Chapter 27

The light streaming in through the too thin curtains pierced my eyes the next morning. It was the kind of light you only got in the winter half, when your eyes had adjusted to the dark and suddenly there’s a sunny day. The kind of light that makes you want to curl up under the covers and never get up.

I groaned and dragged the sheet over my head and curled into a fetal position.

My head was aching, a result of a hangover. It was my second in a week now, and I wanted to scold myself for drinking as much as I did.

I wasn’t certain of how much I drunk, but it was obviously enough to wipe out my memory. Only faint visions of the previous night jumped up in my mind.

Shots with Sofia.

My friends grinding on each other.

The cup that never got empty.

And the guy.

The guy I didn’t even know the name of. A shudder went through me as I remembered the slobbering kisses he left on my neck. And then a faint slash of a warmer touch and softer lips.

My eyes shot open I remembrance.

I kissed Jayden.

Oh my god.

I actually kissed Jayden Carter.

Those thoughts alone were enough to knock away the lingering haze in my eyes. Enough to make me realize that I was not in my room. I looked around, recognizing the structure. A room that was almost exactly the same as the one I had gotten ready for the party in yesterday.

Jayden’s room, no doubt.

The walls were painted blue, a little typical for a boy’s room. A desk faced the bed, papers and books scattered in a mess around it. There was a bookshelf over the desk with several books I had never seen before. To my left side there was a window, the source of the blinding sunlight and to my right there was a door. My body was covered in dark blue sheets, and the cotton felt soft on my skin, almost like a caress. It was so unlike the rough material of the dress I wore last night.

That thought made me freeze. If I felt the soft cotton against my body, did that mean…?

As scared as I was too find out, I lifted the dark sheets and stared at my body. My naked body, to be exact. Not a thread covered it. I jumped up in panic, clutching the cover in my hand to cover up my chest. Only then did I notice the pain in my abdomen.

Had Jayden and I…?

I didn’t even want to finish that thought.

Glancing around the room, I saw my dress lying on the ground. It was almost covered by a guy’s shirt and jeans and my underwear was resting on top of the pants. My bra was thrown away, and I spotted it just by the door. His boxers were lying at the end of the bed.

Oh, god, we really did.

Panic burst in my veins and I wanted to cry. How could I have let that happen? I knew I had some feelings for Jayden, and quite honestly I think they were the reason for chasing away any lingering thoughts about Damian.

And I had been imaging this sometimes, late at night. The guy was always a blur, but I never ever thought I would lose my virginity to a guy I wasn’t in a relationship with. Even if I had been thinking about how nice that would be with him. Never had I thought it would happen when I was drunk at a party.

Then another thought hit me. Jayden wasn’t here. His clothes remained, but the guy himself was missing. What if he had left because he was disgusted with me? What if he thought of me as a whore who would sleep with the first guy available? After all, he had thrown another guy off of me last night, and I was the one to throw myself at him.
