a dozen doors

Though I can leave my rooms now, it’s not in my nature to go snooping through other people’s houses. Or at least not in my training to have manners and respect others’ privacy. Besides, the rooms Preston gave me are so nice it’s easy to forget the rest of the house exists. He made me my own little heaven, and I feel guilty as well as grateful. It’s hard to remember why I wanted to leave so badly in the first place, when I can sleep in and wake up in the warmest bed I’ve ever felt, have a fancy breakfast delivered, then spend the day listening to records and playing with Peanut.

In the afternoon, I watch Magnolia sing in the studio with her voice coach for a while before going to work out in the main room. I’m halfway through a clumsy routine when I see someone outside. I stop and approach the window, and then I wish I hadn’t.

Mrs. Potter said he was out when I asked on my first day, and after that, I haven’t asked. I assumed Preston had estate business to take care of or… Something.

Something that didn’t include another girl.

I watch them standing in the garden talking. They’re too close for me to think she’s a new gardener or someone hired to work on the property. She takes out her phone and steps to his side, so they’re both facing away from me. He glances up toward the window, then rests a hand on her lower back, bending to see whatever she’s showing him. Like Mrs. Potter, she’s my complete opposite in the looks department, only reaching up to his shoulder instead of being nearly his height. Unlike the house manager, this girl’s curvy on the bottom half, and her dark hair is piled up in a messy bun on the top of her head instead of being neat and put-together.

From the way Preston’s touching her, I can tell they’re intimately acquainted. That little shit’s trying to make me jealous after locking me up so I can’t even talk to anyone else. Guess this is the start of him parading girls in front of me, just like I said he would. Well, fuck that. I’m not going to just sit up here like some lovelorn princess in a tower waiting for my Prince Charming to come rescue me.

I dated a Prince Charming in high school, and he acted like my love was a burden he was happy to shrug off as soon as I freed him of it. Now I get the villain, the beast I need to be rescued from. Where’s the nice, normal guy in the middle?

Lacking that, I decide to rescue my own damn self. I stomp into the bedroom and throw open the closet. Once I’ve changed out of my workout clothes and freshened up, I leave the bedroom just as Magnolia emerges from the hallway beyond with her voice coach. Remembering what Preston said, I lock the door behind them and then start across the room.
