WHEN I WOKE UP I FOUND myself alone in Neil’s expansive bed.

I ached everywhere, inside and out. Then all the memories of the previous night rushed back into my mind and I smiled.

I sat up and realized that I was naked. My second realization was that my clothes were nowhere to be found.

The first nervous thread of panic wound itself into the lining of my stomach.

Then I saw my phone on the nightstand. I snatched it up, more nerves building inside me. I pulled myself up, leaning back against the headboard. I had a waking nightmare, thinking I would push the home button and find it was already 1:00 in the afternoon or something.

It was hardly past seven in the morning.

Then I saw the housecoat draped across the foot of my bed. I swung my bare feet out and stood up, bracing myself for the chill of the floor against my skin.

But the floor was warm. I held the robe up. It was thick, soft cotton with an integrated belt. This belt I tightened around my waist when I put the robe on.

I took another hopeful look around the room, wondering if perhaps my (probably quite wrinkly) clothes had made their appearance.

They hadn’t.

Then I smelled the unmistakeable aroma of bacon. A moment later, as I walked towards the bedroom door, I heard the sound of said bacon crackling in a skillet.

Oh my God, he’s cooking me breakfast.

When was the last time that happened? The only other men who’d cooked me breakfast in recent memory were the teenage line cooks at McDonalds who made me my McGriddle on the occasional morning when I indulged in such excessive and delicious calories.

I grasped the door handle, started turning it. Then another nightmare thought popped into my head.

I must look terrible!

Funny hair. Splotchy skin. The minimal makeup I’d put on for work the day before a complete disaster after a night of my cheek pushing into a pillow.

“I need a mirror,” I muttered to myself. I knew that I couldn’t let him see me the way I imagined I looked.

A guy like Neil was probably used to being around perfect women. The type who bounced out of bed looking like they were born with a perfect complexion.

It always took me a good hour in front of the bathroom mirror to achieve a look like that. I didn’t think I had an hour, but some time was better than none at all.

Not that I had a makeup kit on me. But I figured with a few wads of Kleenex and tap water I could get rid of the worst of the smudges and smears.

And just as I thought, there was an ensuite bathroom. I started towards it just as the door behind me swung in.

“You found the robe,” Neil said.

Then, as though last night hadn’t happened, a full body blush came over me.

“I did. Where are my clothes?” I said. I whirled around to face him, pretending that my blush was out of anger and indignation.
