Jade's P . O . V
Last night was wild!The wildest I've experienced in a long while and although this perfectly suits Valerie's idea of a perfect get away, when I woke up to the voice of the man in my room and the activities from last night replayed through my memory, a strong Cringy feeling encompassed.Not only did I feel embarrassed by spending the night with a complete stranger and giving every inch of my body to him willingly, for some reasons I felt somewhat guilty.It hasn't even been two minutes since Rowan and I came to an end and I already did this but then again, I remember what led to the breakup and I didn't feel so guilty anymore.Hell, I didn't even feel guilty at all anymore.I felt more annoyed than guilty but I didn't let my disturbing thoughts get me oblivious of the fact that the man present before me had his heated gaze fixed on me the entire time I peeled my eyes opened to the awkwardness of his still being here.“What are you- why are- What are you still doing here?” I demanded in stutters as I heard my own voice sound like nothing but a tiny squeak and I blame it all on the torture from having to leave my eyes fixed on his toned abs and biceps that were on display as he was still shirtless and the rays of the sun that seeped into the room from the window on one side rested on his body, giving him this this divine look that got me and my now squeezing walls thirsty.It definitely wasn't the weather but it felt like a whole thousand degrees in here.In that one second while I awaited his response and tried so hard to avoid his gaze, my mind was on a marathon.The scenes I was painting in my head from last night came to an abrupt halt when he opened his mouth and spilled out a response that didn't only take me by surprise but in a way annoyed me for some reasons.“What did you just say?” I questioned.Hoping he didn't really say what I think I heard him and say and also giving him a chance to change his statement if at all he did say what I think I heard him say.“I said, Be my girlfriend. I want you to be My Girlfriend” he repeated the exact same words and I swallowed hard at the Infuriating nerve of this guy.And I want you to leave. NOW!” I barked out and held out my index finger pointing towards the door signalling him to get the hell out and I needed him out as quickly as possible.Last night shouldn't have happened but it did and I didn't regret it but he's starting to make me to.“There's no need to be so hasty about this. We should sit and talk like adults” he arguedOh, yeah??? The discussion I'm willing to have right now is one with the security so they could come drag his silly ass the hell out of my room.“You want me as your girlfriend?” I questioned“Yes. That's what I said” He replied firmly and the fact that he was being so serious about this was even more surprising.“Oh yeah?? What is my name? Where am I from?” I questioned and when he couldn't respond, I chuckled bitterly to myself.I couldn't help the sour feeling I was beginning to feel in my chest. He knew nothing about me and yet he suddenly wants me as his girlfriend and I couldn't help but think it's only just all about last night.It may not have been right butI felt..... Used.Used like exactly how Rowan Used me all these years and now this Jerk thinks he'll get a chance to do the same.Never.“I would get to know about all of that later. Right now, I just need you to be my girlfriend and I could even pay you for it if you'd want that.” He replied and that was when the sting in my throat really intensified.“Just what exactly do you take me for??? A slut you could just shove Money down her throat at your own free will???” I barked out in annoyance.“Hey! It's really not that deep” He replied in his defense and I scoffed loudly.What isn't that deep? The fact that he sees me as a tool to bring him sexual satisfaction or that he just branded me a slut by his rather callous words???Seriously why am I even still talking to this guy??With my hands holding firmly on the sheets I wrapped my butt naked body in, I got myself busy picking up his belongings from the pile on the floor then forced them into his possession when I slammed his pants and shirt hard against his still bare chest.“You're seriously chasing me out?” He questioned next.“That's exactly what I'm doing” I replied just in case he can't already reason that much for himself.“Leave now or I'm gonna call security” I added when he still hadn't moved an inch in the very next second like I wanted him to have.He still wasn't acting as fast as I wanted and that prompted me to grab him by the elbow and pull him along all the way across the room till he was out my door where I wanted him to be and without a single word more nor a glance at him, I slammed my door shut In his face then released a significant part of my annoyance through a very deep breath I drew in as I ran my fingers through his hair but stopped immediately when my mind took me back to when it was his fingers going through them at some point when he rammed hard into me with my eyes staring right into his mysterious pair of grey eyes.I could still feel his tongue and fingers all over my body and that urged me crave a bath suddenly.I needed to get myself cleansed from his every touch I could feel from my shoulders down to my toes he trained slow irregular lines on.Hissing loudly in annoyance and frustration, I abandoned the sheets that wrapped my body then soaked myself into the tub and although the bubbles felt relaxing on my skin, they reminded me of how his lips felt against my skin and the warm temperature of the water I could very well feel between my still clenching walls reminded me of how warm his mouth felt against my most womanly area.It got frustrating.The more I tried to avoid thinking about last night, the more I found every single thing causing a reminder of scenes from my toe curling experience of last night.Out of my ever increasing by the minute frustration, I stepped out of the tub and watched as the water alongside the bubbles drained when I intentionally pulled the plug and I opted for a cold shower instead.That was enough to knock him out of my senses for the time being because by the time I got out the shower, all I cared about was finding warmth from any where that definitely isn't beneath his hard rock-like body.I didn't wanna risk running into him somewhere at the resort today so I made a solid decision to remain in my room the entire day and when I got bored after breakfast, I decided to face time Valerie since she hasn't already.