Summer

Iwoke and panicked when I didn’t immediately recognize my surroundings.
Confusion filled me and my brain felt foggy.
Looking up at the chandelier that hung from the ceiling with its crystal shards sloping down confirmed I wasn’t in the grubby apartment I’d rented.
I turned on myside and was met with sheets soft and silky and I sunk into the comfort of the cozy bed I lay on.
I remembered now.
Alex.
I was at his place.
This was his guest room, which like his bedroom, looked like it belonged in a hotel.
I sat up and looked at the beauty of it, taking the moment to relax and not worry.
Taking the moment to have a moment.
I noticed an envelope on the edge of the bed when I straightened up. It had Angel swirled across the front of it.
Since Alex had taken to calling me that I assumed it had to be for me.
I shuffled over to it and opened it. There was a note inside that said:
Hi Angel,
Don’t get mad at me. I got you some stuff. Had to look through your suitcase to get the correct size, although I was going to get size perfect. Go into the room to the left. Hope you like the additional sets in the Victoria’s Secret bag.
Knock yourself out. Also if you need help getting dressed just call me.
Luv,
A.
I didn’t even realize I was smiling, but I was.
This guy was something else. He really was. I felt like I was imposing enough just being here, he shouldn’t have taken the trouble to buy me anything.
I did wonder though what he could have bought me.
Victoria’s Secret was probably a dead giveaway for lingerie, which I couldn’t be squeamish about given our meeting and first night together.
I wanted to see what time it was because I didn’t know how long I’d slept for but I was intrigued to see what he’d gotten me.
I went to the door that opened to the room on the left. When I opened it I froze. It was a walk in wardrobe with the rails running on either side, but that wasn’t what made me freeze.
There were four rails in front on me full of clothes. On top of the first rail was a sign saying:
These are all for you, Angel
My mouth dropped. One rail had Dior printed on the pole , the others were Gucci, Channel and Cartier.
