When We Meet

Oh,shit ." She shrieked as she immediately sat up on the bed, her eyes widened in shock and surprise.

She stared up at the white ceiling, which was a stack contract to the ceiling in her room.

Or should she say in her previous room, because her landlord had evicted her after failing to pay her house rent.

It wasn't her fault though, it wasn't her fault that she never lasted up to three weeks in all her jobs.

The last job she had done was that of a waitress, and she had ended up breaking 55 plates and paying through her nose.

Now she was homeless and without a job.

And the worst part of it all, something she never imagined herself doing was happening to her right now.

She groaned inwardly as she slapped her temple.

Shit

It had happened, not the way she had wanted her night to be.

But blame it on her landlord and her stupid boss and the restaurant and also on the tequila.

Because who gets drunk on their birthday and ends up with a total stranger.

Except Lupita Bianchi.

Wow, now she could win a Grammy for her stupidity.

She pulled the white blanket up a little and stared down at her naked self.

She looked at the left-hand side of the bed and found that it wasn't rumpled.

It was well laid, she blinked.

Was this all a dream ?

Because the other side of the bed was supposed to be rumbled.

She tugged at her disheveled jet black straight hair which wasn't straight any longer but was sticking out at odd ends.

Her finger combed it while waiting for the idiot that laid her.

She waited for the shuffling of feet in the bathroom, the running of the tap, the twisting of the faucet.

Or even perhaps the knob twisting.

And he showed up saying.

"Tada, sleeping beauty is awake."

This was probably a hotel, she guessed.

Yes, dummy, a voice said in her head.

What were you thinking ? Prepare his house and prepare a sauna bath sauna for you after getting laid

Stupidly, she was waiting for him to come in, never realizing that the minutes were slowly rolling by.

It dawned on her that soon room service would come knocking, and she swung her legs over the bed.

Grabbing a handful of the heavy sheet, she wrapped herself round and round like a mummy and limped to the bathroom.

The pain in between her legs hurt with every step.

She went into the sparkling bathroom and sighed.

Yeah, great the idiot wasn't there either.

She left the tap running for a few minutes, watching her reddened face in the mirror before her.

She scooped a handful of water and splashed it on her face, then her mind reeled to last night.

*****

Flash back.

"Tequila pleaseeee." She gulped and slammed the wine glass on the table so that it shook almost breaking.

She gulped once more and gave a stupid laugh, looking around.

The bar was packed full of a lot of people and the smell of cigarettes, alcohol and sweat rang the air.
