The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Elle woke up in the morning with the chaos in her mind.

"Oh no! Oh no! What I have done??! What have you done Elle?! Damn!"

"Sh**t! Why can I remember everything that happened last night?! I was drunk, I was not supposed to remember it just like Erick when he got drunk."

'Because you have trained your mind as assassin. You conditioned your mind to remember even a little bit of information that you can see and experience.' her alter ego answered her.

"No...that is not real! It was just a dream." Elle was denying it. She was convincing herself that last night didn't happened.

"Sh**t, I didn't drink that much, I didn't get drunk enough to make myself forget everything. Damn you Erick for stopping me to drink more."

Elle started to wail like a child.

"Sh**t! Stupid Elle! It was real! It really happened!"

"Blame your blabbering mouth Elle! You betray your own self!" She gently hit her mouth several times.

She could remember everything clearly about what happened last night, from the time Erick arrived until she fell asleep in his arms.

"Damn. Why did I remind him about our first kiss?" she hit her head.

"You ruined your reputation Elle! You are totally ruined. Where is your sense of pride? Getting seduced easily by that handsome detective?" Elle was scolding herself.

Her face heat up and became red from embarrassment as she remembered what she did last night.

"Oh no! I can't blame Erick! I am the one who initiated the kiss and I demanded him for more."

{ That... was amazing! I like it. It was really delicious. }

{ One more time. }

{ I said kiss me again! }

{ You smell so good. }

"Elle? Are you for real?? Did I really say those words! Sh**t I could really die from embarrassment!"

Elle buried her face in the pillow. She wanted to shout. She started to punch the pillow thinking that it was her stupid self she was punching. She already said different curses for today.

Elle stopped what she was doing when she heard the opening of the bathroom door. She started to panic. She didn't know how to face Erick.

She lay down and immediately grabbed the blanket to cover her entire body, from head to toe. She could hear his footsteps walking towards her.

'Elle calm down! Just close your eyes and just pretend that you are still sleeping.' she told herself.

She was silently praying that Erick would leave her. She was now sweating a lot because of the heat. It was already warm in the morning, plus she was now covering her whole body with a blanket.

She was starting to feel discomfort. And to her disappointment, Erick didn't leave and he stayed there looking at Elle who was under the blanket.

'What's wrong with her? Does she feel cold? Is she still not feeling well?' Erick thought to himself.

Erick went closer to her. "Elle?" Erick called her.

He got no response from her. He decided to remove the blanket that was covering Elle so that he could see her face.

Elle could feel Erick's presence.

'Sh**t, he's going to remove my blanket. Think Elle. What should I do next?'

Erick removed the blanket only to see Elle sweating a lot. Her eyes were closed but she was breathing heavily. Her face was also red. Erick's expression change and his face was now painted with worries.

'Damn! I'm so dead!' Elle thought to herself.

Erick gently patted her to wake her up.

"Elle wake up. Elle!"

Elle had no choice but to face him. Elle slowly opened her eyes to see Erick's worried expression.

"How do you feel? Are you not feeling well? You are sweating a lot and your face is red." Erick extend his hand and put it to her forehead to check her temperature.

"Ahmm, Erick can you please get me a glass of cold water?" Elle requested him. Erick nodded and left immediately to grab her some water.

After Erick left, Elle sat up. She removed and tossed the blanket immediately. "Sh**t, today's weather is so hot. Stupid, why did I cover my self with the blanket." She adjusted the temperature of the aircon using the remote control and she fanned herself using her hands. She also wiped her sweats in her face with her barehands.

"Whoah, Inhale! Exhale! Inhale! Exhale!"

"Elle!" Erick rushed in with a glass of cold water. Elle jolted in his sudden appearance causing her to be out balance.

"Elle careful!" Erick shouted.

But it was too late. Elle fell off the bed.

"Ouch!" Elle grunted in pain.

Erick ran towards her. "Hey are you okay? Why are you so clumsy and jumpy early this morning?" Erick didn't know whether he would laugh or cry at this girl.

He assisted her to stand up and let her sit down on the bed.

"I think... it was because of my hangover." Elle lied.

Erick stared at her intently, observing her reaction.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Elle asked him, feeling uncomfortable with his intense gaze.

"Did you remember anything about last night?" Erick asked her.

'Oh no! Here comes the confrontation.'

"Hehe Actually I totally went black out last night. You know, women have low tolerance when it comes to alcohol." Elle tried her best to sound natural.

Erick stayed silent after hearing that. He was just staring at Elle.

'Sh**t, do I not sound convincing?'

"Ahem, did I do something wrong last night?" She asked him nervously.

'If he decides to tell you the truth, just say sorry and you are out of your mind and pretend that you really don't remember anything. Be firm!' she told herself.

Erick chuckled and said "Yes and No."

Elle was confused. "What do you mean yes and no?"

"Yes you did something and No because it was not wrong." he replied to her. His face lit up and wore his charming smile.

'Damn, this is the kind of smile that put me under his spell last night. Stop smiling like that, or else I will kiss you again right now.' Elle's heart started to race again. She inhaled deeply and exhaled, trying to control herself not to commit another act that will make her more embarrass.

Her face started to heat up again and blush.

"Hey are you okay?" Erick asked her as he noticed that Elle's face became red.

Elle cleared her throat.

"Cough! Cough! Ahem Erick can you pass me the water? I am so thirsty right now." Elle tried her best to calm herself down.

Erick gave her the glass of water and Elle drank from it. "I think I should bring you to the doctor today. You are not feeling well since yesterday." Erick suggested.

Elle choke on her drinks. "Hey. Careful! Drink slowly." Erick patted her back.

Elle shot him a glare.

'For real Erick? Doctor? What I need right now is for you to leave. You are the cause of this.'

Elle put the glass down on the bedside table. She stood up and walked towards Erick's closet. She grabbed his jacket and his bag.

Erick was just looking at Elle puzzled. Elle walked towards him and pulled him to stand up. She helped him wear his leather jacket and she put his bag on his shoulder.

Then she pushed his back going outside the room. When Erick was already out, Elle turned him around so that he was now facing her. Erick was still staring at her confusedly.

Elle gave him a force smile. "Erick just go to work and do your best to catch catseye. I am just fine. I want to sleep more and don't disturb me okay? Go and get those bad guy Detective. Fighting! Goodluck!" Elle was smiling at him while waving her hands.

'Go and leave Erick before I lock you here in this room and do something to you and make you my breakfast this morning.'

Erick was speechless. Did Elle just want to send him away just like that? He looked at the girl helplessly. He just shook his head.

'Elle looks fine but she is just a little weird today. Is that the effect of her hangover.'

Erick just let out a soft chuckle. 'I will let her off today. But I will make sure that she will remember what happened last night.' A mischievous smile appeared on his handsome face. Then Erick left for work.

Finally, Elle could now relax. She frown to see the can of beer in the trashcan. She gave those beers a sharp glare.

'I shall report and file a complaint to the manufacturer of this beer. It has a low alcohol content, not enough to make someone get drunk and forget something!'

"Hmm never mind. I won't buy this kind of beer ever again." She mumbled as she changed her mind.
