Lights

Chapter 2

I adjusted my eyes to the light, looking around the room and closing my eyes once more. My eyes fly open, now staring at the messy curly-headed man laying next to me, his arm draped on top of my back as I'm laying on my stomach. I slowly roll onto my back, his arm now resting on my stomach.

Maybe I did get drunker than I thought.

I check under the blanket to see if what I think actually happened, happened.

It did in fact happen. I was naked in this man's bed, don't get me wrong he's a very attractive man but I didn't think this would happen. I was hoping it wasn't going to turn into a one-night stand but I don't know what I was expecting and I can't stay here to just be kicked out and embarrassed.

Should I leave my number? Should I just leave? Should I stay? I really wish I could call Jordyn right about now cause she would know what to do.

I held my breath and looked at Harry to make sure he was still asleep, once I knew he was, I slowly scanned the room for all of my clothing items.

Dress, check, bra, check, handbag, check, and panties, not check.... Looks like I'll be doing my walk of shame commando style.

I gently lift his arm off and roll to the side to where his arm is now laying on the bed as I slip out of the comforter. Standing up was painful, my whole body seemed to ache and I wanted nothing more than to just plop into bed. I could see why once I got to the bathroom, bruises and hickeys covered my body.

I may not remember anything from last night, but damn.

I frantically got dressed, checking one last time for my panties. They could be anywhere and I don't have the time to look for them anymore, he could wake up any minute now and I would prefer to not be here when he does.

I tiptoed out of his room and into the hallway, leading to his living room. I couldn't help but notice he had a bouquet of flowers on his counter from last night, we gave everyone who came flowers as a thank you.

I looked through his shelves for a vase, which was probably a terrible thing to do, seeing as I am invading his personal space.

I put water into the vase and placed the flowers in, setting it down in the middle of the counter. I grab a sticky note, sticking it next to the flowers, pen in mouth as I think of what to say that won't come out awkward.

Suddenly, my phone starts to buzz as I look down.

Shit, my mom's calling me.

I drop the pen as I decline the call, frantically looking towards the hallway to see if that woke him up. When I heard no movement I frantically looked for the pen, leaving with a naked note.

I slowly opened the door and step out, trying my best to be as quiet as possible to close the door. Once I successfully did, I walked out to his driveway, staring at the street and the sun bouncing off the black concrete.

Well shit. I forgot Jordyn drove me to the party, so Harry must have driven me to his place. Meaning I have no ride home and I'm not about to call an uber in front of his house.

I started to walk out of his neighborhood, figured I might as well either call Jordyn or an uber once I'm out of the neighborhood. Walking out onto the street, clouds started to cover the sun, I made it to the main road right when I heard the thunder, calling the uber, the sky started to drizzle and suddenly raining down on me hard as I run for safety.

Best. Walk of shame. Ever...... My mom was right I should have taken an umbrella before leaving.

Waiting inside a restaurant, looking out the window while I'm waiting for my ride, the rain dripping down the glass, and I'm dressed like I just came from a big event but it's only 9:00 in the morning, so a lot of attention is being drawn towards me on a Saturday morning.
