novelxo Chapter 5
Veronica woke up to the sound of her phone's alarm.
She was lying beside Rawlf, who snaked around her naked body. His left arm tightly wrapped around her waist while his hand managed to rest on her left mound while his left leg was right on top of hers. Their position is too intimate. Like a lover enjoying a sweet cuddle after a passionate night.
She felt him stirred due to her small movements of getting her phone from the bedside table. Four-thirty, Friday morning and she had set her alarm around this time during weekdays due to her early class. That day, to her luck was the last day of her last semester in college and she decided not to attend since there's no more formal classes but just meetings for the graduating students like her. 'What a wild and carefree night indeed', Veronica thought. 'And what an amazing way to lose one's virginity,' she added.
Veronica was not a liberated type but also not the very conservative one. Probably before, she hasn't felt the same attraction with the oppposite sex the same way she did with Rawlf. 'So I guess this is it.' Veronica smiled sadly as she gently and slowly removed herself from Rawlf's tight embrace.
Veronica may be new and in fact, a first-timer with actual sexual intercourse but that doesn't mean she's naïve and delusional when it comes to the real world. Despite her last night's oath to have Rawlf, her sober self now beg to differ.
Rawlf and her were leagues apart. Yes, she's a politician's daughter and her family was affluent but that doesn't mean that she's already outstanding enough to be the kind of woman to be beside the powerful and magnificent Rawlf Sy. That's the sad part of being a realist, you are way too honest with yourself.
Rawlf and her might have been connected sexually but that's all there is to that. She's not stupid not to know and realize that she's not the only woman whom he is sexually related with. He is Rawlf Sy for heaven's sake and what happened between them for him was just pure fucking.
Casual sex, nada mas, nada menos.
Successfully untangled herself, Veronica carefully went out of the bed but check the man to make sure he wasn't disturbing. When she saw Rawlf's hand moves like searching for something in the bed, she took the pillow she slept on and put it near him. He then grabbed to embrace it tightly and Veronica wasn't able to see the contented expression that appeared on Rawlf's sleeping face.
Veronica sneakily got dressed and once confirmed that all her things were with her, she gently opened and closed the suite's door. She was frowning then and there everytime when her careless movement caused her lower body to sore. It was best that she always had her mask and glasses on her bag so that she was able to escape without catching anyone's unwanted attention. She then grabbed a cab waiting just outside the hotel building.
Veronica woke up at the sound coming from her phone. Seven missed calls and twenty-nine messages from her parents and friends. It's already two in the afternoon.
When she arrived at the university dormitory earlier and since she opted not to attend the last day of college, she slept back and due to her body's soreness, had slept way too long.
She decided to call her mother, Celerina, first, to inform her that because she was tired from last night's partying, she wasn't able to go back home. She promised that she'll go back tomorrow morning. On the other hand, instead of replying to her friends one by one, she opened an instant messaging service app and replied to them directly on their group chat addressing the issue to them as to whether she arrived home safely last night.
When she was resolute to indulge herself with Rawlf, she made sure to inform her friends that she's going ahead, reasoning that she was not feeling well. Each one of them insisted on accompanying her first to a cab but she assured them that there's already a car waiting for her and she knows the driver. Seeing her firm assurance, they can only ask her to message them after she arrives home safely. But of course, after tasting Rawlf's kisses, the promise was long forgotten at the back of her mind.
Feeling her hunger, she decided to take a bath first before heading out to eat her very late lunch.
Veronica took her sweet time in the bathtub. She decided to indulge in a warm bath to calm her whole body. She was listening to tracks by Broods and her bluetooth speaker was so loud that she wasn't able to sense that an intruder managed to get inside her room and with knitted brows casually seated, cross legged on the mini living room's plush couch.
Veronica was in her wine red lace underwear when she decided to go out of her room and get herself a cold water. It was a very hot summer day and with her taking a warm bath added to her thirst. She richly passed by her mini living room, directly went to the fridge and just as she was about to open her bedroom's door, she wildly turned her head back to the coach and gasped. "What...?!" She was speechless.
"What what?" the man seemed to teasing her, only that with a serious expression.
Veronica took time to recover from the shock caused by her unexpected visitor. "Why are you here President Sy?" Were the words that instantly left her mouth as she stood rooted on the tiled floor. What could possibly be the reason for his unexpected visit? Did he lose any valuable things from his room last night and she was his primary suspect? Or is he here to tell her not to divulge anything that happened between them in the public? Which of course, Veronica never planned on doing...... Or did he, like in the novel, fell inlove with her, well, strangely enough,
right at first sex?
Veronica shook her head lightly at the last thought. Couldn't she be more shameless than that?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
