What was wrong with Rachel? How was Matthew supposed to respond to Tracy?
Matthew couldn't just say Rachel was in bad shape from strenuous activities, and he definitely couldn't reveal that she was hurt from being too passionate during their intimate moments.
It was out of the question to blame Rachel's situation on him getting too carried away. Things were really complicated. Matthew had to make up something.
"She's just feeling a little off in her stomach. It's no big deal. She's doing fine."
Did Rachel have an upset stomach? Tracy frowned and started counting the days of Rachel's cycle.
"Something's off. It's not that time of the month yet. Why is she feeling unwell in her stomach? Could she be pregnant? You know, from last time in the car…" Realizing she had slipped up, Tracy quickly went quiet.
"Huh?" Matthew exclaimed. He gaped at Tracy in shock.
Last time, Rachel was under the effect of aphrodisiacs, and they were at it for a long time in the car. Matthew had assumed Tracy was asleep the whole time, thinking that she slept like a log.
But then, Tracy suddenly brought it up. Clearly, she wasn't asleep at that time and knew everything that had happened.
They went wild in the car, and Rachel moaned like there was no tomorrow. The worst part was that Tracy watched the whole thing unfold. Thinking over it, Matthew felt so awkward that he didn't know what to say.
Tracy realized she had said something she shouldn't have and quickly apologized. "Sorry. It wasn't on purpose. I wasn't trying to peep back then.
"I was sound asleep, and suddenly the car started rocking like crazy. That was when I was jolted awake. I was trying to sleep, but you two were so loud that I couldn't fall back asleep."
After explaining, Tracy's face turned so red that she looked like a tomato. Tracy couldn't get the images out of her head, or Rachel's moan and Matthew's roars. It almost made her die of embarrassment.
