ALINA'S POV :

I left his room after wearing his goddamn pants. What the hell is going on with me? I never felt this way with anyone. If any man even tries to come near me I would kick them without thinking twice.

But with him, ahhhh I don't even understand why I'm feeling better around him. Why the hell my lips quivered when he said he will kiss me hard? Damn, If I don't drink coffee right now then I don't know what would happen to my freaking brain with all these new feelings.

When I entered the kitchen Omar was already there preparing breakfast and it smelled so nice. I walked towards him to see what he was making and by the smell of it, he was making pancakes, a bagel sandwich, eggs and juice and my guess is right.

"It smells great." I said standing beside him to take a close look, "and looks great too."

"Thank you," he said while arranging the pancakes on a plate and looking at me. "Oh, You already woke up, I thought you'll sleep all day based on your drunken state last night." He said and laughed like he remembered something.

"What's so funny?" I asked him.

"Just remembered you singing all night yesterday. You know, You girls made it impossible for us to carry you to your rooms. I don't know how the guys made it to the penthouse." He said while laughing and arranged another plate for me.

"Did I really sing and make fun of myself?" I asked him while taking the plate he handed to me. I guess coffee can wait until I eat this yummy breakfast.

We sat at the table and he started saying while I started to eat, "Well I don't know how to answer that question. I just heard you sing but the boys said you girls danced on the bar counter, screaming and shouting." My spoon fell on the table and my face went colourless after hearing that. "Hey, what happened? Are you alright?" he asked in concern.

"Who told you?"

"About what?"

"Who else knows about last night?" I asked him.

"Well, all the boys know except me and Vlad because we didn't come to the club yesterday." He said.

"F*ck my life," I muttered and bent down my head covering my face with my hands. And that's when I noticed the long sleeves and realised that I was still in his shirt. 'F*ck, what if he notices?'

"Isn't that Shane's shirt?" That's it I'm leaving this place right away. I stood up from the chair and turned abruptly without looking and as a result, I bumped into someone. Me and my bumping into people all the time, what a stroke of luck!

"Hey, are you okay?", Omar asked me coming close to my side. I looked up to see the person who I dashed to just now. Again a new face, literally how many people are living here?

"Sorry, Mr?"

"Greyson." That new face replied.

Oh, Tessa's crush. "Sorry Greyson, I didn't see you there and thanks for the Breakfast Omar but I really have to go now," I said and left the place hurriedly. "Damn, that was so close." I sighed in relief when I left their eyesight.

"What was so close?" A voice startled me and I looked in that person's direction, finally my best friend.

"JESSICA, f*cking finally, we need to leave right now." I clutched her hand and dragged her with me.

"But why? Why are you in a hurry and whose shirt is this? It looks so big like a man's shirt?" My question bank shot all her questions at once. But one question made me stop in my tracks.

"Sh*t, I need to change my dress first. I can't go home like this."

"But, Whose clothes are these?" She asked me again.

"I'll tell you la-.." I heard footsteps, looks like someone is coming and I don't want to face anyone right now wearing his clothes. They'll think something happened between us. "There is no time to tell you right now." I pulled my best friend to a room where no one could see and hear us talking.

"Hey... My head hurts, don't drag me like that." She complained while clutching her head.

"Sorry, Jess..."

"It's okay. But why are we hiding like this? Did you do something again?" She asked me with a raised brow.

I looked at my best friend in disbelief, she always thinks that I will do something which brings trouble. "I did nothing and we are not hiding," I said rolling my eyes.

"Oh really? Then, can you explain what we are doing now?" She places her hands on her hips and glowers at me.

I frowned. "I just don't want to face anyone, okay."

"And why is that?" she crossed her arms and asked me.

"Can't you see my dress, Jess?" I asked her while raising an eyebrow.

"Of course, I can and I have been asking you the same question. But what does your dress have anything to do with our hidi-... Wait a minute." She checked me from top to bottom again and when she realized I was wearing his shirt, she gasped loudly. "Isn't that Shane's shirt?" yeah everyone knows that it's his shirt because this freaking shirt has his initials specially designed for him.

Crossing my arms over my chest, "So what if it's his shirt, why is your face lightening like you'll explode any minute now?"

