CHAPTER 27

AMETHYST'S POV

Aivan get off above me and lay down next to me.

We were still pretty much chasing our own breaths as we both stared at the ceiling.

Yes, we just did a miracle. I notice that we do this every three days. It's like this madman is making a pattern.

On nights when we don't collide, we watch movies or play board games, or card games sometimes.

The information I know about him is also got a little bit more.

I found out that the five of them formed a friendship when they were at the bar. Tristen and Aivan were already friends at that time. It's like the other three was just added to their friendship.

Hendrix, Keenan and Drake helped Tristen because there was a group that allegedly planned to kill Tristen that night.

The two probably couldn't handle fifteen people so that's why the three helped them.

It was said that Tristen and Aivan were already friends when they meet the other three.
I just don't know if they are owning different monkey business.
It's been nine days since I am with Aivan in the same place. I don't want to say roof.

I took a deep breath before I faced him.

“I’m going out tomorrow,” I said quickly to him.

"For what?" He also turned to me.

Why it's like that? There is something I feel as he looks at me while his eyes were half closed. He even talked gently earlier!

"I-I want to buy a hair coloring." Why it's that? I stuttered because of the way he looked at me.

I just pinched myself under the blanket that covered my entire body to wake up and remember that I shouldn’t be fooled or seduced by the innocent -looking face in front of me.

Because he's not really innocent!

Behind that face is a total monster!
It's cold so I put on a blanket.

"Hair coloring?" he asked as his eyebrows met.

"Yes, hair coloring. I want to change my hair color," I replied.

"But, your hair color right now is really good to you?" he asked more.

"I know that. But I really want to change it. I'll just go black again. Then I'll put blonde on the front." I even combed my hair in the front that I plan to dye.

"You're getting bored here, right?" The madman even laughed so I rolled my eyes because he was right.

"It's too much! I can't even move much to clean here! Someone comes in to do maintenance cleaning. It's good that other maintenance workers allow me to clean here when I send them away. It's not really dirty either here, tho. If there is any, they are only few." I just pouted my lips.

"You don't have to go outside." My eyebrows met at what he said.

"I'm really really bored here! Let me out!"

"What if someone who knows you see you?" I was just silenced by what he said.

"My boys will just buy it for you." I just gasped.

Of course that may really happen.

"Wait, how about your family?" He even pointed at my hair, I got what he meant.
The question made me think.

Yeah, he's right?

"I'll take care of it," I replied.

Maybe I should just say that during the times we were waiting with my co-workers we thought of coloring our hair.

But, it was nice to hear that he would really bring me back to my family alive.

In the midst of our silence he suddenly spoke.

“I know that I'm too hot and handsome. Don't look at me like that or else we'll do it again one more time." My eyes just widened at what he said and the madman was grinning from ear to ear!

Have I really been staring at him earlier?!

I don't know what I'm doing when I'm thinking something! Plus, we're not talking that's why maybe I just didn't realize that I am staring him!

"You're so ugly! Did you know that?" I said in a mean tone then I stood get and put on my clothes.

I can't sleep naked, especially when it's air conditioned. I may catch cold then get sick.

"You want to go outside?" he asked in the middle of my dressing.

I looked at him and he was staring at me. Did he really watch me get dressed?

"Of course!" I said this while just putting on my shirt.

"Go in the rooftop." I couldn’t stop myself from reacting because of what it said.

"Then wow. Your joke is deadly to laughter." I rolled my eyes but the madman just grinned.

I just arranged my position in lying on the bed.

"Just kidding. Do you want to go on a mall? I immediately looked at him after he said that.

"Sure!" But, suddenly there's something that popped up on my mind.

"But, what if someone who knew me will see me?" I didn't help it but to pout my lips.

"Let's do it out of town." I couldn’t help it but to smile as I'm pretending that I'm not believing him.

"Really?" He closed his eyes first and then nodded slightly.

"When?" I immediately asked him.

"The day after tomorrow," he replied while his eyes were still closed.

"Nice!" I just clapped my hands because of this.

"Good night," he said and pressed the ceiling light remote to turn that off.

"Gonii," I said here as well and arranged my position, I turned my back on him.

------


I slowly opened my eyes and Aivan was no longer beside me.

As usual. I picked up my phone on the table next to the bed to check the time.

"8:30," I whispered softly.

I don't really wake up at this kind of time. Normally, I'm already awake at five or six in the morning. My body clock just got changed because I don't do anything here.

It's also very comfortable because the bed very soft and it's still cold so maybe it is why like this.

But it also seems that this is fine.

So, that I can literally relax because of what is happening in my life right now.

I also don't want to set an alarm.
I have not yet decided if I will cook breakfast for Aivan. Maybe if I will do that, he'll think of something else. I will think about it carefully first.

He told me once that at seven am he usually leaves.

I got out of bed and went out fixed myself before eating.

When I go to the kitchen there were already food that were ready--- this is everyday.

But what woke me up was the hair dye box on the table. I approached it and took them.

They are a black and a blonde.

After I ate, I cleaned up.

There's really nothing too cluttered here.

This is how my life has been here.

Wake up at eight or 8:30 then I'll eat.

Then I'll clean then I'll watch tv.

Have lunch and then read books or watch movies in the afternoon.

Then around 4:30 pm I will work out.

Sometimes I'm just sleeping when I'm lazy to do so.

Then Aivan will go home around 5:30.

I can't call Crystal everyday and then every hour. I might be suspicious. So, even if I really badly want to call them, I can't.

I also couldn’t go out very easy because Aivan’s two people were guarding me at the door. If I go out, I should just be here inside the building.

Since I don't know where to go, I just choose to stay inside.
It's good and the things I'm going to do now will change a bit because I'll dye my hair later.

AFTER I had lunch I rested for a while.
I have arranged the ones I will use for coloring my hair.

My hair was not total ash blonde colored. The upper part of my hair is still black.

I dyed my hair black from the middle to the bottom because these were the only ash blonde colored.

When I was able to darken my hair, I took care of the one in front of me. I only dyed blonde the front of my hair, the bangs part.

"Wow! I'm soooo beautiful!" I praised to myself as I look from the mirror to see reflection from different angles.

I am now next to the glass wall here in the room in the corner while I'm sitting.

There is actually a chair here in front of the mirror.

"I should have just bleached. Then I'll do it gray or blue after a few months," I said as I parted my hair in front that with color.

"Oh, wait." I put my index finger under my lip.

"How about tomorrow?" I asked myself as I looked outside.

Does Aivan know what we are going to do?

Does he already have a plan? Is it a date?

I was just horrified at my last thought.

Where does he get his ideas? Can he really think of these? Just like when we used to eat on the rooftop. That was weird. Does he ask his friends for tips? Especially with Tristen?

But honestly, his aura isn't that scary for me anymore. Maybe I'm used to it right away or something?

If he doesn't give me a scary aura, I'm will not be afraid of him. Unlike before, when you just stare at him, it immediately feels like he wants to strangle you.

What is this? Why is it like this? Can... Love really change a person?
I just hit my forehead with my thoughts.

"Because of boredom I already can't control what's going through my mind." I just gasped at what I said.

Love? Why? Why do I think Aivan feels this way about me?

Who knows he's just lying and after this deal he will still really kill me?

I just sighed again.

"I want to go back to my old life. To my family," I said to myself in front of the mirror.
