Ch.06

"Did you get a birthday invitation from Christian?" Zara was very happy to receive an invitation to Christian's birthday party. Because that meant she would go with Luke. "Got it." "Do you want to go?" "I'm lazy." "Come on. Just this once. I've been friends with you for a long time, and you've never been seen going to a birthday party." "So lazy." "I'll treat you to coffee." "Agreed." "Then it's your turn for coffee, do you want to?" Karina just laughed. They continued their search, looking for a gift for Christian.

"You still haven't made up with him?" "How could I make up? He hasn't even apologized." "Be careful, you might fall in love with him. Love and hate are just thin lines apart." "I won't fall for him." Zara just smiled at Karina's response. "By the way, where is the event?" Karina was confused because when she received the invitation, she didn’t know where the party was held. "Stary Club." "Alright." "Don’t drink too much. You can’t handle alcohol." "If I don’t drink, what am I even going to do there?"" Anything. Just don't drink alcohol." "You're so weird. What bar has drinks other than alcohol?" "The point is, you cannot drink!" "Alright, Zara." Zara really cared about her. Being together for almost six years made her know everything Karina could and couldn't do.

At the bar, Karina sat on the sofa next to the table. She was sitting alone. Zara was somewhere with Luke. She just prayed that Zara and Luke wouldn't do anything reckless. Suddenly, the bartender handed her a glass of drink. She was about to refuse, but the bartender walked away. Without a hint of suspicion, Karina gulped down the drink in one go. Zara was right. Karina had a low tolerance for alcohol. Proof was, after just one glass, she was already feeling drunk.

When she closed her eyes, a man she didn't know tried to take her out. Karina couldn't struggle because her body was weak, and her head was spinning. Before the man could take her away, he fell after getting hit by Christian. "Don't touch her!" "Who are you?!" The man tried to hit back, but fell again after getting punched by Christian. After that, he immediately took Karina to his apartment.

On the way home, Karina's leaning on Christian's shoulder made him a little aroused. Besides, he didn’t want to lose control and do anything while Karina was drunk. Karina was carried by Christian as he took her into his apartment. Her breath brushing against his neck made him shiver and hold his breath. Once inside the apartment bedroom, he laid Karina down in the guest room. As he was about to leave, Karina grabbed his hand. "Please help me." "Just sleep here, I’ll be in the next room." "I—it hurts," she wondered. What was making Karina appear to be in pain? He accidentally noticed Karina’s face. She seemed aroused because the drink she had was laced with an aphrodisiac by that damn man.

Still caught up in his thoughts, he was suddenly pulled by Karina and kissed roughly. Ah, he really couldn't resist. But he didn't want to do anything foolish by taking advantage of the situation. "Karina, you're drunk." "I—I can't hold back anymore." Christian could no longer control himself. Seeing Karina aroused him too. He immediately pushed her down so that Karina was under his control. "Listen, Karina. You’re the one forcing me to make you mine. I don’t like letting go of what’s already mine. And once you’re mine, no one can touch you. Understand?" Christian spoke in a low tone, making Karina even more aroused. Who knows what was going through Karina’s body that made her dare to seduce a Christian. "Of course." "Don’t ask me to stop." After that, they both tried to satisfy their desires.

In the morning, Karina woke up from her sleep. She hadn’t realized what had happened. Karina sat up and blinked her eyes. After a moment of silence, suddenly she felt cold. She looked at her body and saw she was naked. Her eyes widened as she looked around the room. No, this wasn’t her room. Clothes were scattered on the floor, and Karina wasn’t foolish enough not to know she had done something she shouldn’t have. She didn’t dare look to the side; she wasn’t ready to find out with whom she had done it.

“Already awake?” that hoarse voice said. Karina recognized it. She shook her head, refusing. She didn’t want to do that with someone she hated. Slowly, she turned her head to the side. Her heart was pounding. She saw a Christian who was also naked. She just wanted to cry. She had sworn to herself that she wouldn’t fall for Christian, but in reality, she was the one who had pulled him along with her.

