Beating again

Chapter twelve

Sasha's POV

I am finally home, and ready to relax before going to bed. I hadn't realised how tiring today has been just by thought.

I walk to my kitchen and grab a glass, just about to pour my self some wine, I hear a knock on the door. Groaning, I walk straight to the door and open.

"Mind if I sleep here today, Sasha?" Confused, I look at Jessie who walks inside before I even reply.

"Why? What is wrong with your bed?"

"Neither can you stand hearing Lucy and idiot Brandon having their nasty sex and making erotic noises like some horney teenagers."

I laugh at the way she describes everything in total disgust. By the way she refers to Brandon, I can tell she holds the same feeling about him as me.

"You just got off work?" I notice her still dressed in her working clothes as I bring wine and an additional glass to the table.

"I really need that overtime bonus." She says this as a joke, but her voice holds a thin shade of sadness. "Considering that Lucy is soon going to move in with Brandon, I need to earn more to be able to pay that apartment alone."

"Besides, I need to be retained on that job at the end of the internship session, so I have to work a lot." She continues.

"Lucy is moving in with Brandon?" I snap rather unnecessarily alarmed by the announcement.

"Yeah! The girl is so crazy for that guy, she doesn't want to live any meters away from him anymore." She says in the same tone.

That Jackass.

I don't know which I am more pissed off about. Lucy moving out, because I had kinda liked her, or the fact that it is that idiot that she is moving in with. May be both.

"Why don't you tell me about him?" Wanting to change the irritating topic, I find myself asking Jessie about a him that is clearly not Brandon.

She scowls. "There is no him." I roll my eyes and chuckle at her sudden innocence.

"As if." I mutter as I teasingly eye Jessie making her to innocently blush.

What is there to blush about. Dont tell me!

"Wait a minute, are you___"

"Oh my God, I feel so sleepy." She gets up and dramatically yawns as she disappears into my bedroom leaving me laughing with a thousand reasons to tease her.

I don't know why I get awed by the fact that Jessie is actually virgin.

After Jessie is gone, I realise that I have nothing left with to do, unless to sip on my wine and have random thoughts.

Not even for a minute do I get a chance to make my thoughts random because I suddenly catch myself remembering Ethan kissing me in the club. It was so unexpected and so exciting.

My whole body starts to warm up and I audibly sigh as I put down my glass for a moment, and lay down in the couch looking at the ceiling. I suddenly realise that the ceiling is one perfect place to project my thoughts.

Stop thinking about him honey, what happened was just a usual one- night stand that won't happen again.

I know. I know. And trust me, I am trying. But my thoughts don't get off Dr. Grayson till I drift off to sleep.

Weeks later.

Ethan's POV

As well played as I planned, my idea was to ignore the mistake I made that night but it only makes things worse. The terrible drunk night manifests into two terrible weeks at work. It makes me feel like I am getting back to my old-self.
