Mr. Cohen is a scientist
“”
“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 cr@zy 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 und*ress, 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.
