Guilty Pleasure

Windows Series Cont. 3

The next time I came to, I was in the darkness of Eve's room. The lights from the bathroom were brightly shining and the floors looked a complete mess. I stretched my arms and legs catching a cramp in my calf and shot myself up. 

I was naked... again. I gently tapped my forehead reminding myself that I can't fall into my old habits. The blanket that I had was draped around my waist and I slipped out of bed carefully. Eve was nowhere to be found, but it seems she left some clothes on the end of the bed for me with some simple hygiene items. Lotions, socks, new underwear, etc. 

I slipped them on and went to the living room. It was sunset and extreme guilt and embarrassment crashed down on me. 

"I fell asleep during sex... again" I moaned looking around. I went to her kitchen and saw on the counter a small note from her.

Ill be back. I had to handle some business. -Evelyn

"Well you could've woken me up, at least." I put my shoes on, scanned my keycard and hopped into the elevator. It dropped two floor before the woman above where I lived stepped in. Her hair looked wild as if she had a chaotic time and then I saw Eve step in as well. Her face dropped looking at me.

I simply waved and by the time my floor came we both jumped into my apartment. This is one of the things I did not like about this place. 

"How are you feeling?" She asked cooly.

"Fine, how are you? You seemed startled to see me." My eyebrow shot up knowing that an assumption of my thoughts came. 

"Well I thought that if you had seen..."

"You with another woman I would feel offended? Not necessarily. This building is full of women." I told her. 

"So..."

"So..." I countered. "Do you want to tell me who she is or do you want to keep acting like theres something to hide."

"We were leaving from a small family party."

"So you don't want to tell me." I walked deeper into my apartment preparing tea and offering her some. She held a shallow looking face in the doorway. I held up hot cup of peppermint tea. "Thank you for the baggy clothes. How did you know?"

" Studs like baggy clothes. You are a stud aren't you?"

Is this girl some sort of idiot or am? Does she like baggy clothes because she's a stud. I bit my tongue and narrowed my eyes already picking up that she assumes a lot.

"Something of the sort. I prefer to live my life how I want."I took a sip enjoying the hot tea. "But, what can I do for you? The Christmas party cant be over yet."

"It wasn't a party. It was simply a gathering for my family."

"I'm going to assume that was your sister you had to escort to her place?"

"No." She shook her head quickly, "It was... an ex of mine." Eve Grimaced. 

"Your parents keep your exes around for holiday parties?" I honestly had a mildly difficult time understanding the reasoning of this situation. She stood there looking at me as if I tried to kick her over a woman. 

The woman I saw in the elevator didn't look so bad to me in the first place, and it wasn't as if they were hugging and kissing. She just looked drunk. A state I hope to be in quite soon again. Regardless I reminded Eve that she should probably go a look for her since she did leave her in the elevator. 

Ever perked up immediately shaking off the ill look and heading to the elevator explaining that she didn't have to look far because this happens very often. She put her key to the elevator scanner and the doors slid open.
