Two sides of the same coin - Armando Aretas x OC

Strays

It was the middle of the night and Inessa wondered out of the room she was staying in, making her way through the dark as she located the bathroom, she could hardly ever sleep at night.

She cupped the water from the sink as she splashed her face, grabbing a cup and drinking, before turning the light off and opening the door.

What she hadn't realised, and Mike had failed to mention was that Armando too was staying in his house. 'They really have a thing for strays' she thought as she walked directly into Armandos figure.

Rubbing her eyes the girl looked up to see the man standing in front of her shirtless and in a pair of shorts, she had never been this close to see him, though she barely could in the dark.

"Didn't realise you were here aswell" she said as she stood in front of him in nothing but a long sleeve and her underwear, now acutely more aware of her surroundings.

"por qué, you wouldn't have accepted his offer then" he said leaning down ever so slightly, the seamless blend of both his Spanish and English words flowed from his rich deep voice.

"no, simplemente hubiera elegido, better clothing" (no, just would have chosen...) she said holding eye contact and noticing a slight twitch in his eye looking down at her.

The two just stood there for a moment, neither one moving.

But both equally as tired as one another, Inessa decided to move away, making her way back to her room, but not before turning back. "You know you shouldn't doubt me so much, we might not know each other personally, but just know professionally, I am good at what I do" she stated firmly. The man offering only a nod and slight smirk to her as he closed the toilet door.

She made it back to her room as she lay on top of her sheets awake. She didn't care for Armando, he was full of himself and far too serious.

All she knew was being that close in proximity to a man, she needed to get some.
