Eula wakes up at almost 6 am in the morning. Her body clock tells her to wake up. She is an active person who usually wakes at 5 am in the morning even when she's sick since her body was trained with that specific function. As she looked at the ceiling it's blurry at first and she got a little bit scared since her vision was perfect and felt the excruciating pain in her head.
She wanted to sit down but she couldn't because she felt her energy was drained and now the pain is all over her entire body. She also noticed that she was not sleeping in her apartment; it made her brain panic a little.
And then she wanted to jump out of the bed as she saw a man on the bed. She looks underneath the sheets and notices that she is completely naked as a person who has grown to be calm at any situation and moment she's thinking on what to do next.
Will she wake the man or she will wait for him to wake up?.
As she surveyed the man's face she felt a distinct recognizable connection she felt with him.
"He seems Familiar to me but I can't remember who he was."
She's really curious about him. She's trying to remember the interaction that they have, however, her head keeps on pulsating and it is really troubling her that she decided to try to sleep again because of the pain.
Equinox Felix Leighton Blackwell wakes up with light spreading in the entire room as he checks the woman beside him. He wanted to look at her face and stroke it gently but she may awaken from her deep sleep. So he tries to move little by little so he can go down the bed without waking her up.
He moves out of the bed without trouble, as he pushes a button to close the curtain so that the room will be darkened. He got his phone and called his secretary.
I need you to bring me new clothes for me and Ms. Fleurette: Thank you as he hangs up his phone and still looks at Eula who's sleeping very soundly.
He went to the bathroom to refresh himself and when he finished he called the room service to order a meal.
He opens his Laptop to check for his company emails, look for important documents he needs to pay attention to, and then he checks the news. The focus was The Cross Worldwide Incorporated owner who is sleeping unbothered by the outside world hoping that she will move forward after this event and face the aftermath process .
He also checks his phone for important text messages and sends back his responses.
And then he notices that Eula is already awake. He didn't know how to react so he just used his usually deadpan expression to mask anxiousness.
Eula woke up and looked at the window which is now covered by the curtain and her hazy eyes looked at the man's figure sitting and looking at her attentively watching her every move.
She feels uneasy, awkwardly embarrassed and self conscious at the moment. How can she interact with him now? She wished she's the one to wake up first so she can prepare and readied herself
She is still contemplating whether to speak or not to speak to him at this moment. With her heavy pondering she didn't notice him walking to the bedside and asked her if she wanted to freshen up herself?
Do you want to take a bath? Equinox said with his hoarse/throaty voice.
"Ah yes, I will take a bath!". Eula's embarrassed response.
She tries to move herself up but her body tiredness makes her legs weak and one of her feet got caught with the bed sheet and then she stumbles and loses her balance she almost falls out of the bed but the man catches her quickly and with that he carries her without any covering to her naked body. She tried to cover herself with her hands but ended miserably.
The man's warmth is really relaxing even if he's wearing a bathrobe the heat of his body is emanating as he walks.
Her face now is flushed red her face is much red that tomatoes she also felt she was steaming. She heard him chuckle how she was surprised to see his lopsided smile even if it's just a glimpse of it, It's priceless.
The man helps Eula to wash herself. He started by shampooing her hair and scrubbing her back, she did not feel any embarrassment at all even though he's a stranger. Eula felt that this man can be trusted after drying up her body and wearing a bathrobe too. She was carried by him effortlessly again and then the room service perfectly delivered the food on the table.
They Quietly it eat the meal that was served. It was her taste. She has the meat and fresh vegetable salad first, the waffles with strawberry and blueberry jam and fruits with cream cheese and lastly she drinks fresh mango juice.
They have the same ordered food and the same palate as well. She enjoys the food so much and it's in big servings as well. She finished it all up. Like a kid that never cares about the calories or weight it will gain.
Equinox on the other hand just looks at her and in the back of his mind "She is completely adorable and cute!". How can that stupid man let go of her?. He wanted to entirely knock the head of Eula's fiance since she was so adorable and lovely. He even curses at the back of his mind.
Before the end of their meal someone knocks at the door that made their attention to the one's knocking.
Equinox stood up and walked through the door and received the requested clothes. He put it near the sofa and got back to his seat, where Eula enjoyed her food.
After Eating Eula started the conversation but was stopped by Equinox.
I wanted to ask for your name and what happened last night? Eula said
Before that we should wear our clothes. You might get sick wearing a bathrobe. Equinox stated flatly.
But for Eula it made her heart pound a little but she ignored and focused on trying to stand up alone but she failed again awkwardly.
Then let me help you said Equinox
She was completely eyeing every move of this man made and she liked how she was well taken care of. She never felt this important.
The man even tries to blow dry her hair which is super long enough to make anyone complain but this man never loses his focus doing it and actually doing a great job.
She looked amazing at the clothes she was currently wearing and she really loved how she was dressed.
After they finished dressing up they went back to the table where they sat and started the conversation that was parked for a while now.
Eula initiated the start of the conversation by her name and it sounded like preschooler introduction but she said it thoughtfully.
Hi, my name is Eula Violet Cross Fleurette and yours?
In Equinox mind she is really cute right now he can't help but to pinch her on cheeks
By that sudden movement Eula was taken aback and just looked surprised but she couldn't help but feel the pounding of her heart as she saw him smiling.
God, that smile will really take your soul away from your body as Eula commented inside her brain.
"You might already know me but I want to know your name?" Eula almost choke on her words
They looked in each other's eyes suddenly and with that the man left another chuckle before he spoke.
Equinox Felix Leighton Blackwell as he said his name Eula is still trying to figure out who he is but instead she continues to ask questions.
"Have we already met before?".
"Can you tell me if you know someone from my Family?".
"Can you tell me if your company is affiliated with The Cross Worldwide Incorporated?".
"Can you tell what happened yesterday night?".Eula said bashfully.
One by one Equinox answers her questions honestly.
For your first question, have we met before? Yes we have but I won't tell you when.
For your second question, if I know someone in your family it's a " Yes Personally I know your mother side of the family I'm acquainted with the Cross".
For your third question the answer is: My company was never part of any of the Cross or Fleurette Family Business. I started and built my own wealth.
And for last night's event it will be a long story. Would you really want me to continue?.
When Eula answered Yes I wanted to know what happened last night. She already make sure that she is ready to hear the story.
Equinox let Eula know everything from the start.As hee started to tell the whole story he make sure to look at Eula's reaction.
First I'm meeting a friend near that area where you drink at the bar but I need to leave earlier than expected because of the paparazzi and reporters when I see you already in the drunk state as I pull you over to the car I cannot bring you to the hospital or call someone for help since most of my trusted people are far from the area. So I decided to bring you along to the hotel where I stay for business purposes. I switched rooms so it's not the same room that I'm currently staying in; my assistant and my secretary stay in that room for safety purposes.
Secondly, you were on drugs so we need to be relieved of your body or you will die from the heat because it can melt your brain, you're breathing heavily as well so your lungs are affected, and lastly you're in so much pain.
I'll be honest, something happened between us last night and I will take responsibility for my actions.
Eula smiled at him because she was really thankful someone helped her.
She said Thank you! and continue to stay with Equinox
I guess there is still a little sunshine before the storm arrives.
