"Heidi..." I moan, feeling her tongue on my face. "Heidi…" I knew you were savage, but not this type of savage! Totally wild! Very unhinged! I seem like a complete virgin compared to you. I was not expecting this, but I will enjoy it as it is. After all, I do not think I will get another chance soon.
Heidi, don't just lick my face. Go down, please… Ah, you stubborn woman, you're driving me crazy! At least give me a kiss. I grab her face and pull it closer to mine. She just cannot stop licking me! Is this your way to show me your love? Then, I will show you mine. Hm. You smell a bit funny, but I do not mind.
"Aldo, what are you doing?" A weirded-out voice asks.
Eh? What? Who?
I open my eyes and find Cookie, my dog, in front of me, she licks me one more time, happy that she can lick me to her heart's content. Oh, so the smell was my dog's breath. It was not Heidi… It was just Cookie… Dammit… I sigh dejected and let Cookie go, who barks and enthusiastically runs around my room – which she seldom enters –, chasing her tail.
Soon, I hear something crashing down. Yes, that is why she does not enter my room.
More importantly, was it all a dream? The theater, the dinner, the park, Heidi…
Wait, where am I? I quickly incorporate, and that is when I feel my head about to explode. I groan, holding my head and rubbing my temples to sooth the pain a bit. I open my eyes and notice I am in my room, half naked. The clock marks the time as past noon. How did I get here? I do not remember anything.
I look up and see the unimpressed expression of my junior. "What happened?" I ask Niccolo, who hands me a glass of water and some medicine.
"You don't remember?" He looks at me flabbergasted. My stomach drops. This cannot be good. "Aldo… you did something really awful to Miss Heidi. Actually, I'm surprised you didn't go any further." I widen my eyes at his words, my heart races in anxiety.
What did I do to Heidi? Is that why I'm half naked? Did I take advantage of her? It wasn't supposed to end like this! I… I sure would've love to do some naughty things with her, to wake up having her bare skin pressed to mine, sweetly smile at each other and mumble love words… However, if she was unwilling and I just… Oh God, she must hate me now!
"Where's she?" I frantically ask, a bit afraid of the answer.
"In the kitchen. She's... Wait, Aldo!" To hell with waiting!
If I have a chance to redeem myself, then I will not mind kneeling and kissing her feet. I can go to hell and return all burnt and bedraggled. Even with no hair! I can enlist to serve the country and recover my lost honor. I can even clean the sewers just to ask for her forgiveness!
I know I was in a bit of a hurry because we hadn't seen each other for many years, but damn my self-control… That was just me being drunk and desperate! No, there's no excuse for what I did… I'm really just pathetic and cheap and a monster! If I really did something to Heidi, then I'll immediately hang myself.
I rush into the kitchen, and instead of finding a broken Heidi, I find my older brother with my other two friends sitting at the kitchen island, merrily eating. Why are they here? Where is Heidi? I stare at them with a dumbfounded face. Then, a pan clattering gets my attention and I look up. And, there she is…
She is… cooking in my kitchen…
Am I dreaming? Why is she acting like the happy wife who receives my family and friends, and even cooks for them? She can cook?
"What are you doing standing like that, Aldo?" The deep voice of my older brother, Reggie, makes me turn to see him. I notice that him, Tadeo and Dayton are looking at me as if I am some sort of alien.
Tadeo Porto is a rapper that has featured in several of my songs, and I have featured in some of his. Dayton Adesso is an actor that I met through my brother. My brother and him could be called best friends, but since Dayton is the same age as me, we get along well. My brother also brings him to hang out at my place whenever they film nearby for their current drama.
Drama that is also starring my favorite actress – TV actress, since I recently found my favorite of all times: Heidi Ricci.
"You're awake, Aldo?" Heidi's sweet voice calls out my name, interrupting my rambling thoughts. The smile on her face disappears and she instantly turns around, covering her face.
"We know it's your house, but when I tell you she's here, that doesn't mean you can go around showing your bits."
Niccolo chastises, throwing a shirt and pants on my head as I stand there frozen like a perfect perch.
A perfectly-timed breeze from the air conditioner make me notice that I am only wearing boxers, and tight boxers at that! Damn! And when she looked at me, her eyes traveled down there! I should be happy that she saw… well, little endowed me, but why is it that I only want to let a meteorite crush me in this moment?
I quickly put on the clothes, under the laughing of my friends and brother. So shameful. Once clothed, I approach the island and sit down, pretending it was not me who rushed in half-naked.
"You can turn around, Heidi. Aldo's decent now." Reggie says, his voice still filled with mirth. I glare at my brother. And why is he acting so familiar with her?! Don't tell me… she already pocketed her brother-in-law?
Heidi awkwardly puts brunch in front of me, and then sits on the other side of the island to eat her own food.
"Thank you." I say, my voice a bit strained from my past embarrassing moment. She only nods.
"So, why did you tell us to come? What's that important thing you wanted to announce?" Tadeo asks with expectancy in his eyes. The moment his words came out, everybody looked at me, curious and waiting.
"What are you talking about?" I slowly ask. Important thing to announce? I do not remember anything like that. I had something to announce?
"Aldo, you called me past midnight to tell me there's something extremely important you have to say. You're lucky we've a free day." Dayton points his fork at me.
"Speak for yourself. I have to film a scene today with Lana." Reggie speaks up. Everybody perks up at that. Even Heidi.
"Man, for her to act as your wife…" Dayton sighed. Lana Santori might not be the most famous actress in the industry as her roles are not well-liked by the population, but amidst the industry, who did not want to work with her? My brother had the luck of the devil to act as a couple with her!
"And, then, what was the important piece of news." Tadeo inquired, returning to the original topic.
Did I really call everyone claiming that? I look around and they all once again look at me, waiting for my words. I am not sure what it is really going on. And I cannot keep them waiting, so I do my best to remember the exact scene where all this matter originated, but the hangover is not helping that much.
Come on, Aldo, focus! Focus a bit more! Then, the flash of a memory comes to my mind, making me gasp.
I'm a total idiot! Heidi, it's better if you kill me with your own hands.
