"

well this is my first fictional story, I still can't believe I finished since I always left them un finished . If you find time to read, I would really love to know what you think.

"
Chapter  1

Where the hell am I ? This is not my room , I am not in my apartment and definitively not my bed. Those are the first thoughts that come up to my mind when I open my eyes. I see yellow walls , brown furniture. I am afraid to turn my beck in the other side of the bed . What if someone is sleeping next to me? What have you done Ann? Oh yeah you got drunk as f**k last night. I only remember entering the bar drinking and leaving it but nothing more. But sooner or later I  have to turn around.
S**T! is the only word in my mind. Who is HE? How again did I ended up with him? I wish I could remembered it , but I don't I have a total black out. He seems pretty young,a simply boy with black hair, I can't see the eyes color since he is still sleeping next to me,a small nose,full lips, his weight and high seems the same as mine,his age hard to tell, looks definitively younger, I have a flashback a image of me being in his arms .And the most important question what happened last night? What if I just grab my things and  disappear before he wakes up, but in wich  hotel in the city am I? Do I really want to know what happened, the thing is my mind create a story already in my head, I am not naked but wearing my underwear on does not really mean that nothing happened, and the thought that a stranger saw me naked or half naked, scares me, he doesn't look like naked but I can't see it he is under the blanket. I knew I was going to regret for drinking that much, the worst thing that could happen last night was we got laid , but no it could have been worst I mean I could have been killed and  dead right now but it didn't happened I just wish somehow it did because I wouldn't feel so ashamed to ask and talk about it when he wakes up.I slowly move my feet from the bed to the floor ground. I see the red dress I was wearing last night on. My black high heels. I don't see his clothes but maybe they are in the other side of the room.I turn my beck so I don't see him. I'm wearing my dress as....

Good morning!
I tremble for a minute his ''good morning'' scared me a bit. I turn in front of him. I finally see his eyes, black beautiful eyes , for two second I get lost .
Good morning! with this I hope he is going to say something next it doesn't matter just something, so I can ask what i wanna know).
How you feeling?
I am... hmm. I don't know. And you?
I am fine and slept well , thank you for asking.
Listen, who are you?
So you don't remember ?
Not really.
Who are you? he asks.
well the possibility that I didn't told him my name was 70% I was drunk, but what if I came in the hotel somehow and he as well we just ended in a room together, I feel like he knows what happened, but why the f**k is he playing with me , doesn't he think how I must be thinking right now, not knowing anything from last night
So I haven't told yah '' I am no one'' . And you?
Nice to meet you no one. Try to remember my name or just guess it ? he smiles.
Damn , I can't remember his name or anything, can you just not tell , can't you see how I suffer to know the truth.
I don't know , your age confuses me.
Why how old do I look like? he smiles again.
I am starting to think he likes the game he is playing.
Sixteen!
I am sixteen , nice to meet yah.
Wtf? But his answer makes me laugh .
Oh really, I am in a room with a sixteen year old boy. Great.
Yeah,you look exactly as your age. Last night was.... and then he doesn't say a word.
Was what ? I dare myself to ask.
On fire he answers.
Oh no no no no . We did?
s**t Anna , seriously? Great? You don't remember anything, beside of the fact of his age you could go to jail? 
 
