More Than Just One Night

The Morning After

The next morning, the sun shines through the window onto the bed where the two lay asleep cuddled in the bed naked from their activities of the night before.

She groans as the sun shines in her eyes, he is unbothered since his head is in her neck. She yawns stretching before her eyes flutter open adjusting to the light.

As she looks around the room, she doesn't know where she is so she begins to panic before flashes of the night before fill her mind.

"God damn it Lizzie," she mumbles to herself.

She puts her arms on her face as the sleeping man pulls her closer to him. She gently moves his arm from over her stomach and moves quietly off the bed. She starts picking up her clothes from the night before.

"Where the hell is my bra?"

"Over here."

She freezes before slowly turning to look at her male companion holding up her bra. She awkwardly walks over taking the bra from him as she starts getting dressed. She holds up her ripped panties making him chuckle.

"Sorry about that, you can borrow my boxers if you want."

"Thanks."

She picks up the boxers by her feet throwing them on before buttoning up her blouse sitting on the bed.

"Are you staying for breakfast?"

He moves her hair and places gentle kisses on her shoulder sending shivers down her spine as she starts to pull up her jeans.

"No, this was a mistake. We were drunk and-"

"It meant something-"

"No it didn't, we don't even know each other's names!"

"It meant something to me."

She turns to look at him pulling up her jeans as he looks into her green eyes. She sighs grabbing her bag and phone leaving the room as he follows with the sheets around him.

"At least let me drive you home."

"I'll call my friend."

"Come on my car is just outside."

"No! God! It was just a one night stand nothing more. I just wanted to forget my failed marriage. We will never see each other again so forget me."

"And what if I can't?"

"You will."

She leaves him standing by the door as she leaves the apartment building to wait for her friend to pick her up.

She looks down touching her neck when she realises her necklace from her mom is missing, she gets a flash from the night before.

The two dancing on dance floor when she leans into his ear.

"Can you mind my necklace? I'm afraid I will lose it."

"Sure, I'll put it in my pocket."

She takes off her necklace handing it to him and he puts it in his pocket before they continue dancing.

Scarlett pulls up outside rolling down her window as Lizzie walks towards her car.

"You ready to go Lizzie?"

"I left my mom's necklace in there she's gonna kill me."

She gets into the car closing the door and putting her seatbelt on.

"Just go back in and get it."

"No. He keeps wanting to see me again."

"That's sweet."
