Aria stirred in her sleep. Her head was throbbing and she felt a little weird. She stared straight ahead and looked at the ceiling, it looked different compared to the one at the hotel room where she was staying. Also, the bed was more comfortable and soft, she could lie on it all day. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong, she was in an unknown place.
She up immediately, the sudden action giving her a head rush and causing her to feel a little dizzy. When the dizziness reduced, Aria held her aching head and groaned in pain. She then realized again that she was at an unknown place. She looked down to see if she was still wearing her clothes. She was a little afraid to think that she had been taken advantage of when she was drunk. However, she sighed in relief when she saw that she was still wearing the clothes she wore for the party.
She tried to comprehend the situation. 'Who would bring her here? Mason?' If it is that bastard, then she would not hesitate even an ounce to kill. She clearly remembered that it was a glass of drink he gave that made her go crazy.
'What if it was not Mason? Was it someone from the party?' Aria mused. She had clearly forgotten about Noah and that he had accompanied her to the pub. Guess the only way to find out was to leave the room.
She slipped off the bed and opened the door, it was already morning. The sunlight was blazing through the windows, yet nobody was present in her vicinity. She looked at the familiar surroundings and thought about it. Where had she seen them? Then it struck her. It was Noah's house, she was in his house.
'Did Noah bring me to his house?' She pondered. She was also a little happy that he had not taken advantage of her in her drunken state, her respect for him grew to another level.
She walked down the stairs and approached the dining hall. She saw Noah sitting at the chair and gazed at him. He was reading the newspaper while he sipping coffee using his free hand. He looked so dapper and sexy even if he was in his sleepwear, it made Aria want to do bad things to him.
Sensing somebody's strong gaze on him, Noah turned back. He saw Aria standing in front of the dining hall, lost in her thoughts.
"Hey." He chirped.
His voice sounded so charming and masculine that it made Aria quiver. She shook her head off the perverted thoughts and wished him back.
"Hey. Good morning." She walked in front of him and sat on the chair to his left. The headache she was having intensified again and she dropped her head on the table, with her eyes closed.
"Oh." She moaned.
"Hangover?"
"You have no idea."
"Here have this." Noah handed her a cup of green tea.
"Thanks." Aria took a sip and blinked a few times. She finished her tea slowly, by then her headache had reduced.
"Thank you," Aria said after a while.
"Not a problem. Its just tea."
"No, not for the tea."
"Then?" Noah asked, a little confused. Did he do something which he did not know about or had probably forgotten?
"For taking care of me and bringing me to your house. Also, for not taking advantage of me."
"Hey, hey, hey. You are my girlfriend, it is my right to take care of you."
"You are right. I am your girlfriend. Also, I am sorry."
"Why are you sorry now?"
"I might have done something really crazy in my drunken stupor." Aria bowed her head in embarrassment.
"You did do many things actually. Don't you remember?" Noah was amused.
"I remember that it was Mason who gave me that drink. Also, I remember that I ran away when you were trying to get me in the car. Other than that I can't remember a thing. What did I do? Was it something embarrassing?"
"Yes." Noah wanted to continue. But he was stopped by Aria.
"Oh my God. I puked on you."
"What?"
"I puked on you. That is what happened." Aria covered her mouth in shock.
"No.." Noah wanted to refuse. However, he got an idea the next moment. He could get back at her for teasing him with just a small peck.
"Yes, you puked on me and that too in front of so many people. My suit was ruined."
"Oh my God. I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do any of the things. That is why I don't drink, I can seem to stay in my limits and later when I am sober, I can't remember a thing."
Noah smirked. "Yes, you should never drink from now on."
"It was not my fault, it was Mason who gave me that drink."
"From now on then, you are not allowed to accept any drinks from anyone other than me."
"Is this an order?"
"No, I want you to promise me."
"Okay, I promise."
"Now, how are you going to compensate me for the suit?" Noah said with a devilish smile.
"I'll buy a new one." Aria did not see his hungry gaze.
"That is not enough."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want a kiss." Without waiting for Aria to respond, Noah pulled her on his lap and kissed her with passion. She pushed him with great force immediately.
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
"I don't care."
"I stink of alcohol."
"I don't care."
"I want to puke."
"I don't care. Wait. What?"
"I want to puke."
Aria jumped off his lap and ran in the direction of her with Noah's eyes following her anxiously. He was worried.
'Was she sick? I need to call the doctor.' He picked up his phone to make a call, when he hear Aria speak.
"Tch, tch, tch, tch. How easy it is to fool the great Noah. Oh I am so intelligent you know, I could trick the business king." She patted her back.
"You." Noah stood up at once and chased after her. However, she was closer to her room. She ran inside and closed it with a bang. When Noah tried to open the door, it was locked from inside.
"Aria, open the door." He banged on the door.
"And let the wolf in. No way."
"Aria you are not Little Red Riding Hood's grandma."
"I may not be the grandma. But definitely you are a wolf. You will eat me up if I open the door."
That was true in fact.
"I'll take care of you once you come out." Noah gave a devilish laugh. However, he did not get any reply from her.
