[ Morganton ]

"Adeline? You girls done?" I heard her husband's loud voice from the outside after I answered to her that way.

I felt guilty.

Why did I fucking feel guilty?

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm just overwhelmed and confused about everything." I sighed and held my head stressfully while looking down. She looked quiet, so I looked at her after and saw how she bit her lower lip while trying to stop her tears from flowing.

"Why are you saying sorry?" Her voice sounded so soft. 

Yeah, why did I say sorry?

"Just go, Morgan, okay?"

And I did. I knew I looked dumb to just leave her there when I caused her to be sick and not attend classes. I wanted to refresh my mind, yet she kept popping in.

"Fuck!!" I shouted to myself in my room while studying. And I immediately smacked the book to my head.

I couldn't study; I can't focus. And lastly, I never thought a girl would make me feel this way. Is this really changing my personality and my preferences in romance?

Why do I sound like I seriously care about her after we did?

She's married; we can't. The world will be so against us. And I knew she just thought that I would just fuck and vanish. 

But it is not like that with her. I wanted to stay longer and take care of her. If only I didn't take my classes or go with Maure, we wouldn't be in this kind of situation.

"Why the hell am I blaming myself?" I uttered, spinning the pen using my middle and index fingers.

I was surprised that I fell asleep early; I was really exhausted thinking about everything. The next day, it was my usual classes, and I had June pick me up. Too lazy to drive on my own.

"What's wrong with you?" June asked while driving and looking at the road.

"I'm just tired."

"Tired of what, Morgan?" She looked at me quickly and had her eyes again on the road.

"Me and the professor kind of argued yesterday." I can't believe I'm already telling a girl a problem to a friend. 

"Wow, you're going to share girl love problems already? That's hella new." She laughed.

"June." I warned her, my gaze annoyed.

"I'm kidding!" She was laughing. "Why? What's wrong?"

"The night we did it, I left her. And she was sick the next day. And I felt bad because I wasn't the one who's taking care of her, but her husband. And I am kind of aware that she's a soft type of woman, yet I still did something that could possibly hurt her, which is just vanishing after, you know." I sighed heavily. "But at least we cuddled for a few minutes, isn't that good?"

"What the fuck?" she laughed so hard while driving. 

"June, come on, be serious for once!"

"So, you do cuddles after sex, huh? I should make that a tease for you all day, yeah?"

"It's not like that," I tried to defend myself.

"Then what is?" She was still smiling playfully. "She's changing you? Damn, you never get so worried like this for a woman, Morgan. This is so new."

I looked at her, speechless and trying to listen to her upcoming comments about me.

"Why did you leave her for Godsake?"
