After the storm [Finished]

15- Untold (Part 2)

The next morning, I woke up alone in my bed but Ryan's scent still lingered on my bedsheets. I reincorporated in the bed and I saw my clothes spread on the floor.

I was slowly brought to reality by the memories of the night before.

"What have I done?", I grabbed my head unable to believe it. "I must be crazy". I contemplated the scenes coming to my head. "Should I act as if nothing happened? Or should I talk with him?" I questioned myself.

It's not like I didn't like Ryan, I actually liked him. I was even thinking about inviting him out a few weeks ago but after what Philip said last night I wasn't sure about it. I wasn't sure about being ready to go out with someone new either. It's not like I wanted something serious with him right away but... Ah! The anxiety was invading me again.

I decided to get up and take a shower to clear up my mind and face whatever happened once I stepped out of my room.

After a long shower and dressing up, I went out of my room to make myself a bowl of cereal. The moment I placed a foot out, I saw Ryan's back. He was making coffee in the kitchen.

"Hi". I said, but my voice was trapped in my throat. I cough a bit to clear it up. "Good morning".

"Good morning", he said turning briefly to me. I walked to the kitchen, took my bowl, put in some cereal, and purred some milk.

"And Jan?", I asked.

"He left already". He purred some coffee in his mug.

"Ah...". We exchanged some glances in silence. It seemed he was not going to talk first, but he looked like he wanted me to say something. "Ryan, about last night..."

"Hm?"

"Well...". I felt nervous and his eyes on me didn't help a bit.

"Do you want to make it as if nothing happened as last time?"

"No, it's... what?" I stared at him trying to process it. "Last time... do you mean..."

"Like that time at the club".

"Did you know it was me? Since when?"

"Of course, I knew it was you. Since the beginning". He added to answer my question.

"Why did you say nothing?!"

"You said nothing either". I got angry, but I couldn't say a thing because he was right.

"Sorry, let's talk later".

I took my bowl of cereal and headed to my room. I gave a quick glance at Ryan while leaving, he looked confused but I was confused too. I needed to think about it now. The fact Ryan knew it was me that night at the club changed things up, didn't it?
