Forgive or forget? #Wattys2015

Prologue chapter two

I kept thinking of where I could have left my keys, while at the same time I was driving to Stacey. Maybe I had left them there? 

My heart was beating out of my chest when I rang the bell at Stacey. I heard footsteps coming up to the door and suddenly the door opened. There she stood. Shining like an angel, like as if she was the only thing in the world. Was it more than just friends with benefits? Or was I just sexually frustrated? I don't know, at least that's not what I came for. Stacey looked at me, 'Did you miss me so much, that you're here again?' she suddenly said.

'Well, when I came home, I couldn't find my keys. They weren't in the car, so I thought they might be overhere. Have you seen them somewhere?'

'Oh, come in! Let's have a look.' she said. The most reasonable place where they could be, was her bedroom. So we walked up to her room to take a look. When we got there I saw she had already cleaned up the bed and vacuum-cleaned the carpet. I couldn't find my damn keys anywhere in that room. 

She offered me to pause a little and have a drink downstairs. I hadn't drunk for a couple of hours, so I was very thirsty. We walked to the kitchen where she took 2 glasses. She asked me what I wanted so I replied 'It doesn't matter. If it's fluid, it'll be alright!'. I heard her laugh and open a bottle of soft drink due to the  carbonic acid in the drink. She came back with two glasses of cola and we were going to sit in the living-room.

I could sit in the sofa or the chair. I could choose to sit in the chair, so that Stacey would sit comfortable, or I could sit in the sofa very comfortable and take Stacey really close next to me. I decided to just take the sofa and have Stacey take a seat next to me. It would look pretty cozy and lovely. At the moment I was going to sit down, it felt like someone was stabbing my back with a hard and sharp object. There couldn't be anyone in the sofa, so what could it then be? I turned around to take a look....

Yes! There they finally were! My keys I had been searching for were laying in her sofa. They had probably fell out of my pocket when I was going to sit down when I came here this afternoon. Stacey looked strange at me as if she couldn't understand why I was so happy. So I held up my keys to here. 

She laughed and said 'So that's what you have been looking for. At least on the most unexpected place for you.' with that last sentence she gave me a wink. As we drank our cola we chatted a little bit about her friends and study and about my work and so on, but we also spoke about what we were going to do in the future with our 'friends with benefits'-relation.

I immediately thought 'Shit, does she love me too?'. But if that's my first reaction, do I then really love her? What if we turn it into a relationship, while i'm not yet sure if I really love her? What will happen?

As all these questions were passing my mind, we just agreed on thinking about what we would do next for ourselves. I already knew that the upcoming night would be a nightmare for me. At least I wouldn't be able to fall asleep with all these questions.

 After our little chat I took my keys and said goodbye. I drove off with a tranquilized feeling, but at the same time I was worried.

I felt appeased because I had my keys with me, but I was worried about all these questions I had in mind with the future of me and Stacey. For now, I just had to worry about this quickly approaching truck, driving towards me...