Oh come on, how can you not remember that , how could you forget how I made you feel? - he starts laughing loud.
In a crazy way I wanna laugh as well in that moment but I don't . I just give him a cold look.
Come to the bed.
No- I answer.
We had already sex so let me at least tell you everything.
You already told me what I wanted to know, I don't wanna any details .
Just sit in the bed.
ok.
I am again in the bed , like I was this morning, a few minutes ago I was sleeping next to him).
I Fooled you. We didn't.
I breath in and out. I don't feel like released, I don't why but I almost feel sorry we didn't. What the f**k  am I thinking? How can I think like that?
Can you tell me what happened? How we ended up here, please?!
Sure, you run into the same street I was, you almost hit me with a bottle, the bottle broke, you were barely walking, I noticed you were drunk, I said here is my luck to get laid and then I wanted to help you. I asked you where you lived, you didn't said a word. So I took you to a hotel near, and carried you to the bed where we slept, thats all.
His smile is so addictive.
We didn't had a conversation or something?
You mention a name.
I give him a beg look to continue telling me more.
You said Giovanni is an a*s. Is he the reason why you have been drinking? Your boyfriend , ex or someone you like?
Why the hell did I said that, oh yeah now I remember he texted me last night.Oh means I had a phone and my bag.Well the truth is I just wanted to get drunk for the first time in my life, like many other things I haven't done for the first time yet but Kate couldn't join me , so I said who the f**k?Just go and get drunk.
No, he isn't . Did I had a bag with me?
yeah, its on the chair.
I take my bag, my purse and the phone are still in. I turn my phone on, I have fifty calls , twenty messages from Katy, and one again from Giovanni.I text fast Katy a message ''I'm fine, don't worry .''
I guess I had luck with the part ''that you changed your mind about getting laid'' you could have steal my bag or murder me.
He starts laughing. No I wasn't sure how much money you had with you, you didn't looked rich and the murder stuff well perfect murder don't exist so jail wasn't on my mind .
You paid the room? I mean I'll give you the money back.
Sure you will.
Well thank you.
What's the story of the wounds in your beck?
wait he saw them? oh yeah i was on my underwear when I woke up. you saw me half naked? Did you undressed me?
I did. You didn't answer my question.
I was my own karma.
you were what?  who did that to you?
I did it, I mean I payed someone to do it. I took my own karma in my own hands.
You are telling me you punished yourself, that's not karma that's called SH (selfharm) in this case paid.
I am not going to argue with you about what I believe, you are only sixteen. Anyways shouldn't you have been home to your parents last night?
Not really.
Children nowdays, at your age my nose was on a book, and I should have turn back home before midnight.
Haha well I am boy.
Oh yeah I forgot you can do whatever whatever you want.
we hear a knock on the door and than a voice'' room service''.
Are we going to open the door?
you are no one open it.
Good morning Ma'am you need anything?
Good morning, yeah I want a coffee and toast.
hey sixteen you want anything?
the same.
ok it will be soon here.
thank you.
I close the door again.
well somebody just saw me in a hotel room and who would believe that I Hadn't slept with him if i told anyone I spend the night on a hotel room.But I always kept my own secret well.
Ten minutes later someone knocks again. The guy from the room service brings the food in.
Ma'am we need to know if you wanna stay longer since it hasn't been told how long you gonna stay.
I don't know , well I think we will be leaving.
okay just need to sign something before you leave. you have to talk to our receptionist .
yeah okay.
good day. He closes the door.
The food is here. Here you go sixteen.
Bon apettit!
To  you too.
We start eating.
Strange , it doesn't even feel weird strange  being around him.I can't look him at his eyes, I am scared I get lost, or I blush.
You wanna have some fun? he asks.
Yes.
Did I just said that  loud and without  overthinking.
Good but we have to stay one more night here.
What kind of fun? Are you trying your luck again? I smile
No. Not that luck. You will see. I will be back tonight .
Okay I just go and pay the room. I say I'll stay another night.
He opens the door and leaves me alone in the room.
Why did I said ''yes'' I mean, I don't even know to what I said ''yes'' could be anything, well but I think I will be able to control every situation . Yeah and then I remember last night , you control that perfect as well, you got drunk and couldn't remember a damn thing. Was it a bad or a good idea> And what is he thinking , she said yes simply like that? He probably thinks I would say Yes to everyone, why do I even care what he may think about me.  I text Kate telling her I won't be home another night.
She is calling.
Ann where the hell are you? I was worried about you.
I know I am sorry, I am visiting a friend. Don't worry.
Wich one?
oh come on Kate don't be like my mother. You don't know the friend
For God sake Ann, I just care .
I know, honey, but don't I am fine. I love you. I'll see  you tomorrow again.
OK. Love you too. Take Care. See Yah, Bye.
