Blue Flower

Chapter 39

-Chester-

                My head pounded as I opened my eyes. The sunlight filtered in the room, making it hot by a little degree. I looked around me and got shocked. The room was very messy. I saw the shattered bottle of brandy that lay across the floor. Pieces of clothes were scattered everywhere in the room. I tried to absorb the view around me, while the particles of alcohol dissolved inside my body. I popped my eyes open, and what I just saw earlier became more vivid.

                This wasn’t a dream. It was real.

                Naomi was quietly sleeping beside me. The covers were pulled up to our necks. She was perfectly laid on the bed, her beauty captivating me sideways. I looked underneath and froze. We were wearing nothing. What happened between us last night...

                “No!” I screamed, and it woke her up.

                “What’s wrong?” she asked and yawned.

                I stood up and picked up my clothes. I quickly changed and fixed myself, while Naomi stared at me like nothing happened.

                “I said what’s wrong?” she asked again, her voice raising a pitch. She was furious now, and I had to give a quick explanation.

                “Dress up now, okay?” I answered. I put my shoes on as she picked her clothes on the floor.

                “I’m sorry.” I said after fixing myself. She was starting to dress herself, and she turned to me with a devilish grin.

                “So, it really happened, huh? It’s alright. You did it well.”

                I threw a pillow at her and smiled. She just laughed and after she’s done with herself, she hugged me tightly.

                “Don’t worry, Chester. I don’t regret it. You made me happy, though we broke our number one rule.” she said and kissed me on the cheek.

                “No one should know about this.” I said, worrying that this might come out in the open.

                “My lips are sealed.” she answered and closed her eyes. I put my arms around her waist. I broke our number one rule: we can have one-night stand with other people but not with each other. I feared that another article might be written about me, and make my image dirtier than the last time. It was enough, and facing this thing was nerve-wracking. I wondered if I got her pregnant.

                “This is the last, Naomi. We won’t break all the rules we created.”

                “Sure.” she said. Her breath smelled of alcohol, and I realized we smell the same scent.

                We were perfectly still in that position when three loud knocks jolted us from our daydream. Naomi broke free immediately, and I looked at her with questioning eyes.

                “Noah’s there.”

                “Who is he?”

                “He’s my brother.” she said in panic and walked back and forth of the room. I found her bathroom wide open. 

                “I’ll hide here. Go talk to him.” I suggested and rushed inside. I heard that Noah call out Naomi’s name. I closed the door carefully and locked it. My heart raced as I heard their voices on the other side of the room.
