S I X: Not Roses

A warm ray of sunlight kissed my skin and I wake up. My hips hurt like hell and my thigh feels heavy. I open my eyes to an unfamiliar white room and saw a long white and hairy leg above my thigh. A muscular arm also hugs me from behind. What the heck!

I scream on top of my lungs and the other person also yelp in shock. We're both wide-eyed. I get up and check if I'm naked or something. Yes, I mean, no, thank God!

Tony sits beside me, chuckling. I notice that he's only wearing his boxers and something beneath it looks big, firm and swollen. My eyes grew wide, "Whoa!" That's bigger than what I expected.

"Oh shit!" He blurts out. He runs to the bathroom and wore an army green boardshorts. When he got back, he's scratching his nape, looking shy, "Sorry about that. It's morning and you're beside me on that sexy nighties, n-no, I m-mean..I-It's not my intention to uh-"

I smile, "It's fine. I got ya."

I jump out of the bed, prepare my clothes and my eyes get a view of the time, 7:45 AM. I'm late!

Call time is 8:00 AM for me, Tony's at 9:00 AM since he doesn't wear make-up.

I hurriedly went to the bathroom and it's locked to my dismay.

"Tony, I'm late. I need to take a quick shower."

"Well, I'm doing my morning routine. I can't hold this in. You may take a bath, there's a shower curtain anyway."

"Never." I'll just wait for him.

"This is so we can call it quits. Remember what happened in the limo?" He howls in laughter.

I stand corrected, he's no gentleman. A true gentleman would never engage in such behavior. That humiliating experience is like his ace against me. He'll use it when he feels like so.

My cheeks are now deep red, "Okay, if you say so." I don't have a choice anyway. I need to arrive on time or else it will add up to the pile of issues I'm facing right now.

The door clicks after I used the spare key to our bathroom.

Tony is sitting like a king on his throne and he looks like he's seen a ghost after I entered the bathroom. He covers his most prized possession before I can have a peek of it. Bingo! His expression is priceless. 

I cover my eyes as I track my way to the shower area, grinning impishly.

Tony's voice is loud and angry, like disgust's pouring out on me. "Are you kidding me?! I was just joking! Why are you here?!"

I arrive at the shower area and close the curtain, "Don't mind me. Smells bad in here but it's tolerable." Making sure that he hears me snicker teasingly. He growls and grits his teeth after.

"Ash, I can see your silhouette. The code name Sexy Angel fits you. You should've used that. Ha ha ha!" He teases.

Yikes, he moved on too quickly, huh?

"You wish! I know you can't even have a glimpse of me. The curtain is very thick." I answer.

"I'm liking this. We're like husband and wife already, we slept on the same bed and even sharing the bathroom now." He belly laughs.

"Not gonna happen! Duh. I'll never marry you!"

"Let me remind you that you said you won't come inside here earlier, but you did otherwise. Just make sure you'll not eat your own words." I hear the toilet flush and the door close.

A beautiful bouquet of Gardenia flowers awaits me at the dressing room. They're around two dozens, I guess. It's wrapped in a purple paper, bundled by a pink bow. So beautiful.
