Good Or Bad Influence

Hera took the next few minutes to unpack her belongings. She was busily arranging her stuff to put them away neatly. She wasn't used to a disorganized space. She liked it when everything around her was kept where they should be and in good condition for easy access. After unpacking, she decided to wash off in her bathroom that was specifically built in her own side of the bedroom. She has never been exposed to this sort of luxury in her entire life. When she was done, she wore a casual dress, sat down on her bed and took in her

supposed bedroom for the umpteenth time that afternoon. Just then she noticed the door and stood up to slide it open.

She twisted the door knob and it gave way. Just like he said, she stepped into his bedroom. He wasn't joking when he said that he wasn't going to let her out of his sight cause her room is intertwined with his. When he said next to his, she had thought that he meant side by side or opposites but how wrong had she been. It wasn't side by side at all. Her room practically lives in his room.

"Oh dear God!" She whispered to herself. Her hands flew up to scratch her head nervously. She couldn't believe it. No wonder he was so calm about bringing her here. Bryce, the manipulator.

She should've known not to trust him more often. She should've learned to cross check and double check by now. Just as she tried to take in everything around her, she heard preceding footsteps approaching her. She quickly abandoned her thoughts and made for her side of the bedroom.

She heard the door open and after a while, it was shut close. Her brain registered that he was back. Her heart was thumping loudly. He wasn't even in her side of the bedroom so why was she this nervous? Is this how it's going to be from now henceforth? Maybe, she should've just struggled harder to disagree rather than come here to live with him.

If given the chance to switch choices, would she have made the same choice or a different one? Because it seems like ever since she met Bryce, she has always been making the choices that she normally wouldn't make if she was still in the convent. Was he a good or bad influence on her?

"Hera?" He called out to her. "Did you come into my bedroom?" He mused. His voice a mixture of amusement and excitement. None of which felt reassuring at the moment.

"Well...er-" She paused. "I was a bit curious when I saw the door and decided to check it out. I didn't know it led to your side of the bedroom. You didn't tell me that it did." She whispered the last part to herself.

He chuckled. "But I already told you didn't I? I'm not letting you out of my sight even for a single moment. You're stuck with me belléssima."

"How did you know?" She asked, shying her eyes away as though he could see her. "How did you know that I was in your bedroom?"

"There's only one woman in my life who uses lavender." He answered knowingly. "I don't need to try too hard when it comes to you my dear. I know you like the back of my palm." Bryce stated proudly as though he had won a trophy.
