(ROBIN)

I woke up to an unfamiliar surroundings. I see green walls with cream trimmings to offset all that green. Despite being soft and comfortable, I knew instantly that I am not lying down on my own bed.

"Where am I?" I wondered as I slowly brace myself by pushing my palms on the bed. I pushed myself up, the cover sliding from my body and that's when I noticed that I am only in my underwear. "Shit," I muttered darkly. I don't remember taking my clothes off so suffice it to say, someone else undressed me.

"Please let it be an employee of ours," I prayed as I slowly knelt on the bed and look up.

To see AnneMarie staring at me.

She's on the bed with me. Wearing a pastel pink colored spaghetti strapped top while the rest of her were under the cover. She's holding a phone in her hand. "Good morning," she greeted me brightly.

I slowly reached for a pillow and cover my lap with it. "Is this a way to trap me to marriage?" I asked her because that's the first conclusion that popped into my head.

AnneMarie laughed. "What? No! I don't want to marry you. This is blackmail." She showed me the screen of her phone. There, I saw an image of me and her sleeping together on the bed. She's not wearing her top on that picture giving the impression that she is naked with me in bed.

I sighed. "What do you want?" Surely, if she is blackmailing me...that means she wants something.

"Stop forcing yourself on Blu," AnneMarie said while pushing her hair that falls on her face. She folded her legs and placed her chin on her raised knees. "I want you to stop chasing after Blu and instead date me." She added.

"Are you sure marriage won't do?" I asked because she is being ridiculous. "Why would I date you? Wait!" I put a palm up to stop her from answering. My knees are protesting from kneeling on the soft bed and I need to pee. "I need to pee," I said as I carefully climbed off the bed. "Will you stay and wait for me?"

"Of course," AnneMarie rolled her eyes. "We are still making a deal, Robin."

"Right," I sighed as I made my way to a door. Luckily, I found the bathroom. I locked the door and relieved my bladder. I washed my hands and face on the sink and that woke me up fully. I took a towel and noticed the name of a hotel embroidered in it.

So I am in a hotel. I spent the night on a hotel with Blu's bestfriend. What a fuck up!

I got out of the bathroom and found AnneMarie sitting at the foot of the bed, still busy with her phone. I now see that she is wearing a knee length leggings with her top.

Not naked at all.

"Your clothes are in there," she pointed at a chair while still her fingers are still busy tapping on her phone. My almost nakedness doesn't do anything to her. This is confusing me. I went to get dress. Then I sauntered to the personal fridge on that room and opened it to see if there are water available inside it.

Tough luck, I see only canned soda and little bottles of liquor.

Well, I am still hungover so I won't touch those bottles. I choice a diet cola and took a sip of it. The fizz burns my throat and mouth. I want to die.

"What is it that you want again?" I asked AnneMarie before taking another sip of diet cola.

"Stop bothering Blu and instead date me," AnneMarie said. She put down her phone to look at me. "I want you to date me, Robin..."

"Not possible..." I don't want to be in a romantic relationship with her.

"And then dump me as well," AnneMarie continued like I didn't interrupt her.
