On the photograph, they were hugging each other and smiling broadly. Their eyes show how much they love each other. Mera, on the other hand, is insecure and hurt.

*I wish you were hugging someone else instead of me. I wish you were madly in love with me. *I wish you could look at me the way you look at her. She has so many what ifs running through her head, but she knows it's impossible. Knowing that Ash adores the woman. She sighed again and looked at Ash, who was sound asleep.

Even when he's drunk and wasted, he's still very attractive and hot.

When Aunt Rose arrived with clothes in her arms, she continued to walk around looking at his room.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, honey, but I hope this fits you," she said as she handed her the clothes. "Go to the bathroom and change now," Aunt Rose added, and Mera was about to leave Ash room when she was stopped. "What are you going to do?"

"Um, to go change Auntie? Didn't you tell me earlier?" she inquired, perplexed. She doesn't always understand the woman.

"Yeah, and there's the Ash bathroom," Her Aunt said slimily, pointing to the Ash bathroom. Her pupils dilate. "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

She shook her head. "No, Auntie," she said, "but I'll just go straight to the guest room and change there." But the woman stopped her.

"I'm sorry, honey, but the guest room isn't available right now; we just started renovating it the other day and it's still not finished," the woman said, apologizing.

"Then where should I sleep?" she wondered, her heart pounding. Their home has only one guest room.

"Here. In Ash room." Her gaze returned.

"Auntie!" she exclaimed, shocked by what the woman had said.

"Why? It's not like you two are going to do something; I know you won't, and Ash drunk, so it's fine," she said, grinning broadly at her.

Aunt Rose was aware of her feelings for Ash, but she must continue to act as if they are unimportant.

"But it's still not right for me to sleep here. With him. In his bed. Together," she says, still unable to believe what the woman said to her.

"It's fine," the woman said as she looked at her wristwatch. "It's almost midnight. I should sleep now. You should also change and rest now, okay? Goodnight, honey." Mera was about to object when the woman abruptly left.

*Shit! So, what should I do next? *

She went to the bathroom and quickly took a bath. When she saw the clothes Ash mother had given her, she cursed under her breath. It's a lace trim solid color dress nighties in silver.

She cursed not because she wasn't used to wearing it; in fact, that's what she wears to sleep at her house, but wearing it here at Ash house is a different story. But she didn't have a choice at the time, so she wore it.

She exited the bathroom and turned to face Ash, who was still sleeping peacefully. She exhaled a sigh.

"Where should I sleep now?" she grumbled. "Should I sleep on the couch?" she mumbled once more. She shook her head. "Shit! I shouldn't have brought you home, asshole!" she exclaimed as she sat on the bed, staring at Ash.

She has no choice but to sleep next to him. She is also tired and exhausted, and she requires rest. She'll just get up early the next day so Ash doesn't see her.

She lay down slowly so as not to wake the man. It's strange to be lying in his bed. It feels good to her, and she enjoys the sensation. She was just staring at the ceiling, thinking about things, when she realized she had fallen asleep.

********

Mera awoke the next morning feeling amazing, as if she had been reborn. She felt as if she were in a completely different world. Her eye hasn't opened yet. She stretched her arm and was about to turn around when she felt a heavy weight in her stomach. She reached out her hand to touch the heavy object and was surprised to feel it was someone's feet.

She opened her eyes and was taken aback when she realized it was a person's feet. When she turned to face the owner of those feet, she was shocked to see its face and shouted in surprise, causing the man to awaken from his deep sleep.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

*Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! What exactly am I doing here? Shit! What am I doing in Ash bed? * She asked herself unconsciously, then remembered what happened the night before.

Ash sat up in his bed, his brow furrowed, and a look of irritation on his face. He hasn't opened his eyes since, so he hasn't seen her.

"What the fuck love? Why are you shouting so early in the morning? Should we go back to sleep?" He said, still not opening his eyes, as he drew her back onto the bed and hugged her tightly.

Mera was taken aback by his sudden action and was unable to move when he yanked her. She adored the sensation and idea of being in his arms and hugged by him. It was the first time they were that close, but when she regained consciousness, she struggled in between Ash arms.

Ash rubbed his eyes irritably. "What the fuck do you love?" Mera rolled her eyes when she heard Ash call her "love" again. He must have truly believed that he was currently with his girlfriend Jane.

"Actually, it's Mera," she said boredly.

"Hmm, yeah," he said, still not opening his eyes as if he understands what he's saying.

"Yeah?" She looked at him, perplexed.

Ash, on the other hand, opened his eyes and looked at her. He had a perplexed expression on his face and his gaze was fixed on her as if she had done something wrong to him.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" he yelled at her, pushing her so far away from his bed that she almost fell off.

"Hey! Can't you be a little gentler?" she asked, attempting to re-sit on his bed.

"I'm asking you what the fuck you're doing here? In my bed? With me? And in that fucking outfit of yours," he irritably yelled at her, which surprised Mera.

"Why are you yelling at me?" she asked, taken aback by his rage.
