The first thing I registered was music. The soft notes allowed me to drift in and out of consciousness slowly. My head was beating like a drum and my eyes felt like it was about to roll out of my sockets. I groaned throwing my arm over my face realizing then, that my mask was still in place. What the hell happened? Was I in a bed? I groaned as I slowly moved to sit up. I forced my eyes to open slowly, thankfully the room was dark. My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I instantly realized I wasn't in my room. What the hell? Where am I? I quickly started to panic, my headache forgotten. I looked down and gasped. Where the hell are my clothes? Oh my God, what did I do? The ache between my thighs gave me the answer I needed. My eyes swam with tears as the reality of what happened sunk in and I stumbled out of the unknown bed half blind. I began searching for my clothes and noticed that the king sized bed was empty. Trying not to dwell on it further, I continued my search. I found my leather costume in the corner of the bed and tucked it under my arm quickly. I found my shoes shortly after near what I realized was the bathroom door. The door was gently cracked allowing the music to flow through the bedroom, the light was on and I heard the sound of running water. Who was this mysterious man? Why would I give him such power over me? Why did I sleep with him? Apart of me itched to see who this stranger was, to see what made him so different, but a bigger part of me wanted to get out and avoid any confrontation. I started to look for my phone, but I couldn't see anything. The water in the bathroom shut off quickly and my heart sunk to my stomach as I ducked out of the door, phone forgotten. I opened the bedroom door, revealing an entire living room. Wow, a Penthouse? There was a large coat that hung near the door and I quickly threw it on, not wanting to struggle with my leather costume again. I noticed my phone near the door and grabbed it quietly. I tipped out of the room quickly and headed for the nearest elevator. What had I done? How could I let this happen? I'm so stupid. With a beating headache I struggled to find Cat's and my room. My cellphone was dead which made matters a lot worse. Finally, after over fifteen minutes I managed to find our room. I was about to knock when the door was suddenly yanked open.
"Oh my God, oh thank God, Ava!" Cat said pulling me into a hug."Are you okay? I was looking everywhere for you! I was about to get security. Where were you and what are you wearing?" She rambled looking over my body.
I allowed her to pull me inside while I collected my thoughts.
"What happened last night?" I asked."I don't know. I left you by the bar to dance and when I went back, you were gone. I got worried, but I saw you dancing with a guy in V.I.P. One minute you were there and then you vanished. I was looking for you for hours Ava." She said.
"What time is it?"
"It's nearly 6 am, I lost you by 1." She answered.
"God, Catherine I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid. I was so drunk." I said holding my head.
Catherine lead me to the bed and handed me a bottle of water and pills."I figured. You were giving him a hard time and the next thing you were bumping and grinding on the dance floor." She said.
"God, why didn't you stop me?"
"I tried to! Don't you remember?"
I shook my head completely blank. I can hardly remember anything.
"You told me to leave you alone, that you were having fun. You were beginning to make a scene so I decided the watch you from afar. Then you went all Houdini on me. Seriously, what are you wearing?" She asked looking at the coat.I yanked the mask off my face frustrated.
"Cat forget about what I'm wearing! I made the biggest mistake of my life.""You slept with him didn't you?" She asked sadly. I nodded in shame.
"I woke up in the guy's penthouse Cat. I don't remember what I did, who he was, what he looked like. I just wanted to get the hell out of there." I explained.
