Aria managed to find her way to the room. She couldn't understand how she was feeling right now. 'How can I be so intoxicated after two glasses ' she thought as she forced herself to stand. Ethan said the room was open so she just opened the door and went inside.
The room was very dark, 'Why is there no light on?' she was wondering but that was shortly before she couldn't think correctly again.
This is worrying, even though she's not a great drinker she had drank alcohol before so she knew her tolerance level. She didn't think that the amount of alcohol she drank would make her feel like that already.
She fell on the bed while thinking she was in a mess. The door opened behind her. And someone came in.
"Ethan," she murmured so inaudibly that she barely made a sound. She didn't have the strength to stand and just lay on the bed. The person probably didn't hear her as he kept approaching. When he came closer, he leaned over her and wrapped her gently on his arms and kissed her deeply.
Aria's brain sparked. She felt heat coursing through her body, especially her lower parts, she could feel a strong fire from her lower parts.
'Strange I had kissed Ethan so many times I never got this aroused before.' she thought. Though her thought was quite messy at the moment, one thing was sure to her, this wasn't Ethan, but for one thing she couldn't confirm and currently she wasn't even in her right mind.
Still instinctively tried to resist but she lacked the strength, something was messing up with her reasoning and she was heating up.
"Mia Bellezza" the man whispered close to her ears, blowing hot. Aria felt her body shaking and she became hotter. For some reason she found the man's voice pleasant and the name she liked.
They spent a steamy night together and slept off in each other's arms.
The following day Aria woke up after hearing a disturbance. She saw Ethan bending over to pick something, on the bed.
She shook her head still feeling groggy.
"Ethan," she murmured.
Ethan's hands paused and he seemed indecisive whether to pick the stuff or not but that was for just a fleeting moment. He picked it up and Aria saw it was a huge bundle of dollar bills.
She sat up immediately but that was when she noticed she wasn't wearing any clothes, she felt a sharp pain on her lower body, she had some fleeting memory of last night but couldn't recall much due to her memory being chaotic.
She covered herself quickly.
"Ethan, what happened here last night I don't seem to recall that much." She was totally confused at the moment and didn't know what to make out of this situation.
"You whore! So this is what you do behind me!" Ethan shouted holding up the cash bundle. "You have been going behind me sleeping other men while pretending you are a goddamn virgin."
Aria was now lost but if there is one thing she can confirm, she had indeed slept in this room with someone, though the memory was fleeting and she couldn't remember a thing.
"I..I don't understand, what happened last night? Wasn't this supposed to be the room we were supposed to meet in yesterday?" She asked weakly not knowing what else to say, her emotions were all messed up and above all she felt that something is wrong somewhere, she just couldn't fathom why.
Ethan put on a wronged look and continued.
"So this is what I get after all these years being with you, after all I have sacrificed for you bitchy girl."
'Bitchy girl? Sacrificed for me?' Aria didn't know which of the two sentences hit her the most. At least she couldn't relate to the second one.
Over all the five years of their relationship she had been the one making the sacrifices, giving him her salary on many occasions even though he never pays back as he always swore. And not forgetting the fact that she always tries to condone his gambling and drinking habits all these years. No other girl could have done close to what she did for him, any other girl would have given up years ago.
"What are you saying Ethan?"
"What am I saying? You don't know what I'm saying? Fine let me be straight since you still want to pretend, you slept with another man for money you whore, here is it," he raised the bundle of money.
"This is what the man you slept with gave you right? Well unfortunately I'm going to take this as compensation for what you did to me."
He grabbed the money bundle and hurriedly left the room before she could even stop him.
"Oh God! What have I done?" She cried out loudly. After carefully checking out her body she could easily confirm that she did have sex with someone. Yesterday's incident came fleeting in her mind but she couldn't remember the details.
'I must have gone to the wrong room, to think of it I was drunk yesterday night and must have made a mistake. Oh Aria, what have you done? What am I going to do now?'
She was lost and confused. In what way was she ever going to convince Ethan that it was a mistake? He probably is never going to believe him. She will probably end up making herself look like a bad liar and disgracing herself further.
Besides, she was still hurt by his words and also his action of taking away the money as if it was the only thing he cares for. Not that she needs the money, no way is she going to take anything that's probably from the man that put her in this situation.
He seemed more interested in the money rather than the fact that his girlfriend just slept with another man. She couldn't fathom what he was thinking.
Deep emotions filled her heart thinking of how their five years relationship was going to crumble like that. Last night was supposed to be a very special night for both of them. She had even expected that he'd propose to her. She had imagined many beautiful versions of last night.
And now, all her beautiful imagination was just it, an imagination.
Aria broke out crying, she couldn't take the roller coaster of emotion that was eating her up.
