The day after they stopped filming, Basil greeted the morning light on the sofa at Darnell's house. Due to the hangover, he felt like his head was splitting. As he sat up, he suddenly remembered that Darnell and Basil had teamed up to get him drunk last night, but he had no recollection of what happened afterward.
"You're up!" Zander came out of the room and greeted him. "Your phone kept getting notifications, so I put it on silent."
"Alright, thank you."
"Okay, thanks." Basil, feeling unwell, pressed his swollen forehead.
"I have to go to work. In the kitchen, on the third shelf of the low cabinet, there's hangover cure and capsules, all bought by Darnell. Help yourself. Darnell is already washing up. There's breakfast I made in the kitchen; just microwave it. I'm off," Zander said as he opened the door and turned back to remind him, "Oh, and Cierra hasn't come out yet. Make sure to check on her."
Obediently, Basil finished washing up and went to knock on the guest room door. Only silence responded. After knocking again with no answer, he said, "Excuse me," and gently pushed the door open.
As soon as he stepped in, a beautiful scene greeted his eyes. Cierra, who was drunk last night, was still sleeping with no sign of waking up. The clothes she was wearing when he carried her to bed had mostly shifted. She was now only wearing a cute little top and pastel-colored panties, her white long legs stretched out on the thin blanket. This sight was too much for Cierra. The alcohol that had been fading surged back, making him feel hot all over, his heart fluttering, and a burning sensation in his nose. The creature between his thighs showed signs of awakening. Blushing furiously, he tried to quietly back out but heard Darnell's call from the doorway.
"Cierra, you're up, right? Then I'm coming in!"
Upon hearing this, Cierra couldn't allow it. Even though Darnell didn't like women, he didn't want to let him take advantage. So, he swiftly stepped forward, grabbed another thin blanket, and firmly covered Cierra from the neck down.
As soon as Darnell walked in and saw Basil, he asked, "Strange, why are you here so early?" He stepped forward and scrutinized Basil from top to bottom, then turned to look at the fully covered Cierra, giving him a puzzled glance, "You didn't sneak in here to sleep in the middle of the night, did you?"
Darnell thought it was just as well. Wherever he went, he left traces. If Basil really dared to sleep with Cierra, he would make sure he took responsibility!"What's wrong with you? Zander just asked me to come in and take a look," Basil said coldly.
"Oh, you've seen her, so hurry up and get out," Darnell said, hands on his hips, shooing him away.
"Cierra, wake up," Even though Darnell liked men, Basil was still uneasy. He recalled the large expanse of exposed skin under the thin blanket, her fair skin and long smooth legs. No, he had to do something.
"Wake up," he sat on the edge of the bed, gently patting Cierra's shoulder. "We'll have breakfast and then I'll take you home."
At this thought, he suddenly realized that Cierra hadn't gone home all night. He had completely forgotten to inform her family. Had they called the police by now?
"Darnell, Cierra didn't go home last night. Does her family know?" He turned to Darnell, his expression serious.
"Don't worry. I called her mom last night and told her she got drunk and fell asleep at my place. Relax, her mom knows me and knows I'm a gentleman," Darnell patted his chest reassuringly, emphasizing the words "gentleman."
"That's good." Basil sighed in relief and continued trying to wake Cierra. "Wake up."
"She won't wake up like that. Move over, let me try," Darnell stepped forward, pushed Basil aside, and loudly said into Cierra's ear, "Wake up, there's a fire!"
"Fire?"
The sleeping beauty finally woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and three seconds later suddenly realized the last thing she heard. "Fire! Ah—" She threw off the thin blanket and jumped out of bed, only to find no sign of a fire but instead Basil and Darnell staring at her intently. The key point was, she remembered she usually slept half-naked!
"Ah—" She jumped back onto the bed, grabbed the thin blanket, and wrapped herself tightly. She yelled at the two men who were still dazed from the unexpected view, "Both of you, get out now!"
