It was not until my eyes fluttered open that I realized that I had fallen asleep. Shifting slightly, I noticed a hand lying on my chest. Looking down I discovered Leah lying in my arms and immediately jumped to my feet, waking her at the same time.

“What happened?” she asked sleepily.

“We must have fallen asleep. What time is it?” I asked pulling my phone out of my pocket to look myself. “Damn,” I grunted when I saw three missed calls from April. It had been four hours since I had brought Leah here. I cannot believe I let this happen. Panicking, I moved further away from Leah as I searched for April’s name in my phone.

“Aiden, wait. Please don’t tell anyone what happened to me...I don’t want them to feel sorry for me.”

“I need to call April. I can’t lie to her,” again, I thought to myself.

“And what are you going to say, that we slept together in a motel?” she huffed.

“It wasn’t like that, and you know it,” I replied angrily.

“Yeah, I do,” she said as she opened up her overnight bag. Pulling out a pack of facial wipes, that looked similar to the ones that April uses, she continued. “But the problem is that April doesn’t,” she said with a smirk on her face. “I mean, you could tell her that you saw the bruise on my face and felt the need to save me, but that would be a lie,” she said, cleaning her face with the wipe.

I looked on in shock as I watched the “bruise” disappearing before my very eyes.

“You have got to be kidding me!” I couldn’t believe this. She wiped her face completely clear. It was just make up, not a bruise.

“Actually I’m not,” she said, taking a step closer to me.“Then there are these,” she said, pulling out her phone. I looked in shock as she scrolled through a set of photos of us sleeping together in each other’s arms.

“What the hell do you want from me?” I demanded angrily.

“You? Nothing. Nothing at all. You’re just a small part of something much bigger, and if you get in my way,” she said, waving the phone in front of my face, “there’ll be consequences.”

“You do know I could just take that phone from you,” I scoffed.

“You could, and I would care, but these photos aren’t the only copies. Then there are the credit card records of you booking a room here ,and of course, Lisa as a witness that we left together. Then the small fact that you told April you were in meetings all day. Not looking too good for you, is it?” she smirked. “Now, if you don’t mind, I have work in the morning. Don’t want to be late for the boss,” she laughed.

Storming past her, I headed toward the door.

“Oh, and Aiden, I hope you find the gift in your car before April does,” she laughed as I walked out angrily.

What the hell just happened? And who was that girl because it wasn’t the same broken girl that I thought I brought here.
