Chapter 5

Sunlight poured in through the window as Mia woke. She was confused—this wasn’t her room. She also had a pounding headache. Mia sat up, noticing a glass of water and two headache pills sitting on the table beside her. Gratefully, she drank the water and took the pills. It was Lawrence’s room, she now recognized.

At that moment she also realized that she was naked and reached for the sheet to cover herself up. She saw on the chair in the room that there was a pair of jeans and a sweater belonging to Gina and she stood up, already getting dressed. Her dress from the night before was still on the floor and her muscles ached from the lovemaking.

It all came back in flashes, the things he’d whispered to her in the dark and the way his body felt on hers. She smiled to herself, humming as she got dressed. She wondered how things would change now that she was dating the great Lawrence King.

There was a knock on the door, and she answered it. Lawrence was standing there, looking delicious in grey sweatpants and tight white T shirt. She leaned up to kiss him, but he was as cold as ice and completely unresponsive to her.

He ran a hand through his dark hair and looked troubled. She reached for his hand, but he kept his limp. Hurt, she stepped back.

“What’s wrong? Is Gina okay?” Her voice was filled with worry.

“Yeah, she’s fine. Listen, we need to talk.” He sat down on the bed and stared at the floor, dejected. “Last night, it was great. But we can’t do it again. I can’t do this right now, I have too much on my plate. It’s just a fling. You know that, right?”

Mia’s heart sank into her stomach.

“I... I didn’t know that. I guess I do now. Last night seemed... different. I thought you wanted this.” Her voice cracked.

“I thought I did but, just... you’re not the one for me. I won’t do this. We should just go back to doing our jobs. I’m sorry, it’s better this way.” Frustration was written on his face. Mia stared at him, feeling sick.

“You’re screwed up. I hope you know that.” She left without saying another word, leaving the dress a puddle on the floor.
