Lost Chances

Chapter 1: The Unexpected Start

I woke up in an unfamiliar bed. As I move, headache suddenly struck me hard. I'm about to move my hand towards my face but realized it was entwined with another hand. A man's hand who was deeply asleep and was hugging me by my back. I couldn't see his face. I tried to move my shoulders which made the matress slide down the bed and revealed to me that I'm only wearing my under garments. And the man beside me was wearing just his boxers.

'What the fuck!' was the words that instantly got out of my mouth.

The man beside me suddenly moved and his face was revealed to me. As I recognized who he was, I immediately jumped out of bed and covered my body with the matress.

'What the fuck happened?' I asked him with a shocked face.

He looked at me and suddenly gave me a wide teasing smile and said 'Well, we had a drink at the bar last night and you got very drunk. And to make it short, we ended up sleeping together.'

'What? No way! I can't even remember kissing you!'

And then he burst out laughing.

'Hey, what's so funny?' I'm confused of why he's laughing.

Still laughing, he got out of bed, took a shirt from the closet and put it on.

'Damn it! Why are you laughing?' I shouted at him coz I'm already irritated.

He walked slowly towards me which made me take a step back. Looking at him with just his boxers and that shirt made my cheek flush.

God! He's hot! Why didn't I notice that before?. . Wait! What? No! Stop right there, Riya!

Our faces were almost touching which made my cheeks flush even more. He looked directly into my eyes and said, still with a teasing smile,

'I said we slept together. I did not say that we made love. So why think that we kissed?'

And by that, my face turned really red which made him laugh harder. I can only give him a sharp look, I don't know what to say.

'Maria, you really are cute. Here, wear this.' He already stopped laughing and gave me a shirt and jersey shorts. Then I remembered my clothes.

'Why are you giving me this?Where are my clothes? And who took off my clothes last night? Why are you hugging me when I woke up? Did you touch me when I'm asleep? What else did you do? What--'

'Whoa! Whoa! Wait! let me answer your first err- three or four questions. I'm giving you my shirts for you to wear it coz I am very aware that your naked underneath that matress.' that made me blush again and he cleared his throat and continue talking.
'Your clothes are hanged at the back door to dry because I washed it. You poured on them some disgustingly smelled liquid thing from your mouth known as vomit. And yes, I'm the one who removed your clothes off that-- that beautiful body of yours.' That made me put the matress closer to my chin and give him another sharp look.

He then walked towards the door and before turning the knob said in a serious tone without looking at me,
'I also washed you with a wet towel coz your sweating like hell. But I swear I didn't intentionaly touched any part of your body. That's the hardest part actualy. So, your welcome Ma'am! I'll get out and cook breakfast. Please wear that shirt, will you?' and he went out of the room leaving me speechless.

I can't really remember what happened last night. Think Riya! What happened? Oh! My headache's making it hard for me to remember it all!

As I sit on the bed, I saw my stiletto shoes under the side table and then I remembered it all! Up to the moment I asked him to hug me!

Oh my God! I swear I'm not going to get drunk ever again! That was so embarassing! How am I going to face him? I was a total flirt last night!
