Battles Of The Players: Hate Me To Love Me

Chapter 1

Narat’s POV

I opened my eyes slowly and found myself in a stranger’s bed.

Where am I?

Don’t tell me I did it again?

When will I get cured from sleep walking??

I noticed my white shirt and trousers were all over the floor, just my boxers were on but what made it weird was the fact that I was alone on the bed.

I felt pain all over my body as though I did some hard work all night.

As usual I don’t remember what happened but if I am lucky something might trigger the memory.

I have never in my life gone this far before. Naked in a stranger's bed.

I need to quickly get out of here before the owner comes in and read a different meaning to things.

I knew sleeping at this hotel was a terrible idea but I won the lottery and luxury life comes once in a while so I had to grab it. Besides, I always wanted to spend the night in a luxurious hotel like this.

I wore my clothes and left the room having no idea who owns it because I can’t just walk to the reception and start asking weird questions like who was in room 306 three rooms before mine.

I boarded a taxi and it was really painful having my seat.

“Guess your partner didn’t go easy on you last night.” The taxi driver teased me.

“I don’t have a partner and please just drive.” I stopped him from further questions. 

Did I fall down with my ass? Why am I feeling these pains?

I need to remember everything about last night but I have no idea what can trigger me to get the memory right away.

I tried really hard to crack my brain around it but not even a glimpse.

A notification appeared on my phone, I opened it with excitement thinking I got accepted at the company I applied for only to get a rejection.

Working at Teer’s bar part time is not enough for me to pay up my sister’s bill at the hospital. My rent is long over due and I’m currently hiding from the landlord and the bills keep piling up.

I tried getting a loan at the bank but it didn’t work out. I was lucky enough to get some from some loan shark to make the first payment for my sister and I was supposed to pay two months ago but I have been dodging them but when caught I beg for more time. My life is nothing but a mess.

I need a good paying job but how do I get it when I keep getting rejected all the time because I have no experience.

“We are here!” The taxi driver got my attention and I paid him immediately before getting off.

I observed the environment to make sure the landlord was not in sight before proceeding to my condo when Anna, my best friend hugged me from behind.

“Jesus!! Anna, you scared me.”

“That’s why I’m Anna, why do you look so tired? Didn’t you get enough sleep at the hotel, my cutie looking Narat?” She played with my cheek as always.

Well Anna is my childhood friend… she is not just my best friend but my family. She always says my cuteness is like that of a fair snow queen. Well it’s not my fault I look feminine but I’m still a guy.

If I’m not around to look after my sister at the hospital she helps me out and she knows about my sleepwalking crises.

“I did it again.” I said opening the door.

“Is that why you are covered up with love bites? Come on be sincere with me, who was she? She must be dominant in the bedroom to have given you all these marks, no wonder you look really tired….. How many rounds did you go?” She let out an annoying smile that pissed me off.

“Stop it already.. You know I don’t have a girlfriend besides they all say I’m boring and broke.”

“Hmmmmm! That’s true but you are not boring, let’s just say you haven’t met the right one so why are you covered with love bites?”

“Are you still teasing me? Please stop already, I’m really tired, I need to get pain relief and get some rest.” I thought she was just teasing until I saw the look on her face.

I rushed to the mirror and took off my shirt, she was right…. I was covered with love bites and had a little wound on my lips…

“How did I end up getting this?” I got frightened….where did all these come from?

Did I really have sex with someone?

“Well that should be my question dumb head… who is she? Did you sleep walk to a horny aggressive lady in bed?”

“ I really can’t remember what happened last night, I only remembered going to bed and waking up in a stranger’s bed seeing my clothes all over the ground.”

“This is getting serious ...So who was the stranger? Is she hot?”

“I have no clue.”

“What do you mean you have no clue? Did you fuck a ghost?”

“I left the room without finding out because I was all alone.”

I suddenly got a new notification that I got scheduled for an interview since I passed the first stage, that alone lightened my mood.

“What is it?”

“I think I’m going to secure a job this time!”

“Yes!!! We got a job.” She grabbed me as though she was the man and spun me around. How on earth is she always this strong?

That night remained a mystery and she told me the only way out is for me to remember because we don’t have enough money to bribe the worker at the hotel to give us tips on who lodged at that very room that night.

I arrived at Emperor Limited when I got a text from Anna wishing me luck.

I took a deep breath before heading to the waiting room.

I can do this!! I kept telling myself.

At first I thought I already lost my chance in getting a well paid job because of the rejection but who would have thought the popular and top company in ranking would accept me. 

I guess I’m in luck.

The door opened and the lady who attended to me earlier appeared at my front already trembling, “Change of plan!”

Don’t tell me I already got rejected before the commencement of my interview?

“It’s fine if I get rejected before my interview.”

“If that’s the case it’s even better but the CEO himself is around and he wants to conduct the interview himself .”

“Okay it’s something good right?”

“No it’s not…. If I were you I would turn back …… everyone is scared of him.”

Why would they be scared of their CEO?

She told me no one has been with their CEO for up to a week as his secretary, meaning I should be ready to lose the job. 

I don’t mind giving it a short…I’m already here so let’s finish it.

I noticed all the workers' eyes on me, they made me feel like I was walking to my grave.

The door opened and the cologne in the air was familiar….

My eyes landed on the CEO and boom it triggered my memory.

Oh no!!!!!

The memory hit me like a tidal wave…

No!!!!!!

I had sex with a man!!!

I slept with the man that is going to be my CEO!!!

How did I let

this happen???

What am I supposed to do now?

“Leave us…I will take it from here!”
