The night was getting late, the cold felt so agonizing. Alvaro slept only in a bathrobe provided by the hotel, without blankets and other clothes. The Air Conditioner temperature has been raised in a certain temperature, but does not make the heat of the taste and penetrated into the body of Alvaro. Tonight he was really cold.
He should have asked the hotel for an extra blanket, but Alvaro didn't. He thought he would endure the cold, so he chose to sleep on the sofa hugging his own body. However, the reality is that Alvaro's body is not that strong. He had trouble closing his eyes and resting properly because of the cold that felt piercing to the bone.
He glanced towards the direction where the bed with the thick blanket that was there, looked so warm and comfortable. Alvaro wanted to go there, but considering that Azlina slept wearing only the same bathrobe made of towels as what he was wearing, Alvaro immediately denied his desire. He was afraid he couldn't control himself not to touch the girl.
After all, he was a normal man who could be tempted and led to do things that were out of his control.
However, the cold this time was indeed unable to avoid. Without a second thought, the man got off the sofa, set foot on the cold floor, stepped quickly towards the bed.
He stuffed the body into the same blanket as Azlina, suppressing a wild mind that might keep her from sleeping tonight.
...***...
When midnight arrived, Azlina felt her body warm up more than before. The warm feeling he now feels exactly the same on the night of his bride at that time. Feeling a warm embrace from someone by clinging tightly to himself as if channeling heat into his cold body. Until the sleepy eyes force to open, observe what has happened.
Just when the round eyes were perfectly open, the first glance was immediately faced by the man's chest. He looked up, making sure it wasn't a dream like before.
Not wrong again, Alvaro was asleep while hugging his body tightly. The man didn't want himself to stay away. Azlina began to stretch out to wake the man up. Perhaps, Alvaro was unaware when hugging him because it was considered a big roll that could warm.
Just as he was touching his fingers, not a pat on the cheek to wake Alvaro up, but a caress in the slightly growing jaws of the hair. Lulu's words about the handsome Om-om back in Azlina's ears, made her feel like she had the opportunity to stare more carefully at her husband's face.
How could a high school student like Lulu be interested in a grown man like Alvaro? Obviously it makes Azlina amazed, because in her mind surely she will look for the same age in terms of couples to connect when invited to talk. However, right now what was in his mind was contrary to what he was doing. Azlina stroked the cheek while enjoying Alvaro's face.
Strict facial lines, a sharp nose with dense black eyebrows with long eyelashes, Alvaro does look so charming as an adult man.
Does that mean Azlina feels lucky to have been his wife?
No, the marriage they did was not a real marriage. Alvaro even supported him when he told him about the Eagle the captain of school basketball. There was no jealousy or upset on Alvaro's face at the time, like a husband who loved his wife. There aren't. And it was enough to prove that Alvaro was really in his words, that their marriage was only a bond on paper.
Azlina had to fortify her heart so as not to fall in love with the grown man. Perhaps, thinking of Alvaro as a Big Brother was better for Azlina to protect her heart from getting hurt. After all, the heart is still the heart. No matter how hard Azlina fortified it, giving it a strong shield so as not to be touched by Alvaro's charm, it was certain that one day the fortress would be destroyed as well.
Alvaro smiled wryly, laughing at Azlina's innocent behavior. It was clear that she knew that since then the girl had woken up and caressed her face for a long time. There was a sense of pleasure that went out, then spread and encompassed his heart. I don't know what that feeling was, until the man chose to shake his head. He hugged her more and more, bringing the girl into his arms to simply warm each other up.
...***...
The awkwardness now started to hit Azlina. The girl was still sitting in a bathrobe waiting for her clothes to come. Alvaro has ordered a change of clothes for both of them using the services of a personal shopper who will later deliver it directly to the room.
Alvaro was sitting on a long sofa, his phone had died completely, even with Azlina's phone that had been splashed in the pool. I don't know where the phone is right now, it's probably still at the bottom of the pool where he almost drowned last night.
A knock on the door immediately distracted Alvaro. With a quick movement, Alvaro opened the door. However, not the personal shopper who came, but Almeera. He was glued to the spot after seeing Almeera coming that early. Even with that girl. Almeera gawked with a glare of eyes looking towards Alvaro who was still wearing a bathrobe.
"What's this?" thought Almeera. He tried to figure out what was going on with a little peek inside. And what he saw was too difficult for common sense to digest.
Alvaro and Azlina both had bathrobe this early? Have they been ....
"You slept together?" almeera asked, after having held back the curiosity in her heart.
Alvaro retreated backwards, giving Almeera access to his room after the woman was slightly forced to look at the condition of the room. He looked at Alvaro and Azlina in turn, looking with a look of disbelief and accusation.
What the fuck? Two people who claim to be cousins sleep in bed without wearing full clothes?
"It's not what you're imagining." Alvaro tried to explain, although he knew it was unnecessary because they had no relationship. However, her good name and Azlina would deteriorate in the eyes of others, so it obliges her to explain what happened.
"I imagine what, Al? What do you mean that you fucked your own cousin?" Almeera smiled cynically, staring with disdain was also disappointed by the behavior of the two people in front of her.
Indeed what two men and women do in one room without clothes, only wrapped in a towel like that, in addition to doing improper things.
"You're disgusting!"
