Twist of Fate.
The light of new dawn seeped into the room as Anabel rubbed her bleary eyes and woke up stark naked in a gigantic bed, “Where am I? How did I get here? Ouch, my head's spinning right now,” she caressed her head and got dressed when he walked in with a cup of coffee. “Hey, finally you're awake. You had too much to drink last night. So, I took you in,”
"You pathetic liar from the pit of hell. What did you stand to gain in this? You knew I was drunk, yet you took advantage of me. How mean can you get? All men are the same. You take advantage of women at the slightest opportunity. You're a beast and a rogue. I should get you arrested for what you just did" Anabel hurled curses at him and hit the road before he could say a word. There she got in a cab heading home to make amends with her father. Her boyfriend wouldn't want her around anymore, she just had s*x with a total stranger. Presently, home seems the perfect destination. “I just hope Father accepts me back after all the nasty things I said to him. I went totally out of line. I guess I overreacted. Just when I thought I was gonna find solace with Calvin, he messed everything up. Here I am, feeling guilty after a one-night stand.
Gosh! I hate my life already. I ruined my life more," she mumbled, biting her nails like a 9-year-old.
Finally, she reached home. Anxiety washed her face and hijacked her confidence. She felt completely lost and empty. Uncertain of what to do with life anymore, Anabel strolled in and saw her father snoring on the couch. Sophia didn't wish to see him, not at this crucial time. “Dad, Can I come in? I know you're infuriated at me right now, but the truth is...?” Anabel pushed to explain but was cut in by her dad, who was so enthusiastic to see her again.
"Anna, thank goodness you're back. I was so worried about you. For a second, I thought something bad must have happened to you. It's good to have you home. Do you wanna eat something? I can go inside the kitchen and get you something,” Lois Griffin clutched his daughter passionately and didn't berate her for walking out on him the previous night. His attitude astounded her. She was hoping he would whip her ass for transgressing and ignoring his calls, rather, he received her with open arms, just like the biblical prodigal son.
"Don't worry me. I'll be fine. I'm not hungry. I've got something important to discuss with you. It's a confession. The truth is, I..."
"Ssh! You don't owe me any apology. I screwed up. I should be the one pleading for forgiveness.
Not one word from you. All you require is a hot bath. Why not go inside and rest while I prepare your bath with some sweet delicacy? I know you must be starving right now.” Lois deprived her of the chance to explain. She had wanted to reveal everything to him, including the 'one-night stand' with a man she didn't even know.
