The Morning After

A persistent ringing was heard from the cell phone on the bedside.  Annoyed, Julia covered her ears with both hands.  "So noisy, I want to sleep some more."

The ringing of the cell phone stopped but only for a few seconds before it continued its persistent ringing.

Julia was irritated.  She stretched her hand to reach out for the phone but her hand suddenly froze mid-air.  The memories of last night's passion came rushing back.  She gripped the edge of the quilt with trembling hands and lifted it slowly.  Indeed she was naked and she felt her back and nether area in great pain.  She moved her head to her left and screamed when she came face to face with a man whose naked torso was exposed.

'How did it come to this?  Why is it him and not Erik?'

Franco was awakened by the scream and the slaps on his face.  Before Julia can inflict more harm on him, Franco grabbed her wrists.
