Arcie Perez, who was heartbroken, was dragged by her bestfriend, Shyna, to their company outing to help her unwind. During their 'inuman' session, she got drunk and found herself the next morning lying in the arms of a man named Maxuell. She seemed...
Arci gathered enough sheet to cover her nakedness. Still in the state of shock, the man lying next to her, moved. His arms which looked strong and firm slightly touched her side. Then a protruding chest she never imagined to see in any of her mornings was now revealed in front her very eyes! Tan, smooth, and soft like a baby skin made her almost drool. Arci shook her head quicky, a vein almost snap!
No! I have to leave!
She, then, scanned the room with her eyes, trying to spot her garments. Just like in those movies, he could have just thrown it anywhere in the room.
Arci froze when she saw her dress lying on the carpet right before the door. Her face flushed with embarrassment. She hurriedly, yet, quietly walked in tip toe towards it.
W-Where's my undies?!
The bed creaked when the man sleeping on it moved making her panic and dashed outside the room absolutely forgetting about the whereabouts of her undies.
Finally entered the room, she slammed the door closed. Arci gasped for air like she was drowning, her body collapse on the floor.
Her lower part ached and her body felt heavy. Fighting her will to fix herself and just lay there, she stood up lazily and finally walked to the bathroom.
After an hour of cleansing herself, she went to the kitchen and saw Shyna making breakfast. She must have overslept too.
"Good morning beshy! Here's your sunny side up, ham, hotdog, and fried rice!" She placed the plate on the table. "Hungover? Would you like to have a coffee or tea?" She asked after seeing her friend in a gloomy state.
Arci sat on the stool. "Coffee please." She dryly said then massaged her temple. She kept on sighing.
Even after resting for an hour, her body hasn't recover yet. It felt like there's something in between her thighs! Her face flushed in embarrassment because of such naughty thoughts. She banged her forehead on the table producing a loud bam!
"What the?! Arci?! Please don't do that!" Shyna nagged at her like a nanny while making her coffee. "Geez. Eat up and sobber up!" She place a cup of well-prepared coffee next to her plate.
Arci just wanted to cry. She can't tell her bestfriend that she had a one night stand with one of her officemates.
"T-Thanks," Arci swallowed her cries, sat properly, and ate.
Almost finished, Shyna told her that they decided to visit an island and go swimming after. She invited Arci, but refused and acted like her head is about to burst due to pain.
Shyna sighed in regret. "I should've told them that you have low alcohol tolerance. I'm sorry," she sincerely apologized.
Arci waved her hand, and shook her head. "It's alright. It's your company outing, you must enjoy!" She forced a smile.
Island hopping is good, but swimming is a bad idea. When she took a shower, her body have lots of (goddamn) hickeys that she won't be able to conceal!
"I..I'll just stay and rest."
"I'll bring you souvenirs later," Shyna smiled genuinely. Like lights from heaven shines before her.
"A-Alright." She said averting her eyes to dodge too much heavenly light.
After their preparations, Shyna and others departed for the trip. Arci had some words of advice from her and that she should not wander around alone.
Staring blankly at the sea where its beautiful view can be seen from the mansion, Arci started to notice the white sand, the people walking, swimming, playing games, taking photos, and doing lots of activities.
If only my body was in good condition...
Deep in her thoughts, she realized something she should have noticed earlier.
"There's no tanned-skin guy among them," her brows creased as she closed her eyes and tries to remember the people who just left with Shyna.
T-There's no...
Her body shudder. She turned to look at the door behind her. If there really was no tanned-skin guy who joined Shyna and the rest, then he could've still be inside!
With that thought, she dashed inside and run upstairs to return to her room. She doesn't want to meet that guy alone!
Unfortunately, right where the hallway ends stand a tall guy stretching his left arm while facing the window. He seemed to just woke up. His body was like a silhouette of a beautiful statue as the light from outside the window create a yellowish beam around his body.
Even with such description, Arci's face turned pale as a paper when the guy whom she intended to avoid turned his gaze at her.
"G-GYAAAAA!!!!"
Her scream almost echoed outside the mansion. The guy immediately cover his ears with both hands. Not knowing what was going on, he tried to approach the girl.
"H-Hey! What the hell is wrong with you?! Stop it!" He yelled back.
Arci's heart seemed to stop when the guy's hand touched her shoulder. With so much stress and shock, she fainted.

Arci's eyes flinch with the aroma of strong coffee. She slightly opened her mouth to breathe, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Here."
A deep-cold voice broke the silence in the place.
There, she saw a cup of coffee stretched towards her. The white colour of the cup emphasized the skin of the man who's holding it.
"T-Thanks," she said and reached for the cup of coffee without looking at the man.
However, even after receiving the coffee, the man didn't walk away. He stared at her for some time making her feel uncomfortable.
Please let me breathe! She plead at the back of her mind.
"I don't think you're one of my people," he said buffled. Her face is not familiar to him.
Hearing that, Arci quickly looked up from her seat meeting the man's pair of dark eyes. Her round eyes, pinkish cheecks, nose, and small lips stunned him for a second. His brows creased.
What the fvck? He doesn't know how she made him almost step back.
"Y-You don't...I-I mean, I'm Shyna's friend. She invited me here," she explained with a little feeling of ease because he doesn't recognize her.
But what do you mean 'your people'? His words buffled her.
His eyes, looking intensely back at her, swifted their gaze. "I see." He said dryly as he finally walked away and sat on the sofa opposite to hers.

DAMN. DAMN. DAMN! HOT DARK-SKINNED GUY PEOPLE!
