Yesterday's Future 2✔️

44. The chain of events that led to this moment.

7:13am,
Imperial Suites.

Simi stirred, her eyes fluttering open and her senses gradually awakening to the softness of the sheets against her naked body as the early morning light seeped in through the thick curtains, casting a faint glow over the unfamiliar surroundings. Blinking sleepily, her vision adjusted, and she became aware of the coolness of the room.

With a soft sigh, she shifted in the bed, her gaze drifting to the empty space beside her. Though Adam was no longer there, the echoes of their shared passion the previous night lingered in the air like a tangible presence. A blush crept across Simi's cheeks and a sense of contentment enveloped her as she basked in the afterglow, the weight of the world momentarily lifted from her shoulders. Despite the fatigue that weighed heavily on her limbs, she couldn't suppress the thrill of excitement that coursed through her veins.

In the hazy moments before full wakefulness, a vivid flashback of last night played in her mind like a movie reel. It was Adam's birthday, they had returned from their dinner date, and as they stepped into the elevator, Adam kissed her, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss, a culmination of the tension that had been building between them all evening. She remembered the way his touch had ignited a fire within her, the way his lips had brushed against hers in the heat of the moment.

As the elevator ascended, their bodies pressed together in a desperate embrace. The world outside faded away, leaving only the two of them, drawn together by an undeniable magnetism. The memory brought a smile to her lips, as she lay in bed, her heart fluttering with happiness, recalling the rush of emotions that had swept over them when they stumbled into Adam's room.

Entering Adam's luxurious room had felt like stepping into a dream—a haven where time stood still and worries melted away. He had pulled her into his arms, his touch sending shivers down her spine. They had kissed, their passion igniting like a wildfire. Clothes had been discarded in a frenzy of desire, until they were both naked, lost in each other.

Now alone, the room was shrouded in shadows, the only sound the gentle hum of the air conditioning. She could feel the cool air against her bare skin, sending shivers down her spine as she stretched beneath the crisp white sheets. A contented smile tugged at the corners of her lips, her body still humming with the lingering traces of her passionate night with Adam. It had been everything she had hoped for and more, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing, a desire to relive it over and over again.

As she sat up, the sheets slipping off her body and exposing her breasts, she glanced around, taking in her surroundings. The room was spacious, with modern furnishings and a minimalist design. The soft glow of a lamp illuminated the bedside table, casting a warm light over the room.

She reached for her purse on the bedside table, intending to retrieve her phone and call Ada about her trip back to Abuja, but her eyes landed on the mysterious letter she had received the previous day. For some reason, she had kept the letter in her purse before going out on a date with Adam. Curiosity piqued, she set her phone aside and picked up the letter, unfolding it to read its contents once more.

As she stared at it, the door creaked open, and Adam entered the room, a tray of breakfast in hand. Simi quickly tucked the purse away, the letter momentarily forgotten. Her pulse quickened as he approached the bed, shirtless and wearing only briefs, memories flooding back with renewed intensity.

"Good morning, beautiful," he greeted, his voice breaking the silence of the morning, warm and tender as he set the tray down beside her. Leaning in, he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering for a moment before pulling away.

Simi couldn't help but smile, feeling a rush of contentment wash over her as her eyes roamed over the lines of his muscular form. She absorbed his presence—the rise and fall of his chest in the dim light, the gentle curve of his lips, and his heavenly smell that engulfed her. He looked perfect, she thought, and she couldn't imagine starting her day any other way.
