Unexpected Affairs

Chapter 2

It was 12:00. As my eyelids unlatched from each other allowing me to see where I was I observed I was in bed with a guy. I began to have a panic attack. Did I sleep with this guy? Who is he? Where am I? What happened? I sat up trying to infer and make a hypothesis of what could've occurred. The man started shuffling over in the sheets. I then realized it was Myles, the guy I met last night. I also noticed I was clothed in his shirt and everything seemed in its rightful place. I got up and went to his bathroom in search of my dress which I left there the night before. The liquor must've gotten to me. I wrote a note leaving it beside his computer stating:

'Hey Myles, it's Brooke I gotta hit the road!! Thanks for letting me stay the night I really appreciate it. Tell Kalin I said thank you also. Hopefully we can catch up soon maybe, here's my number if you need anything by the way I took a pair of Adidas pants and will give them to Alyssa to return ASAP I promise :) : (415)-123-456

I went down the hall and noticed Alyssa happened to stay the night also. She was under the sheets in what seemed to be Kalin's room. I whispered her name to get her attention. Since she's a light sleeper she shot up quickly at the sound of her name. She looked like she saw a ghost or something because she was surprised I was here.

"Yea, I'm here you ditched me again. Myles was kind enough to let me stay also because I had a really bad headache that you couldn't care less about if I was alright or not. Hope you had fun and tell your boyfriend to give you a ride home." I said in a rude tone. I saw Myles walk out of his room down the half confused. I don't think she understood how upset I was with her. She failed me for the hundredth time. I even tried addressing it to her but she didn't bother understanding where I was coming from.

"Brooke wait, please I'm sorry, I" came from the bedroom I stormed off from. I opened the door to my car and drove off super heated. I drove to the nearest Starbucks to calm myself down with some tea but as I waited in line I saw I had either left or lost my purse. Could my luck get any better!! I drove to the apartment Alyssa and I shared and as I entered my room I threw myself onto my bed crying myself to sleep.

When I woke it was 6:30 and I had text messages from 6 different numbers. I responded with a who's this to each message and a 'talk to me in person' for Alyssa. The first one who replied was Myles asking if I was alright.

Me: Yea, I'm okay just upset from earlier

Myles: It's okay I would be too if that were one of my friends

Myles: You forgot your purse here by the way

Me: I know!! I was going to go get some tea to calm me down but I saw I lost my purse thank god it's at your house

Myles: Can I stop by sometime later today? To drop it off? Maybe we can go out somewhere too?

Me: I'd love that how about 8:30?

Myles: sounds good text me the address

I texted him the address and I got ready. Myles coming over lightened up the tension. Knowing someone cared about how I was feeling made me happy, like I'm worth something. I wore his Adidas pants again which were very comfortable because it was bigger on me. For the top I wore this loose white top and a thin maroon hooded sweater with some white skate hi's. I braided my hair into two, both starting at the front part of my hair. I then added a small bit of makeup not wanting to seem like I'm trying to hard.
I waited on the couch in the living room and I checked the text messages I received from earlier finding out that the rest were from Connor, Jake, and Kalin. I began to get sleepy so I got a heated blanket from my room.

Me: Myles I'm leaving the door unlocked for when you get here imma take a nap

*replying seconds later*

Myles: okay might join too!! 🙊

When I woke up I saw Myles nestled into me. He had fallen asleep too. I checked the time and it was 9:00. I shook Myles awake and we began talking. It was a pretty deep and sincere talk, one I've been in desperate need off which was perfect because Myles was too genuine and willing to listen to everything.

When we got into more personal things like my family, whom I descended from a drug addict mother; under the influence while in the womb, my Dad died when I was one, put into Foster care for a little, then one of my family members dropped school to take me in, it became a very emotion moment. As i hugged him tears poured onto his hoodie. I pulled back sniffling mid laughing and weeping. He grabbed my arms and began to say,

"The saying I've heard quite of few times from some friends is 'God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers' and can I tell you that this is so accurate, I'm glad I was able to come across of his soldiers. You are too strong Brooke, to be raised by one women alone you've become and beautiful young lady who knows her place in the world spreading positivity and kindness with others, it's truly a gift and I'm glad to have you in my life. Now let's go out for a quick movie, you down?", I nodded gladly; I was capable of getting everything I needed to out and it felt so much better to get that weight off my shoulders.

At the movies, Myles and I were the only one for the showing of some random love film. Myles and I hardly payed any attention to the movie, we enjoyed ourselves by throwing popcorn and sour candies around, misusing the seats, and then eventually getting kicked out. He held my hand on our way to the car as we looked up at the sky. He gave me a peck on the lips and my reaction gave him the memo I wasn't feelin it.

"MYLES!!", I yelled startling him.

"What, I can't kiss you?", he said smirking.

"NO NO YOU CANNOT." I said laughing as he put his head down like an upset 5 year old giving me the answer 'fine' while pouting.

That night I stayed the night at his house. Alyssa must've been at our apartment because when I walked pass Kalin's room she wasn't there. By the time I entered his bedroom I was so tired. I went to the bathroom to change and brushed my teeth, returning to a shirtless Myles in some joggers. I pulled the gray sheet over me as I nestled onto his chest. The sound of his breathing making me drift away into my world of dreams.
