I panicked. I’ve never been this close to a woman, and I don’t know what to do. Lori flinches at my words. I don’t know what the fuck that just was, but it wasn’t just a friendly fuck. I need to put some space back between us. If my family can feel even a small amount of the sexual tension and astonishing connection I have with Lori, I won’t be able to hide this relationship from them. It kills me that I have to keep the distance between us.

I rest my forearm across my forehead and wait for her reply to my spontaneous bullshit boundary. I just had the most amazing sex with her, a connection I’ve never had with other girls, and now I’m stabbing her in the heart so that I don’t have to trust her to fake distance with my family tomorrow. I’ll be lucky if she ever lets me back in her bed. I should have just had a conversation with her to explain that we really have to be careful at the party. I open my mouth to explain but she beats me to it.

“Of course. That was the deal,” she says in such a nonchalant way that my head must spin at a crazy speed as I snap it around to watch her. Can she really be okay with this? Maybe I was the only one feeling something different that time. I watch her as she turns onto her side facing away from me. “I need to be up early to meet a friend for breakfast. Good night, Ben.” And with that she pulls the covers around her neck and falls asleep.

My heart is pounding so fast in my chest there is no way I can fall asleep here. Every caveman instinct in me demands that I wake her up and ask her how she could not be hurt by me taking someone else to the party. The thought of her with another man makes me furious and yet she can just roll over and go to sleep after I told her I was bringing another woman. Damn it.

After about five more minutes of listening to my heart hammer in my chest, I slide out of bed and find my clothes. I’m convinced I’ve completely read every signal wrong. I fucking panicked and created a huge space between us when I clearly didn’t need to because she was already miles away. I feel like throwing all the shit I’m now carrying down her hall against the damn wall.

Haphazardly dressed, I make my way to my car and start thinking of who I’m going to bring to this party tomorrow. I’d never intended to bring anyone until my big mouth got me into this. I remember Bethany, a girl who works in the department store where I buy a few things once in a while. I got her number about a month ago, so I pull it up on my phone and make a mental note to call it when it’s a reasonable hour.
