Ivy League

Home Sick

Let me know if there are any errors in this chapter, I wrote it all on my iPhone while having lunch.

***

My date last night ended pretty well. There was no round two, god even I'm not that much of a slut.

I got home jut after 10pm from dinner with Jay, John had dropped me home in the limo and Kay had escorted to me to my front door.

"I had a really great time tonight sweetheart."

"I did too."

"Will you have lunch with me tomorrow?" He asked moving my body closer to his own.

"Sorry I already have lunch plans." i replied.

He looked at me darkly, "we will see about that. goodnight Ivy." He said breathing on my neck again. My body was practically begging for more. And he left. No kiss. Nothing.

Joan pounced on me as soon as I walked in the door,

"How was it?" She demanded.

"It was good." I said kicking my shoes off.

She stared at me, "just good? Is that all I get?"

I nodded, "Yep, now I'm going to go take a shower now, I've got that meeting tomorrow with the boss. Night Joan." I said leaving her alone.

The shower warmth felt cool against my burning skin. I needed to calm down. It was nothing. Jay is just another guy. Like Jeffrey. I don't need to have anymore of that in my life. Cringed when I thought about Jeffrey, he was my first love and that ended very abruptly.

I turned the hot water up further. I'll burn the desire out of my skin at this rate. Exhaustion flowing over my body I got out of the shower, wrapped myself in a towel and crawled into bed.

Beeping woke me up just shy of 6am, the fuck is that? That's not my alarm. Flinching away from the sunlight that rolls in my window, it was causing the skin inside my eyelids to blister.

I scurry around trying to find the cause of the beeping that ruined my beauty sleep. My phone. I left it inside my handbag. It was flashing to say i had received a text.

"Have lunch with me sweetheart."

I rolled my eyes, Jay can't get whatever he wants all the time. I quickly typed back a no,

"You woke me up at 6am in the fucking morning to tell me that? I don't think so buddy."

"I'll see you at 1pm." Jay said hanging up.

Argh I am not going to let this guy get close to me, who the hell does he think he is. I don't care how good looking he is, he can't make demands like that.

I crawled back into bed and hid under the blankets. There's no way I'm going to work today. Not at the risk of Jay showing up.

Typing out an email hidden under the covers to my boss Mr. Roberts telling him that I was deathly ill with the flu and couldn't get out of bed.

Shortly after 8am while I was snoozing, Joan barged into my room,

"Get up, we'll be late!" She cried.

"I'm not going."

"What do you mean, you aren't going?"

"I don't feel well."

Joan was unconvinced, "Does this have anything to do with a certain man you aren't telling me much about?"

I blushed.

"I know you are bullshitting me but I'll drop it this time." she said walking out and I went back to sleep.
