Roxanne smiled and said, "Don''t get your knickers in a twist. Felicia said she''d meet me here after she was done. You''ll be able to see her then. Perhaps she''s preparing a surprise for you after not seeing each other for a while."


    This...was possible.


    "Take a seat. I''ll pour you a ss of juice so you can drink while you wait."


    She pulled me onto the couch and ced a ss of orange juice before me.


    I sighed. When I saw Felicia, I would lecture her about the importance of keeping in contact with me at all times no matter what happens. If not, I''d be so concerned all the time, wouldn''t I?


    However, Roxanne''s updates offered me some degree of relief. Her calmness led me to believe that Felicia would be fine. All I had to do was wait.


    After calming down, I scanned her hotel room.


    Evidently, Roxanne was loaded. It seemed like a presidential suite. It was sure to have cost at least three to five thousand dors a night.


    Roxanne was walking around on the carpet barefoot, tidying up her room while humming. She seemed to be in high spirits.


    Something seemed off, but I couldn''t put my finger on what it was exactly.


    I got bored and picked up the juice, taking a few sips. I checked my watch multiple times nervously.


    After a while, I felt extremely drowsy. My eyelids fluttered and I fell asleep.


    When I woke up, I was lying in bed naked. I sat up in disbelief and pulled away the covers before inhaling sharply. I had no boxers on either!


    The worst part was how Roxanne was lying right next to me,pletely naked.


    My eyes scanned the scene. Scraps of Roxanne''s nightgown were strewn across the floor. Spots of red were dotted across the bed sheets. It was definitely Roxanne''s blood. There was no question about it. After all, I wasn''t even hurt.


    Did we...


    I couldn''t bear to continue that train of thought.


    Myst memory fromst night was dozing off on the couch. I was asleep after that.


    Why would I have fallen asleep out of the blue? There was definitely something wrong!


    I got out of bed and put my clothes on. Then, I shook Roxanne till she woke up. Roxanne''s eyelids fluttered open. "Will, you''re up."


    "Who are you calling Will? Call me William!"


    I red at her.


    "I''m asking you, what did you do to mest night? Was there something in the juice?"


    Roxanne turned around and sat up. The covers slid down from where they were bunched around her shoulders.


    She gave me a small smile and said, "Yeah, Will. I''ve liked you for a very long time. We finally had the opportunity to get a little alone time yesterday. I couldn''t help it. I''ve given my first time to you."


    It was just as I feared.


    I inhaled deeply. Then, I chuckled. "Did you think we were in the 15th century? This would''ve worked back then. What, do you think I have to take responsibility for you just because we had a one-night stand?"


    Roxanne flinched. "D-did you not want to be responsible? That''s impossible. You''re a good man. I''ve looked into you. You''d never do such a horrible thing."


    "You''re wrong."
