Chapter 69

• I didn't know how long I laid there after reaching for the sheet to cover my body with my eyes on the ceiling. I waited for Caleb to come back but he never returned. I was thankful that there was still a little effect of the alcohol in my system which helped me bear the sexual frustration I just experienced. Sleep at last pulled me into oblivion.
• I woke up with a slight headache. With difficulty, I forced to open my eyes. I knew the sun was up since some light from outside was peeking through the sides of the curtains. Now I realized that we were in the unit where Caleb first brought me. I wasn't sure what to do next. Should I stay in bed and continue to wait for him or make myself home by taking a shower which I was dying to have and then brew a cup of coffee?
• Even if I had a feeling that he didn't came back since the lights were on as he left them last night, I still turned my head to the right to check if he laid on the bed. I released a sigh of sadness and disappointment. As I thought, the sheet wasn't creased. There was no mark of his head on the pillow. I nipped my bottom lip and decided to get up. I wasn't only sexually frustrated last night, I was also humiliated. The least I could do for myself was to do what I had to do. Life must go on. I would do my best to try to forget what happened so I could go on with my day. Later when I see my husband...I paused. Caleb was my husband but he abandoned me on our honeymoon. I shook my head and wrapped my body with the sheet. I grabbed my undies while I control tears from falling down. I walked to where I believed was the bathroom. I halted after switching the lights and saw how big the bathroom was. There was a big closet with two doors. I closed the bathroom door behind me and curiously opened the closet which contained Caleb's clothes. There were shirts, trousers, casual and formal wear and there was a space for undergarments too. I was amazed on how organized everything was unlike this mess I was in at the moment. I took a deep breath and slowly released it as I felt sorry for myself again. I was supposed to be a happy bride but after last night, I didn't have any idea how things would be with us. Our honeymoon wasn't a usual one. Instead of spending our night together in bliss, the exact opposite happened. I swallowed and shook my head to clear it.
