His Lover Next Door

The loud sound of the alarm clock was what woke Steven up from his deep sleep.

Without even opening his eyes, he groggily searches for the table but he couldn't find it. He's

sure that the table was just right next to his bed, where he always put his alarm clock.

He opened his eyes and carefully moved around but he immediately groaned when he felt his

head ache.

He seems to have been drinking a lot last night.

Only when the ache in his head disappeared did he look around the room.

His forehead furrowed when instead of the blue wall, it was a white wall that he saw. Even the

things that he's seeing inside the room aren't his.

"Where the hell am I?" He asked himself.

The alarm clock rang again that it surprised him a little. He looked for it and he saw that it was

on the other side of the bed.

He was about to sit down when he felt something on his stomach and even on his feet.

His eyes widened as he turned to see the person next to him, who was covered by a blanket.

"Did I sleep with a random girl last night?" He asked himself again.

He tried to remember what happened last night.

From how Shaina rejected him and insulted him, to how he went to a certain bar and get himself

drunk. He got so wasted that it was even so hard for him to get a taxi. After getting a cab and

telling the driver where his address is, he can't remember a thing anymore. He doesn't have even

a single idea of what happened next.

He doesn't remember that he went home with a woman last night. And one more thing, he is one

hundred percent sure that he is not in his room and he is not in his apartment!

What did the taxi driver do to him?

He looked at the person beside him again, who's still fully covered by the blanket. Then he

slowly raised his hand to remove the blanket from the stranger.

His heartbeat is so fast and it was so loud. He is freaking nervous. He was too drunk last night

that he can't remember even a single thing. What if this person is in a relationship with someone?

Or worst, married? He doesn't want trouble.

He was about to remove the blanket from the stranger's face when it suddenly moved, causing

the blanket to come down. And he was so surprised when instead of a woman, he saw a man.

And he is naked! Both of them are naked!

He gasps and his eyes widened even more. Even his body froze. He felt like his heartbeat

stopped for a few seconds. And he got even more surprised when the man suddenly opened its

eyes.

He was not able to talk. Their eyes met. The man smiled at him then greeted him with it's sleepy

and rough voice.

"Good morning, Steven." The stranger said.

A few more seconds passed and he just stared at the man as his the brain is still trying to process

everything that he's seeing right now.

But when the guy moved closer towards him, his face on his neck, that's when his senses finally

came back.

He pushed the man away from him then he instantly jumped out of the bed.

"Steven..." The man said but he didn't pay him any attention.

He quickly picked up his clothes that scattered on the floor then he immediately got dressed and

left the room without looking back.

With big steps, he searched for the door out. He could hear the man calling his name but he

ignored him, pretending he didn't hear anything.

He shut the door so hard when he finally got out. He closed his eyes as he leaned against the

closed door.

"What the hell just happened?" He whispered.

He stayed in that position for a minute before he finally opened his eyes.

He looked around. He is not in a hotel. It seems like he is in an apartment.

He was about to leave when the door of an apartment, that is just right in front of him, caught his

attention.

It looked familiar.

He took a step closer to the door. He wondered several times why it seemed so familiar. Until

realization hit him.

It's his unit!

He stares unbelievably at the closed door of his unit when the door of the opposite unit suddenly

opened and he saw the man that he woke up next to.

"Hey, neighbor." The guy said while grinning from ear to ear.

Steven felt like he is going to lose consciousness at any moment now.

"What the fuck." Is the only word that came out of his mouth as he stared back at the man.
