Was She Dreaming?

"Faster, baby… I bet Ariana can't give it to you the way that I will… tell me you love me, Rex" The voice said loudly as her moans filled Ariana's ear.

It must be a prank, she thought. Rex would never cheat on her after all the great sex that she always gives to him. It must be one hell of a prank, Ariana thought.

But the voice that followed the moans brought her to reality.

"She can't twist and rock me the way you do. You know you are my only wrecking doll that wrecks my brains out!"

Was it a dream or reality?

" I wonder what you are still doing with that slut!"

" Like you said, bae. She is just a slut who is not slutty enough for me! I like them bitchy!"

There was no way she would mistake Rex's voice. After all, they had been together for six years! Did he just refer to her as a slut?

Ariana immediately cut the call so she wouldn't hear anything more. Sitting down in her bed, her mind was still going back to the sounds on the phone. But that was certainly Rex's voice!

Just as she was still battling with her emotions, she heard her phone beep a message tone.

"You don't believe it, right? Come to Hotel De L'amour, Room 122. Come see him banging me just like that day a year ago!"

A year ago? Was it the same Vera that he swore tempted him? Were they still together the past year? Without wasting time, she picked up her purse and ran out of the apartment.

Hailing a cab, she hopped in telling him the direction to the hotel. It wasn't far from her apartment. It made her think that it really might be a prank but damn it! She can't withstand her anger!

In less than three minutes, the cab stopped at the entrance of the hotel and Ariana paid the cab driver before heading straight to the hotel room. She just followed the passage that led to different rooms. Observing the numbers hastily, she couldn't find the room number texted to her.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, a room service walked past but stopped when she saw Ariana.

"Can I help you with anything, Miss?" The room service asked.

"Nevermind. Or wait, is there any room with the number 122?" Ariana asked in response.

"Yes, Miss. But Room 122 is at the opposite building" The room service said before leaving.

Ariana swallowed hard because it looked like there was actually a room like that. She turned around and went to the next building and true to the words of the room service, there was indeed room 122.

But Ariana was confused on what to do. Should she bang on the door or what? Swallowing hard again, Ariana walked to the door and was about to knock on it when it flung open by itself… or someone.

"Sweetheart, I had a good time and I wish we could… " Rex was talking when he looked forward and saw Ariana staring at him with glistening eyes filled with tears.

"How could you, Rex!" Ariana shouted, her chest heaving in annoyance. She looked at the girl who was glued to Rex and it was Vera.

Biting hard on her lips, she walked up to Rex and gave him a resounding slap that sent his head spinning to the opposite side. Her face was filled with murderous aura!

How dare he!

Rex did not expect Ariana to slap him. He looked at her, his hands on his cheek. His eyes were red from anger instead of remorse.

"You bitch! How dare you slap him? Is he… "

" Shut up, Vera!" Rex shouted at Vera. Although he was angry that Ariana slapped him, he knew he deserved it.

" Is she the one you want, Rex? If she is the one you want, why did you come back to me? Why did you deceive me?" Ariana screamed, her tears pouring down.

"Ariana, it's not what you think. We… We didn't do anything. I… we were just discussing about… about a new business…"

" Business? A hotel business that involves getting in bed with her?" Ariana asked.

" Why would you say that, sweetheart? I haven't cheated on you!" Rex continued denying.

" What do you mean by that? What about the call I received? Should I play the recording?" Ariana asked, looking at his face.

Rex stole an angry look at Vera. What was wrong with this girl? What the hell did she do? He looked up trying to find an excuse when Ariana placed the voice recording from the call she received with his number.

This must have been done by Vera!

He searched his brain on what to do but there was no solution. If he admitted that he cheated on her with Vera, that would be the end of the relationship. He was jobless and even his house rent was paid by Ariana. He just wanted to keep being with her till he regained his status.

"Ariana, it…it was just a prank to bring you here to the hotel because I have something to tell you" Rex said, taking a deep breath. He just has to do it because that's the only way to keep her by his side.

"Are you trying to come up with an excuse?" Ariana said, clenching her fist tightly.

Before she knew what was going on, Rex was already on his knees. He dipped his hands in his pocket, trying to fetch something out.

"What are you trying to do, Rex?" Ariana stuttered.

Ariana did not expect this turn of event. Was he…going to propose to her? Was that why he played such a prank on her so she would come to the hotel?

"Ariana, I am sorry for all that I put you through. I am sorry that I have to play such a prank on you but I just want to make my proposal spectacular. I want it to be memorable" Rex said, still kneeling.

Then he brought out a pink decorated box. He opened it and brought out a silver ring." I know this isn't a diamond ring but I want you to know that I will cherish you till my last breath. Will you marry me, Ariana?"

Ariana felt her throat tightened at the turn of events. She came to catch her cheating boyfriend but ended up being proposed to by him? Earlier today she had been afraid to tell him about the pregnancy but now, it looks like she was worried for nothing.

" Ariana, will you marry me?" Rex repeated.

He stole a look at Vera while waiting for the answer from Ariana. He knew Vera was angry but he can't lose Ariana yet. He will explain to her later.

Ariana's face broke into a wide smile. Her heart was racing and she couldn't contain her joy. Walking slowly towards him, she felt her life was fulfilled.

"Rex, we will marry you," Ariana responded, happily.

Rex frowned at her answer." We?"

"Yes, Rex… I am pregnant! We are going to have a baby!" Ariana said, embracing Rex tightly.

What she failed to notice was the face of the two people with her. A face of jealousy and anger.

If only she had been observant! She wouldn't have fallen into his trap. He wouldn't have hurt her so badly!
