouth.

"Where are you from?" He asked and I frowned.

"I don't know" I said still racking my head. "Where are you family?" He asks, not giving a reply to my previous answer. 'My family? Do I even have one? I should have one, everyone does'. I thought really hard, ignoring the terrible throbbing. I soon felt his hands on mine and those sparks. I hadn't realised my hands were on my head till he took them and placed them on my naked thighs.

I stood up, heading upstairs, leaving him and the heavenly pancakes till he called me back. 'Not again'.

"There are clothes in your room, get dressed. We're leaving". He said and I nodded, turning back to the stairs.

"10minutes". He said calmly from downstairs but I still heard him. I got to my room and was met with clothes folded neatly. There was a pink hoodie, a black pair of pants, an underwear and lastly a bra. I wondered where we were going to, I wasn't excited just anxious to know where.

I didn't need a bath since I already took one, I just washed my face. When I got out, there was a pair of black heeled boots and a pink flip-flops. I looked around but didn't find anyone and I didn't hear the door open. I stopped wondering who could have entered when I remembered I had just, 10 freaking minutes. I rushed to the bed and slipped into every piece of fabric. The pants fitted perfectly well but the hoodie was way too big but I've got to use what I have, the boots weren't too high, it had a decent heel and I loved it.

I got downstairs and I walked into the kitchen but blue eyes wasn't there, instead there  was a man who told me he was outside. I've never been outside, so I was kinda excited to see it. Outside was wonderful, there were sounds of birds and everywhere was green, it was so so wide with trimmed grasses and cemented grounds.

"I'm not working today" I heard someone say and I turned. Beside a grey car stood Mr. Blue eyes. "Why can't you handle them" he asked, whoever he was talking to was obviously irritating him.

"Okay fine" he sighed and just then he looked at me.

"I'll be there" he said, cutting the call. "Get in" he said, holding the door. I walked closer and hopped into the car while he took lazy steps to the other side. Once he was in, we drove out of the driveway, heading to God knows where. 'Wow'. That's all I wanted to say, once the mansion was out of sight but I didn't. There were trees, all lined up giving the path, out of the forest some kinda of majestic entry. Their branches were touching each other and I wanted to touch them.

The ride to wherever we're going to was silent, awkward silent, nerve racking silent. I wanted to say something but I was too nervous to, I didn't want to upset him, so I kept quiet, fidgeting with my fingers and I sighed.

"What is it?" He asked annoyed which surprised me. 'What did I do?'.

"No-Nothing" I replied, biting my inner cheeks. 'Again Ash. Stuttering'.

"Then why do you keep sighing?" He asked. Have I been sighing? I didn't even notice. "I'm just bored". I said without stuttering, and this time he sighed. After a few moments he turns on the radio, which made me sigh out of relief.

We finally go to the city and whoa. The place was busy. Just as busy as a bee hive. People kept walking and walking, some were boarding buses while some were driving with kids. I kept gawking out the window till my view change. This part of the city wasn't so busy, in fact it was quiet and there were tall buildings. We drove into a wide premises and there, stood the tallest building in here. This obviously should be the tallest skyscraper, it was more than 50ft, opaque glasses covered the building. My lips parted in pure amazement.

"Let's go" Blue said, holding the door out for me. I didn't notice he'd stepped out. I got out and couldn't fight the urge to try to see the top, which was a fail, the sun stopped me once I threw my head back.

In the building was a large writing, it was so huge that even a blind man would see it. It wrote HERNANDEZ'S INSURANCE. We didn't go through the receptionist, we just passed, heading towards the elevator which took us straight up. Once we got to the 100th floor 'The highest floor' we were greeted by a lady in blue shirt and black suit pants.

"Good day, Mr. Hernandez" She said making Blue nod. "The directors are waiting in the conference room". she said and we walked away. We entered an office that actually made my footsteps come to a halt. This office screamed money, it was all black, the only source of light was through a massive window behind the desk. The desk interior and design were mind blowing, all black too with a few golden things, like the chair arm, the word Hernandez, and the pens.

"What are you doing?" I heard, making me head snap to blue. His icy blue eyes were taking in my every movement.

"Um... Nothing" I said, suddenly feeling intimidated by his gaze. "Stay here, I'll be right back" he said, leaving me in this massive room to myself.

