AN UNFORGETTABLE ONE NIGHT STAND

As I sit on the edge of the bed in that luxurious hotel room that night, feeling nervous and regretful, it seems to have settled within me why I was in the hotel room as the time ticks. I felt on edge but could not do anything.

I actually wanted to leave the room and change my mind about my decision, but I hesitated because I know I cannot go back. As it is almost time for the person whom I was waiting for to arrive, I feel really nervous.

"How did I get myself into this mess? I never thought I would stoop so low," my heart keeps beating.

This is something I have never done before in my life. I don't know this mysterious person; I cannot even know his identity or see his face, even though we are going to be intimate.

It was so tough for me to make that decision of having a one-night stand with a total stranger. All my life, I have never even dated anyone, let alone been in a relationship. But now, I am about to have a one-night stand with a total stranger, whose identity, name, and face I will never know.

"What a miserable life," I mutter while sitting on the bed in the room.

I heard footsteps getting closer to the hotel room. I got tensed because I know it must be the person. I close my eyes tight; suddenly, everything goes dark as the light in the room goes out.

Knowing it is dark, I feel more nervous and start to shake. I thought it was the person, but there was no one.

After Thomas told me I can only join his girls, or else I will not get out alive, I decide to talk with him. I know that I cannot risk my life like that, so I talk to Thomas to know how he could help me in other ways or if there is something I could do for him apart from being a call girl.

Thomas looks at me angrily and does not want to have a talk with me.

"Someone of your beauty refuses to use what you have to get what you want?" Thomas tells me, eyeing me badly.

I sigh deeply before I go close to him, begging him to let me go. I promise to do anything if he will let me go.

Then his phone starts to ring. He goes and picks up the call, but I don't know who called him and what they talked about. After Thomas ends the call that evening, he beams with a smile.

"You know you are one lucky girl?" Thomas said, smiling.

"Why do you say that?" I mutter, eager to know what he's happy about.

"I have an alternative for you. You don't have to join my girls if you will do this work," Thomas said, beaming.

Since Thomas was smiling like that, I thought it would be something good for me, but...

"Asahara, you can do this," I tell myself and empty the bottle of wine inside the hotel room nervously into my mouth.

I don't know what came over me, but I think gulping all the wine in that bottle will make me feel confident about tonight and help me get over my fear. After emptying the wine bottle into my mouth, I start feeling this splitting headache. My head hurts so much, and my vision doubles. With everything dark, I couldn't see clearly.

I try to stay awake and alert, but the alcohol seems to have taken over my body.

"Ashara, you cannot just fall asleep," I tap myself to stay awake.

"Even if I'm not allowed to know the identity of the person I'm having a one-night stand with or see his face, I should at least be able to stay awake. After all, it's my first time," I shake my head seriously as the alcohol takes effect on me.

I wanted to at least know the features of the person I'm having a one-night stand with, but since the alcohol is too much for me, I still try to fight the alcohol to stay awake.

As I was still trying to stay awake, the door to the room opens and someone enters. The moment I hear the door open, I get nervous, knowing the person is around. I could feel the cologne on him, like lavender.

Since my vision is blurred and the room is dark, I couldn't see how tall he is very well, but I know he seems tall.

"That cologne, why does it smell familiar?" I think to myself.

The moment the person comes near to the bed where I sit, my body shifts back, trying to keep myself awake. I think the person might also be drunk.

"Good!" I mutter.

"Two drunkards," I think since I'm also drunk.

The person quickly moves closer to me on the bed and seems to be in haste to get intimate with me. He instantly goes for my dress. I get nervous and angry, tightening my hold on my dress as the person does not even try to know who I am or start a conversation before getting intimate.

"What a beast!" My heart pounds as his large hand holds my hand, which tightens its hold on my dress.

I couldn't let go of my hand from my dress because I'm really too nervous, and it seems the drunkenness has already vanished from me. He leans close, and we both fall onto the bed, his large body laying on my body. I feel disgusted that I almost puke, but I hold it in. I know that I cannot go back since I have come this far.

He seems to be tired and just rests on my body. I try to push him away, but he is too heavy.

"I'm so sorry, I'm not a bad person," he whispers into my ear on one side.

"What did he mean by that?" I thought trying to pull him away.

But he suddenly stands up from my body and starts to take off his clothes hastily, as if his body was on fire and it seems he has been drugged.

I am afraid seeing him like that, I push back nervously as I am still lying on the bed, but he grabs me by my two shoulders and starts to pull off my dress more like wanting to tear it. I get so afraid wanting to run out but his hold on me is too tight that I cannot move away from him.

I immediately regret agreeing to have a one-night stand with a stranger. I can feel his body on top of me, which makes me shiver in fear. It is my first night but it is more like torture. That night is not pleasurable, I hope I do not experience such ever in my life.

He continues doing his thing but it is painful because he is rough. I moan crying until it seems all the fire in him has been quenched.

I notice that he stops and seems to have fallen asleep. When I am sure he is asleep, I roll him aside from my body, feeling disgusted.

It is not a night I can forget but I want to forget him. Before, I thought to at least capture his features but with the torture of that night, I do not want to ever know him nor meet him again.

I quickly put my dress back on, my dress now half-torn because of how he pulls off the dress.

I hold onto my half-torn dress tightly while sobbing silently and make my way to the door. I stop wanting to turn back and at least turn the light on to see his face but I cannot bear it because I know that night will taunt me forever.

I quickly open the door and rush out, even though it is night. I run as fast as my legs can carry me. I do not know what I am doing but I think I just want to run away from that night.

The next day, I find myself in Thomas's house in the room he gave me. I seem to not remember what happened after I ran out of the hotel room. I am surprised to see that I am in Thomas's house.

"Hey beauty," Thomas says smiling by my side.

"How did I?" I look to Thomas, confused.

"You had a rough night, so rest in bed for today," Thomas smiles and decides to leave the room when he is sure I am okay.

"Also, I will wire your payment for the night to you. You can do anything with it," Thomas giggles and blows me a kiss before he leaves the room.

I am so confused because the memory of last night seems to have been erased from me.

I later heard that Thomas found me somewhere near the hotel and took me back to the house. I am surprised when Thomas sends me four million dollars just for that night.

Though it was an unforgettable night, the money helped me.

"Ma'am, we are here," Rick's voice brings me back from my thoughts.

I look at the house where I will be staying while in Country F and smirk slightly.

"Now that I am in Country F, this is my payback time," I smile and come out of the car.
