Remembering what happened last night, Selena buried her face on the pillow.
Embarrassment rushed in her mind, making her face reddened.
"Why did I say that?" She cried.
As she asked her self why she did that, the figure of Alejandro's ex-fiancée popped in her mind.
Her hands traveled to her hair and pulled them harshly, she sat up, unsure of what to do or how to act in front of Alejandro.
Alejandro was not in the room after he rejected her last night, she fell asleep, drunk and embarrassed.
Then she heard footsteps, her eyes dilated and immediately covered her whole body with the blanket.
"Mommy, how do I escape this!" she mumbled as she covered her face with a blanket, body curled like a baby.
She heard the door opening and the footsteps going closer to the bed. She gulped hard, it's cold in the room yet sweat formed on her forehead in big pieces.
She shut her eyes; she could almost hear her own heart pounding so hard.
The bed moved; she knows its Alejandro which makes her breathing hard.
"I know you are awake Selena," it was Alejandro's voice, speaking softly.
Slowly, Selena slides the blanket down to her neck, she could feel her cheeks burning, while her eyes looked up at the ceiling, avoiding his gaze.
"I -," she gulped hard as she paused. She remembered that she had her underwear before she fell asleep but her body was completely naked when she woke up.
"I need to remove your underwear. But don't worry, I didn't look I swear but yesterday incident taught me how to pray," hearing Alejandro blurting those words with relief as he said those words have made Selena laugh.
Her shoulder shook, her cheeks might be burning but, she had never seen a man a blushing cheek like Alejandro.
"It's fine. You're a doctor, you have probably seen all types of body," saying that, her hand pulled the blanket and wrapped it around her body.
She was about to leave when Alejandro pulled her back to the bed, she turned to look at him, perplexity was on her face.
"What is it?"
"Even though I have seen a lot of bodies, I have never looked at them the way I look at yours," his voice was low, drowning her senses away.
"You said you didn't look at my body," Her mood lightened up while a taunting smile set on her lips.
But unlike Selena, Alejandro's expression went flat.
"You got naked in front of me Selena. I have seen your body," she rose an eyebrow upon hearing those words.
She felt her cheeks flushing again, she pulled her wrist from his grip and went to the bathroom.
Being alone in the room, Alejandro took in a deep sigh, his eyes lowered to his pants where his arousal was printed.
(How can she easily say those words?) He let out a light chuckle. Selena is too innocent in his eyes.
She blushed every time he touches her. His smile widened as he thought of how aggressive she was last night and that thought in mind has made his body warm.
His nose wrinkled as he got up to leave the room. He needed to do something to remove Selena's naked body in his mind, or else, he might slam the bathroom door open and do something he will later regret.
-
Selena doesn't know how the day passed, the pain stabbing her head has ruined the last two days.
She was never good at drinking, especially with wine.
Laying on the blanket by the lake, Selena enjoyed the cold wind on her skin.
She looked up at the sky, she didn't have a hard time looking at it as her eyes were covered with sunglasses.
She watched the clouds in different shape peacefully passed by. The wind howled in her ears, exceeding the sounds of the birds around.
She sighed, taking as much cold air as she can. Under her glasses, she shut her eyes, when it opened, Alejandro's face welcomed her.
She bit her lips to prevent herself from smiling. She felt her head lifted seeing his face and the smile on his lips.
Alejandro sat with his legs stretched on the blanket. She didn't bother to get up but, Alejandro patted his lap and said in between his smile.
"The ground is hard. You can put your head on my legs."
She masked her shy with a smile. Alejandro assisted her head to lay on his leg and sensing the hardness of his legs has caused her blush.
She cleared her throat; butterflies swarmed in her stomach as she took in a deep breath. She had never felt so serene than now.
She closed her eyes, trying to remove Alejandro's face in her mind but he stayed there like it's been tattooed.
An indefinable feeling arose in her chest as she felt his knuckles on her cheek, gently stroking it.
"Does your head hurt?" he asked and his deep-toned voice had made her skin shivered with emotion.
"A little," she faintly said, trying to stop herself from screaming with ecstasy.
Then, his warm knuckles migrated to her forehead, this time, his fingertips were on each side of her forehead, massaging it gently.
She gulped hard; he was indeed a doctor. Just a touch of him has made her feel better.
She opened her eyes only to see him genuinely staring at her glasses, she doesn't know if he could see her eyes but, his eyes were shining as he stayed staring at her.
"Alejandro," she called his name.
"Yes," he calmly replied.
"I want to be your girlfriend," she purses her lips together. Waiting for him to respond but, he seemed to have frozen.
He was not moving and just looked at her with his eyes bulging with surprise.
"Really?" he said with doubt after a long moment of silence.
Selena nodded and sat up; her body was supported with her arm as her face moved closer to him.
Seeing the uncertainty on Alejandro's face, Selena moved her face closer to him.
The corner of her lips lifted in a smirk, as their distance shortened, Alejandro's cheeks rose a little as he smiled.
And before their lips touched, his lips parted, "Very well, then I guess, we are official," he snickered and sealed their lips.
