Secrets

Chapter 2 My New Home

I was left in the room with the taller man. He walks up to me with a scowl and says, "You can relax; the real threat to you has left."

I slowly take my arms down but I am still tensed and ready to bolt.

"There are towels in there, soap, shampoo - the works. A new toothbrush is also there for your leisure."

He walks out and closes the door, leaving me alone in this beautiful room once again.

I sigh in relief and march over to the door to ensure it was locked. Next, it was time to take advantage of this bathroom. When I entered, it's like I never left the bedroom. The same peach colored walls and cream accents were found in here. There was a large porcelain tub near a window and an even larger shower. I look out the window to find that I was certainly not on the ground floor. I'd say we are at least thirty feet high. A figure is seen down there, it was the man from earlier. It was the backyard it seemed. He was petting two large dogs who eagerly jumped around ready to play with him. He was even cuter than before.

His eyes suddenly shot upward and he looks me right in my eyes. I jump and quickly close the curtains for the window.

I may as well get started.

The room was nice and warmed. The tiles seem to have heaters built into them. I strip and enter the shower. I haven't had one of them in a long while so I basked in the pleasure of the hot water while I filled the bathtub. I really want to soak but I was too dirty for that at the moment.

Finally clean, I hop into the tub and lay my head on the cushion. I'm going to relax while I can. I don't know what this place has in store for me, but I'm going to take a few minutes of luxury while I can. I should make my escape. Except, I don't know where I am.

This has to be the boujie part of town since there were big houses all around. I don't know how far we are from the city since I fell asleep, so this is going to be tough.

◾️◽️◾️

After a slight nap in soak, I put on my new clothes and go into the room. Its still empty, thankfully. My hair is wrapped into a towel, but I take it out and twirl it into a bun at the back of my head for simplicity.

Now, I'm sweating.

I begin to shiver.

My skin is burning and I have a shortness of breath.

Shit, I really needed something.

The withdrawals from not having drugs in my system hit me hard. I drool to the point where my mouth gets frothy and my nose leaks. I crawl to the bed shakily in an attempt to wrap myself in a blanket, but I know I'm not cold. I stay like this for another ten minutes until this wave passes. When it does, I wipe my mouth and try to stand up steadily.

I open the door to the hall to find them empty. I run quietly through them and down the staircase, pleasantly surprised no one has stopped me yet. Again, I am relieved too soon. Strong arms encase me from behind and lifts me into the air. I look up to find that it was the same man from earlier in the foyer. Looks like he just got back inside.

How long was I asleep?

I kick and scream for him to let me go, but he ignores my pleas and punches. I watch as the front door disappears from my view slowly, watching as it reaches further from my grasp. He takes me into what seems to be the living room.

I tremble even worse than before and drool again. I can't help it. He seems to notice this and looks back at me for the first time.

"Shit," he mutters when he sees my condition. He prostrates me on the white leather couch and feels my forehead for a fever. Then he notices my excessive drool and humming like my teeth were set on edge.
