Perth's POV

"We broke it off."

Those words did not sink into my brain right away. It was as if the thought of Zee and Saint being a couple was too much for my brain to handle all at once.

But he had said that they had broken off. But still, the thought of him being with another guy hit me hard and hurt me badly.

I needed to get away. I needed to leave the hotel and go some place far away from here.

Maybe Iain could help me. But I did not have his contact number. I decided to take my chance by googling his name.

There it was. Holy shit, what were the chances.

Iain answered on the first ring.

"Iain? Would you please pick me up from my hotel?" I asked, my heart pounding furiously against my chest.

"Who's this?" I heard him ask on the other end.

Before I could answer, I felt my phone being grabbed from my hands.

"What the fuck, Saint!"

I couldn't believe that  Saint would do something so rude as to grab my phone from my hands. Worse, he threw my phone onto the bed.

I was about to run to fetch it from there but he held me back.

"Perth, listen to me," he said in a pleading voice while holding me tight in his arms. "Please, Perth, listen to me."

I sighed.

"I'm listening," I said, wondering what he was going to say next.

"Perth, it was over even before it began," I heard him say.

"What do you mean?" I asked, not sure whether I wanted to listen to his explanation or not.

"On our very first date, he already noticed that something was off, that I wasn't 'fully present', those were his words," Saint said.

I waited for him to say more.

"Finally, I had to confess that the reason I wasn't 'fully present' to him was because I... I... I... "

"You what?" I asked, starting to lose my patience. "Dammit, Saint, stop playing games with me!"

I looked angrily at his face.

There was indecision written all over his face. I could tell that he was trying to decide whether he was going to tell me or not whatever it was that he ......

"...... because I still love you, Perth."

Again his words did not sink into my brain right away.

I just stood and stared at him wondering if I heard him right.

Suddenly, he pushed me away.

"Okay," he said, turning away from me to pick up my phone from my bed.

He handed it to me, saying, "Okay, go ahead and be with Iain. It was stupid of me to say that I still love you."

It was my turn to grab my phone from his hand and to toss it back onto the bed.

I grabbed him and kissed him hard, holding him so tight so that he could not break away from my hold.

I kissed him, and kissed him and kissed him until I felt him responding to my kiss.

I guided him towards the bed.

Just before his head hit the pillow, I heard him say, "Wait, the black forest cake... "

"Are you fucking kidding me right now???" I asked before pulling his shirt over his head and tossing it somewhere across the room.

He giggled, saying, "You're right of course, I was just kidding."

I tickled him where I knew he was ticklish before placing my lips on his once more.

I caressed the side of his face while kissing him. Then I caressed the side of his neck. His skin felt so silky. My hands traveled to his chest. His skin there was even silkier. It was driving me crazier by the minute. My excitement started to grow ......

My hand paused on the buckle of his belt because at that instant my phone started to ring.

"Bloody hell," I muttered before saying 'excuse me' to Saint.

"Who's this?" I asked angrily because the number was not familiar to me.

"What do you mean who's this!" the person on the other end asked just as angrily. "You just called me not too long ago asking me to pick you up from your hotel!"
