Joanne…*
It was a Thursday morning. And one of the most chaotic mornings I would ever come across since our stay here.
My body throbbing from a different angle.
Well it was Thursday. Whatever did I expect? I’ll be visiting the White Ale-o house two hours from now for the first time.
Getting dolled up by these maids is probably one of the hardest thing I’d also ever encounter.
With the hard pulls on my hair, almost getting mascara in my eyes and tweezers almost stabbed in my orbs. The clip earrings that almost bit my ear off, the uncomfortable false fingernails. I almost screamed.
I am a pregnant lady, I know I don’t look pregnant… yet, but do I really have to go feeling uncomfortable.
After two solid hours of primping me up, I finally got ready.
I got on my feet and gave myself when a good stare when all the maids left, leaving just me and trinity in the room.
“My goodness you look amazing” Trinity gasped.
Exactly the way I expected her to react, she’s such a sweet mouth.
“Thank you” I flashed her reflection a smile from the mirror in front of us as she stood brightly behind me.
“So are you ready to meet those women? Believe me you’ll be shocked when you meet them, they can be as fancy as hell” Trinity shook her head.
“I don’t know, kind of starting to feel nervous. Hardy said to get close to this Anna lady, and thinking of how to start a conversation with random fancy strangers, is making my stomach churn and in the most vile way ever”
Trinity bursted out laughing and it caused me to give her a brief glare.
“I’m sorry” she didn’t stop laughing. “The random fancy strangers took me out… I know it was supposed to be that funny, but trust me it is”
Her laugh caused me to smile and let my mouth stretch out a small laugh.
“Don’t worry” Trinity caught her breath and gave my shoulder a light tap.
“If you feet nervous, just imagine everyone naked”
“I’m sorry what?”
–
I stepped out of the room and was escorted outside the mansion with Trinity holding my hand, so I wouldn’t trip one way or the other while coming down such long stairs.
I would be going with Hardy, but instead of coming inside with me, he would be hanging out with the men outside the white ale-o house, men who had also come in to drop their lady .
And as usual, Theodore would be driving us there.
It’s been four days, four days since Theodore had walked in on me and Hardy that night.
With me shamelessly naked on top Hardy and straddling him.
Not like I wanted to straddle him or whatever, but I am pretty sure Theodore wouldn’t care and would just love to interpret that scene in his own way in his damn head.
And hardy wouldn’t care to try to explain, despite knowing what Theodore feels towards me.
But wait…
What does Theodore actually feel? I know we did have a thing going on, but nothing was labaled. Clearly he’s just the bodyguard of the man I’m being an incubator to a new born child to.
I don’t know, I shouldn’t hurt my head thinking about where I stand in a place I know I would be tossed when I’m done being used.
So I better enjoy it while it lasts.
Not like there’s anything to enjoy.
I got outside the mansion and Theodore is waiting by the car door, I glance behind him and saw Hardy already seated in the car .
And goodness, you could tell the car is really new, shamelessly, I know nothing about cars, and yes people like us exists.
All I can say is, it is big, bright shiny white and huge doors.
How fancy can we be?
Theodore flashed me a gaze before gesturing for me to come closer as he opened the door.
He didn’t say anything, just like he and Hardy hasn’t said anything at all to me in the last four days.
All the information Hardy had for me was relayed to me by Trinity.
I mean, I could expect a silent treatment from Hardy, since it’s his nature and he hates me.
But Theodore? He was supposed to be the nice one.
Maybe that night really made him mad. I should explain to him that it’s not what he thinks.
I got in the car and got my blue dress to get in with me too.
Hardy didn’t say a word to me and just continued to focus on his phone screen , he didn’t even try to glance up at the intruder who had just walked inside the car.
Yeah I don’t care either.
Theodore hit the road and that was the most silent freakin’ fuckin ride I have ever been in.
–
I found myself breathing again after thirty minutes on the road and Theodore finally pulled over in an enormous maze looking garden. Boy was I glad.
I wanted to step out of the car as fast as possible but Hardy’s words stopped me.
“Don’t act irrational” He spat. “Someone will walk you out”
“Okay” I remained quiet and let my back rest on the warm car seat.
Inside the car was completely quiet and only the sound of Hardy tapping aggressively at his phone’s keyboard could be heard.
Really feel like grabbing a handful of that phone and throwing it out.
He’s making this silence deadly.
And Theodore, don’t even get me started Theodore too.
They’re both being so annoying I don’t care and want to go to the Ale-o house immediately.
I decided to pay more attention outside Hardy’s car when I saw more expensive looking cars pulling up close to us, all the cars in different colours, the first car that drove by was a sports car, I could clearly tell it was orange in colour and blinked well under the sun.
The second car was pink and looked like it’ll cost at least three people’s lives.
The third car that suddenly pulled up was yellow and the fourth was light blue.
Okay what in the world is it with the colours. And to think about it, Hardy usually drives his black car, all his cars are blacks , but just for this event only.
We’re pulling a white car, is this some sort of cult? Where people come with colorful cars which isn’t black?
What the hell is wrong with these wealthy people. Not that I’m hating or anything , it just feels weird.
*
Waiting in the car, I was patient enough to watch six different colourful cars pull up in the wide and open area.
I wanted to ask Hardy or Theodore why we were still waiting inside the car, but both of them looked like they would rather suck on gull than speak to me.
I was becoming tired and bored just sitting in the car, not knowing what would happen next.
This would have been a great Thursday if I had spent it on a soft bed sleeping.
I glanced at Hardy and what happened four days with me sitting on him naked, suddenly flashed across my mental screen, leaving me completely perplexed.
No cause why in the world would my mind suddenly flash back to that?
Do I want history to repeat itself or am I just guilt ridden.
Suddenly, it felt like I was hyperventilating, I reached for the car’s fancy door and moved my hand, hoping I’d find whatever rolls these windows down.
I needed fresh air.
“What’s wrong?” I heard Hardy’s voice asking.
Oh he cares?
I turned to face him.
He wasn’t looking at me, but still at his phone.
Such a prick.
“I need the windows open” I breathed out , placing my hand on my chest.
Immediately, Theodore pushes something in front of the car and the windows started to open.
I breathed out a sigh of relief when that fresh breeze hit my face and caused me to close my eyes.
I jumped when a knock came acrosss the car door.
My eyes fluttered open and I see a woman grinning from ear to ear like she was being forced to.
“Mrs. Joanne Bensimon?” She asked, her green eyes looking selective.
Since when was I Bensimon.
I glanced at Hardy and he nodded at me.
I turned to the Lady and nod to her too, and I watched her lips spread into a loud creepy smile.
“Please ma’am I am Tina and I am here to take you away” She added.
Take me away to where? Why is she sounding even creepier.
Theodore walked out of the car and opened the door for me.
Great, my cue to leave.
So they’re both just going to let me walk away with this Tina lady.
What if I try to escape from the Aleo-house
Well… not like I know anywhere around here, we could be in a different country and I would no idea about that, thanks to the sleeping pill I always get before one of those weird private jet flights.
I walked out of the car and watched Hardy stuck out his head.
“I’ll be with the men at the hotel, have a great time honey”. He flashed a dazzling smile that took my breath away.
The fact that, that was Hardy and he just freaking smiled.
Who knew he could smile like that and what men and what fuckin hotel is he talking about?
And honey? I know he’s just putting on a sick act that he loves me so much.
He should get an award for that acting.
This man is sure something else.
In an instant, the car closed shut and Theodore and Hardy drove away, leaving me with Tina who was now walking me down a huge white Gazebo at the end of the Garden field.
Time to step into the world of these women and their fancy lives.
