Rename the White and Black

CHAPTER XXV - NIGHT

It was already four in the afternoon and the rain heavily. We soaked ourselves in the heavy rain and ran to his car. He pulled his towel and he gave it to me.

“How about you?” I asked while I was drying my hair. He was looking away and I noticed that my dress’ silk was thin. I covered my chest with the towel and my heart pounded rapidly. I could not even look at him.

“It was really a heavy rain. May be, we should go to a hotel,” he said and drove to a nearby hotel.

“I’m sorry, Sir but our rooms were already fully booked,” the attendant said at the information desk.

“Thank you,” he said politely and we walked away. He drove back to the hotel where we went in the morning. He was looked tired to drive because five hotels were already fully booked. I wish that this could be the last.

“Sir, we have one room available.” the information attendant said.

“Okay, give me the key,” he said calmly. “Thank you.”

Room 504. I saw a tag with “reserved” named on it.

He opened the door and I was shocked at the two heart – shaped red pillows on the master’s bedroom. It looked like a honeymoon bed. My brows met and I bit my lower lip with disbelief.

“Have a quick shower before you get cold.” He threw the robe at me and I got my pouch.

I have checked my specialized make up and my mouth went open. I should buy new make up tomorrow. I sighed with disbelief and I calmed myself before covering my whole body with specialized make up.

I put on my robe and went to the bed. He prepared his things and he went to the bathroom. I sent a message to my friend who was making this specialized make up for me. I should get it tomorrow at eight o’clock in the morning.

I was done drying my hair when he came out. The dinner was prepared by the food attendant. He gave him his tip for the service and he turned his look at me.

I felt shy wearing a white robe. I could feel his secret glances on me. Did my presence affect him? I felt hot when he sat on his chair and said, “Let’s eat.”

What happened to him? Was he treating me nice?

I tasted the Italian pasta that made me crave for more. I enjoyed eating the foods while Kai was looking at me seriously.

“Just eat your food.” I smiled. I tried tasting the Italian prosciutto cream potato soup and it made me happy.

He wiped the spilled cream on my mouth before I noticed it. He stared at me that made me feel awkward. I tried to eat my food instead of bothering his looks at me.

I noticed his adam’s apple to move up and down. It made me shiver for a second and my heart beat went crazily pounding in my chest. My knees began to tremble and I was trying to avoid thoughts about him.

“Are you tensed?” he began eating his food.

“No,” I answered while observing his actions. Wait, when did I used to observe him? I avoided my hands from shaking and I smiled. “Why would I be tensed?”

“You know, we’re already here. It seemed like my family wanted us to be here,” he said seriously. I was surprised how many words he uttered explaining about his family.

“It’s nothing for me. Since, all we have to do is to be married.” I forced my lips to smile at him.

“Remember, there’s a tendency that they will demand us for having a baby.” his voice was raised a little tone.

“I know.” I blinked twice and I added, “How can we do that?” I covered my mouth and I felt my face reddened. He smirked playfully and he was looking at me with his furious eyes.

“Does it mean… you wanted to do it…” He sounded like teasing me and he added, “With me?”

“No, you’re wrong. I mean, how can we do that if we don’t like each other?” I asked him with a sarcastic voice. “It is intended for the two lovers.”

“Do you believe in it?” He asked me while looking directly at my eyes. He looked scary as his adam’s apple went up and down again. I gulped.

“Why would you want to know? Don’t tell me that you’re having an interest with me.” I could not look at him while he was still staring at me.

“Why, do you have interest in me too?” he asked curiously. ‘In me too’? Did he say ‘too’?

“Nothing.” I rolled my eyes at him. “Why would you ask me the same question?”

“Nothing.” He smirked and I think that he was making fun of me. “Do you think that I will have interest in someone like you?”

“I already know. I am ugly and I know that you don’t like me,” I said with a sad voice. He laughed a little and he drank his red wine. “What’s funny?”

