Chapter 6

Marco dialed his number using my mobile phone and put it on a speaker. After three rings, “Hello Alle?” he answered. I thought he wouldn't and that surprised me.

“Hi, sorry to call you at this time,” Marco spoke seriously.

“Who are you? Why Alle’s phone with you?” Chadrick reacted immediately. Maybe he wondered why it was a man's voice.

"I’m Marco the cousin of Alle’s best friend Bella," Marco introduced himself right away.

"I called because I’m having a hard time with these two drunken women. I don’t know who to call. I saw your only name in her emergency calls," he started to explain.

"Sorry to bother you but will you able to fetch her in the Club Serene 16th floor Agua Hotel? I’m afraid I can’t handle them both," he added. Though he sounded serious, he was smiling and winking at me in front of him. Crazy!

“I’ll be there in 10 minutes. Please keep them safe,” Chadrick replied instantly. Marco dropped the call and beamed like an idiot while Bella shook his head in disbelief.

“Okay, Chadrick is on his way to fetch you and drop you home," he started to plot the plan. I was listening attentively because I didn't want to miss even a single piece of information. "Let him bring you into your room, tuck you in bed, and seduce him," my eyes widened and my lips parted. I wasn't sure if I heard his last word correctly. 

"Se... seduce?" I stuttered. "Yes, you heard me right," he confirmed. "Try to kiss him. He is sober so if it happens that he responds to you, it means one thing, he too has feelings for you. Believe me!" he explained with confidence.

“What? Are you sure Marco?" Bella spoke loudly. “Yes, I'm sure” Marco insisted. "That’s too much!” Bella protested. Marco cluck his tongue and pouted his lips.

“What if something really happens between them? What if accidentally they couldn’t stop?" the worried printed on Bella's face.

“You’re so defiant, Bella," Marco hissed. "Let’s ask Alle if she agrees,” Marco turned to me. The two of them was looking at me intensely and I needed to response right away.

“Yes, if it'll lead to know his feelings for me," I replied desperately. I find his plan reasonable and it will be a great help. Chadrick is a dream come true so better to do moves that will lead to spending the rest of my life with him.

My phone vibrated and it was Chadrick calling. Marco answered right away and informed him about our couch number.

"He's coming in," he alerted us. We looked at him and nodded. 

“Hi, I’m Chadrick. Thanks for the call.” And he offered a handshake. “It’s alright, thanks for coming too," Marco accepted his hand.

"Sorry to bother you at this time,” Marco apologized. “Are you his brother?” he asked and acted like he didn't know anything. “No, I’m a family friend,” Chad responded.

“Oh I see, how lucky Alle to have a very much concerned family friend," Marco looked at my way who was acting drunk on the couch. 

"I should send her home," Chadrick replied and Marco nodded right away. When Chadrick came near me I saw Marco smirked devilishly. Insane!

Chadrick carried me bridal style to the car while Marco brought Bella back home too. I could tell that Bella was bad at acting because she looked fine and more just flabbergasted.

Chad put me safely in the shotgun seat and buckled my seatbelt. He was staring at my drunken state and I know he knew why I was like that. I felt like he wanted to kiss and hug me but opted not to. I was messed up and I could tell he's worried about my doings.

When we arrived, Chad parked near the entrance of our house. He woke me up but with my acting state, I couldn't walk on my own. He unbuckled my seatbelt, looked for the house keys in my pouch, and carried me bridal style to my room.

Chad put me on my bed and removed my heels. He went to the bathroom and when he came back he was holding a wet towel. He wiped my face and clean me up. I felt like he really cares for me.

I did my best to pretend drunk and I noticed that he was slowly removing my dress.  Left in my lingerie, I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me intently “Chadrick” I said in a whisper.

Our eyes met and I couldn't help but burst into tears. “Sshhh, it’s alright you’re just drunk," he hushed. "Sleep,” he said as he caressed my skin.

I felt like I was electrified by the way he caressed me. I suddenly reached for his face “Chad, I missed you!” I expressed my feelings. Our faces were inches away from each other and I saw a different look in his eyes. The loneliness, lust, affection, or did I just assume? 

He wiped my tears and stared at me differently. I felt like he's longing for me but he's just suppressing it. It looked like I'm getting him into deep trouble.

Surprisingly, he leaned and kissed me on my lips. Damn,  my first kiss! Shocked was an understatement. I know I'm inexperienced but I just let it. I closed my eyes and devoured those lips of him. He kissed me affectionately like he let out all his suppressed emotions. I opted to remove his shirt and he let me. I loved the feeling as we hugged and kissed each other. Heaven!

I didn't know for how long we were kissing when he pulled out. We sensed we're catching our breaths and I couldn't believe we did it. We looked into each other’s eyes, “this is wrong Alle,” he whispered.  

“Just hug me and let’s stay like this for a few minutes more, please?" I begged with my teary eyes. His eyes softened and I saw him leaning again. I contemplated as we braced each other. He put his head on the nook of my shoulder. I felt his minty breath on my skin and it brought tingles in my system. Maybe he thought I am drunk and won’t remember everything, but he's wrong. I will treasure it for the rest of my life. 

As we stayed in that position, I noticed Chad isn't moving anymore. I assumed he fell asleep. With that, I smiled and peacefully closed my eyes as I embraced the man of my dreams.
