'My blanket isn't as soft as this'. I thought as I opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the amount of sunlight coming from the window.

Memories from yesterday came flooding back. I was actually in Cole's bed, I slept in Cole's bed!

It wasn't actually yesterday because Cole came back after midnight.

I looked at the small digital clock on Cole's bedside table.

2:42pm?!? For how long did I sleep?!?

Cole was not on the bed, he'd probably gone for another meeting.

I stood up and rubbed my eyes.

Just as I was about to walk into the bathroom, the bathroom door opened and a shirtless Cole stood before me.

Do you always have to do this?!? I thought.

"Do you always have to do this?" I asked, voicing out my thoughts and also shielding my eyes.

"Well, morning to you too and what did I do?" He asked, walking to his wardrobe.

I rolled my eyes.

"Do you always have to come out shirtless?" I said.

"What?" He asked innocently. "Or did I get you turned on?"

This guy was unbelievable!!!

"What?!? Hell No!!!"

"Are you sure?" He asked, wriggling his eyebrows.

"Huh, just get dressed". I said, walking into the bathroom.

I closed the door behind me and saw a new set of toothbrush and paste.

"Are they for me?" I yelled.

"What?!" He yelled back.

"The toothbrush and paste".

"Yes!"

Jeez! I haven't brushed in days!

How was Cole or anyone else comfortable around me?!?

I put a small amount of paste on the new brush and brushed my teeth like I hadn't brushed in years.

After brushing my teeth, I had my bath and then I realized I didn't bring my clothes again! I always forgot.

I wrapped the towel securely around my body and walked into the bedroom.

Cole was sitting by his study table by then. He barely noticed my presence so I quietly walked to the closet and picked out a white tank top and black jean pants.

"Do you always have to do this?" Cole asked, mimicking what I said earlier.

"What?"

"Coming out of the bathroom with a towel being the only thing hiding your body".

I blushed stupidly.

"Wh- What are you saying?" I asked.

"Why are you cheeks red?" He asked teasingly.

I waved him off and walked to the bathroom.

I got dressed and walked back to the bedroom.

I dried my hair and tied it up in a rough bun and then went to sit by the window.

As time went by, I started getting hungry but Cole was still busy with whatever he was doing.

I decided to bring up small talk with him.

"Do you ever watch TV?" I asked.

"No. Why?" He said, not looking up.

"Like you seriously don't watch TV? Do you have one here?"

"Do you want to watch TV? If you do, then I'll take you to my office when I'm done with this".

He has an office? Wow!

"You have-"

"Enough questions already. I'm trying to concentrate here". He said, cutting me short.

"Oh, okay". I said.

Hours passed by and he was finally done.

He stood up and walked over to me.

"You must be hungry". He said, sitting beside me.

I nodded.

"I'll order your food, okay?".

"Okay". I said.

He picked up his cellphone and dialed a number, the receiver picked up at the second ring.

"Bring my food to my room". He said and ended the call.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

I stood to open it but he beat me to it.

He took the food from the slave and closed the door.

He walked back to me and handed over the food to me.

Why would he give me his food?

"Huh, this is your food". I said.

"And I'm giving it to you". He said.

"Um, thanks".

The food tasted superb.

The vampires here were different from the ones in the movies or books.

According to what I learnt from the movies, vampires do not eat human food but the vampires here eat like humans do.

There are a lot of things about the vampires here that I still didn't understand.

*

After eating, I thanked Cole for the food and went back to the window.

I was getting used to that.

My mind went back to the last thing that I'd want to think of.

My nightmare.

It still scared the crap out of me.

It was like the nightmare was trying to tell me something that I couldn't understand.

Since I wasn't told about the cause of my mom's death, I didn't have the slightest clue.

A tap on my shoulder brought me back to reality.

I turned to look at Cole.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

I only shook my head.

"Lying again uh?" He said.

I remained silent.

"Is it about the nightmare?" He asked.

How'd he know? I don't remember telling him.

I nodded.

"And you don't want to talk about it?"

I shook my head.

He sighed.

After a long moment of silence, he spoke up again.

"We're gonna be hosting a party tomorrow". He said.

"The party will be filled with different vampires and the worst thing is... we have to take our pets".

I swallowed hard.

This wasn't going to be good.

"I've told a slave to bring some clothes for you so you'll choose something that suits your preferences". He said.

"I can just wear any cloth from the closet". I said.

"I want you to be dressed in something better than that".

I nodded.

~

All the clothes were too revealing so I chose a red dress that was a little bit less revealing than the other clothes.

It was a really pretty dress.

I went into the bathroom to change into the red dress.

After putting on the dress, I went back to the room.

I swear, I saw Cole's jaw drop.

I smirked.

"How do I look?" I asked.

Cole opened his mouth to say something but closed it back.

Jeez, he couldn't form a sentence. Does he know how flattered he's making me just by acting like that?

He cleared his throat and spoke up.

"You look nice". He said.

Seriously, I was expecting more than that but that was a nice comment coming from Cole.

His reaction showed a lot more.

I smiled.

"Now check the shoes". He said.

He tried to persuade me into picking a pair of heels but my hatred for heels made me refuse.

My step sister always made me to wear heels when I had to follow her to parties but I stopped wearing heels since the day that my heels got stuck in the drain.

I got furious and ended up leaving it there.

I miss those days of freedom but now I'm nothing but a human pet in a world filled with vampires.

I picked a pair of red flats and put them on.

They fit me perfectly.

I stood up and twirled.

"Are you sure you're ready for tomorrow?" He asked.

"Of course".

I'd like to show off my pretty dress tomorrow.

Though it was revealing but I cared less. After all, I'm nothing but a pet.

I was happy because I hadn't worn something like that in such a long time.

I felt like a princess.

Princess?!? A voice mocked at the back of my head.

You are nothing but a pet!

Yeah, that was the truth.

That fact made me sad but I brushed away the feeling and returned to being my cheerful self.

*

After changing into shorts and a tank top, I lay the blanket on the floor and closed my eyed to sleep.

"You're not sleeping there, are you?" Cole said.

I opened my eyes and sat up.

I nodded.

"No you're not". He said, pulling me up.

"Please, I don't want to sleep on your bed". I pleaded.

He let go of my hand and at looked at me in confusion.

"Why not?" He asked with confusion laced in his voice.

"You're my Master and it's against the rules to sleep in your bed as a pet".

Yup, Chloe told me that.

Cole sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

"Brittany, as long as we're in this room alone, I don't want to hear these Master and Pet terms, okay?"

'But why?'

I wanted to ask but I found myself nodding instead.

I went to the side of the bed I slept on last time and lay down.

I closed my eyes again and slowly fell asleep.

What's tomorrow gonna be like?
