CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR
CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR
**BRIANNA**
I peeled my eyes open when I suddenly felt the bright rays of sunshine on my face. The first thing my eyes came in contact with was Adrian who had a small smile on his face.
“Good morning, Sunshine!” He greeted cheerily.
“Good morning.” I replied out, my voice sounding like a frog’s that I almost couldn’t recognize it.
“What time is it?” I asked, attempting to get into a sitting position but I quickly decided against it when a strong wave of headache hit me.
I groaned loudly.
“You probably shouldn’t do that. You’re hungover.” Adrian said, coming to sit beside me with a bottle of water and aspirin in hand.
“Ugh! How much did I drink last night?” I asked, moaning in pain.
“Around five shot glasses, I guess you’re a lightweight because I wasn’t even affected by the drink.” He said with a teasing smile.
“Geez! How did I drink that much?” I exclaimed and took the bottle of water and aspirin from him when he offered them to me.
I took the aspirin and gulped down the whole bottle of water after.
“You don’t remember? I challenged you to a drink competition and you failed, obviously.” He said.
“Oh wow. I don’t remember.” I grumbled.
At that moment, everything that happened last night came running through my head like I was watching a movie.
I remembered Adrian challenged me to a drinking competition, when I went to the dance floor to dance after I got drunk, how a guy was grinding against my backside while I was dancing. I also remembered how Adrian punched him and the way he dragged me out of the club. I recalled how we almost had sex when we got here and how he stopped when I was about to unzip his pants.
My face turned red when I remembered that part and on instinct, I covered my face with the duvet.
“What’s wrong?” Adrian asked in concern.
“Nothing!” I grumbled a loud reply.
“Oh, you remember.” He said lowly in realization. He sounded nervous and embarrassed at the same time.
“Yeah, I remember.” I mumbled a reply.
“I’m sorry for trying to have sex with you when you weren’t in your right state of mind, I’m very sorry.” He apologized. I slowly took the duvet off my face and looked into his eyes.
“Hey… You don’t need to apologize. I mean, even in my drunk state, I want you to have sex with me. We both wanted it but you didn’t want to do it when I was drunk. I understand you.” I responded. Even I didn’t understand what just came out of my mouth. Oh well.
“Wait what? You want to have sex with me?” He asked in disbelief.
“Yeah… We both can’t deny that there’s been this sexual attraction between us. And we’ve been kissing and stuff, I don’t see anything wrong in us having sex.” I said with a careless shrug when in fact, my insides were a mess of jumbled emotions.
“Wow really? Who would have thought that you were attracted to me in a sexual way?” He looked surprised yet again.
“What? Is it bad?” I said in an almost haughty manner.
“No, it’s not bad. But I thought you hated my guts.” He stated.
“I did hate your guts. But that was when you were still a narcissistic asshole. You’ve changed now, and I like this new Adrian.” I said with a small smile.
“Wow, I’m speechless right now.” He said with wide eyes.
“Don’t be.” I smiled at him.
Suddenly feeling bold, without knowing where the confidence came from, I got out of bed without bothering to use the duvet to cover my naked self.
The sunlight shone on my naked body and Adrian openly stared at me, taking in every inch of me. Instead of feeling self conscious, I felt confident.
“You can close your mouth now. We don’t want flies in your mouth.” I said with a smug smirk and he slowly closed his mouth.
“You’re so fucking gorgeous.” He breathed.
“Yeah, I know.” I said with a dramatic hair flip.
“Smug witch!” He scoffed and I smiled brightly at him.
“You like me like that.” I grinned and walked towards the bathroom to take a bath since I looked like shit.
I felt Adrian’s eyes burning holes in my body throughout my short walk to the bathroom.
“Have your eyes turned to lasers, Adrian?” I asked him teasingly.
“I guess. Burning holes in your body, I see.” He said with a chuckle and I laughed.
“What are the plans for today?” I asked some seconds later.
“Since we’re done with the investors, we’ll have fun for the next three to four days, then we’re going home on the seventh day.” He explained.
“Okay… So what are we doing today?” I asked from the bathroom.
“Well, I thought we could go to Museo Nacional del Prado, the main Spanish art museum here in Madrid.” He uttered.
“Hmm, that would be cool.” I responded.
“Yeah, so when you’re done taking your bath, get dressed in some casual clothes and meet me downstairs. Oh, and we’ll be having breakfast in a restaurant.” He said.
“Alrighty, I’ll be down soon.” I replied in a loud voice.
I heard him leave my room some seconds later.
After some minutes, I was out of the bathroom. It took me a while to take my bath because I also washed my hair.
I wrapped a towel around myself and sat at the vanity. I dried my hair with the hairdryer. After that, I curled the tips and applied a simple makeup. Then I got dressed in a white tank top and blue jeans and blue denim jacket. I completed my dressing with a pair of white sneakers.
I mey Adrian sitting on the couch. He was busy with his phone. I looked at his outfit and saw that he was also wearing the exact same outfit that I wore, but his was with a black t-shirt. He even had a blue jeans and blue denim jacket on, also a pair of white sneakers too.
I quirked an eyebrow at him.
“Did you peep while I was dressing up?” I asked teasingly.
“No, I didn’t. Perhaps, did you peep while I was dressing?” He asked back in a joking tone.
“I did not!” I exclaimed with a laugh.
“Guess we have the same thoughts then. Great minds think alike.” He said with a chuckle.
“Yeah yeah.” I giggled.
We looked like a real couple right now. But I didn’t even know what we were. The sexual tension and stuff is there but we’re not dating. Not like I want the both of us to date.
“So, you ready to go?” He asked, breaking into my train of thoughts.
“Yeah, I am.” I responded.
He nodded and checked something on his phone.
“Let’s go. The Uber I ordered for is here already.” He said and stood up from where he was sitting on.
I looked at him in surprise when he mentioned an Uber.
“Uber? We’re not taking the car?” I asked.
“Yeah, I want to feel a little more human today.” He replied.
“Wow, that’s new.” I bobbed my head.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I know.” He paused and chuckled. “Let’s go before the Uber driver cancels our ride because we didn’t come out on time.”
“Yeah, okay.”
He held my hand and we walked out of the house together, on our way to a restaurant to have breakfast.
