as the night waned, Michelle found Anntonia sleeping on her shoulder.

Michelle just enjoy staring at Anntonia's face and thinking about the confession earlier.

"Is she really have feelings for me, or she was just drunk? Hello? She really love Celeste, and there's no way after one week ago of telling me about Celeste, she already have moved on, that fast? No.." Michelle thought of herself feeling confused.

A few minutes ago, Michelle concerned for Anntonia, and decided to just bring Anntonia to her hotel, since it was more nearer than, Rhian's house.

Michelle gently guided Anntonia out to the lively party and went through her car, then made their way back to the hotel.

On reaching the hotel, Michelle slipped an arm around Anntonia's waist to steady her as they made their way into the hotel lobby.

The bright lights, sparkling chandeliers, and plush furnishings of the hotel made for a stark contrast to the bustling, chaotic energy of the city outside.

Anntonia leaned heavily against Michelle, her eyes fluttering closed as they made their way towards the elevators.

The elevator ride was a quiet one, the soft hum of the music in the background enveloping them as they ascended to their floor.

Michelle supported Anntonia as they made their way to the room, slipping the key card into the slot and shouldering the door open.

Michelle carefully guided Anntonia into the room ensuring that she was settled on the soft mattress with a warm blanket draped over her.

Michelle had intended to retreat to the couch for the night, not wanting to make things more complicated.

"Goodnight." Michelle said and kiss Anntonia's forehead.

But as she turned to leave, she felt a gentle tug on her wrist.

"Don't go," Anntonia murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Stay with me, Dee."

Michelle hesitated, looking down at Anntonia's peaceful, sleeping form.

She knew that Anntonia would likely not remember much in the morning, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness over Anntonia.

With a small, resigned smile, she slipped out of her shoes and carefully settled herself on the edge of the bed, making sure not to disturb Anntonia.

The room was quiet, the only sound the faint, rhythmic hum of the air conditioning and Anntonia's soft, steady breathing.

Michelle shifted slightly, propping herself up against the headboard and tucking her arms beneath the pillow.

As they lay there in the tranquil stillness, the warmth of the night enveloped them, offering solace and a shared sense of unspoken understanding.

Michelle couldn't deny the depth of her feelings for Anntonia, the unspoken words lingering in the space between them.

In the morning, the sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on the room.

Michelle stirred, her eyes fluttering open, and she found herself met with the sight of Anntonia's peaceful, sleeping form beside her. The events of the previous night came rushing back to her, and she couldn't help but smile at the serene expression on Anntonia's face.

Carefully extricating herself from the bed, Michelle made her way over to the window and drew back the curtains, allowing the morning light to flood the room.

As she turned back to the bed, she saw Anntonia beginning to stir, her eyelids fluttering open as she blinked blearily in the sunlight.

"Morning, sleepyhead," Michelle greeted, her voice warm with affection.

"How are you feeling?" Michelle continued.

Anntonia yawned, stretching languidly as she shifted to sit up.

"I think I might have overdone it last night," Anntonia admitted with a sheepish smile.

"Good morning. Where am I, by the way?" Anntonia began and looking for Michelle's gaze.

"oh, you're too drunk last night and ended up sleeping through my shoulder, that's why I decided to bring you here at my hotel because it's much nearer than Rhian's house, is that okay for you?" Michelle then met Anntonia's gaze.

"uhm, shoulder?" Anntonia asked confusingly.

"Yeah, we talked about something last night and you accidentally confe— I mean slept on my shoulder, that's why.." Michelle said nervously not wanting to start their morning awkwardly.

"ohhh, I'm so sorry for that" Anntonia then stared at Michelle.

"you have nothing to sorry Ann" Michelle smiled.

"But thank you for taking care of me, Dee." Anntonia holding Michelle's gaze.

Michelle waved off her thanks with a chuckle.

"It's no big deal, Ann."

"I made coffee for you, good thing you've already woke up, few minutes ago when I finished making our coffee" Michelle stated and stared at Anntonia.

"really? Thank you, Dedee" Anntonia chuckled a bit.

"cute, you can drink it now, before it gets cold" Michelle stated while making her way through the table to get the coffee and bring to Anntonia

'cute, oh shut anntonia, no no no' Anntonia thought to herself.

"Do you want something? Something to eat? I'll cook for you" Michelle began again and just stared at Anntonia.

Anntonia just stared at Michelle appreciating her kindness after what happened between them and still gave her a good treatment

"Ann?"

"oh sorry, uhm can you cook..."

"what?"

"Adobo...."

"such a baby, ofc yesss, just give a minutes okay?"

before Michelle turned her back, she felt Anntonia's hand holding her wrist.

Anntonia stand and hugged Michelle tightly

"Thankyou, Dee..."

"for what?" Michelle hugged Anntonia through her waist.

"For doing this to me.. after what happened to us, you're still giving me this treatment.." Anntonia stated and leaned her head through Michelle's back shoulder.

Michelle then chuckle and began

"you deserve it, Ann.."

Anntonia then step back and face Michelle as she holding Michelle's hands.

"no, dee, YOU DESERVE IT, and I'm sorry if I did not make you feel that you deserve it back then"

"Shhh, it's okay, let's just not think about our past okay? Now, can I make you Adobo?"

"Okayyy" Anntonia said excitedly

Michelle then smiled and make her way through the kitchen.
