Chapter 11: Alone with this Weirdo

“Can I go out?” 

“No,”

“Why?”

“It’s the master’s order,”

“Then can I just borrow a laptop, a cellphone, or can I call someone using a telephone?”

“Calling someone from the outside is the most prohibited out of all things the master ordered. You can wait for his arrival if you want to talk or call someone. If you may excuse me, Miss,” Thraia said. I was sitting on a single-seater European coach while she was standing in front of me, with a bowed head.

She looked at me, waiting for a response. I just nodded, “Go on. You can leave me here,” she bowed her head again and then turned her back. I just stared at her back while she walked away in my direction.

When she reached the doubled door, after she opened and closed it, when she finally disappeared from my sight, without hesitations, I stood up.

I walk fast to reach the right portion of my direction where the vast glass wall was located.

Covered by a European curtain, I immediately pulled the curtain, and light coming from the outside greeted my face. 

The light was too blinding but refreshing. At least, I can assure myself that I’m still in this world. That, I can still have a chance to get out of this place. 

What I need is a plan, a way, and someone who can help me. But I won’t depend on the last option because it’s hard to find a companion who can help me carry what I’m aiming for just by now.

“I only have myself as a companion,” I muttered to myself. Since the wall was transparent glass, I can clearly see what’s on the outside.

I was left amazed because of the jaw-dropping view. What’s seen on the outside is a blue ocean, dancing with tiny waves. Only the middle part of the ocean was visible to my eyes.

It was also surrounded by excellent and hot weather. The clouds were blue and clear, like watching a witch plays on her crystal ball.

I can also feel that the wind lurking outside was fresh and out of pollution. I don’t know what kind of place this is, but I think it’s a good place for refreshment. 

I shrugged my head. This is not the time for amusement. I need to think of a way. I believe it’s already afternoon because of the heat coming from the outside. I’m planning tonight. I will try to sneak out of this house to get some help from the outside.

Maybe, someone there will help me. Yes! There’s someone I can rely on the outside. What I need to do for now is to get out of this house first.

I closed the curtains and turned my back from the glass wall. I immediately walk around the place. I don’t know what part of the house because there’s only four single-seater couch in the middle of the room.

When I turned my head on the right portion, there’s a giant black piano placed opposite the glass wall. Corners of the room were designated by a huge areca palm, an air purifier plant.

Besides those things that I mentioned, the place only left with a free wide spacious and nothing more. 

I looked around, but then, I can’t find something that I can use to do my plan tonight. 

I was in the middle of roaming around, and when my eyes spotted the double door, it suddenly opened. I stopped from my current position.

A man wearing white Sando, a black blazer, white kando shorts, and paired with black and white sneakers appeared in front of the door. It was Elliott. 

Most girls would find him attractive because he has this handsome face and strong sexual appeal, but where did he put his taste of clothes? He’s really weird in choosing an outfit. All of it was out of tone from the moment I saw him! 

“You look magnificent, woman!” He hissed, then walks in my direction with wide-open arms. He was like giving me a welcome hug.

I just look at him as he walks in my direction. He’s still keeping his stance. What a weirdo.

“I have a name,” I said when he already reached me, “and would you put down your hands,” I added. I don’t know why. He’s weird, yes, but I was talking to him like this in a casual way. 

I know, at first, I don’t really like him, but when talking to him, I forgot that we both are total strangers to each other. I admit that he’s an easy guy to deal with. He’s not hard to be close with, but he’s hard to read.

“You look gorgeous in that simple outfit, woman,” he said while ignoring my words. He put his hands down and stared at me.

I was wearing a chiffon light blue dress above the knee, and he calls this one simple? God! This dress is something that I can afford only if I would save my three months salary without spending all of it!

“I don’t need your sarcasm,” I said to him. He lifted his eyes on me.

“I bet you should have said that to yourself,” he then flashes an idiotic smile. Maybe, that expression is his whole life signature. Well, he’s an idiot with a weird clothing style.

“But why choose that dress?” he retakes a look on me, from head to toe. Then stopped on my eyes, “There’s a lot of dress that was prepared only for you,” he continued. I just snapped. 

“Why would I wear such expensive clothes that I can’t afford with? This is the only one that suits me,” I answered him directly.

He chuckled, “Oh woman,” he then suddenly raised his right hand and placed it on my face. He holds the strands of hair that was covering my left eye then put it on the back of my hair, “Everything here was prepared for you,” he smiles and then suddenly closes the gap between us and placed his mouth near to my left air, “Only for you,” then he blows my ear.

It sends shivers down my spine that made me jump out of nowhere. I looked at Elliott while my brows are conflicted. I give him a deadly glare, but he just burst into a laugh. 

“This is the first time someone did that kind of thing. You’re an awful person,” I said and then take two steps away from him. He just continued laughing.

Oh, God! Is there something funny? He’s already hilarious. Maybe he’s laughing because he noticed that he was a hilarious breed. 

I want to choke this man in front of me until he runs out of breathing. For Pete’s sake! My eagerness to get out of this place is getting higher.

“My cousin won’t let me off the hook because of this, but your reaction is quite cute and fun! HAHA,” then again, he continued laughing. I hope you’ll lose all your voice. But why would Reign do something over this thing? 

I just stared at him as he continues what he’s doing, but then, later on, he stops. He looked at me and then flash a usual smile on his face. He suddenly offers his right hand, so I looked at him with confusion.

“What?” I asked. Then he just raises his right brow.

“I’m offering my hand,” he directly answered. I want to bump his head on a big and hard pointed stone.

“I’m not an idiot. Why are you offering your hand?” I was trying to hold my temper while waiting for his answer. He suddenly acts like thinking. He even put his free hands under his chin. 

Oh, if there’s a falling star right now, I would wish that this man in front of me will be shot by a million falling asteroids.

“To guide you on the dining hall,” he said thoughtfully. I looked at his face and his hands, back and forth. I took a deep breath before holding his hands.

“Then, lead the way,” I said and flashed a fake smile.

I have no choice. I need to deal with this guy, with the persons inside this house. So that, later on, I can manage to get something that can help me get out of this place.
