SOPHIE
I’m on fire.
Not literally, thank goodness. But my whole body is tingly and damp and
the hair at the back of my neck is wet and sticking to my skin. I put my hand
to my chest and feel a trail of sweat weaving its way down my cleavage. My
bare cleavage.
Which means I’m naked.
I blink my eyes open and crane my head to find the source of the intense
heat. He’s laying behind me, his arm flung over my stomach, his chest curved
against my back. His breathing is soft, his hair messed up, and I have no idea
whether that’s due to a poor night’s sleep or me.
I feel that I need to point out something. I don’t usually do this kind of
thing. It’s not that I look down upon people who have one-night stands. I’d
love to be so carefree that I could sleep with somebody and walk away from
them with a smile on my face, last night’s clothes cladding my sated body.
But I just can’t. I catch feelings. I feel hurt when they don’t call.
I
overanalyze things so one-night stands are not good for me.
I lift his arm and manage to wiggle away from his still-slumbering body. I
still feel like I’m about to combust, so I tiptoe naked to the bathroom and
close the door as quietly as I can, my head pounding with a reminder that we
drank way too many cocktails last night.
Although he drank more than me. There’s some small comfort in that.
When I turn, I catch a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror.
I look terrible. My hair is a mess, there’s a huge creased red spot on my
cheek where I’ve been resting it against the pillow. A cocktail of emotions
rush through me.
Horror. Embarrassment. The pure excruciating knowledge that I’m going
to have to walk out and face the man currently sleeping like a baby in my
bed.
Oh, did I tell you that I know him?
Liam Salinger. My best friend’s brother-in-law and all around cocky rich
guy.
I’ve known him for a few months. Since Ava – that’s my best friend – got
engaged to his brother, Myles. Who is lovely, by the way. And yes, some of
that loveliness comes from the fact that he takes great care of Ava.
But back to Liam. How am I going to deal with this? I roll my eyes at my
reflection, like it’s her fault for getting me into this situation in the first place.
And then I swallow and the sour taste in my mouth makes me wince.
To delay the inevitable confrontation, I brush my teeth. And shower. And
as I wrap myself in a towel, with the vain hope that either he was a mirage in
the first place, or he’s had the good grace to leave while I’ve been skulking in
here.
