DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE
~~ The sun was shine and I decided that I need a shower. I got up and went to grab a shirt and pant. I headed towards the bathroom, but the moment I was about to close the door, the door flew open. There was loud giggling and I was nearly knocked over. There were maidens in the bathroom, giggling or setting up something. I raised my eyebrow. "Umm," I said and everyone turned to me, but they were still giggling and talking, "excuse me, this is the bathroom and I'm planning to take - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" I screamed. I swear this is the craziest thing that happened to me. One of the maiden stepped forward and started undressing me. "WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING?" I screamed, but this time everything stop. The bathroom was silence and you could hear a pin drop from the basket that a maid was holding. "What do you mean, sweetheart?" one of the maid asked. "What are you doing in the bathroom? I am trying to take a shower." I said. This is totally weird. The weirdest moment in my whole life I thought. "What do you mean? We help you, we -" another one of the maid said, but I interrupted. "I can take a shower on my own. I don't need any help." I told them. "We were hired to help you. We can't just sit around and do nothing. We get paid for this. We are your personal make - up artist, personal spa worker, make - over agent, personal cloth maker, dress preparer . . ." they went on and on and on, about what they do. I rolled my eyes. Does this family suffer this every day? I thought. I sighed. I guess I have to deal with it "So??? What is all this about???" I asked and sat on the side of the bath tub. "Well," said another maid, "we are supposed to make you look perfect tonight. The first dinner with the king, queen and prince. I stared at them. "Who?" I asked them. "The king, queen and prince." said the maid. She makes it sound like I am stupid. "Ok, I know, but who are they??" I asked them. "You know Mr. Cohen??? He is the king. Mrs. Cohen, the queen and Jason, the prince." They said. I gasped, this was weird. We are all of them. Jason's voice echo in my head. Now I get what Jason means. Maybe he is a royalty. I am starting to have a feeling this is coming more and more true. The ugly truth. I knew from these days on, my life will never be consider as normal. "King and queen of what?" I asked, "And is it true that they are werewolf?" I asked quietly. I really want to find out the true and I don't want to pretend like I am listening to a fantasy story. I just want them to tell me that this whole thing is not true. "Don't be silly, of course they are," one of the maid said. "Ok, sweetheart, let's not worry about these things. We have to get you ready for the big night." another maid said. Everything was set up; the bathtub was filled and full of bubbles. The make - up was set up on the sink, the towel, bathrobe and slipper were ready. "Did you pick this outfit?" one of the maiden said. I looked at her and nodded. "I can't believe - I mean, I am going to help you pick another outfit," said the said and I can tell she was my dress preparer or personal cloth maker. This is so richy I thought, I can't believe this was all happening. I told the maid to go out and come back later when I am finished with my bath. The maid went out and I got in the tub. I was starting to relax, letting all of the stress out, but again, the maid came in giggling. I sighed. Are they always like this? So teen. I said and rolled my eyes. The maid gather around me and started there job. They were taking my hair and washing it with this green thing and rubbing it with these green leaves. Another started messaging my shoulders and putting these long, black oval stones on my shoulders. My muscular was starting to relax a little, it was good. Than another maid, grabbed my hand and started messaging my arms, hand and finger. Another maid was messaging my feet and using these cool, ooze that makes your feet feels good. I was glad I am not ticklish there, I really like this whole thing, but I don't know their names. "Hey, guys, I really like this whole thing, but can I know your names?" I asked, it was awkward, because I was interrupting there giggling and gossips. "I'm Valerie, I am your make - up artist." said the one working with my hair. "I am Sunny," said the maid that complained about the outfit, "I am your dress preparer." "I am Vicky, I am your personal spa worker," said the one messaging my shoulders. "I am Beth, I am your massager and personal clothes designer," said the one messaging my arms, hands and fingers. I nodded. Than at the next second, they started chatting again. They act like I have never asked for their names. These girls could probably talk all day long. At some point of the conversation, I would catch a few words. "Oh my god, James would be coming over in a few days! Well, that is what I've heard." said Sunny. "Who's James?" I asked them. "Oh, he is Jason's brother, but