"What have we done? You didn't do anything, right?" "You think about the clothes scattered on the floor, us being naked, one blanket for both of us. You think about what we did?" Christian tried to get closer to her, but Karina moved away first. She was confused; she didn't realize that she was at Christian's apartment. "Seriously, Christ. What did you do to me?" Christian just gave a crooked smile, ignoring Karina's question. Karina wrapped herself up in the blanket. She walked to the bathroom, albeit with unsteady steps. In the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. She saw many marks from their make-out sessions. "CHRISTIAN! DAMN YOU!" Christian just laughed inside the room.

Karina really wanted to get to the campus cafeteria quickly. She walked, and everyone stared at her because she was wearing a turtleneck shirt in this summer heat. "Are you crazy!" Zara said, feeling annoyed seeing Karina wearing a turtleneck in the middle of the day in summer. "Yeah, I’m crazy!" Karina buried her face in her hands on the table, feeling desperate. "What’s wrong with you?" Karina showed her neck, covered in Hickeys, to Zara, which shocked her. "Still visible?" Zara nodded. She couldn’t say a word. "Damn. I have already tried to erase them," Karina wanted to cry just from embarrassment. "What were you doing?" "You’re not dumb, Zara." "Making out with whom?" "I just want to cry when I think about the person."

Ah, it seemed Zara knew who Karina was talking about. Karina didn’t have many friends, so she knew everyone close to her. "Prince, right?" Karina didn’t answer. Zara was sure she had been making out with Christian, judging by the response of her best friend. "Are you sure it's just s*x?" "I don't know." Karina wondered whether this was really just s*x or if there would be something.

More after this. Just imagining it made her shiver.

Jenna was taking a walk in the campus park. She just wanted to clear her mind from everyone who was bothering her. Unintentionally, her foot hit a rock. She was ready for her body to hit the ground. "Wait? Why didn’t I fall?" she asked herself. She was shocked when she saw Christian holding her up. Her eyes met Christian’s eyes. "Next time, watch where you’re going," he said. After that, he left Jenna, whose heart was racing. This time, Jenna was sure; before, she wasn’t. But this time, she was certain and realized that she liked Christian. To hell with Mark. She didn’t even date him. He was just being sweet to get Karina to notice what Mark was responsible for and make Karina jealous. "I like you, Christian," Jenna whispered softly, because only she could hear her voice.

Jenna walked cheerfully in the campus cafeteria alone until her eyes found her younger sibling with the person she liked. "That's Karina, right?" she squinted to see more clearly. "Why is she with Christian?"

On the other side. "Hey, darling," Karina cursed herself. Why did she have to pass through here when she had been avoiding Christian all this time? "Move!" Christian blocked Karina's way. Karina went left, he went left too. Karina went right, he did the same. "Move, Christ!" "You're avoiding me, huh?" "No, move!" Christian cornered her against the wall. Luckily, the cafeteria was very empty right now, so no one would see them, except Jenna, of course. "Listen. I have already told you I don't like my stuff being touched by others, and since last night you are mine," Christian said in an intimidating tone. Karina felt a little scared; Christian never played around with his words. "So what do you want? Don't bother me! I was just drunk yesterday!" "Sure? You want more, right?" "Don't make me angry, Christ." "Alright. You'll be my assistant for a week and live in my apartment too." "YOU'RE CRAZY!" "I don't accept rejection. Alright, starting tomorrow until next week. Or I'll tell all the students that you were the one who pulled me yesterday." Christian kissed Karina on the lips and shamelessly walked away, leaving her frozen. "DAMN CHRIST!"

Karina shouted, ignoring the students walking toward the canteen who were watching her, including Jenna, who saw Christian kiss her. Her hand clenched into a fist, her expression showing her dislike for Karina. She decided to approach her. "Karina." "What?" "What kind of relationship do you have with Christian?" "None, okay. Move!" Karina pushed her slightly, causing Jenna to stagger a bit backward. Luckily, she didn’t fall. If she had fallen, it would have surely created a new drama.
