LILIYA

When I woke up much later, Dice was gone. I was so sore, I doubted if I could actually get up on my feet.

It was only when my stomach growled in protest that I sat up and began to get off the bed. Every movement hurt like hell. I knew I should not have said yes to him—every sensible part of me had kicked against it—but how could I say no to him when he asked me like that?

I finally summoned the courage to get off the bed completely, wincing as I limped towards the telephone to request for... lunch. I'd woken up by 1pm.

I wanted to go to my room after I'd dropped the telephone, since I'd asked Ceci to take the food there, but I somehow ended up in Dice's bathroom.

I wondered if he'd ever shower together with me. Probably never. Dice never did intimate things like this, but a girl could dream...

I set up the Jacuzzi hot tub and climbed in, laying back and closing my eyes. I stayed like that for a few minutes, just because it was super relaxing and I truly needed the relaxation.
