I got to the bathroom just in time to throw up my coffee.

I flushed the toilet and staggered towards the sink.

I looked terrible. My face was drained of color.

I cleaned the side of my mouth and took in deep breaths. This is what happens when you put a man on top of your list of priorities.

The last time I felt like this, I promised to guard myself jealously but here I was, falling into the same mistake.

Again, I prayed this was all some nightmare and I’ll wake up soon.

All I could see as my

  • THE MAN I SLEPT WITH IS MY BOSS   Chapter 7

    I had a few options. One was to tell Vanessa what happened and take the guilt off my chest especially because I knew what it felt like to be in that position. And then of course face the consequences.The second was to run away and start my life again in a new city.How long was I going to keep running away? I ran away from home and I haven’t spoken to anyone because I was still hurt by all that had happened and I was close to doing the same thing again.Now, I sat in front of my desk going through the details of a new project.It had only been two days here at the office and I was loving it already. There was no doubt that I was going to grow professionally and strengthen my skills. The work was challenging, the environment was impressive and everyone was welcoming.Well, almost everyone.How could I focus when Derek was just a few offices away from me?I sighed and scrolled through the project documents.I needed to stop thinking about him.Derek ghosting me was one thing but him

She kept asking if I was okay and she even offered me water until I had to excuse myself to use the bathroom.She was completely unaware that her husband and I had spent nights making love until sunrise. She didn’t deserve any of this.I had been the other woman.The realization hit me so hard that I gripped the sink for support.I wanted to scream my lungs out.I wanted to storm into his

  • THE MAN I SLEPT WITH IS MY BOSS   Chapter Five

    I woke up with a splitting headache. I always imagined my first day at my big girl job would be perfect. I’ll wake up early to make myself a nice breakfast and watch my favorite show while I eat. I had picked out an expensive suit and some red bottoms because I wanted to make an impression on my first day. Now, I lay in bed with swollen eyes and an alarm that wouldn’t stop ringing. It’s been a week since Derek decided to ghost me and all I've done is rot in bed and wallow in self-pity. I was already late. I was about to throw out an opportunity I worked on for years because of a man. “Shit,”I scrambled out of bed and nearly tripped over a pile of laundry. My apartment was a replica of how I felt, messy and sad. Instead of the outfit I had planned, I threw on the first blouse I could find. I paired it with some trousers and hoped no one would notice how swollen my eyes were.My hair refused to cooperate.My makeup looked rushed. Thank you very much, Derek.By the time I wa

  • THE MAN I SLEPT WITH IS MY BOSS   Chapter Four

    Between the mind-blowing sex, Derek's amazing cooking and our long drives through the city, I couldn’t pick which was my favorite. Spending time with him was bliss. For the first time in years, I felt like I had nothing to worry about. I had also learned a few things, like his favorite book. His favorite book was the notebook. Who would have thought a man like Derek was also a reader? “El, are you judging me again?” he asked with a smile on his lips one evening as we laid together on his couch. I laughed. “No, I’m not. I’m just really shocked.” “Because I’m attractive?”I rolled my eyes. “You look like you’d snap a man’s head in half. You remind me of the boys my mom used to warn me about.”He laughed softly and placed a kiss on my forehead. “Your mom was wrong then,” A week and half ago, I didn’t even know this man existed. Now, I knew what he smelled like, the way he liked his coffee and how he kissed my forehead when he thought I was asleep. My mother won’t approve

  • THE MAN I SLEPT WITH IS MY BOSS   Chapter Three

    I’ve spent the last four days paying Derek back what I owe him. By paying back, we’ve been hanging out with each other every day. He has taken me to the city’s park and aquarium, and we’ve been to a lot of fine dining restaurants, and we’ve been avoiding alcohol because of the last time. If this was his idea of paying him back for throwing up in his car, then I was ready to keep paying him back. I know it’s just been a few days but I looked forward to seeing him. Contrary to how cold and dangerous he looked, he was really sweet. He knew the right things to say to make me blush and we were almost always laughing. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, I know. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but now, I was staring out the window like a teenager in love, waiting for his black Ferrari to pull up in my driveway.The second I spotted his car down the street, butterflies erupted violently in my stomach.I adjusted my sundress and reapplied my lip gloss. I hated how my stoma

  • THE MAN I SLEPT WITH IS MY BOSS   Chapter Two

    You know how I said I never wanted anything to do with a man from this city? Yeah, I lied. The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the pristine white walls. They were blinding. The second thing I noticed was the headache that was threatening to split my skull into two. I tried to stretch but my body was too tired. My eyes snapped open. This was not my room. I sat up so fast, my heart started racing. From the floor to ceiling windows to the expensive furniture, the walk-in closet and the faint smell of his perfume. None of these were mine. Panic set in quickly.I looked down at myself. The black dress I had on from last night was gone. I had on an oversized shirt and old pajamas. My heart sank.Did I have sex with Derek? Did I just have a one-night stand with a man I met at a freaking bar?I could hear mama's voice in my head asking me where my self-respect was. This is exactly why I avoided situations like this. I threw the blankets off me and stumbled out
