LUCIA“Cheers!” I heard myself yell along with a few other people which I shared a table with. The clicking of our glasses echoed around the hall as I downed my drink in one gulp. It was my second drink tonight, and I knew it was definitely not going to be the last.Today was a day of celebration. It was Bethany’s wedding, my best friend in the entire world, and I was her maid of honour. I had lived in Austria for about a couple of years, and even though returning to New York was a difficult decision to make, it was one that I had to go through with.I had to be here for my ride or die, of course, but there were still other pressing matters.“Oh, there you are!” I heard Bethany exclaim, instantly snapping me out of my reverie, and my face broke into a small grin. One that was reserved for her and only her. She had changed from her wedding dress, and now, she wore a beautiful blush pink, strapless dress which complimented her fair skin tone perfectly. She was such a beautiful bride

LUCIA I tried to remember why that name sounded so familiar and where I had heard it from, but my brain was so foggy that it was basically futile, and I had no choice but to give up.“It’s nice to meet you, Lucia.” Jeremy said in that rich, baritone voice of his, snapping me out of my reverie, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t like the way he said my name.“It’s nice to meet you too, Jeremy.” I answered with a smile. Jeremy. I had no idea why, but for some reason, I thought that the name suited him perfectly.Jeremy still held on to my hand, and his bright blue eyes, which were still intense on mine, made me nervous.“Would you like to talk and maybe have some drinks? I would like to know more about you.” My heart instantly did a flip in my chest. Usually, I would say no to that. I was not the kind of person that would agree to hang out with a complete stranger, but maybe because I was not in my right mind, or maybe it was because of the man standing in front of me, but I co

LUCIAAll the blood drained from my face, and my heart pounded loudly against my chest as I stared at the man sleeping peacefully next to me. I couldn’t believe I had sex with a stranger. I couldn’t believe I had a one night stand, and it was with someone who was obviously younger than me!What came over me last night?! How could I have been so irresponsible?! I was so captivated by him that all my reasoning was thrown out the window, and now I had ended up in this awkward situation. I looked out the window, a loud sigh escaping my lips. It was already bright outside and I couldn’t imagine how awkward it would be to go out in last night’s clothes.If Beth caught me like this, she would not let me live it down. I let out another sigh, a silent one, as I ran my fingers through my hair in an agitated manner before looking back at the beautiful man. I needed to leave before he woke up. I wouldn’t be able to stand the awkwardness if he met me here.I slowly got up from the bed and pick

LUCIAThe few days that passed after the wedding, my thoughts wandered over and over to the stranger and the only thing that prevented me from losing my mind was the fact that I would be resuming my job soon.That thought alone was enough to keep me slightly grounded. Beth would have helped to distract me from thinking about him, but she was currently in Italy with her husband for their honeymoon.I missed her badly, but my life had to go on.Over the weekend, I managed to organize my stuff, and my apartment now looked livable . After going through the necessary procedures, I would need to begin my new job online, I was ready.On Monday morning, I alighted from the cab and stood in front of Crawford University with my heart pounding loudly in my chest.I was extremely excited about my new job, but at the same time, I was nervous, and I had no idea what to expect. I let out deep breaths, wiping my sweaty hands over my black wide-leg pants, before adjusting my pristine white shirt, wh
