The streak of sunlight blinded me for a moment when I wake up the next day. The space which Pierre occupied the other day was cold and empty.
My entire body is stiff from sleeping longer than my usual hours. But I can bear it more than the pain I have experienced on my first day in Pierre's house.
Remembering my original contact person in Sussex, I get up only to find out my clothes had been changed. I am wearing a thin silky night dress without a top undergarment.
I screamed at the top of my lungs because of great mortification. And because of that, someone kicked the door open which only added to my shock. Glad I remember to cover my chest when my eyes captured Pierre's entrance.
"Who changed my clothes?"I ask him vehemently, I gues my face lits up. I could feel its warmth.
Pierre stared at me for a second before his posture finally relaxed. "I thought you were attacked by something."
"Who changed me?" I repeated.
"Bree. She's a relative of mine."
I thought tge name Bree is just a character in my dream.
"Okay,"I said, trying to relax myself. At least he didn't do it. But still, I'd let him hold me for hours while I was in this dress. With that thought my cheeks reddened and Pierre saw it.
He didn't see a thing but he cleared his throat before he approached the window and closed the curtain. "I'm guessing you feel better now."
Thinking about me being a burden for a day and overstaying at his place I uttered, "Yes! Don't worry, I'll move out of here when I'm done prepping myself. Just give me half an hour."
Pierre answered me with a low growl as his intense glare made me cowered back to bed. He wants me to leave now.
"I can't leave like this,"I said, trying to hide myself under the thick blanket. "I don't even know where my clothers are."
"Did I tell you to leave? I did not, didn't I? You will stay here." Well, he's too kind to let me stay already.
"I have to find Aleria, remember?"
"She'll return in due time."
"Can I atleast wear a decent clothes?"I ask, still feeling naked around him.
"You look decent to me," he replied.
"Just leave okay so I can change."
He sighed but started moving towards the door. "Meet me downstairs."
"Yes sir!"I said urgently.
He stopped and turned around. "I would really appreciate it if you'd never call me like that again."
"Noted."
Pierre closed the door behind him. I shouted, "thank you kind sir!" Just to annoy him.
I swear I heard him said 'Oh! For the love of the moon! If only she knows, I will definitely claim her for that.'
