After what seemed like forever I somehow fell asleep. A couple of hours later, I heard a knock on the door and opening of the door-but I was unsure if it was a dream or I actually heard it. When I heard my last name being called followed by a hand touching my shoulder. My eyes shot up by the sudden touch and when I see three complete strangers standing in front of me I couldn't help but panic and instantly moved away further from them. The woman in her 30's stepped back and apologized.

And I was breathing hard and fast- I can't possibly be feeling this because of yesterday.

"I'm sorry if I took you off guard." She apologized.

"Give me a moment, please." I said as I raised my hand to stop them from coming forward. Ian walked in and his eyes was furious.

"Are you okay?" He asked and ran to the bed. "Why are you all here?" He asked them.

"Master Cooper and Master El's order." She said.

He cussed under his breath. "Get out of the room now, and tell them to wait."

They all scurried and left the room and Ian watched me carefully like a hawk.

"Would you like some space?" He asked carefully as I nodded my head. He stepped back, but didn't leave the room. I got up from the bed and ran to him for a hug. He was surprised by my sudden movement but he didn't say anything and hugged me tightly. He smelled of body shower and after shave mostly with his minty smell.

He pat my head gently and quietly waited for me to calm down.

"You are okay." He said. "You are safe here."

I know I'm safe here but I just couldn't help but feel scare.

"Joe brought you some fresh clothes." He changed the topic. "Why don't you go and get ready. I'll wait for you here." He encouraged me and I nodded my head. He kissed me on my forehead gently and said, "I'll wait for you here."

I thank him quietly for protecting me. It took me a while in the shower and when I open the bag and saw matching underwear I couldn't help but blushed furiously. I hope Joe didn't go out to buy this. I felt calmer and relaxed after the shower. The clothes fits me perfectly. The expensive jeans was right size and so was the shirt and I wonder whoever went to buy this how they knew my sizes.

Ian was on the phone when I stepped out. I just noticed his casual outfit. He was in a navy blue v-shirt and sweatpants and was bare foot standing on the fuzzy carpet. He turned to look at me and was surprised at first but then he moved towards me and kissed me gently on my cheeks before hugging me with one hand while still on the phone.

I hugged him tightly and was comforted by his heart beat rate that I could hear while I was hugging him.

"Inform Jasper about this." Ian said. "Yes, that's it for now." And he ended the call.

"Hi." I said as I moved away to look up at him

"Hello." He said with a smile. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you, you don't look bad yourself."

"I could have tried better." He smiled and so did I. "Hungry?" He asked.

"Yes please, what's the time?"

"It's 10:41 am." He said.

My eyes widened. "I have to meet my brother this afternoon. We have plans with our cousins."

His nose scrunched up in disgust. "The cleaning service arrived an hour before and should be done before that."

"I'm sorry for all the trouble." I said.
