Chapter 25 Embarrassed

The moment I awoke, I opened my eyes. A terrible dizziness and headache plagued me and I groaned, turning to look at the beauty sleeping next to me. She was resting peacefully. I was tempted to reach out and pull her towards me but decided that would be a stupid idea. It was a one night stand, and it was over. I did not want her to have any thoughts of other possibilities.

As I showered, something was disturbing me. However much I tried, I could not remember what had happened the night before. I remembered that I had not drunk a lot. I had actually taken less drinks than it took to make me tipsy. If I had not drunk too much, then what was it? I remembered that the woman had poured me wine when I got to the hotel. We had both drunk it together.

“Shit,” I said and quickly dried myself. Wrapping the towel around my waist, I returned to the room. To my utter surprise, the woman was nowhere to be seen.
