I looked around and saw a very familiar room, I was in Alec's room. I quickly sat up in the speed of lightning, letting his lean, muscled arm fall to the side. When I stood up, I became dizzy due to the fast movement I'd made while getting out of the bed. I sat down on the nearest chair in order to stabilize myself.
“YOU MORON WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?” I yelled furiously when my head stabilized. This was the worst of all things that could possibly have happened, me ending up on his STD ridden bed. Disgusting.
“Morning babe,” Alec greeted with a smile on his face. He acted like it was the most normal thing ever and that made me infuriated. “You look beautiful this morning.”
“I'm not interested in your greetings,” I said sternly. “I asked you a question?”
“I know you did,” He said, stretching himself. “What do you think I did to you? Don't you think what we did is obvious?”
I hoped he was lying because that would be the worst thing that ever happened to me. I wanted my first sexual encounter to be special, something I'd want to remember forever not a drunken mistake with the worst person I had ever met.
“Okay, tell me what happened?” I said in lower tone. Maybe it was better to settle things in a calmer way. Knowing Alec, he probably got off on other people’s anger, considering he liked infuriating them.
“Hey, don't be rude to me.”
“I just need to know everything,” I was calmer. “And, please stop calling me babe.”
“Will I get paid if I tell you?” He inquired with a smirk.
“Depends.”
“On?”
“Depends on what form of payment you are talking about,” I said. “I don't trust you, moron.”
“I accept only one form of payment from pretty girls and I think you know that very well,” He said with a smirk.
“That could be money, right?” I knew very well what he was talking about but decided to act dumb.
“How much money do you want?” I continued. I wanted to really laugh at this point but that was the last thing on my mind.
“All of it,” He whispered.
“All of it?” I repeated, confused. Why on earth would he expect me to give him all my money? I was pretty sure I had not reached that level of desperation.
“By it, I mean your amazing body.”
“You know what? I'm done with you.” I stood up to go. “I don't care anymore.”
I wasn't going to listen to him if he couldn't tell me what I needed to hear. I only remembered getting drunk but nothing more. I'd never drank like I'd done that night and I hoped I'd never do it again because having a faulty memory of events isn't something pleasant. I walked towards the door and I could feel his eyes on my body, something which made hurry.
“Wait!” Alec shouted.
I turned to look back. He was shirtless. He had sat up giving me a good view of his perfect, well sculptured body. I tried to focus on his handsome face because if I kept on gazing at the body, I'd lose it all and that was the last thing I wanted at the moment.
“What?”
“Let me make this clear, I didn't do anything to you,” He said, smirking. “I know that soon you'll be begging for me and that will be the perfect time for us.”
“That's never going to happen,” I said and walked to the door, only to find it locked.
“Dammit!” I muttered.
“Where's the key, Alec?” I asked facing him. He had a wicked grin on his face.
“I knew you'd come back,” he chuckled. “If you ready, come and get it, na na na...”
He looked really childish, singing that song.
I knew he wasn't talking about the key anymore so I interrupted him. “Just get me the key, idiot”
“What if I don't?” He asked, getting out of the bed in only boxers. My gaze went down as my foolish head was imagining how he looked down there, size and all. I shook it to free myself from such lustful thoughts.
He came towards me. “You said you wanted-”
“I WANT THE DOOR KEY, ALEC!”
He didn't stop moving towards me. I took a step back.
“Excuse me, Alec.” I said in desperation. “I need to go.”
“It's a Saturday so we can spend the day in this lovely room, baby.” He smirked. “We could do lots of interesting stuff.”
I wished I could slash his perfect neck so he'd be smirking and grinning even in death.
Snapping out of my deathly thought, I caught him looking straight into my eyes. I stared back at him like it was a staring contest but that was a very bad decision. Just looking into his eyes made me want him. He had not even touched me but I felt an ache in my midsection.
“It's okay,” He said. “Sit down I'll tell you everything.”
He held my wrist leading me to the bed and he sat next to me. That touch of a hand made my whole body quiver with excitement. I felt so many feelings that I'd never felt for a long time. It was like my body was being awakened.
“Alright,” I said.
Alec didn't look his usual happy, arrogant self and I wondered what the problem was.
“At around midnight...” He stopped and seemed to think for a moment. “Before I continue I would like to...”
He looked deep into my eyes and...
