Chapter Five

Alexis

I awoke the next morning to the warm Los Angeles sun parading through the half-open blinds in Chase’s bedroom. A cocoon of pillows and sheets enveloped me like I was sitting inside the pouch of a kangaroo, totally protected and safe. My eyes opened slowly, my hand coming up to block the sun from beaming directly into my frail eyes, as I blinked a few times to try to adjust myself to the light.

I sat up, looking around the room, trying to find any hint of Chase. He was nowhere to be found, or at least not that I could see. I looked and saw the imprint of his body on the bed, the white covers warped like the sand of a zen garden, but the all important rock the sand warped around was missing.

I looked down, my clothes still off, the covers now just barely covering my naked breasts, as I looked to see if they were anywhere in sight. They were, surprisingly, on a gray chair near my side of the bed. They were neatly folded, hung over the back of the chair, waiting for me to slip them on.

I got out of bed, walked over to the chair, and put them on, my dress from last night easily indicating to anyone outside that I would be doing the walk of shame when I left to go home. I walked over to the half-open window, my shoes in one hand and my purse in the other, before looking out into the busy Los Angeles streets below. The sun shimmered and bounced off of the windows of the passing cars, like little distress signals asking for my aid. I turned, walking into the bathroom, hoping to find a hint of him somewhere…anywhere. He wasn’t there.

I walked out of his bedroom and was immediately presented with the room we used last night, the door identical to the one to his bedroom, though the secrets that lay inside differed vastly. Looking down the hall to make sure I wasn’t being watched, as if I were doing something bad, I grabbed the handle and turned it, hoping to go inside and get a better look than the one I got last night. It was locked. I guessed it made sense that he took out my clothes and locked away his special little room so that nobody could find it.

I walked down the hallway, slowly, looking at everything and taking it in, as I didn’t get the chance last night when I was being whisked away to a night of tantalizingly erotic sex. He had pictures with just about anybody who was anybody, as well as a couple trophies and plaques on the walls. I was impressed, but more worried and concerned about where he was right now, and why I wasn’t waking up beside him, in his arms, listening to his heartbeat.

I walked into the wildly expansive living room, the white furniture accented with gray pillows and blankets, like the set of a sci-fi movie.
