A gentle tap on my shoulder woke me up accompanied with a trail of kisses from my neck down to my collarbone, on opening my eyes I saw Brian staring into my face, his lips curved upwards in a smile revealing the cutest and most mesmerizing dimples I had ever seen.
"You're still wearing my necklace, this is nice to see, please don't ever take it off" he said lifting it up with a finger.
"I'm..jus.t..gon..na..le..ave"
I wanted to get out of the bed but stopped midway, wide-eyed on realizing I was naked underneath the sheets. He reached for me, wrapping his arms around me, resting his head on my back.
"You can take a bath here first, I'll ask the maids to get you new clothes, just wait a bit"
"No, I can't"
Breaking myself out of his grip, I drew the sheets, wrapping it around my body, frantically picking my clothes from different locations in his bedroom.
"Hey, if you could just calm down and---"
"Don't say anything, please just don't say anything" I said not meeting his gaze.
He sighed watching me pick all my clothes, speedily putting them on before dashing out of his room. Running downstairs towards my room I bumped into Amy who wore her usual cleaning clothes with a broom in hand, already blushing keeping her gaze downwards.
"Si---"
Impatiently brushing past her, I bolted into my room, immediately locking the door behind me, burying my face in my palms, letting out a long sigh.
To say I felt guilty was an understatement, my attempt to clean up the messy situation only made it a lot messier to the point that it can't ever be completely clean again.
Walking into my bathroom where I stood still under the cold shower, I could clearly see my shameful reflection in the mirror, reddish love bites and teeth marks left all over my once innocent body.
Coming out in a bathrobe, I sat on my bed, the room totally dark, hanging my head in the air looking downcast, overwhelmed by the gravity of the irreversibly costly mistake I had just made.
Deep in thoughts I heard a round of Alison's laughter along with my mom's voice a bit far away, their voices and sounds of footsteps, growing closer every second.
My heart began racing uncontrollably, quickly raising up the sheets I got under, hugging my pillow tightly, shutting my eyes in an attempt to feign sleep.
Seconds later I heard them close to my door, whispering to each other.
"Remember that recipe I taught you the day before you came here, have you prepared it for him yet?" my mum said
She gasped "No, I totally forgot about it"
"You foolish girl don't you know the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? why don't you make it specially for him tomorrow morning, I'm sure he would love it"
"Okay mum, I'll be sure to do that"
"Don't bother knocking I'm sure he's asleep we don't want to bother your brother"
"I know but I just want to ensure he's fine, the way he left the party was a bit odd, he didn't tell me or anyone he was leaving"
"I'm sure he's fine, maybe he just grew tired and decided to leave"
"I hope he's not getting sick of staying here with me" she said, my mind already picturing her sadly pouting.
"What? why would you say that sweetie?"
"He doesn't like Brian that much and I'm not always around to keep him company, naturally he's gonna get sick of this place"
"I doubt that, your brother can never get sick of being with you, you know that more than anyone, most times I wonder if he's gonna get married to you at this rate"
"Any woman would be very lucky to have him, if he wasn't my brother I would have snatched him a long time ago"
My mum chuckled "Hey! focus on your husband, what nonsense are you saying"
I could hear her giggle as their footsteps slowly descended away from my door. Hearing their conversation brought a sad smile to my face, my conscience pricking badly. Staring at the ceiling like I normally do when I can't fall asleep, my thoughts helplessly centred around Brian, I didn't know when I eventually fell asleep.
----
Opening my eyes I was shocked to find myself on Brian's bed, looking to my side he flashed me a smile instantly capturing my lips with his in a passionate kiss, pulling away from him with my hands still on his shoulders, I stared into his eyes confused and alarmed at the same time.
"How did I get here? what the hell do you think you're doing? I don't want to have anything to do with you"
"You sure do spew a lot of trash you obviously don't mean, then what are your hands still doing on my body? happily inviting me to make love to you"
"Stop deluding yourself, I never said---"
Forcing a kiss on me, he pressed me to the bed
burying his head in my neck, nibbling on my skin.
"Brian....s..top"
my words came out as weak as my breaths were now heavy, feeling company hypnotized under him.
"I told you not to tell me to stop because its never gonna happen"
His lips were about to crush back to mine when I fell off my bed, waking up on the cold floor of my bedroom.
"Was it all a dream?" I said frantically looking around.
Standing to my feet i heaved a sigh in self disappointment, glancing towards the wall clock with read 5:05.a.m. Walking into my bathroom where I quickly had my bath I walked out with a towel strapped around my waist about to start dressing up when soft knocks landed on my door.
"Who is it?"
"A ghost from your past"
"What?"
"Open up you i***t!"
No doubt it was Brian's voice which sent my heart racing again, I am was definitely not ready to meet him, I don't think I'll ever be.
"Open up now! don't keep me waiting! arg!!! my leg aches like crazy!"
"Your leg?"
Opening the door at once, our eyes locked for a brief moment, I quickly looked away swallowing hard on my saliva.
"So..uh..what exactly do you want?"
"I'll talk inside"
"Why? can't you just say it here, I really don't---"
Pushing past me he limped into the room, sitting on my bed.
"what on earth happened to your leg?"
He sneered "Aren't you the one who tried to decapitate my leg with the syringe needle!"
"Me? well....I don't really have any medical experience so....."
"You almost killed me, did you have to stab me with it?"
"Hey! is this what I get for saving your life!"
"Didn't I already thank you for saving my life last night"
At the mention of last might my mouth instantly became dry, at loss of words heat spread around my cheeks, lowering my gaze.
"You talking about the spoken apology right?"
"Of course, what else would I possibly be talking about? are you perhaps..... thinking it might be something else?"
"N..o!"
He took a step closer to me "Why are you so flustered anyway?"
"Its nothing"
He slowly started taking steps towards me while I took some steps backwards, soon having my back against the wall, my heart feeling like it was gonna burst out of my chest as he stood inches away from me, delicately cupping my chin.
"What..a.re..you..doing?"
"I don't want you to feel this awkward around me, if you want me to forget about what happened last night then I'll fulfill your wishes, just don't try to avoid me"
"When....did I ever avoid you?"
"Are you kidding right now? you always avoid me when something happens between us, you're the type who always avoids their problems instead of facing them head on"
"I think you're that type also"
"What?"
"I don't know what happened to you, that makes you have a phobia for cars, but I think you should try finding a solution to it, by facing it head on"
He smiled nodding his head in affirmation "I understand, I'll try to do just that"
I tried moving away but he held me in place with his other hand, peering deeply into my eyes.
"By the way, you sure are one fearless being"
"Me? how?"
He took his gaze downwards to my towel, seductively running his eyes up my body, my breath ceased as I stared into his eyes.
"How could you fearlessly invite me into your room wearing nothing but a measly towel? I guess I have no choice but to teach you a little lesson"
He daringly reached for my towel about to yank it off when a knock landed on the door accompanied by my sister's voice.
"Oppa! are you awake?"