he moved out of the house." said Sunny. I nodded. The next second, they started talking and working again. "I heard that he found his girl." said Valerie. "Where did he met her?" Beth asked. "Well, he meet her at work. She is new to the work place and he was her tour guide. That must be so romantic." Valerie said dreamily. All the girl sighed at the same time. I frowned and rolled my eyes. Are they always like this? I thought. "I heard that they make - out on the first day." Valerie said and everyone giggled. "Is she human??" Vicky asked. I frowned, I felt like it was an insult, like they must separate human and werewolves. They also act like I am not here, even though I am not fully human. "Oh, I heard that she is a human." said Valerie. "What are the king and queen going to do about it??" asked Sunny. "Well, they tried to convince James to break up with her. But he doesn't agree with it." Valerie said. I was listening to their whole conversation. Maybe I can learn something about their family. "That's bad." said Vicky. "Yeah, I know right." said Valerie, "the king is planning to invent something that could change her into a werewolf." I gasped. Everyone stopped talking and look at me like I never exist in their world. "Really??" I asked, "That is a pretty big thing to do and she doesn't know that werewolves exist in the world." "Yeah, we know, but James loves her enough to marry her. And in the world of werewolf, it is forbidden for werewolves to marry human." Beth said, "So that's the only way for them to be together." My eyes widen. "Don't worry, Mr. Cohen could take care of everything." Beth said, "He is good at inventing medicines." "Inventing???" I asked. "Yeah, Mr. Cohen is a scientist. He always invents medicines like these." Vicky said. Wow!! I met a scientist that is rich and a royalty I thought. "I also heard that the girl's ancestor are werewolves, but her parents not." Valerie continued to talk. These girls do know awfully a lot of gossips. Sunny quickly glanced at her watch and gasped. "Oh no!!! We have to hurry!!! The dinner is almost starting!!! We only have 1 hour and a half to get ready!!!" Sunny exclaimed. "We don't need to hurry. We have plenty of time left." I said, "I take only 20 minutes to dress!" Everything stopped and they gasped like I said the worse thing in the whole world. "What?!" I said, "I do." "Oh no, you did not just - I mean, really??" Sunny said. "Yeah, what's the problem with that?" I asked her. "Nothing, I didn't know there was people that takes only 20 minutes to - " "No time, we have to hurry." Vicky said. They quickly wrapped everything up and walked out the door to let me wear my bathrobe. I opened the door and they quickly took my hand to set me down in front of the mirror. I looked in the mirror. I looked different, instead of just night black hair, my hair was shiny and it looks soft. I even looked more relaxed than usual. I felt like it was magic that washed over me, making me beautiful in just a second. I smiled at the girl in front of me. It was hard to believe that girl was me. The maid didn't even have the time for them to look at me in the mirror; they just worked and worked and worked - still talking. I didn't even listen to what they were saying this time. I was just staring at the mirror, who become more and more beautiful each second. They helped me put on a light dress that aren't too fancy. Than they helped me put on my make - up. "You're done!" exclaimed Valerie. She beamed at all of her hard work on the make - up. "Oh, thank you, I never - how can I thank you?" I asked. "Oh, it's nothing, I could do this everyday." said Valerie. "No, you don't have to. That's a lot of work." I said, feeling like I am asking too much. "Oh, no! We have 10 more minutes left." exclaimed Vicky. "I've got the shoe!" exclaimed Sunny, who rushed in the room, holding my shoe high up in the air. "High heels?" I asked. They nodded. "No, I can't," I said, "I can't walk on high heels." "I'll try to find another pair, ok?" Sunny said and ran out the room. I really don't walk on heels. There was this one time when I was trying to walk on heel, but I end up twisting my ankle. She ran back in with a pair of flats. "Here." I quickly slipped it on and they lead my down the stair, down to the dining room. Everyone was there waiting for me. "Sorry for the delay." I said looking at Mr. and Mrs. Cohen. "It's ok," Jason said and my eyes drifted over to meet his. I stared at him for a few second, before he got up and helped me to my seat. I felt weird. I felt like I don't belong here with everyone. I never felt so elegant and fancy in my life. My eyes drifted over everyone, I have to shake my head a little to stop the staring. "Everything is ready to eat!" said Mrs. Cohen. She snapped her finger's and all of the maidens came in with trays of food in their hand. "Let's eat as much as you can, welcome yourself," Mrs. Cohen said and clasped her hands. I smiled and nodded. I don't want to be disrespectful anymore. The maiden laid the trays