The Twin Bed (Wrong Bed)
A Mystery

That's fine, where might I go with Edrick. Don't you know I hate Edrick so much?"

"Yes, as far as I am like that. But my thinking suddenly changed when I was looking for you, and a club steward told me last night that you seemed so familiar drinking with Edrick at the club after I left you alone. Oh yeah, not only that, even one of the hotel room cleaners told me that when Edrick drove you into the room last night, did something happen to you? Do you have a relationship with Edrick? Or are you dating already?"

"Don't just talk and accuse me like that, Alice. I can't date or have a relationship with Edrick, don't you know I hate him so much?"

"So you think the nightclub service and the hotel attendant lied to me? Is it possible that two people working in different places could talk the same thing about you and Edrick? It's so strange" Alice said with a question mark.

"Oh.. E. actually, this is Alice. When you left me last night, Edrick suddenly came to me and apologized for everything he did to me. So, as a good woman, I accepted her apology and warmed up to her by having her chat with me for a while."

"What you mean by talking is drinking with Edrick, right?"

Caitlyn was just grimacing. "Understanding Alice, I drank alcohol to throw off the fatigue in my mind. Don't you know that I'm feeling very stressed with my life right now."

"Yes, you don't have to tell me anymore, I'm sick of your surrogate mother's crazy idea. Now what I want to ask you is about Edrick driving you into your hotel room, right, you're not doing anything out of bounds, are you?"

"My God, Alice, why are you asking me that?"

"Cat, are you stupid or pretending to be stupid? Didn't you know that someone who's under the influence of alcohol can do things out of bounds, including you and Edrick."

"So you think me and Edrick are doing something out of bounds?"

"Maybe, it could have happened because you just disappeared this morning."

"Yes, it seems so."

"It's better to throw away your curiosities because I can't possibly do something like that. You heard the announcement, Alice, it's time to get on the plane, you better save your prejudice because you have to help me find a surrogate mother for me in New Jersey."

"That's it again" Alice grumbled as she walked away from Caitlyn.

'Sorry Alice, I can't say what happened between me and Edrick, I really wanted to forget the bad thing that had happened between me and Edrick because remembering it was so painful for me. I was so stupid and so careless to let another man touch my body just like that, but Jeff was so loyal to me, I'm sure he must have never done the stupidity I've done by touching another woman other than myself, ' Caitlyn muttered as she walked behind Alice out of the waiting room.

Caitlyn then held onto her chest because she felt such an erratic feeling. 'Surrogate mother, I hope I can find you. Surrogate mother, please help me maintain the dignity of my household, ' muttered Caitlyn back while holding her chest as she felt her heartbeat thumping more and more.

Amber is now standing next to the window gazing at the bright colors of the star-studded summer night sky.

'Lord, please give me your lead, what should I do if I meet Caitlyn tomorrow at the event? Do I really have a bond with Caitlyn? Do we actually have a blood relationship? Or is it the resemblance to our faces due to mere coincidence? But how could two people who had no blood relation possibly have such a similar face? Ah this really doesn't make sense to me. But I can't make any conclusions because I haven't met Caitlyn either. All this feels so mysterious to me. I should not think too much because this is not good for the health of the baby in my womb. Besides, it's late, I better get some sleep now, ' Amber murmured.

He then stepped onto the bed in the room, but suddenly his heart felt something that felt so strange to him.

'Why is it like someone is calling me? Surrogate mothers? Why did these words suddenly cross my mind just like that when my feelings were so uncertain? Ah, what is this feeling? Caitlyn, are you the one who called me in your heart? Do you need my help, Cat?' amber murmur
