Don't hurt me, I'm a virgin.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The morning light in the room coaxes me from my sleep. I groan in frustration as I lose what I was dreaming about.

Slowly my eyes flutter open and as soon as they do, the events of last night bombard my brain. I smile mischievously. I toss and turn to the other side, stretching my body and I register the soreness of inner muscles. It's uncomfortable but remembering how it felt yesterday, a stupid huge grin spreads across my face.

I get up into a sitting position, realising that Jeremy's not in bed. Frowning to myself, I look around his room. Now that it's daylight I finally have the chance to study his hotel room.

His clothes mixed with my jacket and corset scatter on the floor. The rest of the stuff I assume are hotel property.

There's a massive flat screen TV just above the wall and a few lone paintings decorating the wall. Other than these, the room is completely empty, except maybe for this king sized bed that takes almost the whole room. I notice that there's another door, which I assume leads to the bathroom.

I smile mischievously as I rub a sore muscle on my shoulder and then wrapping the sheets around my body, I swiftly get out of the bed, heading for the door in search for him. I halt in my tracks, however, as I hear faint voices coming from the other room.

I make out Jeremy's voice and another which is soft, squeaky and lady like. Tip toeing to the door I press my ear against the door to make out their conversation.

"What do you want, Cassie?" I hear Jeremy's stern voice, cold and calculated, making me recall how he used the same tone with me before he threw me out.

"Baby, you left so sudden," The woman cries and somehow I imagine her pouting as she says this.

Baby? Who is this woman?

"There's no surprise there is there?"

"Jer, I said I was sorry."

Jer? Okay so they know each other and by her previous use of endearment 'baby' tells me they had or better still have a relationship together.

Suddenly he laughs as if what she has said is the most hilarious thing he's ever heard. The laugh, however, is dripped with sarcasm.

"Do you hear yourself? You're telling me you are sorry?" There's a tone of disbelief in his voice.

It goes silent for a little while until she speaks in a low voice, "It was an accident, I--"

"Accident?!" Jeremy bellows suddenly, and scoffs. "Get out. I told you I didn't want to see you."

"Jer, please baby, it won't happen again, I need you baby and you need me. I know you do. I know that behind that arrogant façade of yours, you love me," She says. There's a trace of manipulation in her words.

"Cassie, what you did is unforgivable, I don't love you. I never did. You proved to me that it was nothing but mere infatuation. Don't push me." His voice is clipped and it lacks any emotion. There's no anger nor remorse, just pure impassiveness.

There's moment of silence again before, "Why are you suddenly being so callous, Jer?" Is emitted by the woman. Her tone is one of hurt.

There's no reply from him.

Suddenly I hear her sharp intake of breath. "Are you here with someone?"

No reply.

"I see."

No reply.

"Is this your payback? Fine, I understand. But now we're even, right?" I can almost trace desperation in her voice.
