Ethan stopped immediately even though he was puzzled, as he had promised to do earlier.
"What's the problem?"
"Nothing!" Shikera stood up hurriedly and wrapped her robe around herself. Cursing underneath her breath, she ran out of his room without looking back. Immediately she got into her room, she locked the door just in time before Ethan could get there.
"Shikera!" His sharp knocks resounded on her door, causing Shikera to turn around abruptly. Why did this sh*t have to happen tonight?!
She heard his steely voice again,"Did I do something wrong?"
"No!" Her answer was abrupt.
"Damn! Then, what happened?!"
There was silence for a minute in which Shikera thought he had left, but he hadn't.
"Shi—"
"It's...uhm, that time of the month. My period..." She interrupted him with her soft voice, and another silence ensued thereafter.
Ethan broke it for the second time, this time with his voice calmer and lower than earlier.
