10:27 pm.
Baar, Nathan and Omar were on the 4th floor of Pension House Hotel.
The room Maaz and the others rented was a suite that had 4 bedrooms.
Kacha!
When Baar, Nathan and Omar entered the room, they found them at the living room and a rock song was playing in the background.
There were also a number of drinks and other things on top of the coffee table.
"There they are!" Khalid said.
"What took you guys so long?" Lena said.
"Hey!" said Zainab, Salma and Kera.
"Hello!" said Fatima as she got up and went over to them.
Maaz got up as well.
He had a big smile on his face as he hugged Nathan.
"Cousin, they told me what you did back there! You were like an unstoppable machine mowing people down! You even knocked out a person with one punch! You're my cousin all right! Hahahaha~!"
"Huh…?"
Pah!
Baaz slapped Nathan's back and smiled. "Yeah, he was like a fucking machine all right. But don't forget about us!"
As for Omar, he didn't say anything and just smiled.
Nathan scratched his nose and said, "It's nothing really. I just did what I had to do."
"Of course!" Maaz said with a smile.
"Hey, let's continue drinking," Khalid said.
"Yeah, that fight got me thirsty as well," Baar said.
Omar and Maaz went over as well.
Nathan and Lena were left at the front door.
She wrapped her arm around Nathan's arm tightly, catching him off-guard.
"What the hell…?" Nathan looked at her.
"What you did back there was really hot," Fatima said with a seductive voice traced her finger on his chest.
Nathan just stared at her, still trying to process what was happening.
Back at the Rivers Cafe, although they talked, she was at best just being friendly.
But now, it was like she was a different person.
And perhaps too friendly, if he could say…
He could smell the scent of her shampoo and her cologne.
He could feel the side of her breast pressing hard against his arm.
He could also feel her body's temperature. It was so hot that it felt like she had a fever.
He couldn't help but feel aroused.
"Come, let's drink," Fatima said as she pulled him over to a single seat sofa.
"Okay…"
Nathan grabbed one of the beer bottles on the coffee table before sitting down on the single-seat sofa.
He pressed the cold bottle against his knuckles.
It was a bit swollen from the fight earlier.
Fatima suddenly sat beside him.
"Scoot over," she said.
"Umm... I can move to another seat if --" he said.
"No, just stay here with me."
"Okay..."
Although it was a single-seat sofa, it will still manage to fit both of them.
However, there was barely any room left that it felt like they were squeezed together tightly.
She grabbed Nathan's arm and placed put it around her shoulders.
"I feel like smoking now," Fatima said with her eyes looking at Nathan as her hands slowly slipped inside his pockets and searched for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"I-I don't have any cigarettes left. Only a lighter I-If it's cigarette you want, there's a pack on the coffee table," Nathan said.
"I'll just look for the lighter then," Fatima said and bit her lower lip as she continued to search slowly, teasing him.
Nathan didn't have time to ponder about the stereotypes of south Muwinian women.
All he cared about right now was this moment.
He put down his beer, grabbed her chin and pressed his lips against hers.
Unbeknownst to Nathan, the others have already started kissing as well except for Khalid and Kera.
Khalid was busy preparing the drugs.
There were pills, serums and syringes laid out on the coffee table.
He injected Kera and she moaned.
Kera then got up and started dancing slowly and mindlessly, trying to feel the effects of the drug coursing in her veins.
"Okay, who's next?" Khalid said as he put away the used syringe and opened another.
Baar pulled away from Zainab's kiss and looked over at Khalid.
"Hit me."
"Okay."
"What about you, baby?" Baar said to Zainab as he was being injected.
"I just want a pill," Zainab said and grabbed a pill from the table.
They then went inside to one of the rooms.
Omar and Salma already taken a pill and were inside one of the rooms.
As for Maaz and Lena, they were already half-dressed.
"Hey, both of you. Give it a break for a moment," Khalid said.
Maaz and Lena stopped kissing.
"The usual?" Khalid said.
"Yeah," Maaz said.
They each took a pill and then got injected.
After that, they went to one of the rooms.
Khalid looked over at Nathan and Fatima.
"Hey, hey. Nathan bro."
