An arm touched her body, it was warm and she loved it. She clutched the sheets, smiling at the warmth she got from the arm. Is Kayla back and sleeping in her room? Why is Kayla hugging her like this? She breathed slowly, then she opened her eyes. It seems to be morning, and her head felt like tearing apart.

She moved the hand which is unusually strong and sturdy away. She sat up on the bed, stretching and yawning. She stopped to look around the room. This is not the room she slept in yesterday. Is this Kayla's room? The design is not Kayla and it looks too polite, how is this the room that she just moved in?

Then she realised something. Why is the cold air hitting her skin like this. She looked down at herself and saw she is naked. She's naked? Why would she be naked? She turned to look at the person sleeping beside her. She ended up screaming when she saw the person beside her. He ended up waking up, his eyes widened on seeing her too.

She dragged the sheets over herself, moving to a corner of the bed while staring in terror. He also sat up, confused to meet her. The same man she has been trying not to meet again for years is now right in front of her.

Jared Holland. The man she had a dreamy romance with years ago. He didn't change much. His eyes are still the same and his hair grew longer. Except for a little aging, he still pretty much looks the same. What's worse is her heart that races every time she sees him. Why is she still this way?

“What the fuck?! What are you doing here?“ She fired at him, ready to send him to hell.

He wanted to stand up but saw that he was naked. He is also confused as to how he managed to get into the same bed with his ex girlfriend. He found his boxers and quickly wore them, he turned to say something to her which she didn't allow.

“Get out! Get out right now!“ She pointed towards the door, fuming. Her anger can literally burn down an entire building.

“Calm down! I think we are both responsible for this so we should not blame each other over this. I don't know how you got into my private room, don't be mad at me.“ He tried to explain.

She scoffed angrily, trying to remember what happened last night. She only remembers what she wants to. Seeing him as the jerk he is.

“Don't give me that crap! You knew I was drunk and you asked me to drink with you. I am going to report you for rape!“

Jared sighed in frustration, “We are mutually responsible for this. What are you going to say to them? Do you just go about sleeping with any man that asks you to drink with him?“

Jared has mixed feelings. He doesn't know if he should be happy to see her or angry. They have not met once in the last four years and a lot of time has passed. How she ended up getting in his bed is what he still doesn't understand.

“What are you doing right now? Are you trying to insult me after you have taken advantage of me you jerk?“ May snapped at him.

He sighed in frustration, “I am not blaming you. I don't know what happened between us last night. We should-”

She stopped him from continuing it, “Nothing happened between us. Get out. I want to change.“

He didn't say anything else. He just put on his trousers and made his way out with his shirt. May quickly dressed up and adjusted her hair as soon as he went out. She tried to remember what happened between them after the drink, she doesn't remember much except for unwanted images.

“Nothing happened between us last night. It's just a mistake. We were drunk and took our clothes off.“ She tried to tell herself, assuring that nothing happened.

When she stepped down from the bed, she felt a sharp pain between her legs and below her abdomen. Her pupils dilated in shock, did they really have sex last night?

“How! You are such an idiot! How did I end up here?“ She roughed her hair in frustration, she felt too embarrassed to go out.

She also feels wronged. How can he just have her like that after all these years? She needs to leave as soon as possible.

While she is still complaining to herself, the door opened revealing Jared who walked back into the room. She glared at him, like she wanted to pull his eyes out.

“I didn't ask you to come back in.“ She fired at him.

He shrugged, “I am sorry. I just assumed you must be done dressing up. I still have some things in this room you see.“

May searched for her bag and took it, her heart was pounding too loud. “I never met you today. Nothing happened between us. Please let's keep living as strangers.“

He stopped her as she made her way to the door. “How long are you going to act like you don't know me?“

She stopped walking, and slowly turned to look at him. She scoffed, “I don't think we are that close to talk in that manner Mr Holland. Please ignore me, I don't want anything to do with you.“

She turned again and opened the door, satisfied at the way she handled the situation. She walked out of the room and went straight out to her car before making a fuss of it. Her anger was too much. She felt it was too unfair and she felt used. How can he say that to her when he was the one who used her?

She drove out of the club and made her way home. She stopped by at a store to get a cure for her hangover. She won't stop thinking about Jared. How did she not see this coming? She meets a man after four years and the first thing she does is to sleep with him?

When she got back to the apartment, she must Kayla already back at home. Kayla rushed worriedly on seeing May come back.

“Where have you been? I have been calling and you weren't picking up! You got us so worried.“ Kayla asked scolding her. “By the way, did you drink? You don't look too good.“

May shook her head weakly, “I'm not fine. I just came from sleeping with Jared Holland.“

Kayla gasped, “What?“
