Chapter 05

Jeff's Pov:-

My eyes opened up and I saw a black ceiling in sight. My house had a black ceiling? All of memories of last night came flashing. I was with Xavier. We had dinner together and we were on a walk when he...kissed. HE KISSED?! After that I couldn't remember anything. Did I black out? Someone in my head was playing drums because it was paining very badly. Who would play drums in the morning? I pushed of the soft blanket off me and stood up. My head started spinning and I stumbled back on the bed. Wow... DID HE DRUG ME?! Oh god- am I sold? Human Trafficker? I need to get out of here. I saw a big window and I immediately opened it. 2 floors. I can jump down and hurt my ass or I can sneak out and run without getting hurt. I choose the second option.

I run to the door, hoping it'll be unlocked. I took a deep breath before turning the knob. Click. It's open! I peeked out and saw no one around so I softly kept my legs on the carpet that covered almost every part of the floor. There was no creaking noise which was better. I couldn't even hear anyone talking so I guess no one's home but can I risk myself getting caught? Nah. I walked down the large spiral stairs and soon was on the ground floor but didn't see the main door yet. I decided to turn left and saw a maid. Should I ask her? What if she's involved?

"Are you looking for someone?" HOLY NOODLES-- I jumped when someone behind me spoke out of nowhere. I kept my hand on my heavily breathing chest. "I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry." The woman said. "But you still did." I sighed. "Were you looking for someone?" The woman looked old, in her mid 40s I guess. She wore a long skirt that reached till her calves and black flat shoes. Her hair was tied in a bun and she had no make up on. There were wrinkles on her forehead and neck, also some near her eyes. Back to her question, was I looking for someone's? No but I was looking for something. The main door.

When she got no response from me she raised an eyebrow. "Not really but can you tell me how I'm here?" I'm scared because I don't want to hear any stupid story like "Our young master saved you from getting kidnapped" or shit like that. Xavier would'nt do something like that or can he? I mean I just got to know him and I can't trust fully but he didn't seem like a guy who would kidnapp a broke guy like me. I don't even have thick body, if they plan on selling me. "Maybe that's something you should hear from Carlos. It's your private matter and I'm not allowed to say anything to you."

Who in the earth is Carlos? And private matter? Well, it is but I need to know so I can leave this place and go back to my own lifestyle. Oh shit- what excuse will I give to Mrs.Cameron?

Imagination:-

"Jeff! You took a holiday without permission! You're fired! Mrs.Cameron adjusted her glasses and pointed to the door. James looked disappointed and Nicky was in her own world.

Haha, not possible. I'm sure she'll understand if I give some excuses. Like I was not well? Or I had to leave immediately because something happened? "Back to earth, kid." The woman was waving her hand in front of my face. I should stop overthinking, jeez. "Let's go meet Carlos first and then I'll give you something to eat, okay?" Who can deny food? Not me.

The woman took me to the first floor and took a left turn. "Is this a hotel?" I asked as we passed room after room. "This is a mansion." She said plainly. I'm in a rich house! I wish I had my phone. I would've clicked some pics-- "We're here." She said as we stopped in front of a wooden door. The handles were unique. It had a dragon design. "Remember, before you go in any room, knock the door twice. If you don't hear any response then you can just peek a little. If you don't see anyone, return back." I nodded.

Well I won't need these manners because I know them and yeah, I'll be leaving. "Compose yourself." She said and knocked on the door. Was I not standing straight? I stood up straight and upright. My chest coming a bit forward. After we heard a "Come in", she pushed the door open and asked me to go inside. "Thank you, old lady." I said. Before closing the door behind me, I heard "My name is Mary and I'm just 47."

I would've laughed at this but then I saw a man sitting. He had this intimate aura around which was warning 'One wrong move and you're gone.' He was typing something on his laptop when his attention shifted towards me. HE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE XAVIER! "Xavier?" I asked. The man had deep blue eyes, a perfect sharp jawline. He looked like a Greek God. I would love to worship him. You're like an animal in heat. Thank you subconscious for reminding me.

"You got me wrong. I'm not him." Yeh, right. I guess I'm lucky. I'm getting so see god's best creation these days. "How do you know Xavier?"
