You woke up, feeling Alhaitham's naked chest moving up and down against your cheek as he breathed. You sat up.

"Mmmn... what time is it..." Alhaitham mumbled, tugging on your arm.

You were in your undergarments and he was in his boxers with the hotel's white blanket covering the both of your warm bodies. You glanced out the window looking at the break of dawn, your ass and legs sore.

You bit your lip, as you feel the familiar, uncomfortable feeling in your gut again.

"Dunno, about 4:30 I guess." You answered.

Alhaitham hummed and went back to sleep, not noticing that you've already crawled out of the bed and walked in the bathroom.

It's complicated. You brushed your teeth in a daze, staring at your pale, unhealthy complexion through the mirror.

Your love for Alhaitham was extremely one-sided. You were no more than his fuck buddy who knows nothing.

Well you knew one thing; you're no less than a friend, but no more than a fling that he fucks every once in a while.

You spat out the toothpaste, gargled water, washed your face, put on skincare, and makeup.

Alhaitham walked in the bathroom and grabbed the other toothbrush in silence.

The two of you silently did your business.

"Are you going to work right after?" You started a conversation as he spits out his toothpaste.

"Yeah, I'm going to finish up some documents here."

"Rare of you to say that. You're not a morning person at all."

Alhaitham shrugged but then chuckled slightly, combing his hair with his fingers causing you to blush.

"Because someone keeps me up all night." He smirks and leaves the bathroom.

You gave him a small smile, but the uncomfortable feeling you always had after sex with him crawled right back at you.

The two of you were in your robes, sitting on the hotel bed, Alhaitham smoking a cigarette while you looked at your feet.

"Can we maybe.. talk?" You spoke quietly as he diverted his attention to you.

"Yeah?"

You looked at him with pursed lips.

"I don't think.. I can continue.. going on like this.." You mumbled.

"Why not?" Alhaitham said an breathes out a good amount of smoke.

You stared at him, the morning sunrise illuminating his face. His robe was slightly parted showing his will sculpted figure.

"I don't about you but.. I don't think I want to continue meeting up at the hotel anymore.." You said, shifting awkwardly.

Alhaitham flicked his cigarette and turned to you, sitting a little closer to you.

"Why not? We've already been doing it for a while."

"I feel sick... and I want to settle down." You looked at him in the eye and put your hand on his, lowering his hand that held the cigarette.

"If it's about me smoking, I can quit." He said and shrugged.

"No.. it's not.." You bit your lip.

"Then what's the matter, hm?" He looked at you with endearing eyes.

You don't reply and fiddle with your fingers. It was hard to tell him since you weren't sure of it yourself either. You loved him, and at first was ecstatic to be his partner at night, but it didn't take long for you to become sick of it. You were no porn actress, no fling. But.. it's him...

"No answer huh?" Albaitham breathed in his cigarette again and gently linked his mouth on yours.

The burning and suffocating smoke went down your throat as you breathed out, smoking coming out of your lips too.

Alhaitham loosened his robe and gently grabbed your chin, gently peppering kisses all over your face.

"Stop... I-I don't think it's right..." You whined, grabbing his wrist, but he didn't oblige.

"Why not?" He stared at you with a little frown and wide eyes.

You blushed and hesitated to speak before he slid your robe off as well, showing your upper torso. He gently grabbed your shoulder and leaned in, kissing your neck, collarbone, then breasts.

"N-No..." You mumbled and gasped quietly.

"Just let me do you right now.. you did such a good job last night, I just can't wait to praise you.." He said, moving onto your nipples, lapping on them with his tongue at a horribly quick speed.

"Nngh... n-no... please.." You whimpered, shaking your head intensely.

Alhaitham took your pleads as a green light and gently pushed you on the bed.

"No, don't.."

"Why not? It's 4 in the morning... the city's still asleep.."

"We need to talk."

"Are you afraid of falling in love with me?" He said, trailing his fingers in circular motions on your heart.

You kept silent as your heart swirled but then replied, "No."

"Then why can't we see each other anymore? We're both single..." He said, kissing your belly.

"Alhaitham, enough, let's talk it out. I don't want to be touched right now." You said sternly, sitting back up.

He sighs and grabs another cigarette, lighting it up and sticking it in his mouth.

"What is sex to you..?" You quietly asked.

"Something divine.. hot.. I guess.." He said, puffing out the smoke.

"What about affection? Is sex a treasured, affectionate process to you?"

Alhaitham thought about it and nodded.

"Well.. I guess? Not that it's anything special though.."

Your heart cracked even though you already know the answer.

"Then what's sex to you?" Alhaitham looked at you and puffed out more smoke.

"Me? I guess.. something sacred... affectionate.. with someone I want to do it with.. but what would I know.." You grinned bitterly, "you're my first."

Alhaitham raised his eyebrows.

"That's why I think it's time for us to call it quits.." You mumbled.

"Well I guess you just have to get used to it? It'll be fine, I promise.." Alhaitham said lowly.

There was an awkward silence.

"Hey.. do you have the slightest feelings for me.. or anyone?" You said quietly.

"Dunno. Just tryna get through the day." He puffed out another puff of smoke.

"So what does our sex mean to you?"

"Something convenient."
