Episode 4 Him

“Dr. Joshua Walker was born 27 years ago in the United States of America. His parents and Joseph and Rafaella Walker. He has two siblings who are in college. He is a medical doctor, post graduated in robotics and computer engineering. He also owns the Walker corporation. A company that developed mechanical body parts that will adapt to living organisms naturally. Dr. Walker developed me and he also developed Love.” She completed.

“Who is Love?” I ask even more intrigued.

“Love is the AÍ adapted to his self driving car. She takes him places that I can’t. I guess I am jealous.” She jokes and I can’t help but laugh. “ Dr. Walker is very careful and very private. Besides being devastatingly handsome. He is also a gentleman. Same as his father Joseph and his brother Alvin. Dr. Walker also knows how to cook and clean. He also does laundry and fixes all kinds of gadgets around this place. He is a very competent doctor. When he was in the army he saved the lives of countless people.”

“Why are you telling me these things?”

“So you will not be afraid of staying here for as long as you would like. Doctor Walker will never harass or disrespect you. He is also tough and buff. He will beat the sh!t our if any man that will try to hurt his women.” She said in a very sultry voice.

“Does he live here?” I ask.

“This is his clinic and lab. His home in underground. Nobody goes there. Just him.”

“What about his family?”

“They all live in town.”

“Does he bring his girlfriends here?” Now, I am pushing.

“Dr. Walker is surrounded by female voices but he does not have a girlfriend or spouse. You are the only female that has seen this place except for his mother and his sister Amelia. I must ask you Miss. Are you romantically interested in Dr. Walker?”

“Genious, enough! Leave Miss White alone.” I heard his voice coming from the other room and I realized the he heard our entire conversation.

“ I like you Genious!” I said loud enough so he would hear me.

Dr. Walker walks back in the room and this time I feel a little more comfortable in his presence. Especially after all the information given to me by Genious. He walks slowly towards me and I noticed that he holds onto some of his furniture for mobility support. He keeps himself with 6 feet distance. His tall and overpowering figure dwarfs many people that I know including Teegan and my dad. He is also stronger that both and his voice although muffled by the mask is also very deep.

“Miss White, your clothes are ready for your as well as your purse. I dried out and cleaned everything. Your cell phone was dead, but I fixed it. I needed to replace some parts, but it’s like bran new now.” Handed my phone and pointed somewhere.

“You will be staying in the guest room and I will be spending the night next door in case you need anything. This way we will both be close to the lab when it is time for your medication.” He points and I follow him.

The room is beautiful. The decor is modern and functional. From the pictures to the floor, everything is harmonious and spacious. Several shades of beige and orange brings the room together in a perfect way. He pushes a button and lights of many colors appear in the ceiling. Another button and a delicious smell blows softly in the environment.

“These buttons will allow you to choose your must soothing color and this smell is to help you relieve stress and sleep soundly. If you don’t like this aroma...”

“ love it.” I say suddenly. Which makes him chuckle.

“Anyway, if you wanna try some of the other ones, there are the buttons. There is also a fridge with drinks and water. No alcohol though.” He stated.

“I don’t drink alcoholic beverages either.” I mentioned.

“ The bed linens are all washed and the mattress is hypoallergenic. There is a remote control on the night stand for the mattress. This was you can adjust firmness and fibration.” He says shy

“I like vibration. Vibrating things make me happy.” I say nonchalantly. He coughs with my comment. I sudden realize what I had just said and try to fix it with no success.

“ I mean, when I am in bed I like vibration. I mean the bed the vibrate.” He laughs out loud and I blush.

“Miss White I get it. No worries, your secret is safe with me.” He keeps laughing and I shake my head.

“ You should try the bed. Go ahead lay on it.”

“This is the most comfortable bed, I have ever laid on. Oh my gosh this is amazing. It feels like someone very fuzzy is hugging.” I say mesmerized.

“You should try my bed.” He invites. “ I am sorry, I didn’t mean that. Oh gosh. I gotta go.” He leaves me in that amazing room. Minutes later I hear a soft knock on my door.