down and I took a good look at the food. They were beautifully arranged and my mouth watered a little. I realized how hungry I was and my memories of this afternoon were forgotten. "Vanessa, honey, welcome yourself to eat," said Mrs. Cohen, "You didn't even touch the food yet and 2 minutes passed." I nodded. "Is not your kind of appetite?" asked Mr. Cohen and frowned. "No, no, no, it is, I just don't know what to eat first. Everything seems so delicious." I said. Everyone laughed. "Just get everything if you like. You have to eat something before eating your medicine." Mr. Cohen said and I started eating. "Oh, honey, we forgot to tell you," Mrs. Cohen said, "Jason's brother is coming over, 3 days from now. His name is James." I looked at her. "Yeah, he is coming to stay for a few days, right?" Jason asked. Mr. Cohen nodded. We talked about James and about his girlfriend. By the time the dinner was over, I was extremely tired. I bet it was pass midnight. "Don't forget to take your medicine." said Mr. Cohen as he walked up the stairs. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of water before taking the medicine. "How was it?" Jason asked me in the kitchen. "Great, just so tired," I said, "Now get out of my way, I want to sleep." I dragged my feet which hurt like crazy and force my eyes open, which was hardly opened. "Need help?" Jason asked and chuckled at me. "Hey, stop laughing at me, I am extremely tired." I said and slapped him on the arms. "Fine, just tell me something, how do I look?" he asked, while climbing up the stairs. I turned at him and looked at him. He was still wake away. I bet he was always up this last at night. "They need a lot of help, whoever picked your clothes." I said and dragged along; the stairs seem "Fine, just tell me something, how do I look?" he asked, while climbing up the stairs.long right now. "Really?" he asked, sounding as if it was an unexpected answer. I really didn't mean what I said, but I didn't care. I threw the door open and threw myself on the bed. I could hear Jason undress, but I dare not to open my eyes. But when I feel the bed sink a little, my eyes flew open. "What are you doing here?" I asked, turning to face him. "Going to sleep on the bed." He whispered. "No, you can't. You can't sleep on the bed." "What?" He said. "You can't sleep on the bed with me." I said and shifted myself to the farther end on the bed. "Than where will I sleep?" Jason said, sounding more awake. "On the sofa." I said. "No way!!!!" He said, "I will never sleep on the sofa. Not in a million years!!!" "Well, sleep on the floor than." I said. "Never." He said. "We can't sleep together. I will never fall asleep. I never slept with someone in my life and I never will." I said. Remember when I was younger, saying I will stay a single forever. "Well, I can't sleep on the floor or the sofa." He said. "You have to. Fine than, I am moving to another room." I said and got up. I grabbed a pillow when there was a knock on the door. "Come in." said Jason. "What's going on in here?" asked Mrs. Cohen in a quiet voice, who was in her night rode. "Nothing, everything is fine, we give getting ready to sleep." Jason said. "Why's there a pillow in your hand, Vanessa?" asked Mrs. Cohen. "Oh, I was planning to sleep on the sofa." I said. "The sofa?" she asked with disbelief. "Yes." "Jason?" she said, "How can you let her do that?" "I was the one who planned it, I am feeling uncomfortable." I said quickly and Jason looked at me. Mrs. Cohen chuckled, "Vanessa, you will get used to it. Just sleep together for one night and I am sure you will get over it." I didn't say anything. "Now, sleep together for tonight and Vanessa, do you need me to call them to come in and help you take off the dress?" asked Mrs. Cohen. By the them, I knew right away it was the girls. I quickly shook my head and blushed. "Alright now, let's go to sleep. And did you take the pills?" she asked. I nodded, "Good night." She left the room. I grabbed my clothes that Sunny was complaining about and throw it on. The dress was hard to take off. I put the dress on the hanger and got into bed. A few minutes later, Jason lay down next to me. I moved as far as I can to get away from him. I clutched the blanket in my hand and my heart beat fast. "You really feel this nervous about me next to you, right?" he asked and I jumped a little. I didn't say anything. He silently got up and left the bed. I watched him at the corner of my eyes, as he went to the closet and grabbed another blanket and pillow out. He went to the sofa and lay down. Then, there was a long silent. I guess he fell asleep. I couldn't sleep even when I was sleepy before. I got up and walked over to the window. I sat at the window seat and opened the window a little. I can smell that leafy smell like trees were just cut down. I stare at the moon. The wedding will be held, two weeks after the full moon I thought, that's so close from now. I leaned on the wall and stare at the forest out there for a long time, before I fell asleep.
