As the morning sunlight peeked within the curtain and irradiated on Evan's face, a slight groan left his lips. He turned to his side and found Daniella dozing tightly.
He simpered, slowly got up and looked around.
Last night, he didn't get to have the chance to look around but the bedroom has the sweet vanilla smell of Daniella while the design differed her personality.
The white walls with Daisy flower prints looked almost real, even the leaves on the wall seemed to have been drawn by a great artist, it almost alive giving the room a serene ambiance.
A spacious room which almost twice of the master bedroom in the Su Villa, and he's standing in the middle next to the soft bed he slept on.
He bit his lips to prevent his smile from widening when he saw the couch with their muddy clothes on.
He walked towards it and picked them up and then entered the bathroom – the place where they stayed for a long time last night.
He looked around and found a basket, he put the dirty clothes inside and looked at his reflection through the glass wall of the shower.
The quietness of the place was deafening, yet it didn't bother him instead it gave a peaceful feeling inside of him.
He got out of the bathroom after putting his robe. Carefully, he walked out of the room.
His feet touched the softness of the fur carpet on the floor, he looked down and found that it was not a typical fur from the animal, 'what is this?' he asked himself and ran his finger on it.
He straightened up, from all the stress last night he forgot that he hasn't eaten.
As he tried to find the kitchen, sweat appeared on his forehead in big pieces. From the hallway to the stairs, the place was giving him a strange vibe, unlike what he felt in the bedroom.
The place was huge, the wideness of the hallway was almost the same size as a normal road - wide and empty, even the wall has nothing than the white paint.
He gulped hard and halted when he reached the last step of the stairs. His expression hardened to see machines moving around the house quietly.
He focused at the circular machine on the wall moving up, and down sucking all the dust on the wall.
When he turned to his left and he found a door. He walked towards it in big steps. When he opened the door, it snapped, the sound was faint but it echoed around.
He rubbed his eyes, blinked when he found a huge room with so much furniture, unlike the hallway. He walked inside, from the looked of it, seemed like it's the living room.
It has a traditional western style living room and the huge wall glass was giving so much light inside, it was like having a living room outside.
He felt a disturbing feeling in his stomach so he walked out and went to the next door he found.
Relief flooded his mind when he finally found the kitchen. If he knew that the place was as big as this, he would have asked Daniella for a map.
He walked towards the refrigerator, as he pulled the door opened, his eyes swelled.
Evan froze as he stared at the animal that suddenly appeared from the refrigerator.
'Is this poisonous?' he asked himself.
The hiss of the snake made every hair on his skin to crawl, and when the head of the snake stretched, his face whitened.
'Damn it! It's a cobra' he cursed inside.
He stared at the snake while the animal did the same. Both of them were waiting for each other's movement.
He knew that if he closes the refrigerator door. it will smash half of the snake body but, what if the snake bites him first?
He gulped hard, his hand was about to move and smash the door when Daniella's voice sounded from behind.
"I was looking all over for you."
Hearing her voice, Evan didn't think twice and grabbed her wrist. He ran out of the kitchen dragging Daniella with him.
"Why are we running?" Daniella asked as she obediently followed him.
"There's a cobra in the kitchen, it's small which means he has his parents around," Evan said in a hurry.
When they reached the stairs, he halted and pulled her closer.
"Should we call animal control? It's too dangerous-"
His tongue froze as he stared at Daniella. Fear blanched his face as he watched the cobra rolling its body around Daniella's neck.
Before the snake could bite Daniella, Evan grabbed it swiftly and gestured to throw it but, the snake encircled its body around his arm and feeling its bumpy skin has made him shriek.
"ugh! Daniella run!" he shouted at her while fighting so hard to remove the snake in his arm.
Suddenly the snake stopped with his head in the air and body around Evan's arm. With fear rushing in his body, Evan felt as if the snake was smiling at him wickedly.
He felt his world stopping when the snake suddenly bit his arm, he felt the pangs of the animal scraping his skin.
His knowledge about snakes was almost nothing but, he knew very well that a poisonous snake can kill a person.
Out of nowhere, the snake disappeared in his arm, he looked at his side and found Daniella holding the head of the snake.
"hey! Why did you bite my boyfriend? Do you want to be my dinner?" Daniella shouted at the snake and slapped its head.
The snake hissed at her, seemed like Daniella provoked the small animal.
"Do you want another slap?" Daniella snarled and after that, the snake withdrew from gesturing to bite her and swirled around her arm like it was a cat.
Daniella smirked and lowered the snake down to the floor when she turned to Evan, she found him sitting on the stairs observing the bite in his arm.
Inside, Daniella wanted to laugh. She settled next to him and took his arm. Without a word, she sucked the bite mark as if she's sucking a straw.
