CLARA
It's early in the morning and I've just woken up to a sweet aroma coming from what I assume to be the kitchen.
I sit up in bed and I draw the curtains after spotting the tiny window which is just next to the bed.
It's already day time and natural lights fill the whole room. I can hear soft music playing from what I assume to be a home theatre at the living room.
I'm so much pressed because I've not been go the washroom since I was brought here therefore I spring out of bed and head for the door. It's unlocked so I just pull it and I step into a simple but comfortable looking living room.
The television is on and the soothing music coming from the home theatre is now louder but still soothing. I take a glimpse of a bare chested Noah who's in the kitchen stirring something in a cooking pot which is on the stove.
Ignoring him, I head to the direction where he told me the washroom is and I heave a sigh of relief when I see the slightly open door and the lights which are on.
I push the door open and I meet the most sparkling tiled bathroom ever. Sweet and tantalising fragrance is coming from inside but since I am almost urinating on myself, I lower myself on the toilet seat and make myself comfortable.
As I go on my business, I look around and I'm awed by whatever I see. Noah is naturally a clean person and that is confirmed by the neat and well organised living room and the sparkling clean washroom.
It's evident that this man is used to affluence and since he is an Alpha's son, I assume he's living the best life in this house.
After I'm done, I wipe myself clean and flash the toilet with enough water and then walk out after wiping my hands with a clean towel.
Noah is in the living room where he has already set the table and the mouth watering aroma of bacon, sausages and coffee hit my nostrils, giving me some unknown intoxication.
"Good morning Clara, I hope you had a wonderful night."
"Good morning Noah, yeah, what about you?"
"I'm fine. Come, let's have breakfast."
"Not until I freshen up and have a change of clothes." I say, not knowing what I'm supposed to wear after taking a shower.
"If you say so." He shakes his head and as I head into the bedroom, he follows me from behind and walks to a closet I had never seen before. He pulls out a clean towel, a t-shirt and some baggy sweats making me to laugh out loudly.
"I know they're big but this is all I have. Just make sure of them before we shop for you, okay?" He says and I nod. Do I have a choice?
Immediately Noah steps out of the room, I get rid of the baggy t-shirt that I'm wearing and wrap a towel over my body. I'm still in my underwear but I'm now confused because I don't know what to wear underneath the big sweat pants after showering.
In the shower, I take my time, scrubbing my whole body with a small towel which Noah has provided for me and after I am done, I rinse my self and then wipe myself dry.
I then step out and enter the bedroom where I spot a bottle of lotion next to the clothes he gave to me.
Taking my time, I oil my whole body and then dress up to the baggy set of clothes. I don't have a choice but to wear them. Those two bastards couldn't even pack one or two dresses for me! Damn!
And my phone...oh no, where's my phone?
Immediately I remember my mobile phone, I become hysterical, making me to run to the living room, something which startles Noah who's holding his remote, scrolling through the TV channels. He's still shirtless and I'm sure I'll have a hard time keeping my eyes to myself!
"What's wrong Clara?"
"My phone, did they by any chance bring it here with me?"
"Phone?" He seems confused. "A rogue with a phone? Interesting!"
Oh no, I've just sold myself out! Either way, I need to redeem myself.
"Being a rogue doesn't mean I couldn't get an access to communication devices. I had a phone which I used in communicating with other rogues and-"
"Alright, I get it. But I don't buy the rogue narrative Clara because you don't look like one!"
I know a little or nothing about rogues but I'll have to come up with a convincing lie because I won't risk being driven out of here!
"Be free and frank with me Clara. I just want to be able to help you out."
"I- I- I am hungry!" I blurt out, surprising not only Noah but myself as well.
"The table is set. I've already had breakfast so you can eat to your fill." He offers and I nod as I walk to the small dinning table at the corner of the living room. It has only one seat therefore I draw it towards the food and I can't stop salivating over the aroma.
As I take a bite of the sausage, I take a glimpse of Noah who's scrolling through his phone and I suddenly wonder what is going on in his mind. I've lied to him without blinking an eye lid and I dread the day he will c***k my lies and see through them. That day, I'll be doomed!
As I continue stealing glances at him and observing him, I notice that he seems to be a strong man but I can't fail to notice the creases on his face due to frowning every now and then. He appears to be twenty two or even younger but something.... something about him doesn't appear right .... Something must be eating him up!
His upper body is still shirtless and his abs are well outlined. He's well built but still, he doesn't appear okay. He kind of appears...lonely and somehow miserable. He-
"Are you done eating or you just love drooling over me?"
What?!
