True Love's Bite

04 // Blind Spot

I groaned as I tried to get up, my body felt weird. I don't suppose this is a result of a beauty spa.

My thighs were paining as if I'd just begun working out after being on hiatus for years, I could barely move.

I ran my hands over my skin, and my eyes shot open, prompting me into a sitting position, and I regretted it immediately because it was a bit painful down there.

My mind started racing with thoughts, and I could feel my eyes stinging with tears. Why was I stark naked? I raised the bed sheet and peeked under just to be sure that this was all a dream.

A choked sob escaped my lips and the tears started rolling as I wrapped the sheet around my body and climbed out of bed, my eyes widening in horror at the blood spots on the linen.

"No." I shook my head furiously, taking uncoordinated steps backwards.

The main door opened and a chirpy Esra walked in. "Hey, sleeping beauty, you are finally awake! You were sleeping like a-"

I moved at a lightning speed and locked myself in the bathroom, my body shaking as the tears continued falling. My heart felt like it was being crushed between two rocks.

How did this happen?

An urgent knock came from the door, but I completely blocked it out.

The sheet slipped out of my hands when I caught my reflection on the mirror, my hands instantly flying to my mouth to muffle my cries.

I stumbled across the room, towards the basin, my eyes never leaving my reflection. My hair was a mess, my lips were swollen, and my face had a whole new glow that was not there before.

But what really caught my attention were the marks on my neck and chest.

I shook my head, my mind refused to believe it, but my body and soul felt it, it was real. I'd lost my virginity last night and I did not even remember a thing.

This was not how I planned for things to happen, yes, I didn't fully agree with some of the things set by my family and the church, but one thing I firmly stood by was no sex before marriage.

Now, not only had I broken that vow, but I didn't even know how it happened.

I completely zoned out, I was like a zombie as I stepped into the shower and let the water flow down my body, and I jerked away from the spray when the hot water stung my shoulder, it was unbelievably excruciating, and I couldn't understand why.

I literally just poured water on myself and then stepped out of the shower, and then I went back to the mirror, nearly fainting at the huge bite mark on my shoulder.

Grabbing the towel off the rail, I stormed back into the room and found Esra sitting on the couch, a grave look on her face. The moment my eyes landed on her, the tears just started pouring, and I felt her pull me into her arms before she led me to the couch.

She comforted me without a single word.

I cried until my tears dried out and then sat there, staring into space.

"Sweetie, what happened?" Esra asked after what felt like forever.

I quickly pulled out of her hold and looked at her. "I should be asking you that, I don't know! I don't remember anything."

Esra grimaced. "Uhm... you... I..."

I frowned, Esra always had an answer and she always got to the point, she was not the one to run out of words or to stutter. "Esra," I pleaded.
