8 The Unexpected Person

The next day, Alex was very excited to meet his gf. She asked her parents' permission for her to sleep over in her teammate’s place. Since her parents trust her, they always allow her to sleep over in her friend's house as long as she asks for their permission in advance.

She packed extra clothes and uniform. She has to attend her class the next day. She is strict when it comes to attending her classes. She never missed any class in the past even though she was sick. It is rare for her to be absent.

After preparing her stuff, she left her place and headed for school. She was busy the whole day. She never allowed her excitement to destruct her concentration in her classes.

At 4 pm, she got a message from someone. It was from the same phone number who sent her a message last night.

"I checked-in in Hush Motel downtown. I already told the receptionist that I'm expecting someone. You can come directly in room 305."

She felt happy to know that everything is already set. She thought of scolding her gf for skipping school to prepare for them to meet but instead of nagging her, she replied "I know the place. I can't wait to see you. Should I bring some food?".

"We can eat out after I eat you." The message said.

Alex can't help but smile. "I'll be there in an hour."

She is now in the library doing some of her assignment. In her estimate, she will be done in less than an hour.

At 4:25, she packed her things and left the library. She was almost running to go out from the campus and hailed a cab.

In the cab, she tried to phone the number, but no one answered so she dialed her gf's other number. The call was answered instantly.

"You finally remembered me! I was waiting for your message since Friday night. So, what is your excuse this time?" Her gf said sounding so angry at her.

She was confused with what she heard. Does that mean another person is waiting for her in the motel?

"I will call you later." Alex said before ending the call.

She began feeling nervous. Her heart started beating faster. What if it is one of her exes? Or maybe a serial killer? Something tells her not to go to the motel but a part of her is also curious who this person is. She cannot blame anyone but herself because it is her who assumed that it is her gf.

The taxi arrived in the motel. She got off the cab and went directly to the reception area. She wants to get some information about the person who checked-in in room 305.

"I'm here to meet someone in room 305." Alex said. She was hoping the receptionist would tell her about the gender of that person. If it is a woman, then she doesn.t have to worry about anything. If it's a man, then it's a sign for her to back out.

"Yes, ma'am. The room is now ready. Please use the stairs on the right." She said smiling which made Alex upset. The information is so general. She couldn't get any clue from what she said. She wanted to ask her for specific details, but it would prove that she doesn’t know who she is meeting. She doesn’t the receptionist to have a bad impression about her.

Alex feels so hesitant to go upstairs, but her feet dragged her. She is a curious type of person and she doesn't like to have regrets in her life.

She reached the third floor and looked for room 305. She turned left and the room is just next to the room in front of the stairs. She took a deep breath to gather the courage she needs. She knocked the door and after a few seconds, it was open by none other than Carlos. He is topless and half of his body is wrapped with an old-white towel. His hair is wet. It looks like he just got out from the shower room.

"What the heck are you doing here?!" Alex shouted.

Carlos grabbed her arm and pulled her inside the room before closing the door. He removed the towel wrapped in his body and wiped it with his hair. His naked body is now exposed to Alex. She couldn't help but stare at his body. This guy is hot. He has abs and his legs are muscular. Her stare got fixed to the middle part of his body.

"Do you like what you see?" Carlos said smiling who now hang the towel on a chair next to the bed. The room is so small. The bed is double-sized, and a wooden table and chair is placed right next to the it. On the opposite side is a table with an old tv on top.

"You should close your mouth. I thought you won't get attracted to my body since we are both men emotionally and mentally, right?" Carlos said who can't stop smiling. He then put on underwear and plain white shirt. After that, he turned the tv on before lying on the bed.

"Come here. We can cuddle the whole night." Carlos said.

Alex remained speechless. She wasn't expecting to see Carlos here and all the excitement she was feeling since last night vanished. She felt so shocked to say anything.

Carlos noticed it so he stood up, held Alex on her shoulders and let her sit down on the side of the bed. He sat down next to her and wrap her arm on her shoulder.

"What are you thinking? Are you scared of me? You should be." Carlos said. He now looks serious.

Alex spanked him on his head. It was a strong one which makes Carlos stood up.

"Why are you so violent?!"

"Why didn't you tell me that it was you?"

"I thought you have my phone number. I asked you to save it last Friday night."

Alex tried to recall what happened that time. She wanted to check whether he is telling the truth or not, but she couldn't recall anything.

"We were in the cafe and then you said we have to know each other's plan, so we exchanged phone numbers. You dialed your number in my phone. You can check you call history." Carlos explained when he noticed the confusion on Alex's face.

Alex started to remember what happened that time. She can't believe how stupid she was exchanging sweet messages to this sexually preoccupied man.

"I knew it. The endearment 'baby' was not meant for me. But I kind of like it. Maybe we should start calling each other 'baby'". Carlos said who is now back on the bed.

Alex didn't say a word. She felt embarrassed with her stupidity. It was her fault why she is in this situation. She wanted to leave but she thought it was already too late. She now feels nervous staying in this small room with Carlos. She felt something that she was not supposed to feel when she saw his naked body.

"You can take a shower so you will be ready." Carlos said with a smirk on his face.

Alex got the pillow closest to her and hit Carlos with all her energy. He didn't fight back. All she could hear was his laughter. When she felt that what she was doing doesn't affect him, she stopped.

"Take a shower so we can go out to look for food. I didn't mean anything. What were you thinking?" Carlos feels happy to see that Alex is so affected with what he is doing. He feels pleased that she is here beside him even though he knows it was not him that she wants to see.

Alex took her bag and went to the bathroom. The room is so small that she can't move comfortably. She doesn't know she is following what Carlos said. What she knows is she can't stand staying beside him for a long time. She cannot stand having some thoughts of being hugged by him. It can't happen to her. She shouldn't be confused with herself.

The bathroom doesn't have anything she needs. Good thing she is prepared. She brought some toiletries like shampoo and bath soap. She also brought her own towel. She took a shower as fast as she could. The bathroom gives her an eerie feeling and she doesn't like it. After taking a shower, she put on her clothes. She is now wearing jeans and sweatshirt.

When she went out from the bathroom, she found Carlos already sleeping on the bed. She can't help but admire the beauty in front on him.
