Saving her

ZENA POV'S

I opened my eyes, my head aching terrible and the sun happened to be directly on my face. I shielded my eyes by covering my eyes with my arms.

'Ouch!! Darn it!' I cursed tiredly, over and over in my head, as I blinked rapidly, trying to relieve myself.

As I slowly adjusted to the light. I realized I was staring at a ceiling that wasn't one I recognized. It was totally different from the one I had at home, neither was it the same as the one I normally sleep at work during my shifts.

“Where am I?” The thought immediately came to my mind, and my brows furrowed, trying to recall the last thing that happened the previous night. I sat up tiredly, feeling sore in between my thighs and wondering why, when I realized I wasn't the only one in this strange bed, in this strange room.

And as a matter of fact, I was naked! I gulped.

My eyes widened as I spotted him, a muscular image laying beside me. I pushed myself up in a hurry, my heart pounding loudly in my chest.

It didn't take me long to realize, just looking at the state of both our naked, sweaty bodies… what had happened.

I had just slept with a complete stranger. It fucking had sex with a stranger!

It's not like I'm a virgin or anything, but how the hell did I end up there?!?

Slowly, it began to dawn on me that I had actually run into this room last night while I was being chased by those men.

I sat there confused as I stared at the man, I didn't know what to do at the moment as I was utterly confused.

I didn't know how long I sat staring at him, but I noticed how he stirred a bit, and he adjusted on the bed. Was he going to wake up now? Would he see me like this?!

I couldn't help it, I panicked as I stared around, not knowing what to do. 

I have to leave before he wakes up. He should not see me here, or I was dead! How the hell would I explain what actually happened? I was too tired to even think. And to wrap it up, it wasn't his fault but mine that I had rushed into his room last night. 

I slowly got out of bed and began to dress up as quickly as I could. Picking up my shoes, and putting them on, I walked to the door, just as I was about to open it only to hear, 

“Where are you going, Alicia?” His hoarse manly voice said, and I cursed under my breath. 

'Alicia again? Who the hell is Alicia?' I wondered. 

Just as if my body were working on its own accord, I didn't know what I was doing, but I turned to face him.

The moment he saw me, he blinked his eyes rapidly as though he were waving the effect of sleep on his eyes, or he couldn't see clearly.

“Who are you?” He asked, confused. But that was the question I wanted to ask him as well. 

'Who am I? Really?' I mentally scoffed as I stared at him in disbelief. He stared at me waiting for an answer from me, but I was mute wondering how to explain myself to him.

“How did you get in here?” He asked, and I felt like slapping the hell outta him when I recalled he was the one who started this whole shit last night, and my dizzy self couldn't resist him. Plus, he has the charm. 

'Shut up Zena' I scolded myself

He didn't wait for me to respond to his questions, as he began to murmur to himself confusedly, 

“I thought Alicia came last night, how come I'm seeing you here?” I knew all this was a misunderstanding and wanted to explain it to him, but he spoke again.

“Did you see any woman leaving this room? And how come you're here?” He asked again, making me roll my eyes at him. His numerous questions were beginning to piss me off. 

I just needed to straighten things up before it gets out of hand but first, 

“Who's Alicia?” I found myself asking, which made me sound like a jealous lover, but I didn't give a damn, I needed to clear my head before it ended up exploding.

“Alicia is my fiancé,” He said, and I immediately felt a huge lump in my throat. 

“Fian… fiancé?” I asked only to see him nod.

'Oh God, How the hell did he mistake me for her?' I mentally asked myself, raising my brows up as a signal for him to go on.

A few minutes later, we were both seated on the bed quietly, as though we didn't have anything else to do with ourselves. I thought about everything he'd just told me. Thankfully, he was now fully dressed, so I didn't have to feel uncomfortable.

I let out a frustrated sigh after listening to his own explanation. Darn it! He was actually a drunk lover waiting for his fiancé to arrive for them to have a good time together, but she didn't show up, and I unknowingly rushed in, giving myself a free meal for him.

Things only got worst!

 

He was also quiet after I told him my side of the story, but I didn't tell him about what I overheard the scary man say. I didn't know who he was and if he would hand me over to the men.

“I'm sorry,” We both apologized simultaneously, making me let out a small laugh. Actually, none of it was our fault, it just so happened that we were both not in the right state of mind when it happened.

I was about to say something to him when his phone rang. He gave me a weird look, making me raise my brow, but he finally picked,

“Hi, baby!"

'Oh,' I see why he gave me that look now. 

“Sorry I couldn't make it, I got stuck in traffic, so I had to go back home. I tried calling your number, but it was unreachable,” I heard a high-pitched voice saying over the phone, and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me it was his fiancé.

The strange man beside me sighed pathetically knowing her excuses did not mean anything, for now, it was all useless. Literally, she's the cause of all this, someone needs to take a fall for this, and it's definitely her.

“It's fine, I'll talk to you later,” The man said, and he ended the call.

I just had to put myself together, the did has already been down, no need to wallow over the past.

“I'll leave now, I pray we never see each other again because it's kind of embarrassing,” I said sincerely, and I stood up to leave, but we suddenly heard a loud bang on the door and I flinched.

“We're looking for a thief, she stole something from the boss, and we were asked to search all over the rooms,” These were the words of those men and I panicked, my heart was already beating faster than usual.

I stared at the strange man, pleading with my eyes, and the next thing he did was shocking. He walked over to me and kissed me.
