Penalty of the Heart

CHAP 13

CHAPTER 13: Rollercoaster Morning

Light rays seeped from the window, slowly lighting the room. Savannah woke up from the brightness. Scanning the room, no one except her was present.

"Right! Where did Mia go? It is already morning," she sleepily thought, unaware of her present circumstances.

She could not remember what happened last night; her memories were vague. All she remembered was that she'd been searching for Mia.

She stood up to pick up the dress she wore yesterday but pain instantly surged in her body.

"What happened to me? It's like I've been beaten into a pulp!", she sat down on the bed easing her pain.

Still lightheaded. She leaned on the headboard. Her eyes roamed around again in the room and observed a messy bed, red circle marks could be seen underneath her robe, a bloodstain was visible on the sheet and clothes were scattered on the floor.

She tried to search her brain for an answer but it is empty. While in deep thought, someone came out of the bathroom.

"Oh! You're awake", Lorenzo said surprising Savannah from her thoughts. He is half-naked wearing only a towel wrapped around his hips, looking fresh from the bath as water dripped from his hair.

"W-Who are you?", she asked in defensive mode.

Lorenzo was stupefied by her question. "Are you seriously asking my name right now?", he questioned.

"S-sorry!, I just don't seem to remember anything that happened last night or why I am here in this room naked!"

Lorenzo released a breath. "This girl is really hard to comprehend."

"I guess because you drank a lot of alcohol last night but I am Lorenzo, we had s*x last night. And today you are officially mine!", he straightforwardly declared in a husky voice. "I never accepted any women before but today, I announce that you are my very first girlfriend! Your opinion doesn't matter so don't say anything."

His words left Savannah flabbergasted. Her jaw opened, her face is obviously stating 'What the hell is he talking about?'. She was completely speechless.

Leaving her in a state of shock, Lorenzo called Mario for a change of clothing and instructed him to buy a dress that is not too sexy, revealing or anything that relates to indecency.

Mario could not believe what he just heard. He knew that Lorenzo never cared about the women he bedded, even the former assistant managers talked about how he gave them a cold shoulder but this is his first time that Lorenzo did something for a woman. He is getting more curious about her identity and what kind of woman she is, to make the great playboy fall to earth.

An hour has passed...

The door opened revealing an exhausted Mario carrying a lot of shopping bags. He saw Lorenzo cuddling a flustered girl covered by the blanket in his arms as he keeps on kissing her on the neck. The atmosphere turned awkward when the girl saw him standing there watching them.

"I should've knocked first before entering!", he awkwardly turned around and left the room.

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

Mario saw Lorenzo got out of the room. He ran towards him and grabbed his neck in his arms giving proud pats as he messes his hair.

"Finally!...", he happily said letting him go. "Our cold playboy has finally found a girl for himself!", he said shedding tears.

"Shut up! Who are you calling 'cold playboy'?", he irritatingly said. "Though you're right that she's my girl", he slightly blushed.

"What's this? What's is this thing I'm seeing?", he teasingly said. "So you're admitting it! Gosh! I'm so proud of you!"

Their moment got distracted when Savannah came out looking beautiful, she is wearing a simple long white dress that reaches half of her calf with flowy trimmings on her chest and a comfortable loose half sleeve. She wears no jewelry but the two were awestruck. Savannah felt uncomfortable, they're not saying anything but their eyes are too focused on her.

Lorenzo elbowed Mario for his eyes are feasting on her too much. He gave him a murderous look. She is stunning no matter what she wears but Lorenzo doesn't like anyone staring at her even if they are his friends.

"May I ask where are the Miss is staying? We'll give you a ride?", Mario asked her escaping Lorenzo's glare.

"No, there's no need for you to do that. It's too troublesome."

"She's right! There's no need for you to do that!", Lorenzo innerly rejoiced. "Mario give me the car key, I'll be the one to send her", he grins at him.

Mario threw it to him.

"Let's go!"

"But--", before she could say something, Lorenzo pulled her away.

"That kid! Seriously!", he was annoyed by Lorenzo's attitude. "But he is so lucky, she is the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I'm so jealous! But have I met her before? She looks familiar."

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

Loreno drove her to the hotel where she and Mia checked in, they arrived shortly. Before she could get out of the car, Lorenzo yanked her for a deep long kiss. He let go of her after he was completely satisfied.

"Oh right! Give me your number so that I could contact you later on."

"Number?...", she paused for a long time. "Sorry I don't have one!", she gave a disappointed look.

"Then...", he handed her a card. "It's my number, remember to call me. I'll always be checking on you."

They bid their goodbyes and she entered the hotel. She later found out that Mia went back to the hotel at three o'clock in the morning. She lied down on her bed, her mind is still in shock for the events that happened. She couldn't believe that she had s*x with an astonishing handsome guy which she has no memories of and he later claimed her as his girlfriend without her agreeing on the relationship. Her morning is just unbelievable, a total morning crash.
