Sitting up my head started pounding and I looked beside me at a sleeping Brandon.
I gasped looking down at my naked body and I felt sick. I tried locating each and every piece of my clothes with my eyes and once I did I slowly slid out of bed and put them on as quietly as I could trying not to wake Brandon.
Walking out his room I saw my phone and purse on the counter, and left not looking back.
It took a hour by bus to get home, and when I did I snuck to the bathroom and soaked in hot water, between my legs raw and sore. I remembered last night as clear as day. Even the flashbacks gave me goosebumps but the corner of my mouth lifted. Brandon handled me so gently as if he didn't want to break me. Oh god. I'm becoming my sister!
I took a shower after my bath and went in my room putting my head phones in my ear.
"I got a interview."Kate pulled my plug from my ear.
"That's great."I smiled.
"Thanks for not coming last night."She said playing with her hair in the mirror.
"It's not a problem."I assured her but my cheeks stung just thinking of what I was doing last night.
"Where did you go?"She asked.
"I...um...fell asleep at the park."I lied.
"Ew I told you not to go there, why didn't you go to that girl, your friend what's-her-face?"
"Amelia and she's in Europe for a internship, the one we couldn't afford."I told her. Referring to my friend from school.
"Oh."She said."I wish you could've went but you know..."
"No big deal Kate."I said and faked a yawn."I'm gonna go to sleep."
"Ok."She said leaving my room.
Brandon
Walking into the office Monday morning I couldn't wipe this stupid smile off my face. Lindsey was everything I ever wanted, but she was a mystery, and although it seemed as if she was holding something back.
I stepped into Lance Deblin--my partners office.
"Woah is that a smile?"He asked hanging up his phone."Mr stick-in-the-butt is smiling."
"No it's nothing."I chuckled."And that sounded very wrong."
"No no no, fess up."
"This girl I met at the bar was there and then she wasn't. I've never seen her before."
"What's her name?"He started typing something in his computer.
"Lindsey."
"Last name?"He asked.
"I think Pierce."
"Linsey Pierce."
"There's three Lindsey Pierces that lives in town, one is dead, another is 63, and the other is Pierce by marriage."
I looked at him."What if I have her address? And how on earth are you doing this?"
"Even better. I hacked into the police database, but don't go running telling them. I believe its illegal."
"It is man!"
"Oh shit. Now there's not any Linsey's in that area, there's some people here it's a P but they're a 17 and 23."
I sighed.
"Maybe you dated a ghost."Lance laughed hysterically.
"You're a dick."I shook my head.
"Don't forget your interview."He said laughing again.
I went into my office and shut my door preparing for my clients today, and apparently a interview.
