Mathew
I felt too terrible to open my eyes, the load of rocks sitting on my head was crushing my skull. The piercing rays of day light ,were boring a hole in my head. I clutched my forehead to stop the continuous pounding and attempted to open my eyes. The room felt as strange as the feeling in the pit of my stomach. Blue curtains were swinging with the wind coming through the slightly opened window. The sudden stir in bed caught my attention, lying beside me was a naked body,face fully buried in pillows showing his marvelously toned and tanned back. I wanted to turn him around but was too afraid to know the truth. Nonetheless, with my shaking hand I removed the string of hair from the side of his face and the ground beneath me trembled.
" why the fuck are we naked in the same bed"? I kicked him hard with all the might I had. He landed on his butt,naked. I looked away and heard the rustle of covers. He crept behind me and murmured in his husky voice " last night was quite a fun" I shivered at the thought of what might had happened. I elbowed him to gut and pulled myself out of bed,dragging the seats with me and holding onto them for my dear naked life.
"Want the fuck did you do to me"?. I threatened him to call all the hotel staff and sheriff to report him.
He walked to me raising his both hands in surrender " calm down! Nothing happened" he assured " you puked on our clothes and covers ,after drinking too much at the party...."he indicated the pile of neat and clean clothes,carefully placed on the dressing " I had to change your clothes along with mine and had to ask for new seats".
"Then ,why didn't you sleep on the couch" I doubted his explanation.
" coz sleeping on couch without covers was not good idea in such a cold night" he spoke nonchalantly.
" you should have asked for an extra " I angrily gritted.
"And what the fuck I was supposed to tell them"? he raised his brow questioningly,his face lost it's cool and he clenched his fist " that me my husband want to sleep separately" he gritted. My eyes popped out of my head on hearing the word 'husband'. I barely uttered any word for a moment.
"W...what's that s....supposed to mean"? I stuttered,suddenly becoming much conscious of my naked body under his gaze,I pulled the covers up to my chest and hold it tightly as if my life depends on it.
He huffed and shoved his hands in his pockets and walked to me. If I wasn't already pressed into wall,I would have taken a few steps back to keep the distance---" you were fucking unconscious ,people were suspicious of me as your kidnapper, so------ I had to make it up with an alluring lie".he smiled at the ending line and eyed me from head to toe, like an artist proud of his own creation,admiring it. I got chills from his stares.
I wanted to leave the room immediately . I called Mika to pick me up. As I walked to get out of the hotel, neatly dressed in my recent laundered
clothes, the receptionist eyed me over her desktop and stood up smiling, brimming with excitement,she greeted the afternoon. It would have been so rude of me to avoid such a nice lady with good heart if I had not replied her. I nonchalantly nodded and went to reception.
Her smile widened and soon it turned into a grin " are you leaving early "? placing her one palm on another she continued " you guys are my first gay couple in this hotel since I am a receptionist here" she announced stretching her head proudly, gaining all the attention at the ground floor. I turned around so quickly that the muscles of my neck would have sprained, had I not been a boxer.
Certainly all the eyes were on me,showing a varied rainbow of emotions, like---- hate ,disgust,cheer up,pity,curiosity, indifference,amazement, support etc,at the same time.
My cheeks heated,I only smiled unable to decide how to respond. "You kind of look perfect together " she caught my attention again " your husband loves you and care about you so much " The shade of pink on my cheeks travelled to my earlobes .I was out of words at her ability of imagination.
" last night " she frowned slightly looking up to the ceiling thoughtfully, and shifting her gaze to me again,she came a bit more closer, slightly bending on her desk " he was holding you like a drop of water, about to drip down and lose its existence " she chirped like a morning bird .
Suddenly an image of Samuel,holding me in bridal style ,flashed through my head. A chill ran through my spine, turning me Scarlett red to the previous pink. Taking my leave from the receptionist, I staggered to the exit where Mika was waiting for me.

As I descended the car Mika followed me in the house. She told me it was she who ratted me out to him.
"Wait" she tried to force herself into the gate I was about to shut and held the nob so tightly that my knuckles began to feel numb.
"You .....made a joke out of me"I furrowed pointing a finger at her "were you out of your mind?".
" I am so sorry.... please let me in". She pleaded,pushing the door to get inside. " I just wanted to teach him a lesson " she explained.
At the party he challenged me to drink and dance and I did drank and danced like an idiot, Mika told me after I let her inside."but....what's the point of teaching him a lesson ".I wanted to know the purpose behind her foolish act. Whenever she tried to pull a stunt ,it ended up in a disaster. I remember correctly ,when she tried to teach me driving, I ended up in a hospital ,IV string attached to my wrist. I had few stitches on left side of my forehead. A shudder ran through my spine, at the reminder of the dreaded memory.
" I know how wasted you can be when you had a few drinks, so I wished you, to be a pain in his ass "she revealed her million dollar strategy, giving gestures like an FBI agent " so that you could ruin his night literally ".
" wasted......?" I repeated the word forcefully ,questioning her sanity "I was fucking intoxicated "she winced at my words" no--- I was unconscious as hell".
"I had no idea--- " she nervously gulped the saliva forming in her mouth "---you were drank that much".
"Fine"I gestured ,throwing my both hands in air, perching my lips together I joined my both hands in a 'namastay' symbol " please stop your lunatic ideas ---" she flinched at my choice of words "---- I don't want to complicate things any further ,than they already are" I stated my point clearly. She nodded in understanding.
