Enemies With Benefits

EWB 30

Caleb

Where the hell did that come from?!?!

Here I was, trying to be on my best behavior so I could weasel my way back on Hailey's good graces, and my stupid brain decides to say something, out loud may I add, that incredibly stupid?!?

On the other hand, it did earn a somewhat good reaction from her friends, but they're not the one I'm trying to get my good graces on! The fuck is wrong with me?!

After she saw me with some girl too.

Maybe it was a mistake to go out drinking with the other interns on a Thursday night and get some girl home...

My god.

My. God.

In my defense, it's not like she'd care anyways. She has a boyfriend.

Right...

I totally understand why she was currently glaring at me right now.

She was also blushing tho, probably in embarrassment, but whatever reaction I got out of her was either gonna make my case or I was gonna be completely dead to her.

So before I could say something incredibly stupid—well, more stupid than whatever the fuck I just said a couple of seconds ago, I gracefully skedaddle out of there and leave her with all the possible questions her friends are about to hand to her ass.

And I'm guessing its my ass that's about to get handed back to me when she sees me next time. Call me an optimistic motherfucker for saying she's gonna see me next time.

I didn't even realize that I had been smiling all through out until I saw the shadow of someone sitting up on my bed.

"Baby? Come back to bed" she—I really genuinely forgot her name, I am so sorry—said in a slightly sexy sleepy tone, and she definitely didn't have to ask me twice.

I know I said maybe it was a mistake, but maybe it wasn't.

I woke up a couple of hours later to the sound of my alarm clock blaring. It was Friday, after all, and I still had to go to work.

And my night sure as hell was fun, but not even this hottie on my bed right now could get me to spend the day in bed with her instead of going to work.

I did offer some breakfast tho, but once she realized that she still had work on her own, she quickly put her clothes back on, kissed me on my cheek, and was immediately out the door while I was sipping my coffee.

I know what you're thinking.

Caleb, why are you drinking coffee when you're still on coffee run duty?

To answer your question, one I need the extra caffeine to wake me up since I someone kept me up late last night.

And two, somebody else kept my mind occupied the whole night, evidently keeping me up late last night.

After finishing my coffee, I was out of my apartment and headed straight to my unironically new favorite place in here... Starbucks.

I headed straight to the back of the line while mindlessly staring at the overhead menu. Usually I'd get the same thing everyone got, which was black coffee, but considering that I already had black coffee before I left, I decided to try something new.

And since my focus was on the menu, for the second time that I've been here, I didn't watch where I was going when the line started to move, evidently making me bump into the person who was in front of me, so I stepped back... evidently bumping onto whoever was behind me.