I remember I have to pay the room. I open the door, I see doors next to where I am , a large floor, room 22 . well I must be on the second floor . I go downstairs and find the reception.
Good day Ma'am how can I help you?
I am from room 22, we will stay another night.
Sure , that would be 45$
I take my purse and handle to the receptionist 45$. Here you go.
 Will it be just this night or more?
No , just this one. We will leave tomorrow.
Alright.
Thank you for staying in our hotel.
Can I ask you in wich name have we check in yesterday?
Jung Ma'am.
oh well thank you. Thats all.
enjoy your stay.
Is that his name or last name, maybe nickname , who knows...
I am outside the hotel, I recognize the street , I am 30 minutes away from my apartment.I turn back to the hotel, take the stairs and enter in my room. I think I will take a nap.  I lay on the bed and try to sleep.
it's 9 p.m when I woke up, I found myself alone in the room.
maybe he isn't coming who knows. Maybe he changed his mind.
I think I will order something to eat. I usually don't eat after 6 p.m but I decide to break my own rule, since I only eaten in the morning. I hope the resturant  of the hotel still works. I go downstairs , right to the resturant .
Can I order something in my room or do I have to eat only here?
No Ma'am we can take whatever you order to the room.
I forgot I ordered in the morning as well. Well two Margaritas , two mixed salades, and one bottle of water. that's all. Room 22. How much?
That's 20$ Ma'am.
Here you go. Thank you.
we will be there in a few minutes.
It's 9:15 p.m, when I return to my room and he is still not here.
Maybe I should take I shower but then I remember I have the same stupid short red dress I had last night on, and that I haven't been to the apartment for new clothes. I don't even have make up with me and my hair is a mess. But well. He probably changed his mind. I was curios to know what he meant with ''some fun''.
I call Kate on the phone.
Hey Ann.
Hey. what you doing ? have you eaten anything yet? I already missed seeing you cooking for me . almost two days.
haha Ann.Yes I have eaten. I am fine and you?
Not yet but I will eat. Fine as well. Did your day went well?
yeap it was fine. How is your friend?
She is catching up later.
Oh, okay have fun.
Thanks, see you in the morning. Good night!
Good night Ann!
Someone is knocking on the door. Probably the boy from the room service with my food.
I open the door. it's him. He got a shoulder back with him.
Sorry it took me longer than I thought. You are ready for some fun ?
Come in. I order food. Have you eaten anything?
I did.
You gonna eat anyway since I ordered .
Ok mom.
Am I really that old looking?
No but you sounded like my mom.
Oh okay.
We have to wait till the food comes.
Knock, knock, room service.
I open again the door, this guy bring the food in, he is looking at sixteen for a couple minutes, probably asking himself what we are to each other. And the he just leaves.
close the door with the key . He says.
ok! I close the door.
he is laying on the floor.
come on join me.
I take the food from the table, and place it on the floor.
He takes something from his bag. Some paper and  plastic bag with something brown on it.
S**t is that preparation for ?
He smiles. Come on say it.
A joint? Seriously?
Don't give me that look?
What look ? I ask.
The ''you are a junky look ''. I am not .
No I am just shocked.
Listen I will leave if you ask me to do it. And you don't have to do anything you don't want.
First alcohol then a joint my mom would kill me. That not the nice daughter she raised.  I always thought drugs I wouldn't take, but as crazy as it sounds I wanted to kill every perception I had about it one my mind. But what If I can't control things while I am on that state?
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
(His Sure sounds like he is annoyed
).
It's probably not your first one and I don't wanna understand why. But I must confess I am a little bit scared of what could happen.
You don't know what can happen,but its not that scary as you think. Everything is just in your mind. What could be the worst thing that could happen tonight for you?
I could get a heart attack , or I could panic and attack you or something.
Not to mention I could end up having sex with you, wich in a weird way I wouldn't mind if it wouldn't be my first time , and well to remember the first time on drugs,I don't know...
Haha! You seriously haven't tried it in your life, I thought you were playing me. I am sure I can protect myself. Plus you got to remember everything  you do, it's not alcohol. But like I said I leave if you ask me to it.
No, okay
... funny as it sounds. I only wanna allow him to see me in a state I wouldn't allow anyone to see me. Beside of that I trust him and I  don't know even why.
Say it? and he start laughing
Say what?
When I was sixteen ...
oh ok teens Nowdays lost their minds, when I was sixteen I played with Yu-Gi-oh cards or just read a book I reply.
He takes his phone and puts music on. He throws the cannabis into the letter and roll it.
You want first?
Professional first . I answer.
He lights it up .And starts rolling the second joint.
 Am I really going to smoke a whole joint? what if I just do it half? it's a hard smell. Awful.
It may take more than some breaths to get in, since it's your first time.Take your time.He handels it to me with the packet
I just light it up. And takes some breaths.

