Chapter 8

I opened my eyes to a harsh ray of light beaming through the little sliver of curtain that was opened.

“Audrey wake up your going to be late!” Cassidy yelled at me. “Coffee is in the pot I gotta run, I will text you later!”

I heard the door shut then sat up and peered around my room.

‘Was it all a dream? Everything felt so real and my body feels so sore. What happened last night? It couldn’t have been a dream I remember everything so vividly the way Sebastian’s hands felt against my body touching me in all the right places driving me crazy with those eyes. Seriously am I going nuts? I really need to talk to Cassidy and find out what happened last night. I need to know I’m not insane and if it was all real how did I end up back at my apartment and why not with him?’

I feel my eyes start to water.

“Maybe he realized what my mother has always instilled into my head. I am no one. I will never be good enough” I angrily growled into my pillow.

My alarm started blaring and it gave me a moment of awareness.

‘Shit I’m going to be late!’

I hurriedly grabbed a towel and ran to the shower.

‘Why is the shower already running?’

I peek my head into the bathroom and there he stood in all his glory.

“Hey sleepy head.” Sebastian smirked.

So it wasn’t a dream.

I was relieved and scared all at the same time. I had so many questions and my brain felt foggy. Why are we at my apartment and why is he here too?

I feel my legs start to shake and I’m sure he is starting to think I am crazy as I just stand there dumbfounded.

Finally I open my mouth.

“Why are you here?”

“Come here beautiful. I’m sure your still sore the hot water will help ease that. Just hop in and let me help you feel better we can talk about everything later and you don’t want to be late for work do you?” He softly said to me.

“Umm ok”

‘Umm ok?’ Did I really just say that? I swear I am either dumb or crazy.

I slowly step forward and undress and shyly get into the shower while holding my hand across my breast.

“Don’t hide from me Audrey. Never hide from me you have nothing to be ashamed or shy about you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on I assure you.” He sweetly smiled at me.

I lowered my hands and grabbed my pink and purple loofah and put a dollop of soap on it and lathered it between his long fingers.

As I stared at his fingers images of what he had done to me last night flashed through my mind and I felt my body start to heat and blush up.

“I know what your thinking” he smiled crookedly. “If you weren’t already sore and running late I would already be having you screaming my name. So please stop those naughty thoughts as I am already trying my hardest not to take you here and now and I’ve already told your roommate that I would make sure you make it to work safely.” He start slowly washing me. I felt awkward at first then as he slowly and masterfully massaged the soapy loofah onto my skin I began to relax.

“Why are you here Sebastian?” I whispered so low I didn’t think he would hear me.

“I told you we will talk later. Right now I just want you to relax baby and let me take care of you.”

We finished the shower and he stepped out and handed me my towel.

“When your finished getting ready I will be in the other room waiting for you. Your friend told me where you work so when you are finished I would really like to take you. If that’s ok?”

“Yes please I would really like that.” I answered.

He quietly left me to get ready. After snapping out of my daze I hurriedly got ready.

After a quick glimpse in the mirror I walked out into the living area and just as he said he would be he was there waiting for me. He handed me a thermos of coffee and together we walked out of my apartment and down to his car.

My mind started to once again race with questions and my palms started to sweat with nervousness.

‘What does this day have in store for me?’ I wondered.
