One night stand with Mr. Brandon のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

ELENA.The hallways outside the hotel room was quiet.There were red soft carpets beneath my feet and a dim lightning.I felt something strange, like I didn’t fit in anywhere, but that wouldn’t stop me from finding out the truth.I take a walk slowly to the receptionist, she looks up at me as I approached the desk.“Good morning ma’am. How may I assist you?” her smiles were polite.I smile back at her before dropping the card slowly on her desk. “Good morning…I...I found myself in one of the rooms upstairs” I hesitate for a second before asking. “I’m looking for the man who ordered room 12 last night, Mr. Brandon.”The moment I mentioned the name, her smile fades quickly and her expressions are suddenly unreadable, she looked frightened.Then she smiles at me again but this time I could tell she was faking it. “I’m very sorry ma’am. We do not disclose information about our guest.”My chest tightens. “No you’ve got it all wrong. I am not asking for their personal details” I say carefu

ELENA.I didn’t sleep properly.Every time I close my eyes. I see him.Only him. I see those grey eyes and how they stared at me.I keep on hearing his voice and what he said to me. “Stay away from me El”Why did he call me that night? how did he get my number?These thoughts are driving me crazy.I have work and I need to focus.…..The hospital felt the same as always. The smell of drugs, attending to patient and the clean atmosphere.I feel safe as a nurse. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse since I was a kid.And somehow that feeling should calm me, but at the moment I wasn’t feeling calm.I moved through my duties, adjusting drips, attending to patient and checking charts like I always do.But my mind was somewhere else.It kept drifting back to the hotel, the engagement party and him.“Elena.” Violet says, dragging me out of my thoughts.I stare at her, realizing I’ve been staring at the chart for over three minutes.“Um…yes?”“You’ve been staring at that for over three minutes n

ELENA.The thought of that photo didn’t leave my head.Did Brandon take them just to blackmail me?The morning air was supposed to cool me off but it didn’t.I rode my bike towards the hospital, hoping I could finally have a good day after my unsuccessful encounter with Mr. Brandon.However, my peace was shattered the moment I stopped at the curb in front of the hospital.A car rushed by and splashed a wall of water on me. My mouth opened in shock. “Hey! What the hell-”I yelled as I watched the car screech to a halt. Then I looked closer… and of course it was Rita’s car.She got out of the car with her friend, and they were both laughing.They stood back with their arms crossed, a smug expression appeared on Rita’s face.“This isn’t funny, Rita!” I yelled out.Rita stared at me for a second, before bursting into a loud laugh. “That’s what you deserve, you low life bitch.” She scoffed. “Just take a look at you, all wet. I know you’re too embarrassed to walk into the hospital.”Her f

ELENA.The moment he told me to leave I felt something unhinged in me. Like if I didn’t leave this instant something bad would happen.“I’m not going to leave until you answer my questions.” I say quickly.He stares at me, more dangerously now. His gaze feels like it could tear through my skin,“I just want-““Stop giving yourself ideas” he interrupts.My breathe catches as I swallow the lump in my throat.“I already told you,” he continues, his voice is sharper now and cold. “I don’t do virgins. Nothing happened between us. And nothing ever will”My stomach drops. The air gets heavy. I couldn’t think straight anymore, like he had stolen all that was left inside me.“What if I was not?” He raises his left eyebrow. “What?”“What if I was not a virgin? Would you have touched me that night?” the words come out of my mouth sharply.I couldn’t take the emotional pain he was putting me through.For a moment something in his eyes changes but then they change to the normal dark, cold, dangero