From then I can not describe the way I felt with words, sometimes too much , too little, I can not describe what I've seen , but a new world , a new experience for sure. Do I would want to repeat that state I am not sure. I do remember also this terrible desire to kiss him. But I know that in my mind and heart I  wanted to kiss him without being on drugs. But I didn't . It was almost.

Why are your four feet away from me , I wasn't going to do anything. he laughs.
I Know,but I was so I need distance .

We laughed on everything we said,not that it wasn't that funny  and I don't remember when I laugh the last time like that. And then we got quite experiencing our own maybe different worlds.After some hours the effect of a joint lost the power. I felt sleepy . He was on the opposite side of the room , where I left him when I distance myself not to kiss him. His eyes are closed, not sure if he felt asleep or its still on the ''high'' state.

Hey sixteen, lets go to the bed.
I think I sleep on the floor.
No, it's a double bed, I don't want you to catch cold.
Ok lets go to the bed.

Didn't took us long to fall asleep that night.
it's Monday 7 a.m when I wake up to shut the stupid alarm phone clock I forgot to turn off. He is still sleeping, I don't know if I should wake him up or not if he has school or works or anything, I forgot to ask last night. I feel dizzy a bit but still fine.
Still laying on the bed watching the yellow walls of the room .Universe, I hate that color.
Morning!
Morning!
How you feeling?
I never slept better . I reply.You?
Good, I should be leaving now.
OK. I should be in college as well. It was an interesting evening.
Same.
we shake hands. too formal. But still, we don't ask about names , contacts or anything.

As he leaves the room , I feel like he is taking a part of me with him. I feel changed in a way, but not because he tried to change me, because I did. He doesn't feel like a stranger to my heart but of course the heart fucked me a couple of times so.  I call Kate on the phone tell her I'll be coming home.

Yo lost sexy red dressed girl where have you been ? Kate asks as she opens the door of our apartment.
lost, lost, lost and now found- I smile.
yeah smile, smile and I was worrying to death about you, I felt guilty I wasn't out with you to take care of you.
I am fine , you see, standing in front of you.
Yeah I see now.
Come in , you have to catch up with your studies.
oh wait , I study haha. oh no I have seminar today. oh hell.
I can tell you the details of the book if you haven't time to read the book.
Wich book should we have read this week again ? -i ask
Anna Karenina.
Kate , no need to tell me anything I have read that book. It saved my life in a way, speaking of Anna Karenina , Giovanni wrote again.
He didn't? Never ever? What an a*****e. How you feeling?
I feel sorry. honestly I feel nothing.
Good, your morning break fest is ready
.
I'LL take a shower first and then I eat haha I love you. I have the best bestfriend on the universe.
I know you do. And she knows she is the best.

I took the shower,eaten breakfest , went to my college with Kate and then for a coffee. In the evening I am outside watching the start with a cigarette and a book in my other hand.   I could swear I saw a star falling from the sky. I closed my eyes and made a wish that night. '' That he would cross my path one more time''.
