HER ADDICTIONS

Chapter 1

It was 7:30 am in the morning. As she forced herself out of bed, she felt a thumping in her head backed with a consistent growling from her stomach. Staring at the man disgustedly who was still wrapped up under the sheets sleeping, she scratched her head trying to remember as the events of last night eluded her. Oh shit! Not again she exclaimed; another night with another stranger of whom she knew completely nothing about. Sigh...She made herself a coffee, then lit a cigarette and moved over to her balcony. She just turned 23 and her life wasn't getting any better. It was now a usual routine for different species of men to turn up on her bed every morning with little or no memory of how the previous night went. Well, what was there to remember anyways; she hissed... apart from the fact that she was probably high on her 'coke' and made out with some random stranger in the club and seduced him all the way to her house. Undeniably, she was enjoying every bit of attention she was getting; the way the guys always rallied around her and later on, contributed in giving her a night filled with passion satisfying her every lustful pleasure. Working two shifts at the supermarket and at the mall, she was able to survive, rent a small cozy apartment and get herself a lot of cloud nine shit. She licked her tongue and gave a rather audible smirk at the thought of it. Her parents had given up on her already. To them she was just the black sheep, the loser, the addict! She was tired of trying to live her life based on their rules and regulations, she rolled her eyes. She was grateful for the job she had that enabled her to save enough to afford the apartment she now lived in. To make the situation worse, her siblings were all 'achievers' like her mum would always say. They never stood up the chance to mock and taunt her. She had to always bring up excuses not to show up at family gatherings. Oh, how she hated family gatherings. She wasn't ready for love or a dumb ass guy flying around her. Her space was so precious to her; she liked her freedom; freedom to go to bed with whomever she wanted and freedom to sniff her coke until she felt numb. Moving away from her thoughts, she checked the time and realized that she had just 45 minutes to get ready for her rather boring job. Now, it was time to go wake up that dude to get the hell out of her house!
