My mind was hazy, tears threatened to fall out of my eyes and I was a mess, both emotionally and mentally. I can't believe Ace would do such a thing! I knew he was a playboy but he made me believe that he actually liked him. Even if it was on for only two weeks or so.

I could not help by ponder over what had happened and what would have happened had it not been for Harley, the bartender.

I would be drugged, raped and probably murdered by some random person on the streets. Lets face it, Bangkok downtown is not exactly the safest place at night, especially after 12am.

And above all, I felt that Kirun had always been right. I should have listened to him in the first place and not gone to that first date of ours.

What if I was drugged and raped? How would I face myself then?

"INDAH!" I looked up to see Kirun staring at me.

"I thought you said you won't think about it" he said and I shrugged my head, sitting up on the couch.

He sighed and took a seat beside me. He took my hands and I looked towards him.

"It is fine. Nothing happened. And nothing will happen" he said and I stayed silent. All these happened and he still is there for me.

"Indah, forget it. Think of it as a lesson in your life and get over it" he explained and I looked away, tears threatening to fall off. A single tear slid off when his cold hands touched my cheeks. He wiped the tears away and turned me to face him. I was too drained to counteract.

"It is okay" he whispered and tears fell freely from my eyes. I was so done.

I was so near to being drugged and raped! Hell, I had drunk a little from the drugged martini! The guy who; supposedly made me feel safe and happy, was the one who drugged me! Am I that easy?

I felt shame and guilt and hurt, all building up at once inside me. I felt anger and other emotions I did not know of within me. I had bought this upon myself. I was so proud of giving good judgement on people after getting to know them for a day or so. How did I mess this one up? HOW?!

"Indah, its okay." he soothed my hair and I placed my face in my hands and cried harder.

It was too much for me to take. Why did he do it? Why couldn't he wait for me like any other guy would? Why didn't he just tell me he wanted to sleep with me?

Why play this messed up game with me?

Why?!

I inhaled a deep breath and sniffed, sitting up straight. I took the water from the table in front of me and drank it. Placing the bottle back on the table, I turned to Kirun who was looking at me with a concerned expression.

"My head pounds" I muttered and he smiled slightly. He leaned back on the other part of the couch when someone knocked on the door. He turned to me and gestured to the door with a 'I'll be back'. I leaned on the couch and tried to calm my pounding head. I don't know if it was the drug or just my over-thinking that was causing it.

"Pizza!" said Kirun, a little too loudly causing me to groan.

"Oh sorry. But food" he said, placing the box of pizza on the table in front of us. He then walked back somewhere and returned with two bottles of fruit juice that he set on the table too.

"Eat!" he pushed the box of pizza towards me and I sighed, picking a piece up and biting it. Slowly I chewed on it and surprisingly it was nice.

"Are you calm now?" he asked me as he chewed his piece. I nodded my head, picking up the second piece. Food cured everything, right?

Half way through, he had put on some cartoon that had Demi Lovato as one of the cast voices and the guy sounded very much like that builder guy from my childhood cartoons. What was his name again? He spoke Spanish with tools. Ah.... Spencer? Boldman? Bold? Bobby? Ah yes, Bob. Bob the builder.

A while later, I was forcing my eyes to stay open. It was like everything in my body was screaming at me to stop the torture and just sleep.

I could sleep. But I was not ready for the nightmares that would arise. I felt a hand on my head and I turned to Kirun smiling at me.

"Sleep"

I shook my head.

"Sleep, I promise to look out for you" he said and with the look of sincerity in his eyes, I knew he would. I somehow, somewhere, deep inside knew that Kirun would never jeopardize me in any way.

So I let sleep take over. What ever happens, shall be met with.

| Snippet. |

Kirun stared at the girl sleep on his lap with a smile. It was not just any smile, it was one filled with fondness and promises. One said screamed how much he liked her.

She shifted on the pillow on his lap, pulling her arms to herself. When Indah started to let sleep get to her, she fell on his lap and got comfortable. Kirun had placed a blanket on her and increased the temperature of the room to make it less cold. He had then gone back to watching Charming while the girl of his dreams slept soundly on his lap.

Indah moved a little in her sleep and soon she was quivering. Kirun, upon seeing this, increased the temperature of the room even more to make it hot and placed the blanket. She tried pulling him down but since Kirun was a human and not a t-shirt, he couldn't move. Indah groaned in even more frustration before getting up and sitting straight on the sofa. She was asleep and this was a natural reflex of hers to take what she wants before going back to sleep again. It was something she did.

Kirun observed her for a while and when he realized she was pulling his t-shirt, he simply laughed and stretched a bit to grasp his hoodie lying on the desk nearby. He handed her the hoodie and immediately she clenched to it and fell on his lap again, closing her eyes.

Kirun smiled at her antics. She really was something.
