Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

Sitting in the house and fidgeting with my fingers was no use.

Ryan slept that night with Rose again and I could hardly get any sleep.

I sat outside in the sun as the morning came, wondering what I would be doing for the rest of the day since Ryan had forbidden me from going anywhere outside of the house. It meant I was exempted from my duties at his various outlets, namely, his office, bar, restaurant etc.

I smiled as Bellow brought me a cup of tea along with a biscuit in his hand.

” Thank you, little handsome man. “I patted his head as he smiled shyly and then went over to the store house in the backyard.

Within a minute he brought out a load of gardening equipment.

” What are these for? ” I stood up from my spot and walked over to him, to ask.

He showed me the flowers that needed tending all around the place.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

This was a nice opportunity to get myself some work. An empty head was one’s worst enemy, that was what my father always said.

” Did Bellow pay you to do this? ”

I had only had a few minutes of solitary bliss as my hands dug the soil up along with the gravel. But it seemed like it displeased Ryan a great bit. He was standing in front of me as I looked up, brushing away my hair strand from my face with my muddy, gloved hand.

” Why? Is there any problem? ” I asked, looking very confused at his question.

” Yes, there is. There are other jobs that you need to be doing. ” He said.

” Oh, I am sorry! ” I immediately stood up.

I walked back after him, leaving the spade and gloves behind as Bellow watched us.

He walked me straight inside his room.

Was he doing that on purpose?

The bed looked like a mess. There were pillows everywhere. And in the middle of that sat Rose, rubbing her eyes and adjusting her camisole.

” Good morning Ryan. Good morning Sherry! ” She stood up and walked inside the bathroom.

” Tidy up the room Sherry. You know we had a rough night. ” He said. But it did not end there.

” After you are done, help Rose get ready. We have some place to go. Make sure you choose the dress that she will wear. ”

I opened my mouth to protest but nothing came out of them so I closed them back again.

I went straight to the bed and started picking up the pillows and doing my errand.

To my surprise, Ryan didn’t leave. He went over to the couch and sat there, watching me clean. Very well. I didn’t care.

I folded the sheets, adjusted the bedcover then bent down to see what else had fallen on the ground.

My heart stopped. Underneath the bed were two pairs of underwear. One was a male boxer and the other was a woman’s thong.

My fingers almost shook as I tried picking them up.

What was wrong with me? Didn’t I already know what an adult male and female were engaging in when they spent the night together.

My eyes flipped up as my gaze met Ryan’s. His eyes were fixated on me as if reading every move I made. Was this some sort of a game for him?

I angrily stood up, ” I believe these belong to you guys. What do you want me to do with them? “I asked haughtily.

Ryan left just then, without even bothering to answer me.

Just then Rose came back to the room and I tossed their underwear in the laundry bin, absolutely unwilling to bring up the conversation related to those being there. Hearing about how Ryan f* her so bad that she forgot where she had left her underwear was the last of things that I needed details about.

I spent the next few minutes helping Rose decide on what she was going to wear. Apparently, even she didn’t know where they were headed. It was supposed to be a surprise. Duh! How romantic… my foot!

I stood there after she left.

I wasn’t feeling very well all of a sudden. My abdomen began to cramp and I sat on the bed, clutching my stomach because of the pain. I crouched on the bed, holding my legs together, and in the process, leaned back on the pillow and half of the bed.

Suddenly I heard footsteps heading my way.

I immediately sat up, despite the pain.

It was Ryan and behind him was Rose. Both running.

Ryan came at me with no warning and slapped me right across the face. Though it wasn’t with his full force, it was enough to send me back on the bed.

The scene collected a gasp from Rose who covered her mouth and Beck and Josh’s curious stares as they had just joined the scenario.

It wasn’t my first time getting slapped in public by my boss and it wasn’t even that hard. Why then was I burning from inside? I couldn’t even look up.

” Is this how you get my date ready for me? Is this your taste? ”

He howled at me as if I had committed a murder and the sympathetic glances from the rest weren’t helping.

” How can you be so cheap and low class? What the hell were you thinking? ”

I listened to everything he had to say and waited for him to be silent.

My body was almost giving away. It was that time of the month when Godzilla invaded the planet within my uterus. I couldn’t be bothered with my emotional imbalance at the moment, even if I wanted to.

” Sorry, ” I could barely utter the word before shoving him away and running towards the washroom.

I went straight in and sat in there as the first chunk of clotted blood fell on the commode.

I guess I was kind of stuck there because I had completely forgotten to bring my sanitary cloth.

I sat there and let the warm water run over my lady area and abdomen. It felt nice and relaxing. When suddenly I heard someone push open the first door.

” Sherry… Sherry, where are you? Are you alright? ”

It was Ryan. And it felt like he had run his way there and his voice also felt paranoid.

“Yes, I am fine. I am here! ”

I whispered as low as I could because answering him while sitting inside the toilet was nothing less than embarrassment.

” No! You are not! I smell blood. You are lying. Open the door right now. Let me come in.”

What under the good heavens was that? Was he going to force his way inside my toilet? That was a new low.

” No! No! You absolutely can’t. I forbid you Ryan. You cannot walk into a girl in the washroom even if she is your bonded labor… ”

But he didn’t let me complete my sentence. He broke the door open before that.

” Sherry I am sorry , I didn’t mean to … ”

He fumbled as he poured in and I pulled up my pants, faster than an Olympic runner.

He grabbed my shoulder and scanned me down,

” Where are you hurt? ” His question this time had utter confusion.

” I told you , I wasn’t hurt anywhere. ”

I answered looking at the door which was now useless.

” There is blood… Sherizad… ”

He was yelling in a frenzy but his speech dropped as that name of mine popped out.

“Periods Ryan. What is your problem? I am on my period and if you would excuse me, I will need to change into a tampon or pad or something before I start to stain my clothes. “
