To Buy A Beauty...

Chapter 7

I went to bed that night physically and emotionally drained. What was he expecting me to do? If Nate could tell when I was lying then so could two heads of a giant buisness?

I shucked off the thin blanket that Amelia had set out for me and sat up. My head wasn't pounding as hard as it was the day before and I didn't feel as sick which was a relief to me.

The morning sun filtered through the windows sending streams of light onto the hard wood floor. The first thing that came to mind was that I was probably late for work. Nate will be furious. 

My foggy brain snapped to it's senses. Nate! He will think I'm skipping out on him, that I'm dying, or that I've been kidnapped. Well, more the last one than anything else. 

Technically I was living where I was supposed to be; I just wasn't living with my father. 

I hopped out of bed and went over to my wardrobe. I pulled it open and jeans were stacked on little shelves while shirts and dresses hung on a little rod. There was a mirror on the inside of the door and it was the first time in a few days I had actually seen myself. I looked like I had awakened from the dead.

My hair was every where and my face was as white as paper. I had deep purple bags under my eyes and I looked gaunt and fragile. Nothing like I had before.

I walked over to the washroom and peeled out of my clothes and turned on the shower waiting for it to heat up. I showered off all the dirt and grim that had accumilated over the past few days. I felt like me again.

I felt like some of the me that I lost returned. I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. I walked out of the washroom drying my hair with another towel only to drop it in shock. 

Henry in all his sexy glory was leaned back on my bed again, shirtless. I felt the heat rise up in my cheeks.

"What the hell are you doing in here?!" I yelled throwing my free towel in my hand at him and tightened the one around my body.

His eyes raked over me once and he licked his lips like he had after he kissed me. He was sick.

"Came to see my beautiful girlfriend." He chuckled lining every word with sarcasm. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, get the hell out! I'm not letting you watch while I change!" I yelled running into the bathroom shutting the door and locking it. 

"This one is stubborn." I heard him chuckle as he left and shut the door behind him. I groaned leaning up against the door. I put my hand up to my chest and felt my heart racing. 

After a couple of minutes getting my pulse back down to normal I finally decided to go out and get dressed. 

I threw on a t-shirt and jeans throwing on a pair of converse to finish off. I brushed through my hair which was agonizingly painful and finally decided to go to the dining hall for food. It's finally time I get something to eat.

One hour later. One fucking hour later and I still hadn't found the dining room from my bedroom. I groaned in frustration and heard a fimiliar giggle making me jump.

"There you are! Got lost did you?" Lex was standing behind me with an amused smile. I nodded meekly and she rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand feeling my temperature in the process.

"Still a slight fever, but nothing a nice bowl of soup and grilled cheese won't fix." She smiled pulling me along a series of hallways that I swore I had passed by at least three times a piece.

Finally we had came across two tall doors. Lex had pulled one open and gestured me to go in and let me tell you I was shocked by what I saw.

Henry was sitting at the far side of the table with a blonde girl in his lap and she wasn't feeding him I can tell you that, well unless shoving her tongue down his throat meant feeding him.
