“Why do I choose the walk of shame?”

Nick’s first response to my groggy morning question is a rough chuckle that jostles the bed. “I can go get your things,” he offers, “Or Autumn can bring them?”

I shake my head, brushing my cheek against his firm chest before resting my head back against him, “It’s okay, I’ll walk it with pride,” I answer with a simper and lightheartedness.

The early morning sun is peeking in and I check the clock to find it’s nearly eight. Last night filters in as my eyes adjust to morning and the easy rest in Nick’s bed changes into the reality that I need to leave it and I may never share one with him again.

“You’re really leaving?” I question but I didn’t mean to. The disbelief simply slipped out.

He breathes in deep and his chest moves with it, so I remove myself from the cozy spot and sit up, covering myself with the sheets. As I do, the ache between my thighs intensifies. I’ll feel him for days.

“Yeah, just one night this time. I have to get somethings settled,” Nick doesn’t look at me as he talks, instead he reaches for the bottle of water on the nightstand and hands it to me.

“Thanks,” I tell him and my smile is weak. I drink down as many gulps as I can, trying to pause the unwanted thoughts filtering through my mind.

“You okay?”

“Huh?” I look up into Nick’s steely blues to find them riddled with concern. “Fine,” I lie. “I just have to get going.”

With the excuse spilled, I gather the sheets, pushing them out of the way and search for my dress and underwear.

“You don’t have to go. We can order in breakfast,” he offers but there’s no hope in his voice.

I was already a drink down last night, but still. How did I go to bed with him one last time, knowing that he was leaving? How did I think I could do it? Stay here with him and say goodbye?

I struggle with my strap and Nick climbs out of bed, still naked and in all his glory to help me.

“Olivia,” his voice is gentle. “You don’t have to run off,” he whispers at my neck and then pulls my back into his chest.

“I’m not running off,” I lie. “I just need a shower and to prepare.”

I turn around, conscious of the fact that I haven’t brushed my teeth. I usually use his toothbrush, but I also typically stay. This morning isn’t typical. I can feel that in my bones.

“Never goodbye. Only until next time.” He smiles when he says it and that’s why I can only nod, not trusting myself to speak. With a wave of my hand, I leave him there, and put on a brave face when I open the door to my shared room with Autumn. I don’t want her to know how much I’m breaking right now. Nothing is certain. He may not move. It may not be over. That thought is the only thing that keeps me glued together.
