Chapter 3

I feel like I’m flying, I think someone lift me. I try to open my eyes. My head is hurts and spinning. I feel so comfortable. Julian?

“Julian?”

“Hey sleeping beauty. You’re awake?” Who is it? I blink. Oh my god. It’s James. I gasped.

“You can let me down now.” I told him. This is so embarrassing.

“Hmm let me think. The answer is no.”

“Please my head is hurt.”

“Please wait a little more. I’ll put you to bed.”

I looked around. I’m at lobby. What time is it now?

“Where am I?” I asked him. I’m in some stranger arms.

“Oh my god Julian. Put me down. I need to call Julian.”

“It’s okay, your friend Jane already told your protective brother that you are slept over at her apartment.”

“What? And why am I here?” I ask him. I almost shout.

“Hush. Keep it down it’s one in the morning.” He push the elevator button.

“Please let me down now. It’s so embarrassing.” I beg.

“Why would you drink like that?” He narrowed his eyes.

“I only have four ………or five.” I don’t remember. He smell so heavenly. He raised his eyebrow to me. Okay maybe more.

“Where am I?” I ask him again.

“My Apartment.”

Elevator door open. And he walk in and he push at 25 floor.

“I’m heavy, I don’t think you can hold me that long.” I tried another way.

“Try me.” He smirks.

I silent when he walks in to the room. A very big room. I think this is a Classic Six.

“Can you let me down now please?” He smile. I think my face is red.

“I’ll put you to bed. I promise your friend I’ll took a good care of you.”

“Oh this is so embarrassing.” I cover my face with my hands. I couldn’t resist. I don’t have that power now.

We walk straight to his room I think. And he put me down to his bed.

“Do you want to drink?” He pulls my both hands down.

“Yes thanks.” I look down ashamed. I lock my finger.

“Lie down now.” He push my body and lie down on the bed. His bed.

He fetch a water for me. He come back fast.

“Here, Drink this. You’ll feel better.” I gulp down all of it. It’s cold and made me awake.

“Feel better?” I nod.

“Okay sleep for now.” He walk away to another room.

I have my purse with me. I search for my phone. I got a text from Jane.

Dear Chris,

When you read this, which means you’re up. Don’t worry about Julian. I told him, you sleep over at my place. Do a good job. I hope you pop you cherry.

xoxo

Your Bitch.

Shit, My face hotter right now. She had to pay for this. Tomorrow. I’m so sleepy now. I really need a good sleep. But how can I sleep in this situation. Where I’m alone with some man I just met. A stranger. And without shirt just a PJ pants.

“Let’s sleep.” WHAT??? He slid into the bed next to me. And turn his back to me. My jaw almost dropped to floor.

“Sleep. I’m not going to touch you.” He pull his blanket to cover his body.

“How can I be sure?” I asked him. Then he just laughed.

“I’m not in that kind feeling right now. You’re not sober. And I’m tired.”

“Or do you expect anything from me?” He turn around facing me and smile wickedly.

“Of course not. Are you crazy?” He smiled weakly.

“Sleep then, I’m tired and sleepy.” He turn his back again. I lie down and put a pillow in our middle bed.

“You’re funny. Trust me I won’t do anything.” He laughed and he is knock out.

I worried that I’d be delirious. But I’m too tired to think. I’ll sleep here but not with him. I wait a little more. And I think he is in a dream channel now. I slowly get up from the bed and walk out from the room. I walk to the living room and I found a couch. He had a beautiful living room and it’s so big. He also had a fireplace. Fortunately he wasn’t awakened. I fall asleep fast. Too tired.

I wake up from my sleep. I feel so comfortable. And something pressing me. See, this is what I mean. I check my phone. Shit. It’s seven thirty. I wasn’t aware he put me back to bed. His arms wrap around me. Oh God. I get up slowly and managed to free myself from him. I saw him sleep soundly. I’m going to borrow his bathroom. I walk slowly to outside.

“Hey, Morning.” He wakes up. He rub his eyes.

“Oh, Good morning.” This is so awkward. I even think to go before he wakes up. Shit

“If you want to use bathroom. It’s inside.” He grin at me. He pointed the bathroom.

Oh he even looks great when he wakes up. And his messy hair. I go and find the bathroom. I quickly wash, and found new toothbrush. I’ll pay him later. This is so stupid. Get drunk and sleeping with stranger. A handsome stranger.

I don’t have time for drying my hair. I saw him doing something at kitchen. And he played songs from somewhere.

“Hey thanks for last night. I have to go now. I’ll pay you back for the toothbrush.” I told him while I’m checking my bag.

“No need to rush. Eat your breakfast first. You don’t need to pay for the toothbrush. It’s stupid.” He plate some bread in front of me. And some fried egg.

“No I’m late, I won’t make it.”

“It’s only five minutes if you walk from here.” I raised my eyebrow.

“How do you know?” I don’t even know where I am.

“I just know.” He is smirking.

“How?”

“Eat.” His lip is twitching.

I shake my head and take a bite of everything he offers. I’m hungry anyway. So I just listen to him.

“Some fruit?”

“Yes thanks.” I put the fresh strawberry in to my mouth and chew it quickly.

“Slowly.” He offer a cold orange juice to me.

He go to his room, then come out in a minute.

“Ready to go?” He asked with a big smile.

