Chapter 49

Jessie knew she’d made one of the biggest mistakes of her life the second she opened her eyes and saw Charlie lying asleep next to her. Why oh why oh why had she done it? she asked herself as she turned her back to him and clutched the bedclothes tightly to her chest.

To top it all off, she hadn’t even insisted he wear a condom. He could have given her anything. How stupid could she have been? One thing she did know for sure. She sure as hell didn’t want Jack to know she’d done the dirty do with his big brother.

She’d had many a daydream envisaging what it would be like to have Charlie Davenport make love to her. The reality had proved to be somewhat of an anti-climax. Climax—or lack thereof—being the operative word as far as Jessie was concerned. She knew now, when it came to Charlie, the magic was gone. Not that it had been magic. No, Jessie definitely couldn’t call what had gone on between her and Charlie magic. More like a one-sided blind obsession. A schoolgirl crush on her teacher, Jessie reflected, as she listened to his breathing next to her. Jessie clutched the bedclothes even tighter to her as she felt a fresh wave of embarrassment tinged with humiliation wash over her. She cringed thinking back on how she had behaved around Charlie. All lovestruck puppy dog eyes and the scampering after him.

‘Oh my God,’ Jessie groaned out loud as she buried her face into her pillow.

‘Hey, babe,’ came Charlie’s voice in her ear as she felt his arm wrap around her. ‘Got any paracetemol? I’ve got a splitting headache.’

‘I’ll get you some,’ Jessie replied, awkwardly extricating herself from his embrace. She spied her bathrobe screwed up on the floor and quickly stooped to scoop it up, tossed it around her bare body and fled to the comparative safety of the bathroom.

Jessie felt utterly mortified as she stood staring at her sorry face in the bathroom mirror. She hadn’t even really wanted to make love with Charlie the night before. Not that you could call it lovemaking. She’d just sort of got caught up in the moment and, as with most things in her life, she hadn’t been able to a formulate an answer which was a true reflection of what she actually wanted to do. She was furious with herself that she’d just been idle and hadn’t done anything to stop it. It was sickening. Stop being such a pleaser, Jessie willed the sad expression in front of her.

All she wanted to do was get rid of the man in her bed and forget that their unimpressive tête-a-tête had ever happened. Hopefully he’d have Sunday brunch plans and Jessie crossed her fingers that he would be as eager to get out of her hair as she was for him to do a David Copperfield on her. A few deep breaths later to psyche herself up, Jessie grabbed the painkillers and headed back to the scene of last night’s crime.
