Her Forever (Book 2)- Chapter 11

Rosalie

I woke up to the loud beeping noise of my phone’s alarm going off. I’m not sure exactly what time I went to bed last night, but I’m sure it was late. I couldn’t take my herbal sleeping pills or ask about having a lock put on the door. Waking myself up every few hours to make sure I didn’t go into a deep sleep and listen for any noises at the door was exhausting. With a giant yawn and feeling my back crack a few times, I went to shower.

This was the first time I had a good look at the bathroom. It was huge. The light colors in the room matched the rest of the house. Splashes of pink and grey decorated the counters with soap dispensers, towels, and loofas. The small green succulent plants lined the nearby shelving, giving it a relaxing spa feel. Stripping my clothes and trying my best to avoid the mirror, I hopped in the steam shower and let out the best lovely moan I could. My eyes were closed, and I could just feel the hot steam scorch my body. It felt so good!

Looking at the shoes, I put on some cute red, low-top converse sneakers that would shape up my outfit nicely. Looking in the mirror, I couldn’t help but admire it. Besides the royal blue dress at my “thank you” dinner, this was the first brand new outfit I’ve ever had to call mine. As a smile crept up my
