Chapter 1
NATASHA
Even though my eyes were closed, I was awake. I felt myself in a very comfortable bed, my body relaxing into it. The pillow was fluffy and soft and I certainly had a good sleep. But that's when it struck me, my bed wasn't this comfy! Wait!
And this was exactly when my eyes fluttered open. The walls weren't of my room, neither was the blanket I was wrapped up in. None of these things were mine. I tried lifting my head but I had a throbbing headache. I lifted my blanket and I realized that I was n***d. God! What happened last night?
I turned my head to the other side and let me tell you, the view was amazing. Not just any view, I could see the whole city of New York through the glass window, and that's not the end. There stood in all his glory, a guy I didn't know. His muscular back was facing me and although I hadn't seen his face yet, I was already admiring his back rather shamelessly. He only had his boxers on.
He was holding a cup, of coffee maybe. I tried getting up, but I fell back, my head hitting the pillow hard, even though it was fluffy, the movement caused me to wince.
"There is a bottle of Aspirin and a glass of water on the table beside, if you want it." The man said, not turning to face me. And his voice was deep, not too deep, but it was nice. I sat up successfully this time and looked at the bed side table to find the tablet and a jug of water sitting there as he said. I took the aspirin packet and closely examined it, making sure it was what it was before dropping it in my mouth and filling the glass with water. I closed my eyes and let my head lean against the headboard to try and ease my headache; I did fully realise that 'this' was a one-night stand and right now, you might think that this didn't bother me or that I don't care but inside to be honest, I was freaking out. It wasn't my first time or something. I lost my virginity years back. But now, I didn't expect this. I felt awkward, I mean, in most of the stories, the girl wakes up in a normal bedroom which is not hers and finds the guy already gone, or maybe showering. Whatever, he doesn't see her awake, because she goes away before that. But now that I'm living this experience, reality is different and it sucks. He is here and so am I and with what I can gather, I am in some luxurious hotel.
The man turned around bringing me out of my thoughts, and damn was he hot. My first one-night was hot. As I kept looking at him, I took in his features he had dark brown hair, the dark that looked black but if you look close enough, you realise it's actually brown and dark brown eyes. He looked at me and I stared back, until I realised this was awkward and I had no clue what to do to make this any better. And that was when ladies and gentlemen, an idea suddenly popped in my mind, it probably was the weirdest but I believe it could probably work. We'll never know until we try now, right?
So that was exactly what I did, 'try out the plan' I raised my head to my head, looked down, spun my head lightly and moved my body back and forth and poof! I fell back on the bed. I could hear his footsteps come near me. He climbed on the bed and held me in his arms, he removed the hair from my face and slightly touched my cheeks with his hand, and shook me a little. I had to try hard to keep stiff, my eyes refused to stay shut naturally and my body had the strongest urge to move at the wrong moment.
"Hey? Wake up!" I could feel the slight panic in his voice.
"You were fine a minute ago...uh, I don't understand......" He whispered something in the end that I couldn't catch but he let go of me, and got off bed. He didn't understand what I was trying to do, right? I opened my eyes slightly and saw him walking away towards another door, which I assumed was the bathroom. He opened the door and went in. After a minute or so, I could hear the water hit the ground and bingo! He was showering. My plan worked!
I quickly got off the bed with soft movements and looked around for my clothes. I found my black dress, which I had worn yesterday and all my other belongings on the floor by the foot of the bed. I put them on as fast as I could and giving a quick check to my purse to make sure I hadn't lost anything. I slipped on my heels and walked towards out of the bedroom and found myself in what looked like a living room, this was definitely a penthouse!
Spotting a larger door on the opposite side, I guessed it would likely be the way to exit and I was right, closing the door behind me, I sighed out a breath of relief. I was out and now it was finally time to go home!
