I woke up yawning so loud, I forgot I didn't sleep alone for a second. In an instant my eyes snap to look at the man sleeping next to me. He is relaxed making him more desirable and
breathtaking. It's almost like I got a second chance just to watch him in bed. I was too drunk the last time. My mind drifted to last night. We enter the elevator and the air is thick with unsaid words. I pushed our floor number and while we waited I broke the silence. Felt the need to explain
myself.

"I am sorry if this is uncomfortable for you. But I thought it wouldn't be fair to you to spend the night looking for a hotel while we all sleep comfortably. It's been a long day." I explain avoiding eye contact and playing with my hand.

"Thank you." The words felt like balm to my wound. If I had any.

"You are welcome Sir."

"Call me Ireoluwa."

"Do you know my name?" I asked.

"Ayomikun." I smiled to myself. On time the elevator dings and we walk out. We find room 1402 down the hall and I open it. The room is elegant but the first thing I look at is the bed. Thank God, it's big enough for two. I drop my bed where on the side of the bed I want to sleep. My heart is doing somersaults but I breathe.

"It's beautiful. And the bed is big." I say initiating small talk to take the edge off.

"Yes. It is."

"I forgot to ask, what side of the bed is comfortable for you." I point to the bed and look at him. My breathe hitches. Wow! Now i see why girls can't exercise restrain when there is a
man around.

"Am I sleeping on the bed? I'd be happy to take the floor." He says

"Nonsense. Might as well ask you to go look for an hotel. How could I sleep on this big bed alone. Sleep on the bed it's big enough for two." I said assertively

"It's not like we haven't done this before, right? You don't have to go out of your way to make me comfortable. I can work with any side of the bed. It's fine." I am quiet now and my
eyebrows shot up.

"What do you mean? I thought you didn't remember." I narrow my eyes at him

"Remember what? I meant we've each slept with people before. Did I say something wrong?" He looks apologetic. There is something ire is not telling me Or, maybe I am overthinking it.

"No no… nothing. Ignore it. Totally, I have slept with people. Loads. I'll use the shower first." I laugh hysterically.
Of course, I am 28 I should have had sex with many people because that's what is in vogue.

There are no virgins or inexperienced women in the world anymore. Because girls who are keeping themselves for someone special are one in a billion. Wrong! There are many of us out there in hiding because we are seen as uncool and socially unacceptable.

I ran into the bathroom and locked it. Talk of not embarrassing myself, I just openly called myself a slut. I blush. Fully clothed, I walk out of the bath dabbing my neck with the ultra
soft towel.

"I ordered rice for both of us. I thought you might be hungry. You can change it if you don't like it, when the person gets here."

"Oh! I love rice thank you." I am wearing a cute pyjamas, one I got from Jola's Boutique. That's ironically the name of her store. Jola's Boutique. After dinner,I lay on my side of the bed facing away from him. I could hear him get into bedside me. I glance at him and he has his laptop on his lap.
