I Slept with Clay Matthews

Chapter 3.

I woke up with a terrible headache like my head feels like it's literally about to burst. I turned over, but immediately stiffened. Someone had their arm wrapped around me, and was definitely in the bed with me. I slowly opened my eyes. Who is this? Why am I in bed with him, wait where am I? Why can't I remember anything from last night. I slowly wiggled my way out from his grip, and climbed out of the bed. I slowly put my bra, and underwear on, then my jeans, and shirt. I picked my shoes up off the floor, and as quietly as I could slipped out of the bedroom, and shut the door. I walked down the hallway, but had no clue where I was. Or where to go, but I sure as hell couldn't wait till that guy woke up to ask him.

"Hey what are you doing?" A man asked, causing me to jump. "Woah hey sorry, didn't mean to scare you I'm Aaron." He said holding his arm out.

"Carli." I said with a smile he was cute, and friendly he had a scruffy beard, and gorgeous blue eyes. I couldn't help but stare at them probably longer than I should have.

"So Carli, I'm guessing you spent the evening with my boy Clay" He asked taking in my appearance. I probably looked like a mess.

"Yeah, uhm I'm just looking for the exit." I said God could I sound any more dumb?

"Oh sure, here I'll escort ya to the front door." He said with a smile, and a wave of his hand. I shook my head I couldn't help but smile at him he reminded me of a little kid in a way. He led me throughout the house that was now trashed to the front door.

"Looks like you guys got a big mess to clean up." I said.

"Yeah, Clay's probably gonna kill me." He said shaking his head and looking at the mess.

"Well, I'll let you get to it. It was nice meeting you Aaron." I said waving, and walking away.

"You too Carli, hopefully we'll see you around again?" He asked I turned around for a moment.

"Ya never know." I said then started walking away. Knowing damn good and well we weren't ever going to see each other again. I sighed, and started walking towards my house..

I walked in my house, and locked the door I then ran up the stairs, and got in the shower. Memories of last night flooding back to me one by one. Gabby, and Alison forcing me to go to the party. Drinking. Sitting with Clay. Kissing Clay. Sleeping with Clay. Then meeting Aaron. I can't believe I did that! I mean yeah I guess it felt nice, seeing as I haven't slept with anyone since Jarrod, and Jarrod left me at our wedding almost two years ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Flashback:

"You look stunning Carli!" Alison said fixing my dress.

"Can you guys believe that I'm actually getting married?" I asked admiring myself in the mirror. I had a simple long white beaded dress, with lace down the back, and my hair was curled and in an up do that literally took three hours. Everything was perfect, but then his best man Steve walked in.

"Hey Uhm Carli?" He said looking down with his hands in his pockets.

"What's up Steve?" I asked the smile leaving my lips when I saw his face.

"He's gone." He said, and with those words my world instantly shattered, and I fell to the ground. "I'm so sorry Carli." He said before leaving.

"I'll go tell everyone." Steve's mom said leaving me and my bridesmaids, and my mom. At some point my dad came in the room. Gabby, Alison, my friend Rebecca, and my mom all stayed with me I was never alone. I stayed in my wedding dress for a week, I didn't shower I didn't do anything I just laid on my couch for a week straight.
