After that day, Alex kept persuading me to give the
mysterious gentle man a call to at least show my
appreciation. I initially refused but after much pressure, I reluctantly gave Kennedy a call. Little did I know that he was the man for me.
Our relationship began as a friendship, gradually
involving a romance that led to us getting married. All
this happened within six months. A desire that had
remained unfulfilled throughout my five years
relationship with Daniel.

Now, caught in a dilemma between going to Daniel or
having him come meet me in my hotel room, my heart raced with uncertainty, anxiousness, and restlessness in fear of the possible outcome of either of the options. I rejoined my girls struggling to concentrate on the
festivities. Suddenly, a message from Daniel popped up on my phone screen. I anxiously opened the message while ensuring my privacy.

“You have six minutes more,” The message read.
Seeing this, my heart sank yet, I quickly feigned a smile at my girls concealing the tumult within.
With time slipping away, I faked a phone call and left
my hotel room. And without thinking, I navigated the
hallway in search of room 112 while cautiously ensuring that I wasn’t been followed.
Before I knew it, I stood before Daniel’s hotel room, a
decision spurred by curiosity, recklessness, and an
undeniable residual affection.

With a deep breath, I summoned the courage to knock
on his door, my heartbeat racing in rhythm with my
knuckle’s contact with the wood.
Shortly after, the door swung open revealing Daniel
whom I last saw six months ago. He was looking hotter and more charming than usual and this, strangely
reignited the feelings and desires I thought had long
faded within me. Gazing into his eyes, my
consciousness was immediately flooded with memories of all the passionate and pleasurable nights and
embraces we shared. I was lost and trapped in the
world of my imagination when his voice suddenly
snapped me back to reality.

“Hey.., hey..,” He called snapping his fingers at my face
“Huh?,” I startled shaking off the dreamlike haze that
had momentarily consumed me.
“What were you thinking? Hurry on and come in before somebody sees you,” He said urging me to come in.
Oh, yes. I had almost forgotten that being seen with
him can ruin my chances of getting married. And with
haste, I stepped into the room and he abruptly shut the door behind me.
“So, what did you want to discuss?” I immediately
asked turning to him with my arms crossed defensively.
