Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 - Tables have turned

[JANE]

I groaned as I shifted my position on my bed. I felt a throbbing pain in my head making my brows furrow. It took a while to adjust my sight as I fluttered my eyes open. White and blue ceiling, blue covers, unfamiliar walls and the door! Oh my fucking God! I immediately sat up but that only made my headache worse.

"Oh my God! Ugh! My head hurts!" I groaned and roamed my sight around the room.

"Where the hell am I?" I murmured. I went off the bed and carefully took my things that were thankfully placed on the top of the bedside table. I checked my phone and I saw Reese's 28 missed calls.

"What the hell?!" I dialed her number and silently thinking of going out of the room. I really don't know whose house is this and I don't feel anything weird in my body. I also don't feel like I had sex or something. I was trying to recall everything that happened last night yet my memory is failing me. I heard Reese's voice over the phone, pulling me out of my deep thoughts. I sighed in relief and I briefly halted from coming out of the room, afraid that someone might hear me.

"Oh, thank God! You finally answered! Where are you?! I've been calling you all night! Last time I remember, I left you playing in the slot machine then suddenly you're gone! I was so worried about you!" I heard her worried voice and sniffles. She must be really worried about me, but I can't tell her anything because I really don't know what happened.

"I'm sorry Reese Posie, but I don't even know what happened and now I just woke up in this unfamiliar room and I don't know whose house is this", I told her.

"Why are you whispering?" Reese asked. I cleared my throat and tried to maintain my low voice.

"Because someone might hear me", I said. Then, I heard her gasped.

"Did someone abduct you? Oh my God! I'm going to call the police! What's exactly your location? This is all my fault! I'm really sorry Jane!" She was already crying and panicking and I can only face-palmed myself.

"No. No. No. Reese. I'm fine. All my things are here. I think someone just brought me here but I'm okay. I will find my way out of here. I'll go to your place as soon as I get out of here. I'll let you know. Don't worry, okay?" I turned the knob while I'm still talking to Reese then looked left and right to see if somebody is watching me.

"Okay, I already got out of the room, I just need t- OH MY FUCKING GOD!" I screamed when I saw someone behind me.

"Hey what happened!?" Reese panicked but I was left gawking at the girl who has a blank expression in her face yet she's so fucking attractive. She looks like a barbie but a cool one. I had to look up since she's way taller than me and I met her eyes. She has doe-like eyes and I can stare at her all day long. Her nose is pointed and her lips are plump. I bet they feel soft against mine. Holy shit! What am I thinking? I was pulled out of my trance when I heard my best friend's voice on the phone.

"Hello~"

"I'll call you later", I told her and quickly ended the call.

"H-hi. Uh... were you the one who brought me here?" I nervously asked. I noticed that I haven't wore my heels and I was walking backwards because right now, she's walking towards me.

"Yes, because you're wasted last night", she smirked. I noticed her lips stretching into a small yet dangerous smile, making me gulp. Why is this gorgeous human looks so intimidating. I never felt intimidated before.

"W-wait. Did something… h-happened?" I gasped when I felt the wall behind me

"Do you want to? Because last night you were so eager to get me", she said confidently while squinting her eyes.

"Excuse me? What?" I snapped. I'm taking back what I said. She seems so arrogant, and I don't know what the hell she's talking about.

"It's our deal, right? You won the game and I am yours", her smirk never left her face. Her hands leaned on the wall, trapping me in between her arms. I felt so confused, and I felt a pain in my head again. God! The thing that people should avoid is irritating me in the morning while I'm having a terrible headache.

I closed my eyes before I spoke, "You know what, Miss? I don't know what you're talking about and I don't know what happened last night. Thank you for letting me stay here", I pushed her away but she's really strong. She leaned closer to me which made me panic a bit.

"Great! After you humiliated me last night? You're just going to forget everything?", She gave out a sarcastic laugh but she eventually shook my whole being with her piercing gaze, which is by the way, so attractive. But that's not the point. I silently cursed at myself for not remembering what happened.

