Chapter 5

***

I was dreaming again but this time it was different.

I see the dream differently, I know that I’m inside the dream, I’m aware that I’m still in my room laying in my soft bed, I try to open my eyes but I can't and I can't explain how I feel right now. Suddenly the strong wind blew and the window in my room suddenly opened. 

‘Help me!’ I shouted in my mind.

I opened my eyes automatically and was startled when I found out where I was now. 

“Oh my god,” I murmured myself.

My heart is beating so fast inside my chest. I don't know how I ended up in the middle of the forest, lying on the cream white silky bed sheet of this soft bed where I’m laying right now, my both hands and feet were tight up on both sides of the bed. I saw a blue small flower from the grass beside some trees. 

“Oh, shit,” cursing while as I tried to break free from the bondage even though it would hurt me. 

I was surprised to see a man in a black mask on my head. I gulped. 

“Who are you?” I heard my voice clearly. Is this a dream?

All the presence is real and I saw how beautiful the starry night about the sky but not here in the middle of the forest and my position. I just noticed I’m wearing a cream dress and I feel I don’t wear underwear.

I scream a curse again inside my head.

“Why I’m here, what are you doing to do to me?”

He didn’t talk. I saw his dark blue eyes fixed in me. I saw his not wearing any dress on top and only wearing tattered pants. He walked until he reached the end of the bed at my feet. He came down and took hold of my feet.

I flinched because of the jolt of electricity I feel right now because of his touch.

“Don’t touch me!”

But he still does it as if he didn’t hear me. I feel a shiver down my spine when his touch moves up to my knees until in my thigh and his stop there.

“Don’t you dare to continue! I swear I’m going to punch you when you touch me there!”

I saw how his red lips smirked a little and I feel weird about this. It’s cold here in the forest but he makes me feel hot and that’s really a word for me. I close my eyes when he moves fast he is now on top of me. I feel his think poke my stomach. I feel his hot breath on my neck, his nose tracing until he gives me a little kiss there. I feel his one hand are now caressing my side, he moved and whispered something in my left ears.

“Open your eyes and look at me.”

I don’t obey him but something in his voice that I should do it.

“Please,” he whispered again.

I slowly open my eyes and he is inches away from me.

“Welcome home, Emily.”

He moves his head and to my surprised I feel his soft lips on the mind.

***

I gasped a large amount an air when I wake up from my dreams.

I could still feel my chest pounding fast inside my chest and I still feel the cold. I saw the window are now open, I approached the window and shut it immediately. I went back to bed and wrapped myself in the blanket.

“That was weird,” I whispered.

I touch my lips and still feel his lips in mind. I stayed awake for a while before I fell asleep. When I woke up that morning Mrs. Marcos prepare breakfast for us. They greeted me and we eat first.

“I think we should check again and clean some of the rooms.” I suggested, “and then after that we can start to interview the clients as soon as possible.”

“Yes, that’s good.”

After breakfast we immediately cleaned the mansion and I helped them while Darius went to the market again to deliver supplies there. It took us two hours to clean up and it was a bit tiring too. I bathed first before lunch and in the afternoon when I decided to call client contacts one by one. I call the numbers of Da Silva.

First I heard rings until a woman's voice answer it.

“Good noon to you this is the office of Mayor's office, this is secretary Malin, and what can I do for you?”

“Hi, this is Emily LeStrange, I heard that the Da Silva family wanted to buy the LeStrange mansion. Can you please tell them that they can set a date for the tour here at my mansion whenever they want? That’s all, thank you.”

“Wait a minute, Ms. LeStrange.”

“Okay.”

I wait a few minutes for the line when someone talks again.

“Mr. Da Silva wanted to schedule the tour mansion right now.”

“What?” I surprised.

“Yes ma’am and any minute now they will visit your mansion for the tour, thank you.”

My cell phone stuck to my ear even though no one was speaking on the other line before I lowered my cell phone to the cabinet and suddenly I was in shock for no apparent reason. I suddenly conscious myself and look at my clothes. I’m wearing a black dress below the knee length, black snickers, and wearing a black bumper jacket with badges design.

I waited for almost half an hour and I tell also to Mrs. Marcos the first client to visit now. They had come in with a familiar black car that almost hit me yesterday and a young man riding a brown horse. Our eyes met when they arrived. 

He is wearing plain light green breeches or riding pants, black chaps or boots, and show shirts in white design in the middle and green light in the sleeve partner with his breeches. He looks handsome even though he is still young like me.