"Does this mean you did it? Omg... Finally, you did it... Yayy... Come on girl, spill the beans. Don't let your best friend wait..." she asked me that one question I so want to ignore all day. She is jumping like crazy and I stayed there glaring at her to stop this nonsense. "Why are you looking at me like that? Stop staring and tell me the details."

She waited there like a kid waiting for candies with her puppy eyes, batting her lashes just so I will tell her what she wants. But I just glared at her seriously. She frowned when I didn't tell her anything, "Don't tell me nothing happened."

"Well, that's what happened." She frowned again, it'll definitely give her wrinkles when she gets old.

"Not even a kiss?" She asked me with one last hope and I shook my head saying No which made her irritated. "Then why the hell are you wearing his shirt and pants? And why are you hiding?"

"That's because I stayed in his room last night and that idiot doesn't bother to get any dress for me, instead he made me wear his freaking shirt that too with these damn initials like he wanted to tell everyone and for your second question, I don't want to be asked those silly questions just like you asked me now," I said as a matter of fact.

"You stayed in his room the whole night?"

"Yes."

"And he changed your dress?"

"That's what it looks like..."

"But nothing happened?"

"Nothing."

"How did you become my friend?" She groaned and went to sit on the bed.

"Oh, really that question again? Okay leave about me for a minute and tell me where you stayed last night?" she was surprised by my sudden question and her cheeks turned bright pink. Omg, she is blushing which means, "You were in Nate's room right?" Her eyes glowed when I said his name and looked aside to hide her blush. "So, you really stayed in his room...aha..." I teased her and nudged her shoulder and she laughed.

But all of a sudden her face became dull, "What happened Jess? Is everything okay?" I asked her but she didn't answer. "Is it because of Nate?"

She nodded. "Did he take advantage of you last night?" I almost lost my control, "I will kill him."

"Chill, nothing happened." She said raising from the bed.

"Then why did you become dull all of a sudden?"

"I don't know why but he is trying to avoid me. Whenever I approached him, he ignored me and left the place like he is busy or keeping himself busy." She explained what happened this morning.

"Did something happen between you guys?" I asked her.

"That's the thing, I don't remember anything but I can assure you nothing happened between us so please remove that killer look on your face like you are going to kill him." She laughed while saying that and I joined her.

"Maybe he is really busy. Just ask him the next time you see him. And don't leave him unless he answers you." I clutched her shoulders and turned her to face me, "This is not the Jess I know. You are Jessica Amber Westwood, the most stubborn girl ever, don't forget that." Finally, she laughed.

"You are saying it like I'm a freaking psycho." She said and laughed.

"Well, that you are," I said with a shrug and laughed along with her.

"Thank you, Lina, you are the best." She smiled.

"Come on Jess, don't ever thank me like that. Also, take things slow, I know that you like him but first get to know him better." I suggested.

"Okay, I'll talk to him and slow? Seriously nothing happened and I don't remember anything at all. He only said that I just slept in his arms when he was carrying me to the penthouse." Her face lit up again when she mentioned him. "And started avoiding me again."

"Yes, even, I don't remember anything, that's how drunk we were." We laughed at our recklessness.

"Wait..." she stopped laughing and looked at me, "you said you don't remember anything right?"

I nodded, "yes."

"Then how did you know nothing happened between you? And after all, he changed your dress too..." she asked me.

"Because he told me nothing happened." I don't understand why she is asking again.

"And you believe him?"

"Yes, why not?" I said and she suddenly let out an exasperated gasp which startled me. "What the hell, Jess?"

"This is the first time you ever trusted a guy and the fact that you don't remember anything that happened between you, you still trusted him." She said all the things and made me realise one thing, "You had just overcome your fear of trusting men, Alina. That's a big step." She hugged me tightly and squeezed me with her hug.

Yes, that's true. This is the first time that I trusted a man without even knowing him. And the fact that I'm comfortable enough when he gets close to me makes my heart flutter. Who is this man? He just came into my life and did nothing but irritate me yet I trust him and I don't know why?

After that, I asked Jessica to get a dress for me. After she got the dresses we changed and left the place thinking about him.
