Chapter 4

Esme's...

There was still no response from him and I stood up to go, the minute clarity I had was fading away and my senses were going back to being hazy.

" Please help me," he spoke for the first time and I stumbled back.

" Hey can you hear me, do you have a card," I asked but didn't get an answer.

His face from up close was too handsome to ignore,  so I checked into his pockets, seeing for any leads of who he might be when I remembered that I'd booked a room.

" What could go wrong in having a handsome drunk stranger stay in the same room with another drunkard overnight." I thought to myself and held him by the hand in the hope of lifting him up from the ground.

But my feet were all wobble and I was depleted of whatever strength I had, with no other choice, I held his two hands above his head and embarrassingly dragged him to the elevator.

" Hey, you stupid man, do you know who I am, let me go" I heard a woman scream at a staff who stood in the middle of the route, blocking her from moving away.

I felt a pull with the man I was dragging and fell back on top of him again, the fuzzy feeling almost reaching its peak.

I stood up, and took him by the hand again, as I continued to drag him into the elevator.

The soft ding of the door closing brought instant relief and I sat on the ground, with the sprawled Body of the man beside me.

" Hey, are you still not awake, I mean, ar, are you dead, I asked, my thoughts rambling with the fear of a man dying in my hands in such and hotel like this.

There was no way out, and even if the cameras could prove my innocence, the lawyer wouldn't and a life sentence was the surest judgment for me.

I held my fingers over his nose, feeling his pulse and checking his breath to confirm he was still alive.

Either way, Raina and Titus will get to be together for life, I laughed, laughed hard, so much that it turned to crying and then sobbing.

The elevator stopped and I cleaned my face, to begin my arduous task of helping a man I knew nothing about.

" Maybe he was also cheated on, but why, I asked myself, dropping his arms to the ground roughly as I stood akimbo, wondering what fool of a woman would cheat on a man like him, or maybe he was gay," I thought again, laughing hard at my stupid sense of reasoning.

I stood in front of my room, wondering who'd build a  room on the lowest level on the highest floor. I shrugged my shoulders anyway and proceeded to enter the room, dragging him by his legs this time around, I'd totally forgotten about the stoppage at the entrance until his head ran into it, and his eyes flung open.

" Gbam," the sound of my hands dropping his legs to the ground responded and he scrunched his face in response.

" Thank God you're not dead," I said kneeling down to meet his gaze, I didn't know who you were so I brought you into my room, I'll take the bed while you take the sofa,  sorry I'd have let you take the bed but I paid a wholesome for just that," I said getting no response from him.

" Hey, I literally just helped your stupid ass from falling face flat in the restroom toilet bowl and all I get is the silent treatment," I yelled not thinking about whatever I was doing.

" Whatever," I said to him and held my hand behind his head before dragging his whole body into the room.

" Find your way out, you this unresponsive piece of handsome shit, I said the last two words with a drawl.

Amused at how I changed my initial words into something else.

I walked wobbly into the bathroom, undressing with each step I took, forgetting that there was a stranger in the room.

I walked into the bathroom, removed my panties, and headed straight for the shower, I heard a knock on the door.

I peeped open the door, looking outside the door to see that it was the man in the room.

" What do you want," I asked.

He said nothing and just stared at my face.

" Hey if you aren't going to say anything, I'd just leave you to it," I said about to close the door when he held it back from closing.

He held my head in his hands, pressing his lips against mine, opening the door large enough for him to walk through it.

I clenched my thighs together from the heat that flushed through my stomach.

" Mmm," I mumbled, trying to squeeze myself out of his arms, but he held on tighter.  And I felt my walls crumbling down, his kisses deepened and I returned them, wrapping my legs around his waist, the shower water ran all over my naked body and his clothes clung tightly to his body.

My finger roamed his shirt unbuttoning his shirt buttons leaving me his broad chest. I'd briefly imagined how they'd look under his black shirt. A sheepish smile played across my face, as my hands roamed on his chest down to his trousers.

" I've to apologize beforehand because this night is going to be a long one," he said in between breaths unbuckling his belt, while I pulled his boxers briefs down.

I knew I had to stop now, I was about to have my first sex with a stranger I knew nothing about other than the color of his eyes and the shape of his nose, but I couldn't, I was too overwhelmed too, and there was a high possibility I'd be regretting this tomorrow, but what was alcohol without its consequences.
