Edwin was gone when I woke up. I was lying on the couch with a blanket on me that I'm sure I didn't bring. It must be Edwin.
It was 10AM. I didn't have class today. I usually wake up at 6 in the morning, but I had lost my energy because of last night.
I was very hungry. I got up to make something to eat, but there was already an elaborate breakfast on the table in the kitchen. I prepared this?! Why don't I remember? I went forward and saw a paper on the table,"I hope you like it. Edwin,"
I smiled and looked at the paper for a few minutes. Am I really in love with Edwin?!
I don't know why I can't stop thinking about him! I think about him everywhere and every moment and it bothers me. Isn't love supposed to be enjoyable, so why do I feel sad every time I think about him?! I keep saying to myself, I wish he was with me now and etc.
**********
Two days has passed since that night and I still haven't spoken to Edwin. I saw him outside the building only once, but he didn't see me.
I need something to take my mind off him. In these few days, I couldn't concentrate on anything and I even had problems at work.
I decided to drink to forget about Edwin. I know I said I would never do this but I can't take this pain anymore.
It was the weekend. I went to the store, bought several bottles of drinks and returned home. I put them on the table and sat down. I filled a glass.
"Alright, here we go"
I took a sip of the drink. It was sharp and burned my throat. I filled my glass again and drank. I drank so much that I was completely drunk. Not having control over my body and being brave. So brave that I knocked on Edwin's door. Drunk and with half-naked clothes. Edwin opened the door.
"Ella, is there a problem?" He asked.
"Yes, the problem is you Mr. I don't-want-to-regret- later," I pointed my finger at him,"you…you…,"
I was about to throw up, helding my hand in front of my mouth.
"Are you drunk?!" Edwin asked. With smile.
"Nope," I almost lost my balance,"I don't need any man. I'm Elizabeth Adling and you…," I looked into his eyes. Ah, so beautiful," and you're just a attractive detective."
He laughed.
"You think it's funny?!" I said.
"You're funny, Ella. I like you"
"Just like?! Can't it be more?!" I said, nearly collapsing. Edwin caught me.
"Okay. Now You are talking nonsense. Come in . I'll see if I can find some medicine for you."
I pushed aside Edwin's hand and stood,"I can walk by my own," I said in a funny tone.
Edwin laughed and stood aside and I went in like a moving jelly. I lay down on the couch in the living room. Edwin brought me coffee. Then he took me to the bathroom.
"Oh, are we going to take a shower together?" I smiled at him.
"You're crazy," he was laughing at me.
He opened the shower, took me under cold water. My whole body froze.
"Too cold," I said.
"I know. This is the punishment for being crazy."
I pulled him to me and he got wet,"what are you doing?!!" Edwin said.
"I'm crazy. There is nothing wrong with doing this."
I don't remember this part well, but I think I kissed Edwin there. I don't remember after that moment.
When I woke up in the morning, I was in Edwin's bed. It took me a while to realize what a stupid thing I did last night. Oh, why was I so stupid?! wait! did we...?!No, I wasn't that drunk.
I put the blanket aside. It was my pajamas. I'm sure I didn't wear these last night. Did he change my clothes?! Did Edwin see my whole body?!
how shameless! It turned out he is like everyone else. He was just waiting for the opportunity. Edwin is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I was very nervous. So much so that I hurriedly got out of bed and went to the living room. Edwin was making breakfast. Saw me and smiled.
"Good morning, Elizabeth" he said.
"What the fuck did you do?!" I said to him with anger,"I thought you're different!"
"What... what you mean?!" He asked. His smile disappeared.
"Is that you always do?! Deceiving people?!"
"Calm down, just tell me what happe...,"
"I hate you,"
I left his house without a chance to talk. My chest hurt and my throat was sore. I was nervous about letting someone affect me like that. I lay on my bed and cried. I promised myself that I would never surrender to any man again. They are all the same.
The next morning, inside the elevator, I saw an old woman who lived downstairs. I had never talked to him before and I was nervous because of last night, so I stood next to her without saying a word.
"You were much funnier last night," the old woman said.
"I'm sorry, Are you talking with me?!" I asked in surprise.
"Is there anyone here besides us?" She said.
The old lady acted like she knew me but I'm sure I've never spoken to her before.
"Do we know each other?!" I asked.
"I am Mrs. Andrews. I saw you last night. In your neighbor's house,"
"What you mean?!" I asked confused.
Last night, a young man came to me and said that his friend is very drunk and his clothes are wet. He asked me to change you.
"What?! I don't understand!"
When I came you were almost unconscious and your clothes were wet. He brought dry clothes and asked me to help you put them on. He said you probably don't like a Man see your body.
I can't believe it. I never thought Edwin would do such a thing. didn't expect him to be such a gentleman and now I am very sad. I wish I didn't talk to him like that. I didn't even let him talk and told him whatever I wanted. I'm sure he will never forgive me.
When Mrs. Andrews told the whole story, I realized that Edwin was more noble than I thought. Now I am sure that I fell in love with him. In love with the one who is going to arrest me. The hunt has fallen in love with the hunter. What an interesting fate!