“Are you degrading yourself?” he said with mockery. I felt insulted and I pretended that I was not affected.

“No, it is the truth. I know that I’m physically ugly but I have my feelings too,” I said with a relief. “People are always looking at the physical looks not on the attitude.”

“You’re right. People will always look down at you when they know that you’re not at the same level of beauty with them.” He played his wine glass with red wine on his right hand and he drank all of it. “But remember, it always depend on how a person carry herself.”

I was shocked at his point. “I agree.”

“Look at this room. When you remove the decorations, it is still a room. The designer added decorations to make it attractive to the customers,” he said seriously. I realized that he almost drank the a bottle of red wine. I did not utter any word.

I sat on a couch after having a dinner with him. What should I do? I felt uncomfortable in this room. I saw him laying on the bed and he fixed the red rectangular pillows. He sat for a second and he was staring at me.

“Aren’t you going to sleep, are you?” he asked. I looked at him with embarrassment and I nodded. “Don’t tell me that you’re uncomfortable sleeping beside me? We both know that we did it.”

I looked at him with a blushing face. His eyes went small and he was looking at my face. I avoided his eye contact and he smirked. The lights were turned off and there was a loud thunder outside. I screamed once and I felt his quick presence on my side.

“You’re drunk.” I whispered.

“I know,” he said while wrapping his arm on my waist.

“Why are you here?” I asked while I tried removing his arm.

“I know that you’re scared with thunder in a dark place,” he answered.

“Are you worried about me?” I dared to ask him but he refused to answer.

“Let’s sleep.” He guided me to the bed and I covered myself with the quilt.

I turned my back at him and I wonder why was he doing this. Sometimes, I could not understand what he was thinking or doing. I could not tell if his acts were real or not.

“Can I ask you a question?” I asked while turning my head to him.

“Yes.” He answered without hesitation. He seemed to be kind when he was drunk and I was afraid he would do something to me.

“Why are you letting me sleep beside you?” I began. He did not answer my question and I checked his face. He was already asleep. Did he intend to do it?

“Good night.” I closed my eyes and I tried to sleep but I could not.

I moved a lot on my place and the good thing was I did not wake him up. I stared at his face for a moment and he wrapped his arm on my back. My face was an inch close to him and my heart kept on pounding. The heat of my body was increased at his warmth. I felt his slow breathing and its calm presence.

I pushed him slightly and I was alarmed when he moved his face closer to me. He looked like dreaming when he said, “Kiss me.”

I put my finger on his lips. “Please, don’t kiss me.”

I was afraid to what was coming next.

He held my hand and he kissed me with his soft lips. I pursed my lips, avoiding him to invade myself. He licked the left side of my lips and he cupped my face.

I pushed him but he was too strong and I felt my knees to be weak. He pinched my left cheek that made my mouth open. He was free to taste my lips and I could not follow his lead.

This was our fourth kiss but I was not learning how to kiss. I felt embarrassed that made me stop from breathing.

“Breathe.” He whispered between his kisses and I followed him. I started breathing but not responding to him.

He was gently kissing me and I tried to follow his lead. He put my hands on his neck and he began to be on top of me. His kisses went to my neck that was why I lifted up my chest. My whole system came back to my senses and I stopped him.

“Are you afraid?” He whispered while his left hand was untying my robe. My chest was rising up and down.

I began to panic when he kissed me again. At this time, he entered his tongue teasing mine. I was trying to stop him but I was starting to like it. No! This is not good.

I pushed him but he grabbed my wrists above my head. What was he trying to do?

“Please, don’t,” I said between his kisses and he fell on top of me. I felt relieved when I know that he was out of energy.

I should not let him drink wine or liquors before I get into trouble. I was frightened if I get pregnant by him. I think he did not love me at all. Why would I let him own me? I would have pity on myself if we ever have a baby and we were not married yet. I should take my priority first, to make Lolo Emman happy.
