Maddy

I cry all the way back to the hotel. How did everything go from perfect to problematic? I met the perfect man. He makes me feel like I have value. He kisses me like I’m the last woman on the planet. And although the initial penetration was shocking, everything else that followed was amazing. I’m conflicted. I’m upset and yet, I already miss him so much that I want to tell the driver to go back, but I know I can’t. I need to think.

I tip the driver and walk back to my room. Once there, I run a bath. It’s not as charming or appealing as the bath Ripley ran for me, but it will do. I pull down my underwear and run my fingers through the wetness. It’s him and me mixed together. In any other situation it might seem okay, but I’ve only known him two days. I gave him everything. He says he’ll take care of me. What does that mean?

My hands come to my stomach. Could a child be growing inside me? Chances are slim to none. This is why I need to be by myself. I need clarity. I look up the odds. All I find is the confirmation that any time a sperm and an egg meet, it’s possible. The only thing that gives me comfort is that I recently ended my cycle, which lessens my chance of fertility.

I pick up my phone and climb into the hot water. There are no bubbles. I lean back and slide into the water up to my chin. Who is Ripley Stark and why does he affect me so?

My tight, tender muscles relax and my tears stop falling. My phone vibrates and skitters across the bathtub ledge.

One glance tells me it’s Ripley.

Are you okay?

Was I? No, I was out of my element. I fell for a man in forty-eight hours. I gave him everything I held back for years. Maybe it was the wine. Maybe it was being in Vail with a sexy man. I could give it every excuse in the world from aliens to mental illness, but I know in my heart I’d do it again. Only next time, I’d bring a condom.

I’m sorry I left you. It wasn't to hurt you. I’m conflicted. I’m confused.

I toe the drain plug open and watch the water swirl away. I don’t want a rapid exit for Ripley and I—

if there is a Ripley and I. This could be his game. One night of amazing sex, and that’s it. I set my phone down and pull my body from the tub.

I ache in all the right places and the wrong places too. My heart feels heavy. The terrycloth robe wraps comfortably around my body and my phone buzzes again.

Let me in. I need to know you’re okay.

I read his message over and over again. Let me in… I race to the door and look through the peephole. He is there, leaning against the wall across from my door.
