Intoxicated romance - Season 1 - Episode 4

☆☆☆

Toni: its been more than a week since
the incident and I still cant think about anything else. Only one
night’s event has ruined me. My family,my career and my
impending marriage. How would i
explain to kacy about how i lost my virginity.
I have been avoiding him and i haven’t retrieved my lost sim-card.

That morning, i had sneaked into the house without my parent’s
notice and gone to work early the
next day. When i got back, i only met
my younger brother at home. Thankfully, my parents have gone
on a two weeks prayer
programme in owerri. They would be arriving
tomorrow but i still haven’t found
a good cover story though. My
parents won’t be able to handle
the truth of my circumstance. My mom
would probably have a heart
attack. I didn’t see Cynthia for two days
and when i asked about her from
other colleagues, i was told that she was
ill. I went to visit her yesterday and i found out that she was
drugged, just like me. Who could
have done this to us?. Was it just a
prank?.I sigh and rest my head on
the glass door of the hotel’s pool
house. I notice someone in the
pool. Its too early in the morning for
someone to be swimming and the
pool is supposed to be locked by this
time. I press my head to the glass and peer inside. I remain like this
and admire the gait and agility of the swimmer. He really is good. My
mind takes me to the time i loved swimming. Well, not anymore.

Ever since my brother almost
drowned, i have been scared of swimming.

The swimmer starts coming out of
the pool and my eyes trace his body
from his feet upwards to his
muscled legs and thigh. He must work out,
i think out loud. My eyes continue their journey and i realise that he
is just wearing a tiny swim short. I stare, as if hypnotized and lick
my dry lips. I continue my perusal of his body till my eyes reach his
face. I jerk backwards in shock
and my heels slide on the tiled floor
thereby causing me to lose my balance. I yelp loudly which
draws his attention to me.I crouch
on the floor and crawl away quickly. No
no no! Its him! The guy i molested/raped. He didn’t seem to
protest that night though. It isn’t rape when there is no protest
right?. By the way, What kind of
guy would just sleep with a woman he
doesn’t know? If he had turned
me away, maybe i wouldn’t be in the
hot mess that i am right now. This
is also his fault. I hope he doesn’t
recognise me. This is all so embarrassing. I thought he would
have lodged out of the hotel by
now. I haven’t seen him since that
morning when i sneaked out of
his bed. “antonia, you have a visitor
waiting for you at the reception
hall” mercy says and this snaps me out
of my thoughts. I thank her and
move downstairs to meet my visitor. I
have no idea who it could be. As
soon as i get there i see kacy. His back is
to me and i admire his lovely backside unconsciously. I never
want to hurt him but right now its inevitable. He has been very good
and patient with me. I cant
imagine my future without him in it. I cant
lie to him, that would be the ultimate betrayal. But how do i tell
him?. “toni” he says my name and i cant
hold back my tears. I burst out in tears and kacy rushes to me. “oh my God toni, what’s wrong?. I
have been trying to contact you
for more than a week now. I was so
worried. Please tell me you are
okay?” his concern for me fuels my tears.
He stands there awkwardly, while
i cry like a child in the middle of the
reception hall as people watch us. “what are you doing to the
lady?”a voice booms from behind
me and suddenly, i see a guy seizing kacy
by his collar. Kacy starts to protest but he isn’t given any
chance as the guy’s fist connects
with his stunning face. “no!” i scream and run to kacy
who is now on the floor. “are you okay?” i ask him as i
bend to help him up. He shrugs
me off and shoots me an angry look. “ofcourse, i am not okay. Didn’t
you see this lunatic punch me in
the face?. I think the mother f----r
broke my nose” he grumbles and
hold his nose. “that should teach you to never
make a lady cry again” the guy
says. “what is your probl–” i turn to
shout at him but my words hang
as i see who it is. I turn away
immediately. Why do i keep
seeing him today?. Its the guy at the pool. He
is clothed now though. “my problem? I was just trying to
help you” he says. I cant see his face, but i know he looks puzzled. “umm..you shouldnt have done
that, i didn’t need your um help”i stammer still not looking at him. “you didn’t?” i shake my head “but i thought-“he walks to my
front and i turn the other way. “could you atleast look at me
while you talk to me?”he says and
moves in from of me again and i turn the
other way. I see kacy stand up
from the ground as he watches us.The
guy keeps trying to look at my
face and i keep turning the other way. “umm sorry for the disturbance
and thanks for trying to help but
um, i have to um, leave now”i stammer
again and try to flee but he holds
my shoulder and turns me to face
him. Our eyes meet and i see the recognition and shock in his eyes
before i flee.