“Miss White, I have your medicine.” He opens the door and gives me some pills. “there are females clothes in the closet. You are more than welcome to wear them. This is a room with a private bathroom and bathroom and toiletries supplies for your needs. Let me know if you need anything.” He leaves the room and I decide to take a shower and put some of his “female clothes” on. After cleaning myself and laying on that spectacular bed. I remember that the doctor fixed my phone. I look at my social media apps and I notice that someone has been posting picture of the wedding on my feeds. The pictures are mostly of me and my family members. They all look nice and I seem happy. This is odd! I think out loud. Who is the one doing this? It is surely nice though. I was actually pretty for my wedding. My mermaid dress made me look slim and that corset that my cousin Brooklyn made wear really tuck my mid section extra weight. It looked flawless in the pictures. My hair was also perfectly done. Honey brown curls with blonde and red highlights cascaded down my one side of my shoulders. The head arrangement follow the fall of curls making me look sublime. I had never looked better than on my wedding day. And I still don’t understand why my beloved Teegan called me ugly and fat during our reception. Now that I am thinking about it, I can safely say that this situation is very bizarre. First of all, during our six months courtship Teegan and I didn’t not see each other very much, but we texted every day and he told me the most romantic things I had ever heard from a man. Of course he was busy with his third semester of law school and I was busy with my computer science program. Talking late night was nearly impossible, but he always texted me and sent me funny memes and romantic quotes. On the weekends he had to study more to be able to catch up with his classes and he had many other responsibilities. As the president of his fraternity he has to organize many activities for his friends and be present anytime they travelled to Europe, went to clubs in Las Vegas or the beaches of Mexico. There was always many pictures of the boys on social media having a lot of fun with girls and booze, but Teegan’s was right there with them like a good leaderbehaving himself and making sure the boys were being taking care of. I have always very proud of him for that and more. Teegan had been the a nearly perfect gentleman. He refused to french kiss me before our wedding and never proposed sex with me. I love that about him. His grades and papers were the best in his class. His teachers love him and all of them were there cheering for our wedding. Perhaps, the pressure is being married so young got the best of him. Perhaps someone told some lies about me to him and that would justify his disdain for me. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. I will never know until I confront him. I have decided to call him tomorrow instead of today. I am still resentful of the way he treated me in our wedding day and in our dark and painful first night. There must be an explanation to all of that and I will yank the truth out of him tomorrow.

The next day ...

I wake up naturally. My body is fully relaxed on this amazing bed. I open my eyes and hear his muffled voice.

“Good morning Miss White!” The doctor who is seating on a chair by my bed greets me.

“What a hell! You scared me!” I say with my alarmed voice. “What a creepy guy!” I mumbled. He laughs and gets up. The freaking mask is still covering his face and I can only see his shaved strong jaw line.

“This mask gives the creeps. Why do you have to wear it?” I ask not very amused.

“It’s for safety. I am a doctor and I have to abide by safety measures.” He uses his professional tone. “ it’s passed noon and since you hadn’t been up I decided to check on you. I woke up here and you were having a nightmare, so I decided to collect some data. That is why I was seating down when you woke up.”

“Collecting data?” I ask in disbelief as I seat up and hold my weigh on my elbows facing him.

“Yes, for example. Who is Teegan and what did he do to you?”

“None of your business.” I speak harshly at him.

“It is my business if you are staying in my home and I have no idea what kind of thugs you got yourself involved with.” He marched my harsh tone. I shrug.

“I am calling the police if you don’t answer.” He stood up and grabbed his phone.

“Wait, let me just call my family first and then I will tell you everything.” I say looking for my phone.

“You know what is funny, you women have the habit enable bad guys to abuse you, but many of you will also lie to condemn other guys that had little or no intention to do evil. You will either tell me or you will tell the police.” He starts dialing.

“Stop! Don’t you see that I am scared, are you that insensitive?” I shout at him. “ just give a minute to call my family and I will tell you what happened.” I say in tears. He leaves the room and call Victoria, my dad’s secretary to see if I can collect some information.

“Hello, can I speak to Mr. White?” I pretend to be someone else.

“Mr. White is not in the building. He took the rest of the week of.” Victoria said.

“This is his cousin Adele. I tried to call his phone but he didn’t answer and I want to know he is doing.” I keep my lie going.

“Well, Adele his daughter Crystal is missing in the mountains and a rescue team is there looking for her. It’s over the news!“ I hang up the phone and go check the local news. What I see is beyond appaling.
