Anna.

CHAPTER 19

Arrgghh my head hurts Anna moaned deeply into her bed.

It wouldn't hurt so much if you hadn't drank so much last night a voice replied sternly.

Blinking her eyes she sought to ascertain the source of the voice. she starred back at a set of honey eyes that have hunted her dreams lately.

Anna the counter is empty you didn't make a cup of coffee today and I like to start my day with a cup of coffee.

On hearing coffee she sprang up from the bed and rubbed her tired eyes. I am sorry I would make it right now kinda slept in retracing her steps she turned back to him. Venice I told you some stuff I overheard at the party right?

You said a lot of " stuff" the previous night it depends on the one you are talking about he said understanding what she meant but wanted to mess with her head.

Her colour turned red immediately I I --ss What did I say she managed to sprout out alarm written all over her.

He snorted and exclaimed with mock disbelief. You mean you don't remember anything?

Clearly embarrassed and beating herself up she nodded negatively. Don't you think we should forget about last night after all I was drunk she said rubbing her

neck.

I think maybe you need a memory jog to remind you all that transpired last night.

No Venice I don't need a memo-

Continuing as though she hadn't spoken he went on. You don't recall saying I am the most beautiful man inside out you have ever met?

Anna went scalet under his steady gaze her worst fear confirmed but she still nodded negatively.

Or rather you will recall trying to kiss me and wanting to strip in front of me he asked exaggerating and enjoying her uncomfortable state.

Her hands flew to her face and covered it up wondering how she will ever face him again. she will never drink ever again in her entire life.

Seeing her closing her eyes like a little child afraid of the monsters finally made him stop. Hey you don't have to be embarrassed.

All my actions the previous night was the alcohol speaks through me not the real me.

But alcohol sheds our in habitations and brings out the real feeling to life.

No that's not true I refuse to believe that. Last night was a mistake as simple as that I am not attracted to you and will never be she concluded.

I never said you were he replied his heart hurting him from her words.

Had he expected her to declare love to himself. Silly him she actually looked disgusted with the possibility of attraction between them.

I will make the coffee now she said disrupting his thoughts.

He trailed her to the kitchen I already made one for you here you go he handed her a cup. It will help with the headaches.

She was surprised at his gesture and made to put the lid of the cup on her mouth he stopped her took the cup of coffee and blew away the steam gently and handed it back to her.

Careful it's still a little hot.

Nodding she sipped her creamy content moaning in pleasure. Thank you for the coffee it's so nice.

You are welcome but before he could say more a brisk knock sounded on the door they both starred at each other remembering the previous encounter with Natasha . I will get it stay here he ordered.

She was grateful he told her to stay put she didn't want to see any of his girlfriends today. Who knew how many he had.

Anna strained her neck to make out the person knocking and was pleased to see Marshall on the threshold.

Hey lollipop what's up?

Don't call her that Venice scowled at him.

Hi she replied sweetly am fine.

I can see you are being taken good care of so what have you been up to lately?

Um I work with-

Sshh you talk a lot don't disrupt my breakfast and Marshall are you here to see me or Anna because I could actually leave for the both of you to continue.

I will go back to my room and freashen up she said standing up and leaving.
