[Book 2] Game of Love

CHAPTER 10

I groaned when I heard my alarm clock. I reach out for it and push the bottom, shutting it off. I slowly moved my body and pains shoots throughout my whole body. Even my limbs are hurting. I release a long sigh of relief the moment I get my back flattened at the mattress.

I stared blankly at the ceiling. I sigh again when I remember what happen last night. For Blake that was just fun, that was just my reward in winning the deal but not for me. I will treasure every touch, every kiss and even every thrust he made into me. I smile bitterly into the memory.

I won't see him again.

I clench and unclench my fist that was gripping at the mattress beside me.

Blake.

I know that he go home early this morning, as his morning routine, after every night spending at his girls, he will go home exactly 2 in the morning. That was his habit. He don't want to be remembered by the girls he had sex the night before that's why before they can even open their eyes, he was gone.

I release a hurtful sigh. This is it, the end of everything to us.

"Honey," my nanny's daughter break my train of thoughts. She was knocking on my door, "Young Master Alex is here to pick you up," she said.

"I'm not coming, tell him to go ahead." I just responded to her.

She left me after that. She surely knows when to give me some space for myself. That's what I love her the most. She didn't bother to pry on me when she feels that I don't like talking about anything.

I crawl out from my bed to the bathroom and started to ransack my medicine kit, finding some pain reliever at the cabinet when someone knocks on my door.

Alex.

"Hunter?" he opens the door and saw me naked at the front of the medicine cabinet. "Are you okay?" he furrows his eyebrows to my naked state.

What? Do you expect me to run into the bathroom to hide like a girl because I'm naked? No, I'm proud of my body. So I'm proud to display it.

I just nodded without looking into him. I stare at the medicine in my grip. I couldn't understand what type of illness this medicine can cured. The medicine will effect not until an hour and even if I swallow it now, so I'm in trouble.

Fucking Blake.

"Are you sure? You look pale," he walk closer to me and ready to touch my forehead when I stop him.

"Dude, I'm naked for Pete's sake, go away." I told him and then slammed the door. I remember that I'm no kind of model to show my naked body to everyone especially with those hickeys adoring my pale skin. I remember that my bed smells cum. "Dude, stay away from my bed!" I shouted and I just heard him chuckle.

I quickly wrap a towel and face Alex's questioning look. I can still feel the pain engulfing my whole body especially in my rear but I still manage to walk and immediately dive my butt at the edge of the bed. I'm thankful that my bed is soft and it didn't give me problem.

"Aren't you going to school?"

"Nah, I'm not feeling well," matter-of-fact.

"Are you sick?" he cut the gap between us and touches my forehead. "What are you not feeling well for?"

"I don't want to go to school, that's it."

He nodded. "Want something to eat?"

"Alex, I'm fine. You should go," I said. "Your first period will start sooner. You'll be late promise,"

"What happen?" I was caught off guard. Heat curls up into my face when I remember what happen last night. Shit!

"Nothing happens," I said, "Bad. I mean, nothing bad happen," I assure him. Yeah, aside from my aching ass, I didn't consider it as bad.

"Hunter,"

"Alex please, I need rest. I wanted to rest."

"Not until you told me what happen," his stern voice made me jump a little. It's been years since I heard him sounds like a pissed off grandpa.

"Nothing happens, period." No way would I tell him about it. Though, Blake didn't reprimand me to do so, I still don't want to compromise my already broken relationship with him.

"I know what happen,"

I smirk. He's always acting like a damn investigator and uses his reverse psychology on me. Nah, I'm not gonna bite it.

"I saw Blake this morning, running away with his F450," he said which made my heart pound crazily underneath my chest. Shit! I forgot that his house and Blake's are relatively near. But one thing is for sure, he's lying. Blake didn't bring his car when he goes here the other day.

"Then?"

"Your bed smells like him," he continues nonchalantly and I caught off guard, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. "So you tell me, what is he doing here last night?"

"He's not here last night,"

"Liar,"

"What do you want?" annoyed.

"Tell me the truth,"

"There's nothing happen between us, okay?" I tried to explain, "He just came here and he spend the night since we talk about his new girl until midnight," I lied.

"And how can you explain your bed?"

"Should I have to tell you what he did?" I grinned devilishly. I walk closer to him wearing the best annoying grin I can ever have.

"Shit Hunt," he push me hard made me slump into my bed laughing my heart out.

"You're thinking too much dude," I said between my laughter, "Sometimes I think that you have something for him."

"Fuck you," he said scowling. I just laughed loudly to his face. "Hunt, I warn you. If I found out what really happened, I'm gonna kick your already sore ass, get it?"

"How- What?!" I grimace to that.

He just nodded.

"Tsk!"

"What you have in your hand can't relieve your pain idiot," he mumbles while walking out of my room. "Try aspirin," he said before he disappears in my sight and I was left dumbfounded.

Shit!

I was left with my heart pound painfully inside my chest. How did he know? Shit! I'm really a terrible liar after all. I groan before I slump my body back to the bed. He knows and I'm dead. I reach for my phone and texted him. I'll just tell him the truth then make up with him later. He doesn't like it when I'm lying to his face.

Lexie, I'm sorry. I just couldn't tell it to you. You know already what happen. Please don't talk about it to anyone. I will appreciate if you will just keep it a secret between us. Don't worry, this will be the last time I would lie to you and the last time I would be talking to you about him and the last time I will have contact with him. Promise ;)

I click the send button and it flow to Alex within seconds. I should think of the way I can to avoid Blake at all cost.

That guy will be the death of me.

It was one hour since Alex disappears in my sight but I was still nailed in my bed like I was meant to be glued on the mattress. I lay back to bed. I really need some sleep since I can still feel the pain even after I chew two tablets of aspirin.

What happens last night was like a movie on repeat in my head as if there's a reel that keeps on reeling. How can I face Blake? How can I talk to Alex after I lied to him? How can I explain that I need to skip classes today just to mend my sore ass? I don't know if I can still face the gang after I stitch a lie in their faces.

"Argh!!" I shouted in frustration. How can I do this? How can I be so selfish?

Sigh!
