Chapter 28

I woke up feeling the sun’s glare on my face. I stretched my arms wide noticing that I was alone in bed. I remembered that I was with someone. Now, the bed was empty beside me. That wasn’t the only thing that I realized though. Stefano and I had sex and... he fucking left. I looked around the room. No things that would remind me that he’s still here. My dress and heels were the only things lying on the floor. His scent was still lingering in the bed though. I searched for my phone and found it on the nightstand beside the bed. It was 9am. I lied back on the bed and sighed. ****. I’m so screwed. And I’m sore as hell. Ranallo fucking flip me like a page. I hurriedly picked up my dress and changed. I got out of his room only to bump into none other than Sierra. We’re both taken by surprise. Sierra looked at me with a raised brow. I shook my head and raise my hand to her face. "We’ll talk later. I’m going to shower first and change." She just nodded with a hint of amusement on her face. "I’m going to wait for you at the garden." She said with a smile and I just nodded. After I showered and changed, I went to where Sierra was. When I found her, she waved at me with a mischievous smile on her face. I sat down across her. "I didn’t know what you want so I just order toast with bacon and eggs. And oh, coffee of course." She said as she gave me the coffee. I took it gratefully and took a sip on it. "So... how was the sex?" I was caught off guard by her question that I choked from my drink. I coughed awkwardly. Sierra laughed and handed me a tissue. "Chill, Avery." She giggled. "You expect me to chill with that kind of question. God! Was I that obvious?" I said freaking out and embarrassed. I could feel the heat spreading through my face but I held it in. "Well, yeah. Considering you got out from his room. Wow. I never seen anyone this red before." "Shut up!" I glared at her and she just laughed. "You know, I heard he’s not interested in women. Some people think he’s gay... but I doubt that now. So how was the sex, Avery? Tell me." She playfully asked. I’m having second thoughts if she’s actually serious. "**** you, Sierra. Are you crazy?" She laughed. "I’m just curious. If what they said is true then he won’t be touching any woman, right? That would be disgusting. But then he let you in his room- just a make out session with him is already damn hot and fantastic." She shrugged. "Yeah, fantastic because he just left. " I exclaimed sarcastically. "Oh." She uttered dejectedly. "Actually, I saw them this early morning. The rest of the guests went home last night while our families went home just this morning. I wondered where you were. I thought you left last night. I was angry that my friend just left without saying goodbye. Now I know why." She crossed her arms." Ashton and Stefano went to their work." She sighed. "What’s with the sigh? You already missed your husband?" I smirked teasing her. "Of course not." She frowned. "Hey we’re supposed to be talking about you." "There’s nothing to talk about. Really. He left. I already felt bad about that. I mean... who am I even to him. Oh, right. His driver." I exclaimed as I rolled my eyes. "Maybe he was just busy. He couldn’t wake you up and just left." She said trying to make me feel better. "I know when a guy doesn’t really like you, Sierra. He leaves and he left. I understand. It was just unexpected for me though. I wasn’t really used to this kind of situation." Well in my experience, I was always the one leaving. So I understood why he left. He was never really interested in me. I guess now karma played me. Is this how it felt being left? "Like one night stands?" She asked innocently. "Like fucking your billionaire boss, yes." I sighed deeply. My hands went to my face. "God. I can’t believe I went out of control last night. I’m so stupid." I whined. "How could you act like you regretted it?" She asked with concern and curiosity. "Because clearly it was a mistake." I spat rather roughly. "But you like him... don’t you?" "I’m attracted to him... now, very much yes. Like? I... I just didn’t know we could go this far you know. I mean I hated his guts. He was the one who made my parents turned back on me. It took three years for me to endure shit and now... now..." I frowned. "I’m not so sure." "You so like him." She said with a small smirk. "I don’t want to think about it. Maybe last night was never meant to happen. I’m only going to sulk right now and move on with that stupid one night stand mistake." I said with finality. "You’re probably just confused, Avery." She put her hand above mine. I frowned. "Shouldn’t I be the one asking how your first night as a married couple?" I asked changing the topic. Not really in the mood to talk about Stefano and I’s relationship. "We just slept the whole night, Avery." She rolled her eyes as she took her hand off mine. "We were tired. Sex is out of the question since we have an agreement not to do it." I frowned. "What if both of your parents will ask for a grandchild?" She stiffened. "Well, we haven’t thought of that." I nodded. I took a sip of my coffee. "You know I’m still a ******." The coffee splurt out of my mouth. I grabbed the napkin from the table and wiped my mouth. "For ****’s sake, Sierra, can you not say something crazy when I’m drinking my coffee here." I scolded her. Sierra just laughed at my condition. "You look hilarious." She continued laughing unattractively while waving her hand like a stupid beckoning cat. "Yeah, yeah. But really... are you?" I asked seriously. "Yep." She popped the p. "And I’m not really proud of it." "Why? I could be dying to be in your shoes right now. I regret whoring around when I was young. It’s still disgust me til now." I said honestly. "Yeah, but you lived your life the way you wanted. You didn’t give a shit about following any rules or anyone. Look at me. I’m always stuck following them." She sighed. "I wanna party like there’s no tomorrow. Get drunk and no need to worry about some paparazzi posting me at the front page. Get high." "Trust me. You don’t wanna do that. Take it from me, Sierra. You’re just going to waste your time and your life. I could have finished college now you know but I didn’t and you know why." "I at least want to try." She said almost pleading. "No." I said flatly. "Well then I wanna try having one night stand with some hot guy. I want him to be sexy-" "Have you forgotten you’re already married? And besides..." I smirked teasingly. "your husband could help you with that department. I’m sure he’s a charming specimen who would love to take your vcard. Ashton seems to be the perfect guy who could make your first night to be extremely unforgettable. Not to mention he’s hot and sexy-" "Eww! No way!" Sierra covered her ears. "Can you fucking shut up and not talk about him like he’s some  kind of delicious meat?" "Oh but he is!" I exclaimed. She threw a bacon at me. I just laughed at her antics.
