A rare gem

"Ohh!" Eida covered her face with the thick blanket, unable to look at him after waking up from a night of another passionate encounter. 

As the rays of the morning sun flooded her windows, so thus, all her memories of last night. Upon seeing the man lying beside her, wide awake and staring at her, a giddy feeling invaded her body, looking through his expressive eyes.

Still, guilt also nagged at her, bothering her mind, heart, and conscience. What now?

She immediately ran to the bathroom and locked herself in the room, trying to calm herself down. Hoping when she had returned, Lance would be gone. 

But to her surprise, Lance was still waiting for her in her room. She assumed he would have left just like before, now leaving her more confused than ever.

With her robe safely secured around her, she felt more confident facing him. She moved closer to the bed, watching him, waiting for him to say something, anything, to break the awkward silence.
