My One Night Chance | Wattys 2019

#7 | Morning Bubbles

The sunlight covered my morning tired face and my eyes started to flutter. I groaned and hid underneath a pillow, covering myself in some covers.

Covers? Pillows?

I jumped up from the bed, not recognising the room I was in. It was a light, clean room with modern furniture and one iron desk with a matching leather chair. The bed was soft like a cloud. A dream come true. I stood up naked while taking everything in as my mind was running away. Making horrible scenarios.

What if someone kidnapped me?

The door creaked and I ran to the corner of the room, taking the tv remote as my weapon.

"Stay back! I got a gun!" I yelled out holding the remote as one. I felt the disappointment wash over me as I thought... A gun? Really? Couldn't you take something less... not obvious.

Mr. Mysterious walked in with a with breakfast plate. My cheeks started to burn again. Pancakes with fresh berries and fruit with orange juice and a little red rose in a vase. He smirked at me while looking at me up and down.

"Well, morning to you too", he chuckled and put the breakfast plate on the bed. "I do enjoy the view but really... a gun?" He raised his eyebrow and took the remote away. "You shouldn't get yourself in situations where you can get hurt or kidnapped. It's foolish."

"So sleeping with you was foolish? My mistake." I crossed my arms at him and he bit my lips.

"Yes. It was extremely foolish. But you're lucky I'm not a perv or dangerous to you."

"Where am I?"

"At my place. People started to come to the beach in the morning and I didn't want people to see a freshly-" he smirked and stopped himself from saying the rest of the sentence. I rolled my eyes and pushed him away teasingly. He wrapped my arms around my waist, pulling me close enough to kiss my lips again. The warm thrill ran through my spine again and I gasped lightly.

Without hesitation I kissed him back, cupping his cheek like it was my new habit.

"I really enjoy to see you without your clothes, darling. You should show your body more freely instead of hiding it", he whispered against my lips.

"I'm not hiding?"

"You're not confident over your body. And let me tell you something." His hands felt my waist to my hips and rested there. "A woman with your curves should be the most confident one of all."

I looked away, looking around the room instead of him. But he wouldn't have that. He cupped my cheek forcefully and made me look at him and he looked into my eyes with a dominant look.

"Promise me you'll love your body and yourself. You're never hiding it again."

"I can't promise that", I whispered. "You don't know me."

"That's what makes this perfect. We don't know each other and we can tell each other what others would hide from us. Total honesty." He streaked my cheek as he looked at me. "After all, we're just two strangers enjoying each other's company."

"I thought our thing was a one night stand", I giggled and pulled his hair, making him groan in pain, yanking backwards.

"It's a one night stand with morning delight!" He picked me up bridal style and I giggled. "Breakfast or morning bath first?" My stomach growled, making me blush. He raised his eyebrow at me.

"Definitely breakfast in the bath", he said and walked over to the bathroom. He dropped me in the bath, making my whole body crash into the water as bubbles flew around me. I gasped for air as my head got underneath the water.
