Bella opened her eyes hearing the continuous knocks on the door. She looked around while she was still in bed. It was not her room. She felt a throbbing pain in her head. She groaned in pain while trying to move up her head. She held her head but dizziness made her lay down again.
She shouted, "Who is it?"
"Miss, are you alright? My duty is getting over. You need to vacate the room", said someone.
Bella couldn't understand what he was saying.
"I am alright. Give me some time", shouted her again.
"Okay, Miss. I am at the reception till 10. Please come down by then", said he.
Bella heard his footsteps fading away.
She exhaled and tried to recall how she ended up in that room but those headaches and dizziness didn't let her think anything. Soon she realised her whole body was in pain.
"What is happening? Where am I? Why my body is paining so much? What day is it today? I need to reach the office. Where the hell is my cellphone!!?" thought Bella.
Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated. She looked around. It was vibrating under the blanket that she was carrying. She removed the blanket to find her cell phone, but...
She found herself naked!!
She immediately covered herself in shock.
"What the f***!!"
Her pupils moved faster here and there to think about what could have happened last night. She could recall nothing. The cell phone kept on vibrating. She grabbed her cell phone. It was her friend Mia.
"Hello", said Bella after receiving the call.
"Where the hell are you? Our meeting will start in half an hour. We needed to recheck all the facts that we had mentioned. We agreed to meet one hour before the meeting. I have been waiting for you for half an hour now. Come fast!!" yelled Mia.
"Hmm... Ya. I am coming. I will be there before the meeting. Can you please check all the facts yourself?" said Bella in a slow voice.
"Are you alright?" asked Mia.
"Yes... Yes. I just overslept. I will be there soon", said Bella and disconnected the call.
Bella got up and went to the bathroom. She felt uneasy walking. She felt discomfort in her vagina. She sat over the pot, thinking hard about whom she was.
"Was I raped!!" A thought ran through her mind and made her cry harder. She took a bath and dressed up in her clothes. She looked around to find any clue. She found a tablet of painkillers on the right side of the bed.
"Bastard!! It seems like he was a playboy. I will find you and kill you!!" thought Bella.
She grabbed her cell phone and her handbag. She was about to leave when someone knocked at the door again.
She cleared her face and opened the door.
"Goodness!! You opened the door. I was about to leave. I hope you can rest well. You were a mess last night", said he.
Bella was not in the mood to talk to him. She needed fresh air to breathe. She ran out looking for the exit. She came out of the building hurriedly. She checked Google Maps and realized she was near her office only. She ran towards her office to meet Mia though she was not in her senses.
She arrived 5 minutes before the meeting. Mia was having coffee with a sandwich. She grabbed both of them from her hands and had them hurriedly.
"Thanks," she uttered and sat beside Mia.
"How could you overslept? Did, by any chance, you spend the night with Lucas?? Did you guys do it!?" asked Mia, rolling her eyes.
Some bells rang in Bella's mind, and she could recall another painful event of the last night. Lucas broke up with her last night. They had a huge fight, and Lucas went away, leaving her behind in a restaurant, where they went for dinner.
"Where are you lost?" asked Mia waving her hand in front of Bella's eyes.
"Let's move to the meeting room. Mr. Daniel is here", said Bella looking at a man who was coming towards them.
The meeting was over. Somehow Bella managed her hangover symptoms and spent the entire day in her office talking to her colleague as if nothing had happened. As soon as she left the office, she went back to the place where she spent the last night. It was Zuri's Nightclub.
"Ohh! Yes. I came here to have drinks after Lucas left me in that restaurant!! But I was all alone. How did I end up in that room and with whom??" thought Bella and entered the nightclub.
She found the same boy at the bar counter.
"Hello, How are you?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"Was that your room?" asked Bella feeling suspicious of him.
"No, I live somewhere else. People rent out this room on an hourly basis. The service is included in our nightclub with drinks and all", explained him.
Bella recalled sitting on the chair behind that bar counter only. She was having drinks alone. Till then, she could recall, but after that,t, she was blank.
"Was I with someone yesterday?" asked Bella.
"I don't know his name. He came here for the first time yesterday", he replied.
Before Bella could ask him more about that man, he was called by the manager. He left hurriedly. Bella ordered a drink and sat there only to recall the last night's events and the face of that stranger.
