REBECCA'S POV
I woke up with a pounding headache, it felt as though I was run over by a moving train, I tried to get up from my bed, wait, wait my bed? No no, this bed is just comfortable and soft to be mine.
I looked around the unfamiliar room with great difficulty the pain in my head blocking out all rational thought, this wasn't my room, how did I get here, I looked around the room my eyes scanning for a clock, I turned my head towards the window when I couldn't locate one, it was the morning I was sure, the morning light seeping through the closed curtains although I couldn't tell the exact time.....
I groan as I tried to stand up from the bed the pain I felt in my head telling me otherwise, maybe I went to the club and had probably gotten so drunk with Julia and probably went home with a guy, I gasped in horror at that thought, I raised the cover and was relieved to find out I was still clothed in my PJs. Where is Julia anyways?
I closed my eyes trying to remember
I saw fire, the flames were everywhere in my house, the stranger, the fire, everything came rushing like a mighty storm, it overwhelming, my head was spinning I couldn't hold back the tears, I felt as though my whole life was over, I didn't even know if I should thank the stranger for saving me or blame him for disrupting my life.
I could have been dead, I just couldn't believe it, somebody wanted me dead, but who and why?, What did I do?, And why was that man there to save me.
I had so many questions with no answers,
maybe it was a coincidence, maybe they got the wrong person, maybe this was just a mistake, a horrible nightmare I was going to wake up from any minute.
I groan my head hurts from thinking too much.
I laid back on the bed still and stiff as the door to the room clicked and opened pretending to be asleep.
I felt a presence beside the bed and shut my eyes very tight.
"I know you are awake, here take this"
I slowly opened my eyes to meet cold ones, his eyes were so cold, I wondered if they were ice in them, I looked away unable to hold his gaze
"Thank you," I said to him, I couldn't be more grateful, I took the pills and decided I was going to lie down a little longer, I closed my eyes again trying to contain the pains I was feeling.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but your questions will be answered in due time, If you want to keep your life, I advise you do as you are told," he said looking at me. The boss will see you soon.
I opened my eyes to look at him, I was scared of him, slowly and reluctantly nodding my head. And what boss was he taking about?
"What is your name", I asked with little hope of getting an answer, I waited in silence for a moment, already giving up on getting an answer, I closed my eyes wanting to fall asleep.
was the last thing I heard before I succumbed to the drowsiness I was feeling.
*************
I woke up for the second time in the day feeling much better, I got up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom, I opened the door at the right end of the room, it was a walk-in closet the size of my entire apartment I stood with my mouth open it was filled with clothes, not just any clothes, but female clothes my size, looks like someone was expecting me, I closed the door and walked to the opposite side of the room, opened the door and to my relief, it was the bathroom, I was badly pressed, I walked in quickly not forgetting to lock the door behind me, I didn't trust that stranger, there was a fucking jacuzzi in the bathroom everything was made of sliver or well it looked like it, I didn't know if it was real sliver, I was careful, I didn't want to spoil anything. I went to work immediately. I peed and washed, I opened the cabinet to look for a toothbrush and luckily I found a new one, I looked at my reflection from the mirror as I brush my teeth, my eyes were red and buffy, my hair a mess on my head, I took my bath, trying as much as possible to avoid getting my hair wet.
After I wrapped myself with a towel. I took care of my hair letting my curls fall loose.
The next problem hit me, I need clothes, I can't wear my dirty clothes and in the room was a closet full of clothing, so I guess I could borrow some.
I unlocked the door and walked out to make my way to the closet as fast as possible.
"Who the hell, keeps a closet so far from the bathroom". I murmured to myself.
"You took long enough." a very male voice spoke from the chair beside the bed.
I froze on the spot already halfway across the room, holding the towel closer to my body, I turned to look at him, it was a different voice and an entirely different man sitting there looking at me square in eyes, his eyes grey and captivating.
I looked into his eyes lost for a moment at the beauty it held yet in contrast with the coldness it emits He held my gaze for a moment or more I don't know, then his eyes went downwards, first my chest region and downwards I grip the towel harder this time feeling self-conscious, he brought his eyes back to my face expressionless.
Who are you?
He eyes met mine one more time and I felt toasted.
He face was gorgeous, like he was heavily handsome.
His face was blank like no expressions at all, if he heard my question he didn't acknowledged it
"come out in five minutes or forget about dinner"
his voice was deep and hot like it was made in the movies and right now I didn't know what was wrong with me.
he got up to leave,
"Wait hmmm can I borrow some clothes please," I requested politely.
"Yes" and with that, he walked out and closed the door behind him, I stood there for a moment trying to compose myself,
" What the hell just happened".
I quickly walked to the closet.
I wore jeans shorts and a t-shirt.
