Dreena woke up with the sun biting down her skin. She stretched languidly with her eyes slightly open. She stilled for a second when her eyes dropped on the curtain which happened to be black instead of her purple ones.
And then, memories came rushing to her mind like a landslide. She shot up, head immediately snapping to the four corners of the bed. Her eyes stopping on the wrinkled sheets at her left side. A clear indication that someone had definitely slept there. In her alcohol free mind, she's taking what happened last night was not a dream at all. There is no mistaking the tinge of blood smeared on the white sheets. It's done. They had definitely done it.
She had given herself completely and utterly to Nicklause DeLevigne-- her pretend husband.
Ibinagsak niyang muli ang katawan sa kama. Isinuklay niya ang mga daliri sa buhok.
What now?
Iyon ang unang tanong na namutawi sa bibig niya.
Paano na?
Most girls would usually find it trivial but in her case, this is something serious. And waking up without Nick on sight is not easing her mind at all.
Napalingon siya sa bedside table. It's already ten in the morning. For sure, kanina pa nagtataka ang mga kasama niya sa bahay kung bakit tanghali na ay hindi pa siya lumalabas ng kwarto. Lalo pa't hindi niya ugaling hindi sumabay sa kanila sa agahan. This is not her usual routine. Not her usual wake up time.
She slipped off the sheets and got up, wincing at the sudden move in between her thighs. She's still sore. She carefully walked around the bed to the bathroom.
There, sitting on top of the counter is her peach colored summer dress along with her pair of white lacy bra and panties. A note is on top of it.
Kunot noong kinuha niya iyon.
'Need to meet with the guys for a short meeting. Be right back after an hour.'
- Nick
Muli siyang tumingin sa salamin. Dahan dahan niyang tinanggal ang puting t-shirt na suot niya. Sinipat niya ang sarili sa lahat ng anggulo pagkatapos.
Nothing changed.. except from lossing her virginity, her body still looks the same. Mas mamula mula lamang ang kanyang pisngi at para bang nagkabuhay ang maputi niyang kutis.
Pagkatapos maligo at magbihis, naisipan niyang lumabas na ng kwarto. Pipihitin na sana niya ang seradura ng kusa iyong pumihit at bumukas. A muscular arm held it.
Napaatras siya ng pumasok si Nick. With his blue colored V neck shirt and black pants hanging low on his hips and hugging his thighs, he definitely looked like one of those gorgeous male models in a fashion magazine.
Though he would look more beautiful without those clothes on..
Agad niyang iwinaksi ang partikular na ideyang iyon sa isip.
"Done checking me out?"
Even if her head is turned to the other side, he could see the smirk forming on his face
She cleared her throat and straigtened her back before facing his indeed, smirking face.
"Everything okay with the guys?" Pagiiba niya ng usapan.
Umangat ang isang kilay nito. Probably with how calm her voice was even though she's currently trembling inside because of nervousness.
"Hm.. How about you, feeling better now?" He asked, concern laced on his voice.