“Yes, let’s go.”

We walk to elevator. I sighed. I peek a little of him. He is staring down at me. Shit

“What?” I asked.

“Nothing. How’s your head now?” He asked worriedly.

“I’m okay now. Thanks by the way.” I thank him sincerely.

“You can thank me later.” He pull my hands and we both out from his apartment.

He open the car door for me. An Audi. It’s a sport car. He’s rich man. And I climb in. He walk to the driver side.

“Where is my car?” I ask him.

“Oh, it’s at your office parking lot.” He start the engine.

“How?” I ask curiously.

“Oh I asked my driver to put your car there.” He had a driver. Of course.

He just driving for two blocks I think. I can already see my office building. He get down from the car. And open door car for me. He is a gentleman. I climb out.

“Thanks for the ride. I appreciate it.” I told him.

“I’ll see you later then?”

“Later?” I ask. Will we see each other again? I’m not so happy for the thought. I’m embarrassed enough not to see him anymore.

“I’ll call you.” He smile wide with a messy hair. And drive away.

Call me? How? Did he have my number?

“Hey Chris.” Jane shout from behind.

“Hey.” I hit her shoulder lightly.

“What?” Her eyes widen.

“Are you crazy? I just met him. What will he think of me?” I frown at her.

“I don’t know, I think he likes you. He take care of you yesterday. So I think he was interested in you. And I think he is gentleman.”

“Don't ever do that again.” I pointed at her.

“I’m sorry babe.” She made a cute face.

“Yeah. By the way, I have a lot of question to ask you. Come.” I narrow my eyes.

She walked with me. And we meet Aaron at the elevator.

We talked about yesterday. And yes she is the one who told him about Julian and everything.

“So what are you doing yesterday? Did you guys…?” I stop her with my finger.

“NO. Why would you think like that? Julian will kill me if he knows. Like you wouldn’t know. You know how Julian is.” I shout a little.

“I’m sorry but I think this is a best chance for you to get a boyfriend. He’s hot. Super-Hot. But I like Julian better.” She grin to me.

“I don’t know what to do with you anymore.” I sigh.

“Hey. I love you.” Her smile almost touching with her eyes.

“And I hate you, I’ll talk to you later. I have to work. I’ll see you at lunch.”

“Bye.” She walk back to her desk.

Elis is on vacation, I don’t have many jobs to do. I go down and check the mail. I take the mail and back to my desk. I rearrange her schedule and email it to her.

At lunch I saw Aaron and Jane walked out from elevator. They back from wherever they came from.

“Let’s go.”

“Where?”

“Lunch of course.” Aaron answer me.

“Alright.”

We walked to next door building. They had a coffee shop and some other restaurant. We stopped at coffee shop. Jane and I sit while Aaron helps us order.

“So, when will you tell me?” Jane start again. Ugh

“What?” I made an I-DON'T-KNOW-WHAT-ARE-YOU-TALKING-ABOUT face.

“You know it. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m going to ask you.”

“I don’t get it.” I still pretend.

“I think you like him.” She force me to talk.

“I just met him Jane.” I sigh and surrender to her.

“What kind of answer is that? Give me something else.” I know she wants to know about yesterday.

“Nothing we just slept. I woke up when we arrived at his hotel. It’s around one I think.” I remember ask him about the time.

“Slept huh? Didn’t do anything else?”

“We just slept, I wait until he slept and I moved to his couch at the living room and when I woke up, I found myself on his bed again.”

“What? You stupid girl, Why would you do that. You’re fucking ****** you know.” She is furious now. I laughed at her.

“Don’t start.” I’m warning her.

Aaron come back and join us with lunches and drinks.

“So yes or no?” He ask Jane. What is it?

“No.” Jane cover her face and sigh. She seems disappointed.

“Wow. I do not expect this. So he is a gentleman after all huh?” He grin to me.

“What do you guys expect me to do with him?” I ask out of curiosity.

“Sex of course.” She whisper to me. Oh god I glare at her.

I shake my head. And I flush.

“Okay I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Let’s eat and get back to work.” Aaron nod. And yeah Jane would let this go. For now.

We eat and Aaron talked about something else. And **** I forgot to call Julian. He’s calling me now.

“What is it?” Jane ask me.

“I forgot to call Julian, He must be freaking out right now.”

“I already called him yesterday, I told him you stayed at my place.”

“Thanks by the way.” I snap out of her. I go outside and call Julian back. He must be working now.

He pick up.

“Hey Julian.”

“Hey Chris you didn’t called me this morning.”

“Yes and I’m sorry.” He isn’t mad.

“I was worried. So you’re coming home tonight.”

“Yeah of course.” Why is he saying that?

“You alright?”

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“Okay then I’ll see you at home.”

“Okay.” I hung up.

“So how?” Jane and Aaron finished their lunch and come out.

“Nothing, I think Julian eat something bad.”

“Really?”

“Let’s go guys.” Aaron call us from the front.

We walked back. And I get back to work. So many calls for Elis, but not so important. It can wait until she is back. When the times comes, I take my purse and my phone. I saw that Aaron and Jane haven't finished their work. And looked busy. I waved to them. They waved back to me. I find my car key in my purse. I walk towards parking car. And there it is. I started my car engine. I take my times. I enjoy my driving while I think. What I have to tell Julian.
