Chapter 13 Keep this one for real

The next morning, the heavy rain had stopped and sun had began to rise. Sun rays were peeking from the window to the room. Graham snuggled closer with his eyes still shut but his hands were searching for Luna in all corners of the bed. He failed to find her and opened his eyes only to find the next space vacant and he immediately got up. He walked towards the bathroom but she was not there. He wrapped himself in a thick grey bathrobe and made his way towards the living room and kitchen but didn't see her. Now he was beginning to worry. He searched for his cellphone and called Vikram who entered the Villa immediately since he had reached long time ago.

"You're searching for the lady?" he asked and Graham raised his eyebrows in question urging him to continue. "I found her leaving in the morning all panicking. I just understood what transpired in the night," smirked Vikram. He knew Graham's tricks very well. Graham released a sigh and said,"You should have called me Vikram." "Call you? How would I have known that you still wanted to have sex early in the morning?" "It's not that Vikram. I wanna keep this one for real," he said. "Really? Why? I didn't see anything extra ordinary," Vikram was surprised because this was not Graham at all. But when he gave it much thought, he thought that maybe Graham enjoyed sex with her and that's all. "That's exactly the point Vikram. Because she's not like the others. Contact that company and get to know where she was allocated to sleep I'm sure it provided those services. Her name is Luna." "And the second name?"asked Vikram. "I don't know. I only know Luna." Vikram excused himself to contact the agency leaving the frustrated Graham all by himself in the living room.

Luna had just reached Apex hotel and entered her room. She immediately prepared a warm bath and immensed her whole body in the tub. She was so sore everywhere especially between her thighs. She couldn't believe what happened. How she had her first time with a person she met overnight. A person who had such a reputation concerning women. But nonetheless, she didn't regret it and given the opportunity, she knew she would do it again. She remembered when she woke up this morning with him so close and how his body was warm. She stared at his face as if memorising each feature. She wanted to sketch his handsome face with her fingers but feared to wake him up. She left the bed slowly and dressed up before going downstairs, collected her things and stormed out of the Villa.

Oh her way out, she found Mr Vikram and she felt ashamed of how he may perceive her. But he didn't seem surprised at all seeing her leaving in the morning which somehow calmed her heart a bit but at the same time it made her heart ache because it showed that he was used to seeing different girls spend the night here. He just waved at her with a small smile and she returned it relieved that he didn't start a conversation.

Luna decided to leave Graham's Villa in the morning because she didn't want to hear Graham telling her that it was a one night stand for him. She therefore decided to leave things as they were because for her, last night were the memories she would always cherish.

She had also left because she didn't want him to be with her out of pity or guilt that he had taken her virginity. She didn't want him to be with her because he felt like he had to take responsibility for what happened last night. She wanted him to be with her only when it's what he wanted. She therefore thought that she made it easy for him by removing herself from the equation to avoid burdening him.

And if he ever comes to her by himself, all the uncertainties will vanish and accept him wholeheartedly.

After taking a bath, Luna looked at her naked body in the mirror and sighed. It was covered with hickeys everywhere. From her neck, her chest, her breasts, her stomach, her thighs, her back everywhere. And somehow she liked them if at all they were imprinted by him. She dried her body and dressed up making sure to cover the marks. She had made up her mind to fly back in Sun City due to the turn of events. Somewhere she had a tiny hope that he would come looking for her after all the great Graham Cullen would never fail to find someone if he really wanted to. But somehow she knew that she was day dreaming and had to know her place.

Graham was getting more frustrated every passing second, he was already dressed prepared for the journey but Golden times was saying that they didn't have any employee called Luna. "Maybe she lied to you Graham," said Vikram. Graham's face turned darker and he glared at him. "She's not a liar. Luna is her name. Call them again and ask them the hotel where the journalist who came to interview me sleeps." And Vikram did just that. After ten minutes the agency called back and said," She is Bella Edwards. She sleeps in Apex hotel and her stay over there is valid for a week. Is there anything wrong Mr Vikram?" "No please we just want to reward her." Vikram hang up and since the phone was on speaker, Graham heard everything. He immediately stood up and said," Let's head to Apex hotel."