I've been sitting here for God knows how long, I've laid on the cushions, stared at the busy city, played with papers, even tied my hair

Blue didn't tell me how long, he was gonna take and it seems like a life time, and very soon I'd just die of boredom. I'm currently sitting on the cushion again, laying on my back. My hands and legs up and I'm swinging them to a song I heard playing back in the car.  I suddenly hear the door click and I jumped, sitting straight.

"But you still have other meetings!!" Someone exclaimed, it was a guy. Blue walked in casually while a man with slick blonde hair trailed behind him.

"You can handle them, I'm not working today". "So what's gonna happen to those who have appointments with 'you'. The blonde man drew the last word.

"Cancel them" Mr. Blue eyes said nonchalantly. "What?!!!" He yelled making my ears ring.

"Keep your voice down" I said under my breath, and immediately their heads snapped towards me. 'Was I too loud?'. They kept staring at me and I felt utterly uncomfortable.

"Who's this?" The blonde asked with amazement laced in his voice. Mr. Blue frowned before he answered.

"Ashley" he said flatly, like I irked him. I felt a pang of hurt and I didn't know why.

"Nice to meet you Ashley". He said, now standing in front of me with his hand opened. I placed my hand in his and he helped me up slowly.

"I'm Dimitri, the CEO". He said with a sexy grin. "Um... Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Dimitri" I replied shyly.

"The pleasure's all mine" he said as he placed a kiss on my hand which made me blush.

"So tell me Ashley, why are you here" he asked smoothing my hand. Before I could even reply, a deep voice answered.

"She's with me" blue said. His voice laced with irritation. "Now let go of her hand, you're making her uncomfortable" he said already standing behind me.

"But she's not complaining" Dimitri said offering me a small smile. 'Of course'.

"I'm sure she doesn't want to be rude" he said now holding my hand, pulling it back. 'That's so not true'. "Now if you'll excuse us, I'd like to speak to Ashley". "Alright. Have a nice day Ashley". Dimitri said, dropping a wink as he left. I was still blushing when blue spoke.

"We're going to the mall" he said. "Okay?" I asked. "We're getting clothes and other items you'd be needing". He said flatly. 'What's his problem'.

"Alright" I said in a monotone. If he can use those annoying tone on me, then so can I. "Let's go" he said walking out.

The mall wasn't far from the company, so we got there in no time. The place wasn't so crowded, it was filled with men, women and children, well mostly women. These women wore shoes, high even to make one see heaven. I was stunned when I saw this lady running after her husband with her 6inched heels. 'Wow'. If I were her, my face would have kissed the ground thrice. I kept kept looking at the whole place in awe, while we walked into shops.

"You're not taking me to another sick shop again" I said turning to blue, who looked at me with questioning brow. I'm tired, like seriously. All the shops we've been to only sell stupid dresses, annoying underwear and Christ!!! 'PUSH BUTT PANTIES!!!'. I kept saying no to every and any stupid cloth, now we've spent an hour in 3 different shops.

"Why? You don't like them" he asks, like he just asked. "I hate them" I said with total disgust. "Okay. What do you like?" he asked. "I'll know when I see them" I said grabbing his hand, pulling him to another section. His hands were hot compared to my cold ones.

Finally we were shopping, I've been to 5 different shops and I come out with at least 3 bags. I told Alexander not to buy too much but he just says anything I look at, we're taking it. Like who shops like that. We are currently buying sleeping wears and the lady here's just busy throwing herself at Alexander, swaying her nonexisting ass, her dress is so revealing at the boobs side and she keeps bending, which is making me mad to the core. I understand, I'm not his girlfriend, so I'm not mad 'Lair'. I mean he looks like a Greek god, so which lady wouldn't flirt or try to get his attention. With that thought I just ignored her.

The shop has a lot of lingerie but I'm sticking to my loose shorts and mini shirts. I'm also taking some lingerie but they are decent.

"Are you done?" Xander asks once I'm out of the cloth rows. "Yeah this should be enough" I said showing him the 5 clothes I picked and he sighed. 'Have I done something wrong'. He stands up, walks up to me in slow strides, collects the clothes, gives it to a lady, then he grabs my hand, taking me back to the rows. "Those aren't enough" he said after a few seconds.

"But they are" I argued back. "You've been spending since we got here and I don't want to spend your money but still you insist and now I'm telling those clothes are enough". I literally just blabbed everything out.

"Look, there's no way you've started spending my money. You haven't even started shopping to me. And don't worry, I'm the one spending so it's fine". He said. "Now please take what you like or I'll help you out".
