Joshua Miller left the bar and head out to his car. Not wasting any time he sends the image to Maria but with full explanation before she jumps to conclusion. Meanwhile Maria woke up to use the bathroom when she heard her phone beeps, and noticed that Joshua Miller had message her. She saw an image of Joshua Elliot and a woman in his arm with a caption 'not what you think, tiger" the man actually seem annoyed in the photo. Maria laughs out loud 'you really are something Boxer' she thought silently and call him right away.
"Hi Boxer, got your message. Good one. Thanks!" She said to him
"Oh sorry tiger, I woke you up. Go back to sleep" He said apologetically
"No, I was about to use the bathroom anyways" She replied assuring him that she wasn't disturb at all.
But Maria didn't go back to sleep first instead she send the image to Joshua Elliot before crawling back to bed. Joshua got excited when he saw a notification that Maria message him and quickly unlocks his phone to read but instead an image loaded with a caption "No.5" and a face rolling eyes emoji . He dash out of the bar without saying anything to his friends, even if he's a bit tipsy he drives to her place. His friends who follows him outside, just watch him drives off.
"I think he's in love" Thereon said chuckling
"But in denial" Matt replied back making them all laughs.
The guys just went back inside the bar and continue to enjoy the rest of the night.
Meanwhile, the slightly drunk Joshua reach Maria's place and buzzing the doorbell nonstop.
Huh! Who could that be ringing at this ungodly hour Maria thought to herself without getting up from the bed. After 2 minutes as the doorbell continues she had no choice but to drag herself out of the bed to check who was outside her flat only to find out that Joshua Elliot was outside waiting. Confused she opens the door only to catch him in her arms.
"Mr. Elliot, you are drunk. What are you doing here?" She asked him struggling to keep her balance
"Are you upset at me? It's not what you think. I don't know that girl" He said looking at her with a concern eyes.
Oh my God! He's crazy; he drives here even if he was a bit drunk just to explain. What have I done, what if something happened to him along the way? She said to herself. Ignoring his question she took his arm and put it on her shoulder and slide her arms in his waist to guide him in her bed. I guess, I have to continue my sleep in the guest room she thought to herself. She removes his shoes and socks and went to the kitchen to get a bowl and fill it with cold water and some ice cubes and took a clean face towel. She put the cold face towel in his face for 2 minutes before she wipes his face. He was murmuring "Don't be upset, I don't know her, I swear!" before turning on his right side. She can see clearly his face with the lights coming from the bedside lamp. As much as she would like to touch his attractive face she didn't instead was contented staring at him for a while. What she heard from him puts a smile on her face ...what a revelation of his true feelings to her. He smells like a walking cigarette as he came from a bar with full of smokers, so she went to get new shirt from the package that was in the guest room and went back to her room. She tries wake him up so he could change into new clothes but got no reaction. Well, then I guess I have to change you by myself she said to herself. She put his arms up and took off his shirt and put on the new one over his head and then pulls it down to cover the rest of his body. When she was about to cover him with the quilt, he starts unbuckling his belt on his own. Maria's eyes widened with nervousness, imaginations run wild! He removes his trousers leaving his boxers on. Maria sighs in relief! She took his used clothes and put in the washing when she return back to dim the light beside the bed, he pulled her to lay beside him in the bed.
"Sleep" he said and wrapping her in a tight hug
"I'm going to... but in the guest room" She replied but was just hush by him
Maria tries to get off from his hug but soon her strength left her and falls asleep. They both slept like log. From time to time Maria shifts her position and now she's facing him, her head on his right arm as her pillow hands securing the back of her head while the left arm is resting on her waist. The night seems a little bit longer and even the moon seems to enjoy sticking around for a while witnessing the two bodies who obviously has love for one another.
