The extra-ordinary life

Chapter 23

Angelina fumbled trying to open her door. She was overly excited on stealing the kiss, her heart was pumping wildly against her ribs. She felt mischievous. Somehow opening her door, she went in.

I need to calm down..

She poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. "Calm down, calm down" she cooed to her heart patting on her chest and taking deep breaths.

Her phone rang... Darling you look perfect tonight..

Angelina blushed, because she knew it was Pete who called.

"Hello" she said in as much normal voice as she could master at that moment.

"Come to your balcony."

She stood in the balcony pressing her phone to her ears. Sure enough, Pete didn't leave yet.

He was leaning against his car, cross legged and looking up at her balcony.

"Mn" she said.

"Errr.. next time..." Pete cleared his throat before continuing, "you don't have to run away after doing that.."

Angelina felt mischievous again, "Doing what?" she asked, grinning.

Pete chuckled seeing her acting like that and couldn't resist the urge to tease, "Do you want a theoretical explanation or practical demonstration? Huh? I think practical will be better."

Angelina's cheeks were burning, "Shameless!" she pouted.

"Did I make you blush way too much?" Pete had his evil grin back on his face.

"Go home now it's late good night!!" Angelina babbled in one breath without pausing and ran inside.

Gosh! Why does he have to be so... sexy.

Ah my poor heart!!

Sam and David had very little cash on them. So, they decided to check in any cheap hotel available.

They approached the receptionist, "We want two rooms," David said. Luckily there were rooms available even in this peak tourist season. "Let's check the rooms first before booking" Sam suggested.

Sam almost vomited out her burgers after she saw the toilet of the room. "I don't want to stay here."

Next cheap hotel turned out to be worse. The rooms seemed like no-one was even trying to keep dusts away. Sam had severe dust allergy. She shook her head.

"Let's forget about cheap hotels. If we can't get a place to sleep, what's the use of saving money?" Sam said.

"Then.. let's go to a better place."

"Good evening, how may I help you?" The receptionist asked in a professional voice with a business smile.

"We want to book two rooms for one night." Samantha replied.

The receptionist checked on her computer and said, " I am sorry, ma'am. But there is only one room available. And it's a double room. Would you like to check in?"

Sam looked towards David, he just shrugged in response. "Umm.. can we check the room before booking?"

"Sure!"

Finally a decent room. The only problem was there was no other rooms available, and Sam was way too tired to check out other hotels. So she said to David, "Let's take it."

As soon as they entered the room, Sam laid on the bed, "Ahhh! So soft!"

"Go and wash up first."

Sam obliged and went in to shower.

Why is she taking so much time?

David was also exhausted. His back was aching. He stretched up his torso when the washroom door opened with a click.

His jaw almost touched the ground. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Samantha Presley was standing infront of him, only in a bath robe.

She was feeling really self conscious, "Umm.. I didn't have anything else to wear to sleep." she said avoiding his gaze.

"I am going to wash up" he quickly entered the washroom. "Damn it!" he muttered under his breath. All his blood was rushing south. He desperately needed a cold shower.

Sam was already on bed when he came out. Her cheeks heated up seeing David in his boxers. Such a smooth piece of fresh meat!

David scratched his head awkwardly saying " You can take the bed, I will sleep on the floor."

"The bed is big enough for both of us."

How can she share her bed with a man so easily? Or did she really not see him as a man? That was a serious issue!

"It's not a good idea to share bed with a grown up man" David stated coldly.

"I know." I don't mind if it's you.

"Why? Don't tell me you have a crush on me!!!" David tried to joke but his voice croaked.

Shit! Did I say that out loud?

"I am tired" Sam abruptly pulled the sheets and covered her face. Big mouth! - she scolded herself.

Her breath hitched when she felt the bed dip beside her. She almost forgot to breath when David crawled under her sheet.

This is not good for my heart. I need to consult a cardiologist tomorrow.

David laid still until he heard her breath even out. He sighed in relief. Her back was facing him. This time, he couldn't resist himself from getting close to her. He placed his arm around her tummy. She shifted in deep sleep towards the source of warmth.

The next morning

David woke up feeling a weight on his body. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times. His heart melted at the sight. Sam was practically on top of him. Before he knew, he was patting her head with one hand and hugging her with the other. He smiled, "...and she says I didn't grow up". He decided to sleep for some more time.

Indeed, this morning was the best morning in his life.

Sam heard a steady sound against her ears. "Weird" she thought, "the bed was so soft last night. Why is it feeling this hard now?" she thought inwardly and opened her eyes.

Her eyes widened on seeing the bed she was sleeping.
