Waking up with an awful headache is what I am expecting the next morning. Damn, it's been so long since I got drunk like that and I never let myself be irresponsible like that before even back in Paris. And not just that, I embarrassed myself upon acting like that in front of Lucas. Jesus, can the ground just eat me alive?

I badly want to punch myself right nowh
but I must fix this painful head. Looking around me, I wasn't expecting that Lucas would be here too but I am not expecting the note he left on top of my bedside table.

Don't overdo yourself, kitten. Relax and smile :)

That bastard.

Shit, the things Lucas can do to me. A simple act like that, it is enough to melt my heart and have me as a slave of my love for him again. Its hard to fight this feeling whenever he is acting like this. Sweet and caring. Just like the Lucas I married before. Young but mature. The way he thinks never disappoints me, he is always thinking ahead and plans things what's better for the both of us.

That's why having this marriage a failure is a big question.

Does his words last night meant anything? Are those true? Or they are just part of my dizziness?

Standing up from the bed, I quickly took one Aspirin and just as I was passing through my body mirror, my feet froze when there was something around my neck caught my attention.

My eyes widen upon seeing red marks of kisses all over my neck and collarbone. "Damn, just like before." Lucas loves giving me hickies even when we are not...making love. He will just randomly put one just because he likes it. Well, that's Lucas.

He loves to seize his possession. I should not be surprised if I see Silvia with love bites all over her but still, it brings pain inside me just the thought of it. The things we have done together, and now they are probably doing it as well. Something that I must accept at this point. But my heart is blocking all of the reality.

Looking in front of the mirror, I reviewed myself.

"Not too cool now, huh?" I spat at my reflection before heading inside my bathroom and cleaned myself under the warm tub.

Nothing is more relaxing than a soak in the tub with a smell of a lavender and lemon. The best of all.

After my soak, I simply change into a white sheer crop tank top and partnered it with a black boy shorts. I don't have any plans to go out or meet someone so I am alright with this one. Something comfortable with cup of hot coffee on my hand. This is a perfect time to paint. I don't know what to paint but my hands are just moving on its own as it reflects the current state of my mind.

Foggy and unreadable.

I'm in my cave while staring deeply at my unfinished painting before I stood up and ordered some pizza through the telephone. It is a great day to be lazy but at a weird way, a great day to paint. I don't know but it makes sense to me. I put my hair in a messy bun while continuing my work.

When my door bell rings, I quickly slide towards it to get my favorite pepperoni pizza, all of these are just for me. Time to pig out these stress in my life.

Weird, I didn't noticed my phone yet. I quickly search the dress that I wore last night before changing into Lucas's clothes and there was my phone inside it's pocket. My eyes widen seeing how many missed calls I had from Nate.

322 missed calls and 652 unread texts all from Nate.

I quickly dialled him and he answered in an instant.

"Talia! Goodness, what the heck happened to you last night?! Are you alright!?" His voice was panicking.

"Calm down, Nate. I'm fine, I just got drunk last night and felt sick. Sorry I didn't went to you and tell you about." I lied, jumping back to the couch and watched TV while eating a hot pizza that I showered with some hot sauce.
