Episode 8

Camilla
I opened my heavy eyes, I stared at the ceiling for a while, uhhm is kinda different from the one I normally see every time I wake up
I was feeling much alive today, I raised my body slightly, am no longer feeling pains, I sat on the bed as I rested my head on the wood at the top
I opened my eyes again, fear gripped me because I wasn’t in my room
I sprung up from the bed as I stood on my feet staring at the bed I just stood up from
A picture was at the desk close to the bed, I quickly ran my hands through my body, I saw my sweater
At the other end of the room, and I was wearing a big white shirt which was almost transparent and revealing my body
I took a step to where the picture was, my heart skipped a bit when I saw Xavier’s picture on the desk
I looked around the room, it was definitely Xavier’s room, the floor was made with pure gold
There were scary pictures all over the walls of the room, there were these little writings on the white wall
I walked closer to the wall, the language was definitely Latin
I tried to pronounce the first word I saw there “del’ros ni….. I couldn’t complete it
before the bulb above my head sparked
I started taking steps backward, I walked gently without even looking at my back
I stepped on someone’s leg, a shiver ran down my spine, I turned slowly to see who it was
I flinched when I saw Xavier, I couldn’t utter a single word, I raised my face as I stared at him
” hi Camilla, how you feeling now?” He said gently
“Uhmm, am fine, am so sorry am in your room, I don’t even know how I got here” I said bowing my head
“Its alright, you passed out yesterday, and the door to your room was locked, so I brought you here” he replied with a slight smile
“Ohh, thanks” I said trying to raise my face and stare at him
“What about my dress?” I asked inaudibly
it was too thick so I took it off and wore you a new one, but I did it with my eyes closed” he said putting his two hands in his gean pocket
I bowed my head shyly
Xavier: its okay, you don’t have to be shy, can you look at me now? Ohh you have a nice hair too
Camilla: thanks
Xavier: I guess you got it from your mom right?
Camilla: yes, I did
Xavier: can I touch your hair?
Camilla: uhhhmmm
I remained silent as he walked closer to me, he removed his right hand from his pocket
He ran his hand through my hair, he stretched it down my cheek but he remained silent
Xavier : let’s just act like nothing Happend between us
Camilla: sure
Without looking back I ran out of the room with full force, I barged into my room as I closed the door
I was breathing heavily, I sat on my bed as I ran my hands through my hair
I couldn’t Even look at him properly, his brown hair was covering his eyes, I only saw his nose, lips and hands
I still can’t believe that Xavier touched me, I got these uncanny feelings and butterflies in my stomach
But what really Happend?
How did I end up in his room?
I pulled off my clothes as I sat on the bathtub in the bathroom
I brought out a pink and black dye, I dyed my hair, its been long I did this but I just wanna look different
I took my bath and wore a white singlet and a red joggers, I walked down the stairs, I saw Kelvin and
Tessa playing truth our dare
They stopped and stared at me
Hey girl, what did you do to your hair? Tessa asked with a satisfied smile “How do I look? I asked turning around and making my hair bounce ” you look gorgeous” kelvin said with a naughty smile
We all broke into a very unbearable laughter as we all fell on the floor
It wasn’t more than five minutes, Xavier stepped down the stairs wearing s black hood
This time around I could see his deep blue eyes, he’s perfect I said in my thought’s
He stood at the last step of the stairs, he removed the cap of the hood on his head and stood there like he saw something
He was staring at me, I bowed my fave because I hate those stares of his
It was then I realised that he was staring at my hair…..uhhhmm maybe he doesn’t
like this colour
He took his eyes off me and he sat on his chair by The dinning, there was a awkward silence between everybody in the sitting room
Even the maids were all staring at each other, trying to figure out what the problem is I guess
I peeped at him again, he was busy with his phones.
I gave Tessa and Kelvin what the hell is going on look “He doesn’t like your hair” Tessa whispered to me “Why? I whispered back
y’all should shut the fu.ck up”!!!!!! It was Xavier, a cold ran through me
Is all these because of my hair? I really don’t like the way he’s acting now I stood up as I walked through the dinning into the kitchen
Mrs Douglas was breaking breakfast with the maids, I hugged her from behind as she smiled
“Good morning” I greeted
She turned and stared at me, the same way Xavier did “Don’t you like my hair? I asked with a sad look
no, no no, I love it but I don’t think Xavier is going to like this ” she said patting my shoulders
“Ohh, he saw it already and I think he’s a little pissed off with it” “Just don’t get too close to him okay?” She said with a smile “Sure” I replied smiling
I turned as I walked out of the kitchen, I was at the door but I turned a bit fast, I hit my head on a statue by my right
I groaned in pains as I held my forehead
Its like I was in a dream world
A replay of what has passed tho
.
.
I saw myself standing before Xavier, he was holding me close, he kissed me but I was so weak, I saw something like blue flame leaving my body into his body
I passed out halfway on his arms, I saw Tessa, kelvin and Mrs Douglas leave
Xavier carried me in a bridal style into his room,he took off my clothes and hugged me tight
He laid me on the bed and kissed me again
I sprung out of my dream and saw Tessa shaking me where I was sitting
“Hey, are you okay?” She asked
Yea, am fine I replied as I stood up
I quickly walked towards the stairs but Xavier blocked me
He was about to place his hands on my forehead but I was quick enough to retrace my steps backward
He was looking at me, he wasn’t settled, I gave him a hard look
“You wanna erase my memory again?”
TBC.
