TIME TO INVESTIGATE

* sethrony*

I lift his hand off me as gently as possible, picking up my shoes and phone. I can't believe this is happening right now.

Waking up next to a man and tiptoeing out of a room like a hook-up was not in my agenda for the night. Even ever. I close the door behind me and try to walk away as fast as possible. I still can't believe it. This can't be happening. Am I dreaming. Opening the door and peaking out if anyone is outside but I nobody is there. Closing the door as quietly as possible, I run as fast as I can across the halls through the house and out into the courtyard.

I make a b-line to the apartment but I didn't expect to see another human being along the path, let alone 2 people at 4am.

Charles and the woman from last night are walking linked by the elbow. She's saying something but he seems the least interested. He sees me and calls my name. It’s too late. I made eye contact with him. I can’t just ignore me.
