Chapter 3

I felt light hit my eyelids irritating me enough to wake up. I open my eyes to see that I'm in an unfamiliar room. My body shot up with alertness in fear of what happened. My body was too quick to fall back down as pain spiralled up spine."What the fuck happen?"I try to remember but it seems that I drank too much to recall last night, I push myself harder causing me to have a headache. I slowly get up from the bed to seeing my strap-on laying on the drawer then a note saying ' Thanks for not leaving a woman unsatisfied. Ps, I paid for the room in gift of what you did.' Damn, the fuck? I walk over to the mirror and turned around to seeing a bloody bandage covering my back."Did she, they, who ever I had sex with do this?" But how?I look around the room to seeing no one, Fuck this shit let me just get ready for work. I found my bag which had spare clothes and started to do my usual routines. Brush my teeth, shower, cream, do my hair then dress up. I left the bathroom in search of my phone only to see it on charge."Whoever I slept with must really be a sweetheart." I hope.Standing in an oversized black shirt and black trousers I picked up my phone to seeing what I didn't expect. 13 miss calls from the crew and IT'S WAY PASS THE TIME I START WORK. Panic starts to settle in telling me to leave immediately thus I grabbed my shit, put on my shoes and booked it. I returned the key and thanked the receptionist to running to the car park. I spotted my quickly and began making my way to the studio.On the way I receive a call from one of the crew members, thankfully my phone is connected to the car thus I was able to pick it up safely."Yo?""Y/N! WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU?!""listen I have no clue of what happened yesterday, one moment I'm at the club next I'm in a hotel with wounds on my back.""Wounds? ARE YOU OKAY?""Yeah, I'm on my way now, I'll be at the studio shortly.""You better hurry."~Click~I increased my speed to try and shorten the time it'll take for me to get there.During the wait I played music to help calm me down. Shortly I made it and quickly parked.I ran into the studio and into the hall to see the crew looking at me disappointed."And here she is!""I am so sorry for being late, I thought my alarm was on.""What happened though?""I can't even remember, one moment I'm at the club next I'm waking up alone in a hotel room."They all looked at me wide-eyed."So did u?""Yeah, they wrote a note saying thanks for the great time. But the thing is I didn't drink because I brought my car.""I'm confused, how did u forget?""Exactly, this person destroyed my back with claw marks and they're quite deep.""I- I don't want to hear anymore."I laughed at the crew's reaction and began stretching a bit so I can get into the choreography faster. Shortly after the music began and we got into position feeling the music to performing the moves as we've been practicing. The song chosen was 'The baddest' by Akali, I can't lie I love the song but I don't really stan her and her group, hopefully I'll do so in the future but I just haven't attached onto their music yet. We moved in sync as the beat was hammering through our ears, but some of my movement was slightly limited due to the claw marks on my back, I winced as the stinging feeling strikes my nerves.The crew asked me if I'm alright but I proceeded to tell them that everything is okay. I can't miss a day or else I'm far behind. As the song comes to a close I'm left standing in the middle of the positions flexing my right arm following Akali's final lines. When it's over I take deep breaths with my arms behind my head to take in more air.

"Fuck that was a lot"

"Yeah. You sure you're okay though?""Yep, just one more song then we're done for today before we go into solos.""I can't wait for the solos! They're amazing to do""Mmmh but they can be stressful to make.""You've got a point Y/n."I thank my fellow member before going to take a drink of water. Thankfully this studio has water fountains so we're good. Once I've made it there I can feel the cool liquid touch my lips as I began drinking from the source.When I finishes I got up and placed my back on the wall. I can't help but to think back to yesterday, my mind still jogs to find out what exactly happened but there's no answer. It's as if the memory was taken out of me."Fuck it. I can't be stressing over a one night stand."I head back to the hall. This was a newer song... More of a newer mix actually. This is going to be a longer dance to perform which kind of makes me annoyed, I have to deal with this pain for 15-20 minutes and get the moves on point.As the mashup plays we listen to it at first before setting up choreography, mainly to just get a feel but already some of us started coming up with ideas.4 hours go by and it's the end of work. I didn't want to move my body due to so much exhaustion but I really needed to get home. I say my goodbyes to the team before heading to my car, and by the time I get in it one word comes to my mind.

Sleep

I just want to rest on my bed and close my eyes. I get my car started and began my journey home, thankfully it's not a long drive so I got back in little time. I hastily opened my door and kicked it back, a wave of tiredness hits my body so I got to my usual night routines. After changing into comfortable clothes I dropped onto my bed and felt my eyes drooping to shut.

However, within my dark blurry visions I can make out a woman with golden eyes that look like the hunt for lust, that was the only thing I captured before I pass out to a deep sleep.
