1 Chapter 1 Valerie

Wincing under the steady flow of warm water I begin to examine my cuts and scrapes. How did I get here? I realize these bathroom tiles are not mine, and I have no idea how I got here. My head throbs as I try to recall what just happened in the previous hours, but it's honestly all just a messy blur. My body aches so I finally embrace the hot water to bring relief to my joints and it's soothing my scrapes. I've always gone with the flow of things depending on how I can sense wether the situation has a good vibe. Even though I'm confused I take my time in the shower, it's a nice one too. Glass sliding doors, glass walls, shiny pale grey tiles and nice fluffy grey towels to top it off. I feel like a fish in an expensive tank. Sighing I finish washing my injures and my hair and step out. Cautious of my surroundings I wrap the towels placed on the counter snuggly around myself only to see the pair of black silk pajamas neatly folded on the counter. I think to myself, shorts and a lacy tank top, okay fancy and sexy? I look in the mirror and images of the past hours flash through my mind like a badass movie trailer. I find an intriguing familiar face in those images, sharp jawline, dark blonde hair, defined nose and broad shoulders. What catches my attention the most are those vivid green eyes that widened right before everything turns black. I walk out of the bathroom into a large bedroom with a king bed covered with grey blankets and a fluffy throw. The walls are dark with the only light in the room coming from the bathroom light and a dim light on a desk in the far corner. I run my fingers across the fluffy throw mesmerized with how soft it is. A knock on the door startles me, but I go to open it too quickly I realize. A bad habit on my part I have always been quick I don't like to keep people waiting. I throw on a robe I found hanging on the bathroom door not comfortable with how revealing my clothes are. I open the bedroom door only to find those mystic green eyes, and suddenly I find it hard to catch my breath as more memories of that night flood my brain. I manage to find my voice and ask the first question on my mind, "Who are you and how did I end up here?". Mystery man smiles showing off one dimple on his left cheek, "Well hello to you too love. My name is Lorenzo, and you are my mate."