I took a deep breath to calm myself, my neck hot with embarrassment, what an embarrassing encounter, he didn't even allow me to speak, so rude, oh but his eyes, I couldn't help but think about his blue eyes, the way he looked at me, oh boy I need Jesus, cause my thoughts are running 1000 miles per seconds, oh stop, just stop, why was I so attracted to him, but wait who wouldn't be, he was so handsome like a Greek god I had to stop myself his whole being screamed danger, I didn't know him and besides he kidnapped not him directly but he was part of it,
more like rescued you, my self-conscious mind said, yeah whatever, I needed answers, I knew the first guy said no questions, but I didn't care, I need to know what's happening and very quickly.
I was hungry, so damn hungry, I slept for a long time, I walked out of the room into a hallway with so many doors and so expensive looking, I followed the sweet and delicious aroma down the stairs and into a large room, turned out to be the kitchen, I walked in and immediately every eye was on me, I looked around the kitchen, counting four hot men.
"God where did all these hot men come from", I thought standing in the door awkwardly looking from one man to another,
"Ho ho ho", one of the guys whistled.
"Mama Cita", another Injected.
"Damn damn damn hot, my cheek flamed up immediately.
"Hi I'm Tango, I'm glad to make an acquaintance with such a beautiful lady like you, he took my hand, kissing it, he was blond very blond with green eyes, he was handsome, I gave him a smile and nice to meet you too. The others took turns, Alan also blond but with grey eyes, Ryker dark brown hair, blue eyes, and finally Jake jet black hair with grey eyes, kissing my hands, each trying to undo the other in giving me compliments, I blushing thank you to all of them." This man looked like they could crush me with one blow and here they were been nice.
"Becca",
Tango called out to me as though he was in deep thought, you know what, I'm going to call you my Becca, then you can call me Tango baby, he said winking at me,
Becca and Tango going to Tango anytime you want to Tango just call Tango,
you get it right?
he said giving me a wink, I laughed out loud already feeling a little bit at ease
"Why should she call you,
Becca baby I'm your man anything you want you can even call me Alan or more importantly honey",
Alan gave me a kissy face.
"yeah sure but I think I will pass thank you Tango and Alan" I said to both of them.
Ryker as I got to know was the man that brought me here and the one I met in the morning just stared quietly at me.
I sat at one of the sits and my food was placed in front of me, I quietly eat my dinner feeling all eyes on the table on me, I wasn't going to let my guards down, just because there were nice to me, I was smart enough to know that.
We eat dinner with Alan and Tango chatting noisely between themselves arguing back and forth. It was kind of weird to think that these people were killers,
"Yes I do, I said meekly, mentally preparing myself for the confrontation I was about to begin "why I'm here", what is going on? I asked not meeting his gaze but looking at the floor instead, I felt his eyes on me studying me after a brief moment of silence I heard him say to me
"I'm going to tell you all you need to know and nothing more"
he said
"well some people want you dead and I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen, so as long as they are after your life, you are going to remain under my protection, do you understand",
"No I don't understand, my mind was twirling and my thoughts were everywhere, I needed answers and this man is telling me I can't get them
"Who wants me dead?, who are you?, And why are you protecting me,
What happened at my house was not an accident, I need to know everything, it's my life on the line here and I don't even know what or who I'm running from". I said getting angry at the thought of dying.
"I have told you all I can for now", Zachery said challenging me with his eyes to question him,
I took a deep breathe feeling frustrated
"Okay but how long will I be staying here, what about my job, the police are bound to find out"
"It has been taken care of was his only reply.
"What about Julie, my friend, I need to call her, she would be worried sick about me, please".
"You can't do that, but don't worry, Julie is fine we took care of it, as I said all you need to do is follow orders and you will be safe, but if you want to die, disobey me and they can have you, Zachery said getting up to leave.
"So what should I do, I can't just sit around doing nothing all day, where are you going,?"
I asked him also getting up from the chair. He looked at me brought his hands to brush his hair backward,
"Now listen to me, I don't care what you do, and where I'm going is none of your business, try to stay out of my way", he said looking at me with his eyes ever so grey eyes and if you need anything just go to any phone around the house, dial 5124, you will get answers, do you understand and you must only call when it's important.
"Okay I said not looking at him, he scares me but I will not have hit he went out the same way the other guys had, I sat down feeling very angry at myself and everything most especially Zachery
" Why would anyone want me dead, me and orphan, I just couldn't understand it, who are the people, and most importantly who is Ace, and why was he protecting me, what use was I to him, he doesn't even know me or maybe he does know me, everything was so confusing, the more I thought about it the more frustrated become me and there in the kitchen, I made up my mind to find out everything I would unravel the mystery called Zachery.....
Who is Zachery?
And why is he helping Rebecca?
