Chapter Thirteen

Come With Your Arms Raised High

I wake up to complete and utter darkness, it feels like morning but I can’t see anything resembling daylight. Ethan’s naked body is wrapped around mine, and I recall all of the many things we did through the night. Is it possible to be happy and completely disgusted with oneself at the same time? I don’t regret having sex with Ethan, what I regret is that I did it now, at a time when I have other reasons for getting close to him. God, if he ever finds out he’s going to hate me. Pain stabs me somewhere in the location of my heart.

It takes me a moment to realise it’s dark because Ethan has these strange mechanical black out blinds that must roll down automatically once it gets bright out. I pull away from him and sit up, he remains sleeping soundly, obviously resting during the day is the norm for him. I turn to look at him, his dark blond hair hangs over his face, his lips are slightly parted as his breathing rises and falls.

I kiss his forehead and gently pull the blanket over him, before shrugging into the leggings and cardigan Delilah gave me to wear. I search around for a pen and paper and eventually find some over by his bookshelves. I scribble down my new number and leave it by the bed, so that Ethan will have a way of contacting me later when he wakes up. As tempting as it would be to spend the day wrapped up in bed with him, I have a few things that I need to get done while I have the time.

Downstairs I locate Ethan’s washer and dryer, where I find my clothes from last night, fresh and clean. I quickly change into them and quietly leave the house. There’s nothing worse than doing the walk of shame on a cold frosty morning, but I don’t have any other choice. At least there aren’t any neighbours hanging around.

My body is still tingling all over from Ethan’s touch. It scares me how good he can make me feel, and all so effortlessly. I walk in the direction of the city centre and go to the bank. I’d managed to drop in the other day while I’d been out shopping with Finn and Gabriel to deposit the money Pamphrock is paying me. I just wasn’t comfortable with all of that cash on me. I get the lady to deposit one thousand into Nicky’s account, I may have drifted away from her since becoming acquainted with the world of the supernatural, but I haven’t forgotten how well she took care of me while I’d been grieving for Matthew.

I think the money might make up for the crap she had to deal with. At least I hope it does. I send her a text letting her know and she immediately writes back telling me to stopping being ridiculous, I tell her it’s done now and her silence seems to indicate she’s accepted it.