Lynn’s POVAs I walked through the door of the cozy restaurant, I spotted Alec immediately siting at the bar. He had wanted to pick me up but I had insisted on getting there by myself so I had taken a taxi. Alec’s face lit up when he saw me and he stood up, a broad smile spreading across his handsome face. He was looking so damn good. He walked over to give me a hug. “You look amazing,” he said.I smiled. “You too.”We made small talk as we waited for our table. When it was ready, a waitress came and led us there. After getting our orders, she went to the back. The restaurant was filled with the sound of clinking glasses and a low hum of conversation. Our table was by the fireplace which provided a warm glow to the room. “I love this place,” I said, taking a sip of red wine. “We should come here more often.”Alec nodded in agreement, taking a bite of his steak. “The food is perfect and the ambience is very relaxing. I’m hooked and we will definitely return to this place.”I picked u
Lynn’s POVWe were all eating at the table. While Jen and Kari were chatting happily, I was fidgeting nervously with my hands as I tried to gather the courage to tell them what was on my mind. I knew that this was not going to be an easy conversation. After a lot of internal conflict, I took a deep breath and blurted out. “I’m getting back together with Alec.”They looked at me in shock.“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Jen asked. “I mean, considering everything he did to you. You were pretty hurt and I don’t want to see you get hurt like that again.”I nodded. “It’s not going to be easy, and I don’t think everything will always be perfect, but Alec and I are willing to work through our problems, and start over.”Kari chipped in. “What about all the times he hurt you? Don’t you think you deserve better?”I sighed. “You guys don’t know the whole story.”“What’s the whole story?” Jane inquired. “Tell us so we can understand why you would choose to do something like this.”I told the
LynnThe next Saturday was cold and rainy. I was curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee and a blanket. Kari and Jen had gone to a seminar and I was all alone. I couldn’t stop thinking about Alec. As the rain pounded against the windows of my apartment, I remembered all the good times Alec and I had shared. The way he used to make me laugh, the way we spooned when it was cold, the way he held me when I was upset and the way he always kissed me softly before going to bed.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I wished I could turn back time and fix things. However much I tried, I could not stop thinking about Alec. I buried myself in studies during the week, thinking that it would help get him off my mind but it did not work. I missed him, and I needed him. I couldn’t stop hating myself for ruining every good thing that came my way. I unlocked my phone and scrolled through the beautiful pictures we had taken together. Feelings of longing and sadness washed over me.Deciding that I had had
LynnIf I was going to see Alec and try to convince him to take me back, I needed to look my best. I was not very good at makeup but I had to try. I had recently started experimenting while watching tutorials online. Now was the time to put those skills to use. I sat at the vanity, and observed my face. There were dark circles under my eyes, probably due to all the crying I’d been doing since Alec and I broke up. I was a mess and was counting on the make up to make me look like a living person.After applying primer to my face, I opened my makeup kit. I applied foundation, blending it carefully and making sure I covered the entire face evenly. Next, I applied a thick layer of concealer under my eyes to cover the dark circles. I lined my eyes with black eyeliner to create a smoky look. After adding some mascara, I applied red lipstick and finished of the look with some bronzer to add warmth to my cheeks.When I was sure I looked presentable enough, I stood up and took one last look at
Lynn’s POVAlec had blocked my number. That was the only reasonable explanation for that. Alec was one person whose phone was always on. I fell back on the bed as my eyes moistened. I thought I had lost him forever. After a long crying session, I wiped my face and went out of the bedroom. The moment I opened the door, the smell of pancakes assaulted me. It felt so good waking up to breakfast prepared by someone else. This was something that Alec would never do, and neither would lazy Kari. Frowning, I went to the kitchen to find out who was saving our hungry a**es.“Good morning, Lynn.” Jen yelled. She was wearing a black apron under a white t-shirt and blue jeans.“Good morning,” I said. “Didn’t know you slept over.”“How could you know when you ignored all of us and locked yourself in the room before the party ended? What happened to you?”“I was not feeling great.”“Didn’t that walk help? You should have just drunk more beer. It would have made sleeping easier. You look like you di
Lynn’s POVKari had only been back for two days but she had turned the apartment into one of those you see in décor magazine pages. The apartment looked so neat and perfect, and there was no mess. It was back to the way it was pre-Alec. I had enjoyed living with Alec but having to do most of the organising by myself had been a little draining. It was a relief to see someone else putting things in order.The apartment looked livelier than it had been before. A few of our other friends had been invited to the small party we were having. It was a reunion and reconciliation party, an idea that Kari came up with. She wanted to apologize to me in a proper way. According to her, having a reconciliation party was the proper way.Kari’s parties were organized and pretty tame, unlike those that Alec had organized. The atmosphere was cool and the music soft. I realised I had missed these kind of parties a lot. Most of Alec’s friends were loud and boisterous, yet I preferred to mingle with calm a
