Lily groaned softly as she slowly opened her eyes. She fluttered as she looked around the room where she was. Suddenly she fell silent when she realized she was not in her room.
Lily immediately sat up on the bed. Her eyes widened when she saw she was wearing a white shirt that looked too big on her body. She then peeked into the blanket covering her body.
Lily was surprised when she turned her head and saw shirtless Ryan sleeping in the same bed with her. "What happened last night?" Lily asked in her mind.
"Ouch," Lily muttered under her breath. Her head suddenly felt like it was spinning. Lily winced at the headache she was feeling. "Shit, looks like I drank too much last night."
Lily fell silent again when she heard Ryan moaning softly. She sat and watched Ryan, who still closed his eyes.
Not long after, Ryan slowly opened his eyes. He chuckled when he saw Lily was already sitting on his bed. "How are you?"
Lily responded to Ryan's question with an awkward smile. "I don't remember what happened last night."
Ryan laughed at Lily's answer. "Of course, you don't remember. You drank too much last night."
"By the way, did you change my dress?" Lily asks.
"I can't let you sleep with vomit on your clothes," Ryan replied.
"Oh, Jesus," Lily muttered under her breath. She lowered her head while covering her face with one hand to hold back the shame of having vomited in front of Ryan.
"It's okay, Lily. There's no need to be ashamed. It's a natural thing. I've sent your clothes to the laundry. Maybe after breakfast, the hotel will deliver them here," explained Ryan.
Lily then looked at Ryan, who was still lying on the bed. "I must have troubled you last night."
Ryan smiled and bounced his head. "Nevermind. I enjoyed my time with you."
"Are these your clothes?" Lily asked.
"Do you see anyone else here?" Ryan asked Lily back.
Lily shook her head slowly, smiling awkwardly. She realized her question was a stupid one. But somehow, she kept asking Ryan. "I'll send it to you after I wash it."
"No need. You can keep my clothes. I'll take it myself," said Ryan.
"You don't have to go far just to get a shirt," Lily said.
"That gives me a reason to see you again, and you won't have any reason to avoid me," Ryan chimed in.
Lily clean her throat after hearing Ryan's words. Suddenly her cheeks felt hot. She hoped Ryan didn't notice her blushing cheeks after hearing his words.
Ryan suddenly sat across from Lily. He looked at Lily's face, looking down to hide her blushing cheeks. "What's the matter, Lily?"
Lily immediately shook her head. "Nothing." Somehow she let Ryan caress her face this time. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm touch of Ryan's hand. "If only this is Matthew's hand," Lily said in her heart.
Ryan's hand continued to caress Lily's face while watching Lily's expression gently. Ryan's caress slowly crept up to Lily's nape.
Lily closed her eyes as Ryan's thumb tickled her earlobe. The touch was so gentle that it made Lily involuntarily sigh softly. She lifted her head as Ryan's hand began to pull her closer to him. She could feel Ryan's soft lips against her neck a second later.
"Why does this feel so good?" thought Lily. All the nerves in his body showed she enjoyed Ryan's gentle touch. However, something was bothering her.
Lily enjoyed all of Ryan's touch, but what she imagined was Matthew in front of her. She didn't like the soft touch she felt to stop. Ryan's touch made her feel a little guilty towards Ryan. But she didn't want Ryan to know that what was on her mind was not him.
"You look so beautiful, Lily," Ryan whispered. He kept looking at Lily's face, enjoying every touch he gave.
Lily opened her eyes again after she heard Ryan's words. The distance between her face and Ryan's face was so close that she could feel Ryan's heavy breath.
Lily and Ryan's eyes met. The two looked at each other deeply. However, instead of kissing Lily's lips, Ryan stroked Lily's face with a smile. Lily gasped and looked down shyly again.
"Don't look down. I want to see your beautiful eyes," Ryan said.
Lily slowly straightened her head and looked into Ryan's eyes. She then smiled. "Once again, I apologize for bothering you."
"It's okay," said Ryan. "I'll ask the hotel when they will deliver your clothes."
Lily laughed softly. "You definitely won't ask me to drink again."
"On the opposite," Ryan said quickly. "I'll take you out for a drink again and again. I enjoyed my time with you."
"There must be a lot of women who want to spend time with you," Lily said.
"But I want to spend my time with you," Ryan said.
Lily then removed the blanket covering her legs. "I'd better clean myself up. I feel a bad smell coming out of me." She then got off the bed and walked to the bathroom.
Ryan took a deep breath while watching Lily walking toward the bathroom. He smiled at the white shirt that Lily was wearing.
"Don't think like that, Ryan," Ryan muttered to himself as he recalled the moment he changed Lily's clothes. He then continued his own words. "You have to be able to hold yourself back, even though you want it so badly right now."
----
Meanwhile, Lily sat on the toilet silently in the bathroom, thinking about what she had felt when Ryan touched her. "I shouldn't have done that. I was with Ryan. But my mind was on Matthew."
Lily slapped her forehead. She was thinking of how bad she did to Ryan. Even though Ryan might not have noticed it, Lily felt so bad.
"You can't be like that anymore, Lily," Lily said to herself. She then sighed again softly, patting his forehead. "Stupids."
