Chapter 131 - Responsibility (1/2)

Sunlight entered the room, filtering through the layers of net curtains, brightening up the vast space with a golden hue.

A girl laid down in the bed, covered with the duvet up to her neck. Her eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly as the morning rays landed on her face.

A yawn escaped her rosy lips as she stretched her hands in the air. She opened her eyes slowly but shut them again, repeating the process a couple of times, letting them get used to the bright light.

She tried to sit up straight as she registered her surroundings. As soon as she sat up, she groaned while holding her head in between her hands as she felt it throbbing with pain.

Last night's events flashed through her mind. The date, the breakup and the bar. She remembered that last night she ended up at a bar somehow. But her mind was blank after that. She couldn't recall what had happened after that. All she remembered was her tears and a bottle of vodka in her hands.

”How did I end up at my apartment?” She muttered under her breath, pulling out her hair in frustration. The pain accompanied with the questions she had, was causing her to lose her calm.

”Good morning, sleeping beauty.” A male voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head towards the source with a jerk which intensified her headache.

”Based on how much you drunk you were last night, this was bound to happen.” Scott added lazily seeing her grab her head with her hands.

”Who are you? And what are you doing at my apartment?” The girl asked glaring at him.

”Ouch! You hurt me Miss…..” He trailed off and took out a driver's license from his trousers' pocket.

”Miss Katherine Collins.” He continued, looking at the name of the cardholder as he leaned against the door frame.

”Give me my license back.” She gritted her teeth.

”You can have it. But you have to take responsibility for your actions.” Scott added as he leisurely walked towards her.

”What are you talking about?” Katherine asked him with confusion written in her eyes.

”You can forget what happened last night Miss Collins, but I can not.” Scott was now standing before the bed.

He had just come out after taking a shower and thought to check on her before ordering for their breakfast, but he found her wide awake.

He liked how her messy hair framed her face. Morning suits on her.

'May be I could get used to it.' He frowned at the thought. 'I wonder where did that come from?'

”You took advantage of me last night, now you have to take responsibility as well.” He ran his fingers through his damp hair.

”What nonsense are you spouting?” Katherine frowned as she tried to think about what had happened after she went to the bar. She was already a bit tipsy when she had reached there and the vodka didn't do her any more good. Her mind was blank no matter how hard she tried to think.
