Jay did not waste any time. He caught Elsa's hand and pulled her towards his room in the hotel. Everyone in the group was taken by surprise, including Ben.
Ben quickly took charge of the situation, calming everyone down and explaining the misunderstanding. Elsa was equally surprised by the sudden, familiar, handsome man pulling her along. Before she knew it, he had taken her to his room and kissed her passionately.
He released his inner demons. Elsa was initially angry at the sudden attack, but his kiss melted her resistance. It was familiar, reminding her of the stranger who had taken her virginity. She found herself enjoying his kiss, melting into his actions. They spent their passionate time together until the moon rose in the sky.
Jay finally had a good rest, sleeping through the night with Elsa in his arms. He never wanted to sleep alone again.
Elsa stretched her arm to find the handsome man who had slept next to her. She had made another mistake, but this time everything happened so fast. The room was still dark, as if night had come again. She sat on the edge of the bed and walked to the window to see the dark lake and the sunrise trying to break through.
She couldn't believe her way to church yesterday had led to spending the day with a handsome stranger. It was the craziest thing that had ever happened to her. She covered her body with the blanket and opened the window to the small balcony.
Elsa lit a cigarette and inhaled the smoke to calm her mind. She felt someone hug her from behind, and Jay took the cigarette from her hand, taking a puff from the same cigarette.
"What is your name?" Elsa asked, leaning into Jay's sturdy chest.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jay Shin," he answered, inhaling the last puff of the smoke before putting it out.
"My name is Elsa Lim. Nice to meet you," Elsa said, wrapping her naked body with the blanket as the cold air started to make her shiver. Jay noticed her gesture and carried her back inside their room, closing the door.
"I have to go. I have class early in the morning and I don't have my uniform. I'm sorry we met under these circumstances, but you pulled me yesterday. I hope..."
"Don't misunderstand me. I don't make a habit of pulling strangers to make love with me. You are different," Jay said, walking closer to her and starting to pull her in for another kiss.
He couldn't hold himself back and decided to kiss her tempting lips. He surrendered to the temptation and gave her everything.
"I really have to go..." Elsa stopped his passionate kiss and went to collect her clothes. She ran to the bathroom to refresh herself.
"Why didn't you call me?" Jay asked, sitting elegantly on the chair next to the messy bed, watching the beautiful girl walk out of his bathroom.
"I thought it was just a one-night fling. I was drunk, and no hard feelings when accidents happen," Elsa explained.
"Accidents happen! Do you sleep around with many guys?" Jay asked, clearly agitated by her response.
"No, that's not true. You are my first and second. I am not the kind of girl who likes to sleep around. You are so mean," Elsa felt insulted by his accusation.
"Glad to hear that. I have a proposal for you. Would you like to be my girl?" Jay asked, as if striking a business deal, looking sharply at Elsa.
"Are you asking me out or striking a deal with me, sir?" Elsa couldn't believe someone was proposing to her in such an unromantic way. She got really angry and walked out of the room, leaving Jay alone.
Jay was gobsmacked to see her walk away. He couldn't believe his eyes. Many girls would do anything to be with him, yet Elsa was running away.
Elsa walked quickly back to her dorm and arrived at her room. She managed to change into her uniform, which consisted of a skirt, black stockings, a business jacket, and a red scarf. She grabbed her books and hurried to the classroom. She was late for the first period.
She ran into the classroom where Oswaldo had already reserved a spot next to him.
"Where were you? I knocked so many times for our group work," Nini nudged her from behind, her seat right behind Elsa's with Sara.
"I had something to deal with last night and came back pretty late," Elsa tried to explain.
"Don't lie to me. You have bite marks on your neck," Nini whispered in her ear. Elsa quickly pulled her scarf up to cover her neck, her face turning crimson red at her best friend's words.
The class went on as usual. During the break, Elsa joined the boys who were going to smoke. She came down to get coffee as she had missed breakfast that morning.
She went to the coffee shop and got herself a black coffee with a double shot. Elsa felt calm with the smell of freshly brewed coffee.
Back at the hotel, Jay was still processing the events of the morning. He couldn't believe Elsa had walked out on him. It was a new experience for him. Used to women falling at his feet, Jay found Elsa's reaction both intriguing and frustrating.
Ben entered the room, sensing the tension. "Boss, I've finalized the acquisition of the hotel school," he said, handing over the documents.
"Good work, Ben. Make sure everything is set up for our stay here," Jay replied, his mind still on Elsa.
Ben nodded, knowing better than to question his boss's mood. He left Jay to his thoughts, heading out to finalize the remaining details.
Jay couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness. Elsa had ignited something in him that he hadn't felt before. He was determined to see her again and make things right.
Meanwhile, Elsa finished her coffee and returned to her classes. She couldn't stop thinking about Jay. His sudden appearance in her life had turned everything upside down. As she walked back to her dorm after class, she replayed the events in her mind, trying to make sense of her feelings.