"I -I really can't remember anything", I gulped when I felt her breath tickling my face. How can someone have a minty breath in the morning? Weren't they supposed to have bad breath? I've been trying to find something that could turn me off of her. But shit, it's not working!

"You can't get away for humiliating me, you tainted my reputation", she spoke.

What? Tainted? Reputation? God! This is killing me! I couldn't remember anything! HELP!

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything!" I nervously shouted but she put her index finger against my lips to shut me up. I sucked in some air through my nose, feeling suffocated yet I felt weird that I'm liking our proximity.

Fuck! Jane! I wanted to roll my eyes on myself. She scoffed and then bit her bottom lip. God! Can I bite those lips instead? What the hell? I was silently scolding myself for having perverted thoughts about her.

"Okay. I knew you wouldn't even remember what happened last night. You looked so wasted. Were you drugged last night?" She asked. I blinked a few times, this time I managed to push her away and she let me.

"What are you talking about?! Drugged? Seriously?" She only raised brows at me and that made me more irritated. How could she judge me just like that?

"You know what? Thank you for letting me stay here, even though I don't know if you did something to me or what—"

"Wow! Really? I'm not going to do anything to you. Please", she shook her head and made a face as if she was disgusted of that idea. I scoffed and went near her then pointed a finger on her chest.

"Look, Miss—perfect-face-yet-so-arrogant", Holy shit! Did I just compliment her like that? She raised her brows at me but I just rolled my eyes.

I mentally face-palmed myself yet continued with my rant, "Let's just end this. I'll pay you whatever liability I have. Let's just forget about this", I opened my purse and took my check and a pen.

"How much damage did I cause you?" I asked without looking at her but paused since I don't know her name. I know I sound arrogant right now, but I don't care. She doesn't deserve any respect or kindness from me with the way she's treating me right now.

"Just put your name on here after. I won't even ask for your name" I said. She had a stoic expression at first before she laughed out loud.

"You really think you can pay everything with your money. That reminds me of last night. You were offering me a million dollar cash if I win", she smiled widely but she looked a little pissed. Then, she started to walk towards me, and once again, I felt nervous.

"I don't need your money, Jane Terranova. I lost in the game last night, so I'm yours but since you can't remember what happened, and you already embarrassed me in front of those people, I'll be asking for some insurance." She said.

"Insurance? What?" I'm still disoriented in what she's saying. God! I really need to get out of here, or else I'll be throwing myself to her like a slut because even if she's arrogant, she looks so fucking hot and yes, I won't deny it. Imagine this hot hooman is mine? But I wouldn't have to imagine because she's really mine. But I'm not into one night stand so I'll just break this deal, and we can go on separate ways.

"If you're mine that means I can tell you whatever I want you to do", I cleared my throat and sucked in some air.

"Let's just forget about this and let's just both go on our ways like this never happened", I gestured my hand to emphasize the "never happened".

"Okay. If that's what you want but as I said I need an insurance", she crossed her arms above her chest. Damn, is there any angle that she never looks hot? Oh shit! I'm getting insane.

"What kind of insurance?" I furrowed my brows not getting what she's talking about.

"You humiliated me big time! So I want you to be my slave for a week", she smirked and my eyes widened at what she said.

"What the fuck! Are you crazy! That's a no!" I walked past her, pushing her on the side. I don't need to listen to her because, in the first place, I won the bet so technically, I can do whatever I want.

"Then I might tell your dad where you really went last night", hearing what she said made me quickly turn around.

"Your old man was calling you last night non-stop and I saved your ass. Oh, he's actually mad but I told him I am one of your potential investors and you left your phone where we met last night", She said with a smug smile on her face. How the fuck she gets the upper hand in just a snap? Great. Just great.

"So, can I have my insurance? Oh, by the way, I'm Khali Luciano", she grinned widely.

Can my life be more complicated than it is now?
