The sun hits my face through the curtains, and I groan and burry my head into a pillow. My head is throbbing after last night's two mojitos, and I feel awful. Then my eyes shot open when I hear there is someone beside me. carefully I look over and joe is laying there naked under the covers and as I see that I realize I'm naked too. We had sex? Yes, we did! The event of last night comes back into my mind and I don't know how to deal with them

** flashback **

we are in the back of my town car coming back from a party and we are clearly intoxicated after several mojitos. Beside me one of my best friends are sitting with his hand on my thigh and I'm all for it. Our eyes were on one another from across the rom the entire party and somehow we ended up in the back of a car together going back to my apartment. Our lips are interlocked, and I feel the taste of alcohol being exchanged between us, but I don't care.

** end of flashback **

Fuck we really went home together last night. That really happened. Carefully I slip out of bed and quickly grab some lounge wear from my wardrobe before sneaking out the bedroom door and into the kitchen. Coffee, I need coffee to think about this.

as the coffee is slowly dripping into the pot I can't help but wonder about what the man in my bed is thinking. From the first time I laid eyes on him I knew that he was something different, but I was with Adam and obviously couldn't act on anything, so I ignored him all night. When we meet again, we exchanged numbers and became instant friends, so it's been nice to have someone that wants to hang out with me these days.

before I can think anything else there is steps coming towards me as I pour myself a cup of coffee "Taylor?" joe says as he walks into the kitchen fully dressed and as our eyes meet we stand there in total silence. Usually we don't have any awkward silence situations but now there is a big elephant in the room.

"I.... did we?" he says with a hesitant tone and my heartrate speeds up "yeah, we did" I say and look everywhere but at him. This probably ruined everything between us, we will never be the same. I mean, how could we? We are friends that slept together, and I for one can never forget that.

He scratches the back of his neck "sorry about that. I wasn't thinking... I... I don't know.... I should probably go" he says and my heart sinks to the ground. I don't know what I was expecting actually, but he seems kind of embarrassed about it. Was I bad in bed or something? "Can we like... forget about it and go back to being friends?" he says and there it is, the friend zone.

"Yeah, sure. Let's forget about it" the words escape my lips, but I don't really mean it, I don't think it's possible to forget this night. It's probably the best sex I've ever had, and he really knows what he is doing.

The silence falls over us once more for several minutes before he clears his throat "well, I'll see you around Tay" he says and walks out after I say bye too.

As I hear the door close behind him I sink down on a chair and hold my coffee cup tightly. How the fuck did I do this? Once more I fucked up a friendship with my careless actions. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here, and I know it's my fault. Again, I don't really know what kind of response I was expecting, we aren't dating so he has no obligation, but we used to have endless conversations but now it didn't seem like we knew what to say at all. All I know is that things will never go back to what they once were.

I grab a taxi back to the hotel and I can't stop thinking about last night. How could I be so fucking stupid, I took things too far. I've been crushing on her since the first time we meet, but she obviously doesn't feel the same way. I'm a nobody and she is Taylor fucking swift. Yeah, we are close friends, but she only sees me as that. last night though, was just incredible and I can't get it out of my head.
