Trust Issues

CHAPTER ONE

Ugh my head, why is the sun so bright? Couldn't this guy afford a less lumpy bed? This place reeks of his cologne. Note to self next time you sleep with some guy from a bar make sure he doesn't smell like the cologne section of shoppers.

He still has his arms around me so I won't be able to slip away without him waking up. Glad I took the day off, I won't have to worry about being late.

I rather spend my day indulging in myself instead of in this guy's bed. Grace isn't working this week, I'll call her and have a self care day. I'm going to really need it, especially after last week.

Ok now I need to use the washroom, he needs to move his hand now.

I gently shake his shoulder and his eyes slowly flutter open, he smiles and kisses my forehead. I force a smile and stroke his cheek. I rather he not get attached, a relationship is the last thing I'm looking for right now.

"I need to pee."

"Oh, my bad I'll let go of your waist."

"Where are my clothes?"

"I put them on the chair over there."

"Oh, thanks."

I slowly dragged myself off the bed, grabbed my clothes and went into the washroom. I'm too lazy to fix my hair so I just throw it into a bun. I slip on my clothes and flush the toilet before I walk out. Now it's time to come up with an excuse so I can leave.

I can already see where this will go if I stay. He'll say that we should do this again and that will lead to us being friends with benefits. He'll catch feelings and I'll have to call the whole thing off, I rather skip the drama.

"My boss just texted me, she wants me to come in today."

"Oh, that's too bad. I was going to ask if you wanted breakfast."

"I'm fine, we have a cafe in the building. It was nice knowing you."

"Wait! Can I at least have your number?"

"Sorry sweetie I stopped making commitments, toodles."

And with that I managed to avoid another opportunity to move onto the next guy.

Grace is definitely not going to be happy, he was actually a decent guy; not like the type you usually find at clubs.

Speaking of Grace I should text her, we have a pamper day to get to.

[Me: Heyyy gurl!]

[Grace: What?]

[Me:You up for a self care day?]

[Grace: You ditched the guy I set you up with last night didn't you?]

[Me:....]

[Grace: You're impossible. Why do you keep on doing this? You aren't still in love with Jake are you?]

[Me: What? No! Of course not.]

[Grace: Then why do you keep sending away the good guys? Look I know you've been down after running into him and his new...girl last week. But you need to cheer up, you're free. You can do whatever you want now without Mr.helicopter boy monitoring your every move.]

[Me:Turns out the helicopter was just nosy to make sure he wouldn't get caught cheating. And now he's rubbing her new engagement ring in my face every chance he gets; he did that for an entire week grace..a whole week!]

[Grace: That was the most pettiest thing I've ever heard. I always said you were the brains in the relationship.]

[Me: Ugh, why are we still talking about him? We should be talking about what we're going to do for self care day.]
