One Night Without Love
02 - Morning Panic

Jamie slowly opened his eyes as sunlight infiltrated through the gaps of the closed curtain.

Jamie's eyelids are so heavy, so heavy that it feels like he would rather just close them.

But Jamie regained his senses as his eyes scanned the ceiling of the room, clearly not the ceiling of the hotel room he had booked for the next five days.

Jamie also felt all over her body ache and was so hard to move.

Jamie's eyes were rounded as he peered at his plain body that was in a thick white blanket.

It was even more shocking when he turned his head and found the back of a man lying behind him.

Whose back is that?

"Yeah!"

The hysterical scream made the figure of the man who slept in the position of his back to Jamie jumped in shock.

Still in a semi-conscious state, the man directed his gaze towards the woman who was currently pulling the thick blanket in a state of panic.

Jamie quickly wrapped his innocent body in the blanket. But his eyes still did not let go of the man who finally rubbed his face to expel his drowsiness.

"Si-who are you?!" shout Jamie.

Jamie felt his body tremble, he really did not understand. How can he wake up in a foreign place, with a foreign man, and in a state of being naked?

"Why am I here?!" Jamie shouted back.

Jamie's trying to remember last night. He meets Julie at a nightclub, talking and complaining. Talk about Jamie's matchmaking plan issues with Jamie's super-colossal choice man.

Jamie was holding his head in complete pain as a result of being hit by this terrible reality.

It must be just a dream!

Nay! This must be just prank content!

Jamie circulated his gaze, looking around for if there were any hidden cameras currently filming.

"Oh God! What the hell's been going on?! What's been going on?!" jamie's full of panic.

Tears soon spread down wetting both cheeks. But Jamie quickly wiped away her tears. He must not look weak in front of the stranger.

"Hey, that should be me!" said the man in an arrogant tone.

"Who are you? And how did you get here?"

"What-what?!" Jamie flabbergasted.

The man inched down from the bed and took his clothes which were lying on the floor.

"Don't you be the intruder who broke into this room!" point the guy out.

"W-what?! I'm intruder? Oi! You don't make it up like that! I don't even know how I got here!" fierce Jamie.

The man still looked skeptically at Jamie.

"Where is Jemi?" ask the man.

"Jemi?" Jamie asked back.

"Yes! Where is Jemi?"

Jamie is back.

"Overnight I obviously spent the night with Jemi, and why is it now that foreign women like you are here?! Where is Jemi?!"

"W-what?! Spending the night together?!" Jamie called back.

I think he's really going to faint. It would be crazy if Jamie really spent the night with a stranger.

"Stop having a show! Quickly tell me where Jemi is?!"

"Hey, Dude! I'm not doing a show! I really don't know anything!" sergeant Jamie again.

"Ck! Stop testing my patience or I'll call the police to drag you right now!" threaten the man.

"What?! Police?!" Jamie's back on the line.

The man's arrogant attitude really provoked Jamie's emotions.

"Hey Dude! You don't get big heads huh! I'm not a cheap woman willing to spend the night with you! I should have reported the matter to the police!"

"Julie!" exciting Jamie. "Julie must know something!"

Jamie slumped down from the bed, enduring the pain she felt. Still trembling, his hands began to scavenge the pile of clothes that were lying on the floor.

"Tasku! Where's my bag?!" exciting Jamie.

"Ck! Can you stop yelling like that?!" sergeant the man stared cynically at Jamie.

Jamie snorted in annoyance, he chose to ignore the man.

The man took his smart device, walked towards the window to open the closing curtain.

Jamie was still trying to find his bag, he then fell silent, trying to remember where he last put it.

He was absolutely sure it was always next to him or he put it on the bartender's desk.

"Where's my bag?" ask Jamie.

" Oh no, this is really messed up!" lamented Jamie.

Jamie picked up his clothes and immediately ran to the bathroom.

As soon as she looked into the mirror, Jamie could see how terrifying her current appearance was.

His body was visibly covered in purplish bruises, especially around his chest and neck. Jamie's body immediately slumped with tears that instantly plunged freely without a hitch.

It's really worse than a nightmare.

...*****...

The man was pacing back and forth in front of the window with a smart device attached to his left ear.

"Hello, Jemi!" he said as soon as his phone was answered.

"Hi Jay, what's wrong?" answer the voice of the woman across there.

The man gulped his saliva, suddenly his throat felt choked.

"Where are you?" ask the guy named Jay.

"I'm in New York, oh, sorry Jay, last night I left in a hurry, so I forgot to tell you" the woman replied.

"There was a call of such a sudden competition" the woman continued.

The man was still silent, at a loss for his words.

"Jay, do you hear me?"

"Oh, ahem, yeah," replied the man again.

"Alright Jay, then I have to start my training session, see you."

Tut's.. Tut's.. Phone connection disconnected.

The man rubbed his face back with a huff.

"What have you done, Jay?!" full of disappointment.

Jay stared at the bed that was so tangled and disheveled.

On the floor were several bottles of alcohol which made him drunk lying empty. The alcohol that made her think that the woman she was sleeping with was really Jemi.

Jemima, the woman Jay has loved for a long time. A woman he can't have just because they've been friends for a long time. 

Jay really wants to have Jemima, even if he has to justify everything. Jay has made a plan and prepared everything. Jay's scenario was perfect, but apparently things didn't go according to plan.

The man Jay paid to kidnap Jemi, apparently brought the wrong man.

"We've been working as you requested. We followed a woman named Jemi, drugged her drink, and took her to the hotel room, exactly as you ordered."

That's what they say and now Jay really doesn't know what to do.

On top of the bed was a spot of bloodstains from the woman who was currently cleaning herself in the bathroom.

"Oh shit! Why is this so?!" jay growled while punching the air.