Nathan stopped kissing Fatima.
He looked at the drugs at the table and said, "I'm good."
Nathan tried drugs before.
However, the only drug he tried, if you can really call it a "drug" was weed.
In Nathan's mind, compared to smoking, he didn't particularly like drinking and drugs.
With drinking, it's really hard to concentrate or workout properly when you're drunk or have a hangover.
Meanwhile, in the case of drugs, he differentiates them into two categories -- "uppers" and "downers".
What he doesn't like about the "uppers" is that once it loses its effects, his body will crash down.
It's fine if he already finished the things he planned to do for the day or was able to finish them while he was high. If not, then he has no choice but to either take another dose or postpone the things tomorrow.
And as for the downers, he didn't like them simply because it dulls his senses.
Now, what about smoking?
Well, the way he sees it, although the effect of smoking is deadly, especially in the long run, its effects aren't immediate and it neither heighten or dulls his senses so he could still perform his daily duties.
"What? Come on, bro, you should try it," Khalid said.
"Really, I'm good," Nathan said.
"That's not how you invite someone," Fatima said.
She grabbed two pills, popped one for herself and then led Nathan to the last room that was vacant.
Meanwhile, Khalid shot himself and grabbed two pills before heading over to Kera who was still dancing slowly and mindlessly.
***
Inside the room, Fatima and Nathan were stripping as fast as they could.
She removed her glasses and put them on the bedstand.
She then placed the other pill on her tongue and kissed Nathan, twirling her tongue against his.
"Umph!" Nathan was caught in surprise because he felt and tasted the pill of her tongue but he didn't break away.
The pill slowly melted away on tongues.
In the first 5 minutes, Nathan suddenly felt like he wanted to vomit but forced himself not to.
10 minutes later, he felt like he was bursting with so much life, love and excitement that he was overwhelmed with this strong urge to hug and brush his skin against someone.
As they were kissing and now completely naked, Fatima stopped.
"Do you a condom?"
"Huh? Yeah, I have one inside my wallet."
"Oh okay. I also have one."
They resumed kissing.
***
3:07 am.
Nathan opened his eyes.
The lights were still on inside the room.
He could hear two male voices coming outside of the room.
However, he couldn't hear their voices clearly.
He looked over on his left side and saw Fatima naked.
Her long black hair partially covering his sleeping face.
Nathan smiled softly brushed the back of his hand against her cheeks.
"Umm…" mumbled the sleeping Fatima.
Nathan chuckled and thought that her reaction was so cute.
She was like a cat.
He moved closer and hugged her as he slowly caressed the back of her head.
Fatima was the second woman he slept with in his entire life.
Because of that, he couldn't help but compare her to Karen.
He and Karen lasted for 5 years until they broke up.
Although they both had sex at least twice a week, it was unavoidable that it became monotonous.
Sure, they tried to spice things up by doing some freaky and kinky things once in a while. But after a couple of tries, the excitement would gradually fade.
This led to them facing a scary dilemma.
Karen told him that she was afraid that normal sex wouldn't turn her on anymore. In her defense, if the freaky and kinky things they usually do doesn't turn them on anymore, should they just crank up the craziness each time or stick with boring, normal sex?
Seeing how frightened and concerned she was, Nathan, who was still madly in love with her at that time, agreed to just stick with "normal" sex.
But after having sex with Fatima, he couldn't help but be blown away.
It was like some veil that he had no idea was covering his eyes was lifted.
He experienced a lot of new things with her that he thought wasn't possible.
She performed techniques that just blew him mind that he almost said I love you to her.
He was even pissed that they only had 2 condoms because her skills were just out of this world.
'Well, it's not like this will be the last time we're going to meet. I'll make sure to ask for her number,' Nathan thought and smiled.
The sleeping Fatima turned away from his embrace.
'Heh~ Really just like a cat.'
He looked forward to spending more time with her and getting to know her deeper, not just some person he had sex with.
He could still hear the two male voices outside.
He was feeling thirsty so he decided to get up and grabbed a glass of water.
He wore his boxers.
As he got closer to the door, their voices became a little bit clearer.