“Hey Bestie!” she cheered when her face came up and I made a face at her before smiling and wriggling my fingers at her like I normally did.“Hey weasel” came my response and she chuckled briefly while i peered closely into my phone's screen.“Are those carrots?” I questioned carelessly when I realized she was busy slicing vegetables into a bowl she before her on the table where she stood her phone.“Yeah. I'm helping Mason's Mom with breakfast” she explained and I just nodded in understanding.“Hey.. Forget about me. It's been just one night and Girl, You are glowing!” she remarked with her entire focus now fully on me and no longer the vegetables and I felt my cheeks turn a deep shade of red from what felt like embarrassment to me.I couldn't help but think whatever glow she mentioned could have something to do with the stranger from last night.Speaking of stranger from last night, my brows creased in annoyance from our this morning's episode and I adjusted myself in an upright position ready to vent out to her like I usually do about anything at all.“So, I met this guy” I explained and being someone who loved stories as this, her eyes lit up immediately and she outrightly abandoned her knife then pulled closer the chair she sat on so she could focus.“Ouu... Tell me about it. Who is he? And what happened? ” she questioned as expected.And since I also had no idea about who he is, I settled to reply the next question.“We kinda..... We- I don't- last night-” I stuttered as it felt so hard explaining so I made it known with gestures I made with my hands and her eyes widened followed by a muffled scream.I didn't know if it was from excitement or from shock, I couldn't really tell but that wasn't even the part I wanted to vent out about.“Girl you are so....... Damn” she finally used words in response and from her cheery voice, I could now tell she was more excited than shocked but I still didn't know where to place myself on that.“Tell me, is he cute? how was it?” she questioned excitedly.“How was What?” A familiar voice questioned and disrupted the semi-detailed explanation I was about giving her about my experience up until this morning.In no time, Mason appeared in view from my screen but had his back to me as he hovered around her with her face he suddenly cupped in his arms while I laid with a raised brow watching the two love birds until I thought it weird to lay in bed and watch my best friend and her boyfriend make out.“P3rverts!” I muttered to myself before hitting the end button and burying my face deep into my pillow but regretted it all too soon as my nose immediately picked up the same scent my lungs got filled with last night.At this point, I could literally just scream!Adrian's POVAfter the embarrassing moment I experienced a little while ago, I was sure I would not be letting myself think about her anymore. Even though I happened to have had the best night of my life with this strange woman, being thrown out like some street rat was the height of it.Anyways I brushed the thought off my head as I walked into my suite. Jay had already made himself comfortable in it as he had ordered himself a feast for breakfast.He was munching on his omelette when I walked in on him and immediately his eyes fell on me, he took a quick sip of his cup of tea and swallowed hard."Hey man, where the heck have you been? You went AWOL on me last night and you barely said anything over the phone when I called."I flashed him a cold stare. The wound from this morning was not completely healed but it doesn't sting as much as before.I noticed his unbothered look. His entire being was centred on his breakfast. He would usually notice the littlest things about me, down to a
Jade's P O VStaying indoor all day had half the effect I expected it to have on me. I was bored to death. I love the feeling that comes with being wrapped up in my sheets and the idea of just lazing about but I was starting to get tired of it now.The sun had set and it sure was a gorgeous sight to behold from the balcony in my room.I was suddenly starting to rethink the decision of staying indoors and attending the party hosted by the resort.I had received an invite in the morning hours from the sweet lady who offered room service. According to her, every resident was invited as it was to thank us for choosing to stay at their resort and all that.Of course I had declined but now that I think of it, it's not so bad an idea.Hastily I search through my wardrobe for a nice outfit. There were a lot of options as I had packed a whole lot for the trip.You know the dilemma a lady often goes through when it comes to deciding what to or not to take on a trip?Yeah! I too had my fair sha
