THAT NIGHT
"Oh, my God"
She shrieked as she immediately sat up on the bed, her eyes widened in shock and surprise.
She stared up at the white ceiling which was different to the ceiling in her room, or should she say in her previous room. Her landlord had evicted her after failing to pay up her house rent.
It wasn't her fault though,it wasn't her fault that she never lasted up to three weeks in all her jobs. The last job she had was that of a waitress, and she had ended up breaking 55 plates and paying through her nose.
Now she was homeless and without a job. The worst part of it all, something she never imagined herself of doing was happening to her right now.
She groaned inwardly as she slapped her temple,it happened not the way she wanted her night to go,blaming it on her landlord, her stupid boss, the restaurant and also on the tequila.
Because who gets drunk on their birthday and ends up with a total stranger,except Lupita Bianchi.
Now she could win a Grammy for her stupidity. She pulled the white blanket up a little and stared down at her naked self. She looked at the left hand side of the bed and found that it wasn't rumpled. It was well laid,she blinked.
Was this all a dream ? Because the other side of the bed was supposed to be rumbled, She tugged at her disheveled jet black straight hair which wasn't straight any longer but was sticking out at odd ends.
She finger combed it while waiting for the i***t that laid her, She waited for the shuffling of feet in the bathroom, the running of the tap, the twisting of the faucet, or even perhaps the knob twisting.
And him showing up saying. "Hello,sleeping beauty is awake.This was probably a hotel,she guessed.
Yes,dummy,a voice said in her head.
What were you thinking ?
Bring you to his house and prepare a sauna bath for you after getting laid.Stupidly,she was waiting for him to come in,never realizing that the minutes were slowly rolling by.
It dawned on her that soon room service would come knocking, she swung her legs over the bed.Grabbing a handful of the heavy sheet ,she wrapped herself round and round like a mummy and limped to the bathroom.
The pain in between her legs hurt with every step.
She got into the sparkling bathroom and sighed.
Yeah, great the i***t wasn't there either. She left the tap running for a few minutes watching her reddened face in the mirror before her. She scooped a handful of water and splashed it on her face then her mind reeled to last night.
*****Flash back."Tequila pleaseeee." She gulped and slammed the wine glass on the table that it shook almost breaking. She gulped once more and gave a stupid laugh looking around. The bar was packed full with a lot of people and the smell of cigarette, alcohol and sweat rented the air.
It was damn stuffy in there and far at the front of the bar were poles with a lot of girls dancing their lives off. She wished she had the freedom those girls had.To get up and dance your sorrow away. At intervals, laughter rose and dropped and chattering in the bar was ceaseless, almost deafening accompanied by the blaring music.
The disco light overhead with its red, blue and green light made her feel so dizzy. "Look who we have here."A tall lanky man who smelled of alcohol approached and smiled at her, two of his front teeth were missing and beside her the other rest of his party laughed like a mannequin.
"Let me give you a little touching,”He laughed."You gonna love it” Then he made to touched her inappropriately and she slapped his hands off. He reeled back in shock and yelped."Quite the fiesty one huh?He said not backing down then reached for her arm. She stood up on wobbly feet and pushed his hand away. "Come to daddy”..
He couldn't complete the sentence as she sliced a slap through his cheek. She pushed past him, took a glass of alcohol from someone's table and gulped it all down.She was already drunk and was feeling dizzy.
From the deepest pit in her stomach a bile fought to come out, She walked as if tossed by a hurricane. She didn't see him come and the next thing she knew she was hugging a huge mass of flesh . She raised her head from his broad shoulders and smiled sheepishly at him. She threw her head back and spilled yellow nonsense on his suit.She heard him cursed under his breath ,pulled her by her hair,her eyes ,rolled back into her head and she collapsed.
Only to wake up a few seconds later in a king size bed,still drunk."You huh." She laughed as he came out of the bathroom, shirtless,his biceps and charming looks left her gasping.
"You shouldn't try that again." He said as he came to the bed."I won't if you say you like me”. She found herself saying all of a sudden,then she held his hand as he was about to turn away."Don't go."
She said in a small voice and before he could think she had flung herself in him and they both collapsed on the bed.His face was inches from hers and her hands were resting in his cheek, without thinking she clasped her lips with his.
He didn't hesitate to return the kiss back ferociously.
***Flash back ends,She quickly wiped her face with a face towel and wobbled back to the room. Her head was pounding with hangover ,bending down with so much effort she grabbed her clothes tossed on the floor to put on.
When her phone made a beeping sound. She pulled it from her bag hesitantly,unlocked it then her eyes widened and she almost passed out. Written in clear letters was mail. It reads;