"Boss Iking called me a few hours ago. He told me the job we did wasn't 100% clean and he's taking some heat because of it but it's still manageable. What should we do in case --" said Baar.
"Don't worry about it. There's no such thing as a 100% clean job," said Maaz.
"But --"
"I said don't worry about it."
"..."
"Look, Boss Iking isn't someone that anyone can bully. Even the police and government officials fear him. The streets will be flooded with blood first before he would let anyone disrespect him. We just have to trust him as always. We've worked so hard to get where we are now. The only way is to continue climbing the ladder, do you hear me?"
"Okay, I will trust you."
"Do the others know about this?"
"I haven't told them yet."
"Good. Let's keep it that way. Although, it doesn't really matter if you tell them or not. Everything will go as smoothly as always. Go get some rest."
Hearing their conversation finally ended, Nathan waited for 10 minutes before going out.
He didn't want them to think he was eavesdropping.
Whether it matters or not that he overheard their conversation, it's better if they think he doesn't know anything to avoid any trouble.
***
10 minutes later…
Ka-cha!
Nathan exited the room.
There, he saw Maaz sitting all by himself in the living room and staring blankly at his phone.
It was eerily quiet.
He didn't saw Baaz nor Khalid and Kera.
There were only 4 rooms. And as far as he can remember, Khalid and Kera were the last ones here in the living room before he and Fatima went to their room.
'Well, I guess they decided to share a room with the others.'
As for Maaz, he decided to ignore him.
As he made his way to the kitchen to get some water, Maaz suddenly called him out.
"Cousin?"
Nathan stopped and looked at him. "Oh, hey."
Maaz was looking at him strangely.
It was like his brown eyes were trying to peer through his very soul that it made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Still up?" Maaz said.
"I just woke up and I was feeling thirsty so I decided to get grab a drink."
"I see."
"How about you? I mean, why are you up? Where's Lena?"
"She's with Khalid and Kera. They're sleeping."
"Oh…" Nathan grabbed a glass and turned on the faucet.
Gush!
The sound of running water echoed throughout the room.
Nathan turned off the faucet and drank the water.
"I don't sleep at night," said Maaz and then shook his head. "No, I rarely sleep at all."
Nathan put down the class on the sink but didn't say anything.
To be exact, he doesn't really know what to say. It's not like he was a medical expert or something about insomnia in the first place.
However, Maaz was family and the awkward silence was killing him so he decided to say something.
"Umm... You could try drinking hot milk or reading a book."
Maaz smiled and said, "I've tried that."
Nathan scratched his nose and said, "Well... I'm sorry. I don't know what to say anymore."
"That's okay."
"Anyway, I'm going back to bed."
"Okay."
As he was about to enter the room, Maaz called him once more.
"Cousin."
Nathan stopped and turned around.
Maaz continued, "I'm glad that we've had a chance to spend time like this. You know that I'm not really liked by our family. It makes me feel… happy."
Nathan smiled. "LOL… I never thought you could be this melodramatic. You sound like this is going to be the last time."
Maaz laughed.
"True, that was some real gay shit. If the others saw me like this, they would've called me a faggot."
"Well, for what it's worth, I honestly enjoyed this trip."
"I'm glad to hear that. Anyway, just be sure to be up around 7:00 am. The celebration isn't over yet."
"What? You still have energy to celebrate?"
"Yeah, this is our first time hanging out together so I want to make it memorable."
"Well, it's a Sunday so… Sure, why not."
"Great. See you later then."
"Okay. See you later."
Nathan entered his room and closed the door behind him.
Ka-cha!
He turned on the lamp first before switching off the lights.
Fatima slowly opened her eyes.
"Hmm…?"
Nathan smiled and said, "Hey, swee--"
He was about to say "sweetie" but stopped himself because it was the word he and Karen used to call each other.
Old habits die hard.
However, he didn't want to be reminded by anything about Karen anymore.
He needed to move on to a new chapter in his life with someone else.
"Hey…" Fatima said with a sleepy voice.
Nathan slid into the bed and hugged her.
"I'm sorry for waking you up, baby. Go back to sleep," Nathan said and kissed her head.
"Okay, baby…"