Adrian's POVI hadn't seen anyone look as amazing as she did in her purple outfit. The color had never looked better on anyone else either.Her transulent skin glowed under the skin of her dress and her hair pulled up in a ruffled ponytail gave her facial features a whole new look.I stood afar off, watching her sway her hips gloriously from side to side as she walked towards a table, her bare back begging to be touched. Damn! How could someone look so effortlessly beautiful the way she does.The strands of hair that played gayly on her face and the way she peeled them off behind her ears, her crimson red lips that gave a pop of colour to her skin tone, all fascinated me so much, I could feel my mouth water."Hello, Adrian. Are you with me?" I heard the lady with me ask.She wasn't my date or anything of that sort. In her words, 'I had seen you walk in and felt it would be nice to get to know you better.'And of course, being the gentleman that I was, I couldn't turn down such a pre
Jade's POVI took one last look at the resort I now stood in front of. My bags were all packed and I was ready to say goodbye to a place that has given me memories and an ample amount of time to get over the pain I had had to go through.I wasn't exactly completely healed but I wasn't far from it either.I exhaled and turned to the car I had hired to give me a ride to the airport. The driver was done loading my luggage in the trunk, he was now seated in the car, waiting for me to get in, which I did and off we were to the airport.It was a two hour drive from the resort down to the airport. I was lucky to have arrived just in time for my flight. With only thirty minutes left to catch up with the entire screening exercise.I hurried in to the hall after clearing my fare with the driver. I was quick to check in and sat in the waiting area, waiting for my flight's departure to be announced.I tapped softly on my bag that was resting on my thighs as my eyes trailed behind everyone else wh
Adrian's POVI had hoped my flight back home would be a quick one as I had other engagements waiting for me by the time I return but the universe had other plans for me that day.I arrived at the airport early for my flight, only to be told that it had been delayed due to a terrible weather and all that nonsense. My plans were ruined and as angry as I was about the sudden turn of events, there was nothing much I could do about it.I immediately booked a motel since all the hotels were far out in town and I couldn't afford going back to the resort due to the distance.Thankfully, I was lucky enough to get the last available room. Plus the distance between the motel and the airport was incredibly convenient for me.I didn't hesitate to head down to it and get settled in. I was about to order for my breakfast when I received a phone call that had me bolting out of the room immediately.Jay had been involved in a car accident on his way back from running an errand I had sent him on and wa
Jade's POV.It's difficult to describe how low I felt when I was turned down by the reception. It was hard to accept that I had no other option than to return to him and plead for his help.My pride was hurt!Being indebted to him was the last thing I wanted but here I am at a loss of what next to do. As much as I hated it, I knew I had to swallow my ego and go back to him, with hopes that he would not turn me down based on how terribly I had treated him in the past.I lazily dragged my feet back up to where his room was. I hated being in such situation. I made sure to groan, whine, grumble, and all that just to ease myself of all my frustration and groom myself muster up the courage to do what needed to do.I knocked on the door and though I wasn't expecting a response, I was more than hopeful when he came to get it.Hopeful that I would be given a lisenteing ear at the very least.Damn, he looked breath taking in the pair of jumper he had on. I could see the size of his groin and I
Adrian's POV.My plan had backfired at me. What in heaven's name made me think asking her to pay for the room's entire cost would be the perfect payback.How is it that she knows just what exactly needed to be done to make me look and feel like the smaller person? I shut my eyes quietly there on the floor where I laid and blamed myself over and over again for not thinking twice about my actions.There in my conflicted thoughts, I fell into a deep sleep.I woke up the next morning with my body aching all over. I could never get used to sleeping on the floor as I had done last night and now, my body suffered the consequences of it.I sat up and tried to stretch my muscles on the floor where I sat still. My eyes darted to the bed and I realised she was not there anymore. As I wondered where she could have gone, I suddenly remembered that I had to get Jay from the hospital since he would be discharged this morning.I managed to pull my aching body up from the floor and moved to the ward
Chapter thirteenJade's POVWhat a relief to be back home. I inhaled the breath of fresh air that played around my nostrils as I stood outside the airport waiting for a taxi. I flagged down the first one I saw and got in. I said my address to him and the ride began.I never knew that I would miss being back here when I first left but now that I was back, I realised just how much I had actually missed home.When the thought of Mr stranger crossed my mind, I was beyond glad that I wouldn't have to see him again or be anywhere near him at that.Still on the ride, it dawned on me that I hadn't informed Valerie about my arrival. I got my phone out from my handbag and put a call through to her.The phone rang both times that I had called but there was no response. I thought of sending her a text but immediately dismissed the idea. She would surely call when she gets to see the missed calls I had given her.I relaxed into my seat at the back and fed my eyes with the views from he side of th
