Day 5: She's The One

Ladies and gentlemen, it's about to get sexy in here. If you are not of legal age, please go away. Today, I am going to have a one night stand. Ka-Pow!

But I do have some criteria and rules. He must not be in a relationship or married. I'm not going to destroy someone's family or relationship. I'm just here for the fun. Mama needs her fun.

I scanned through my wardrobe. Black skinny ripped jeans and a low v-neck long sleeve crop top. Perfect to look sexy and cover up my abrasions from cycling yesterday.

I look into the mirror. I look... sick. I really haven't look at myself in the mirror the past few days and I didn't realise but I'm starting to look terrible.

Unable to face myself, I look away. I put on my make-up, thicker than usual. Curl up my hair, pair my outfit with earrings and necklaces, took my purse and left.

I went to my all-time bar and to my usual seat. The bartender looks at me and smile. I frequent this bar so often he has my usual order memorised. Oh my god. Is this why I have stomach cancer? Wait, no. Alcohol affects the liver, right? Kids, drink wisely.

As I sipped on my cranberry vodka, I noticed a man sitting across the bar. No ring on his finger. Check. He looks slightly depressed. Probably just went through a break-up. Check. I downed the remaining alcohol in my glass and walk towards him.

"Hey, I'm Eve. Mind if I sit next to you?"

We started talking and drinking even more. A few minutes later, I invited him back to my place. We kissed and made out. Our hands were tangled and all over each other. Right before things got hot and heavy, he broke down crying. He turns to lean against the wall and sat on the floor.

"I'm sorry. I can't bring myself to this."

Ouch. Am I that bad of a kisser? I joined him on the ground and sat beside him.

"It's alright."

"I just broke up this morning."

"Sorry to hear that."

"..."

"If you don't mind talking to a complete stranger and someone you were about to have sex with, I'm all ears."

"I always thought she's the one."

"Then why did you two break up?"

"I got caught up with work and neglected her for months."

"How did you know she's the one?"

"She's the person I want to wake up to. She's the reason why I work so hard every day. She's my motivation for the future."

"Then go get her. You wouldn't want to be the guy that looks back at her one day and go 'she's the best thing that has ever happen to me'."

I smiled and wished him luck as he left. I turn to look at Bean.

"Hey, it counts right? I mean, we were kissing while standing. One night stand."

"..."

"You're so judgemental, Bean."
