Chapter Nine

Miranda

I’m barely awake the next morning when Jane knocks. All night was spent tossing and turning, lamenting over the fact that I slept with the enemy—for a second time. If you looked up the word regrets, my bleary-eyed picture would be next to it, with mussed hair and a coffee cup clenched between my fists. #regrets

I couldn’t even write last night. I tried to roll my way into my office and at least make use of the time I was awake, but nothing came. Awake, tormented, and unable to write. That’s what sleeping with Charlie Shivers has done to me. I am ruined. This is beyond unacceptable. #regrets

The worst part is, I totally loved it. I thought the sex was incredible the first time around? Like, write-home-and-embarrass-the-fuck-out-of-your-oversharing-mother incredible? Even better the second time, in public against a wall while spewing vitriol at one another. God help me, I’m a lost cause. There’s only one thing left to do: confess my sins and drown myself in some holy water. And by holy water, I mean vodka. #noregrets

Jane comes in, looking far more refreshed than I am, and she just got off work. She has no donuts to cheer me and she drinks the last of my coffee, so I hate her. I tell her as much, and all she does is laugh at me.

“You look like you had a rough night. What happened to the hottie? Nice hickeys, by the way! Looks like the plan worked after all.”

“It worked too well,” I groan and lay my head down on the counter. I can feel Jane staring at me. “That whole ‘don’t get his name’ business was a terrible idea, because he was Charlie Shivers all along.”

“Charlie Shivers?” Jane’s face twists a moment. “Wait, my favorite writer that I can’t admit to you Charlie Shivers? Butts and dinosaurs Charlie Shivers?”

“Yes!” I beat my fist on the counter. “The very one! I hate him, Jane. I hate him. And he hates me. Worst of all, we had to be on a panel together, and we spent the entire time talking shit about each other. He actually said I looked like the kind of girl who cries over my wineglass while I write.”

“Damn, he pegged you straight away.” I glare at her, and she holds her hands up in surrender. “Sorry. Just saying. So what happened?”

“He acted like he was hot shit and knew what he was doing, and I set about proving that he was a hack. I wish you could have seen the panel, because I served him hard and good. And not in the sexy way, just in the vindication kind of way. It trended on Twitter. Afterwards, well—we yelled at each other and he called me a failure and then…we sort of had hate sex along the wall of a conference room, but then we got walked in on.”

“What?” Jane nearly spits out her coffee. “You’re kidding.”

“I wish.” Kind of. I wish it had been anyone but him. I wish I hadn’t gotten myself off thinking about it afterwards.
