Chapter 29
Claire did just as she was told. She removed her clothes totally and threw it away at the corner of the bathroom. Then she got inside the bathtub.
"It's cold…" Claire said slowly. "The water temperature is making me freeze!"
"That's an exaggeration, Luna!" Charlotte replied jokingly. She laughed as she said this.
"It isn't…" Claire replied. "The water is truly too cold for my liking. You should have gotten warm water instead. It's better for skin care."
This made Charlotte and Claire remain blank. As for Claire, she didn't know what just happened. According to what she knew, her memory had been lost. How then did she know that warm water was better for skin care! What and who gave her that knowledge?
As for Charlotte, she remained blank because the Luna she had always known disliked bathing with warm or hot water. According to her, only sick people should bath with warm water. She had always wanted cold water. Now, she was the one complaining and telling her that warm water was better for skin care. This was truly weird. What was really happening?
"But you have always wanted cold water…" Charlotte said slowly. "You always said that warm or hot water was for sick or aged people. What do you mean now?"
Claire took a deep sigh.
"Charlotte!" Claire called.
"Yes, Luna!" Charlotte replied.
"I want to tell you something right now and I want you to take it as an order from me…" Claire began by saying. "Are you listening to me?"
"I am!" Charlotte replied. "I am listening carefully and attentively to you right now."
"Very well…" Claire began by saying. "This past few hours we have spent together, we have built a lot of memories. You have picked certain behaviors that I don't practice before but I wish to practice now. Am I right or not?"
"You are right, Luna!" Charlotte affirmed. She was trying to guess what Claire could be meaning to say. All these was hidden in her heart.
"Now, it's getting too much and I don't like it anymore. I want this to stop and I mean right now…" Claire said tenderly. She wasn't angry. She was only trying to be rigid so that her statement would be taken very serious. "From now on, do not note whatever I do that contradicts what I used to do before. This is a new me and I want you to accept me like this. Don't you like the new development?"
"I do, Luna!" Charlotte noted. She was resisting herself to say more but because of how comfortable she was with Claire, she had to go on. "But the development is too much for me to bear. It's a big development!"
"I know how big it is…" Claire began to say now. "But I also know that it isn't impossible to manage. You can do it, Charlotte. You can do it properly. I know you are capable and that's why I am saying this. Do you understand?"
"I do, Luna! I will do as you have said. You have absolutely nothing to worry about!" Charlotte noted. She knew what to do.
"Good!" Claire said to her. "Now, we should go on and do what we have to do, right?"
"Yes, Luna!" Charlotte replied.
They talked no more. Charlotte positioned Claire properly in the bathtub before she began to throw scented leaves inside the water which Claire was in. These leaves were fragrant and they would make Claire's skin scent sweetly.
"Now, do you agree that these leaves would work more if they were accompanied with warm water?" Claire asked simply. She had no other reasons apart from the reason of knowing.
"Definitely! It would have been better if it were accompanied with warm water…" Charlotte agreed.
"As from tomorrow…" Claire continued saying. "I will want you to get warm water for me to bath. This cold water of a thing doesn't really fit my beautiful skin? I need to take care of my skin properly to keep it glowing!"
"Alright, Luna!" Charlotte agreed.
After soaking Claire, Charlotte washed her clean and then transferred her into another bathtub where she was soaked once more before she dried herself up. They had to do this quickly as the time to have breakfast with the Alpha was fast approaching.
After doing all these, Charlotte helped Claire into the dressing room where they spent a lot of time in choosing dresses. The old Claire had loved decent dresses but when Charlotte recommended those sort of dresses, Claire couldn't help but imagine what it would feel to be on her body.
"What's this?" Claire asked. "This is over decent! It's showing nothing! Not even my cleavage! How do you expect me to wear this?"
"You used to love these kind of dresses, Luna…" Charlotte noted. "I never knew your dressing sense has changed as well. Please forgive me!"
"It's okay!" Claire replied.
"What do I get for you now as your dress?" Charlotte asked slowly. She was getting used to Claire's weird behavior.
"I want a red robe…" Claire began. "It should be a very big one. I want it to look like that of an Empress. As for the gown inside, I want it to fit the area between my upper body down my waist then it should be wide downwards. I know I didn't use the proper terms but you should understand me."
"I do…" Charlotte said. "But are you sure you want to flaunt your cleavage? You never wanted people to see your body?"
"Leave it! Last time I checked in the bathroom, I noticed I have quite a big share of boobs. Why don't I flaunt it? Do as I said!" Claire replied sarcastically.
Charlotte didn't bother arguing. She did as she was told.
And finally, Claire was ready. She had the red robe on her. Her shoes were high red heels which she passionately loved. Now, she was going to meet the Alpha, her lover who she remembered nothing about.
What would happen to her?
