Still Hurts

Chapter nine: "Still Hurts"

"Penelope" Ramira called out my name

I looked up at her from my plate full of food "Yeah?"

It was breakfast time and all the girls looked at each other awkwardly as they try to say something to me, Ella sighed "We noticed that you have back pain, you didn't have it last night" she pointed it out

I glared at Cloud from the distance being seated at the other table with the guys not knowing I was glaring daggers at him "Why don't you ask him?" I grumbled

Natalie and Ramira cleared their throats

"And how about the...middle?" Brie asked me
What the heck are they talking about?

I just decided to be honest "It still hurts" I answered simply before I continued eating

The entire night, Cloud made me do an entire before sleep workout with him so I could lose my brattiness and my entire body hurts like hell.
He should become a fitness coach instead of becoming an Astronomer at this point

Adeline finished up her food "Did you guys use protection?"

I raised a brow at her "What protection? We didn't bring any protection"
Who would bring workout gear to a wedding party?

Wendy dropped her spoon by accident "Sorry" she then stood up "I'll get another spoon"

Ramira, my sisters, and some of my girl cousins looked at each other. Juliet sets down her glass of pineapple juice "Let's just hope that it doesn't bring a new life right now" she spoke to all of us

"Anybody other than us should keep this secret, got it?" Caramia instructed them and the girls agreed
Why do they need to keep this conversation a secret? It's just an after work out pain after all

Vivi glanced at me then sighs as she puts her hand on her face "The least that you should do is be quiet last night, I was in your neighboring hotel room"

I gave her a sheepish grin "Sorry, I can't help it"

Natalie patted Vivi on the shoulder like how a person is comforting someone
I must've been too loud last night

After breakfast, all the girls started to go to Aunt Laborè for the dress fitting along with another dress designer. While I was wearing the dress that was supposed to be simple and easy, it felt so painful with a sore body.

Natalie saw my struggle so she walked up to me and stood in front to cover me from Aunt Laborè's view

The girls helped me put on the dress and I feel touched that they worry about me a lot

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I still gave Cloud the silent treatment and avoided him like the plague when he tries to talk to me
My entire body was sore because of that guy

My legs are sorer than my waist and arms combined. When I reached Caramia's bedroom all the girls are in there, Vivi and Juliet hooked their arms around mine trapping me between them

"Was that your first time unprotected?" Natalie asked me while holding a small notepad and a ballpen at the other hand

I was sat down on one chair while my two cousins are on both of my sides

"That was my first time and it was unprotected, why would you ask?" I asked while leaning back at the chair

"Oh God" all of them groaned

We heard knocking at the door and Brie stood up to answer it

"Have you seen Angel? I couldn't find her around the hotel" I could hear Cloud from the other side of the door
