What Happened Last Night?

"Aah," I groan as I feel a sharp pain in my head as soon as I wake up. My eyes roam the unfamiliar room. I can't make out anything in the room.

"Where am I?" I voice out

"You're in my bed", I turn to my side and see a half-awake Kyle, I immediately scream and push him out of the bed, he lands on the floor with a loud thud.

"What the heck Kyle? Why are you in bed with me?" I wrap the blankets around my body as I begin to feel exposed.

Kyle stands up and has a lousy smile on his face, I look away from his annoying smile and realize he is half-naked, he has on just a pair of shorts. I never noticed how huge his muscles were before or how perfectly sculpted his… This is Kyle, I remind myself and look away.

"You got tipsy last night, don't you remember?"

My hand rises to my forehead.

"I remember it vaguely" The pain in my head increases as images of last night start coming to me, I remember everything up to the point when he and I struggled with custody of the bottle which resulted in him falling and I cannot remember anything after that point, I can't seem to recall anything. My eyes go wide as I look under the covers to see myself in nothing but a big shirt that isn't mine, I take in Kyle's appearance and the fact that I'm in his bed. It's not possible that we… I must be over analyzing everything . We couldn't have. He couldn't have.

I make eye contact with Kyle. He returns the gaze in a confused state

"I want to ask you something and I need you to be honest with me"

"Okay"

I peep underneath the blanket one more time to be sure I'm not mistaken.

"Last night did we?"

The corners of his lips start to rise into a smug smile

"Did we do what?"

I throw a pillow aggressively at him to wipe the smile away.

"You know what I mean Kyle. Did we do anything that we might regret?"

"I'm certainly not going to regret anything" he says and bursts out into laughter

"Kyle this is serious"

"Im sorry no, no no we didn't, trust me we just talked, you had a drink and then you fell asleep"

"Are you sure?"

He makes a serious face and pretends to think

"Now that I think about it. Something did happen, we shared an amazing kiss, and then we…"

I launch another pillow at him.

"Shut up, I know you're joking but why am I not in my clothes"

"You took them off yourself, you said something about how you can't sleep in your clothes, you practically ransacked my wardrobe for that shirt you have on"

"oh"

*********

"Kyle, are you sure it's okay for me to wear this? I can drive home quickly and still make it in time for work" I whine for the third time. Kyle had given me a set of neat female clothing to put on but it feels weird to do so because I have no idea who the owner is and how many people have put it on before, knowing Kyle I'm sure it's neat but he is an attractive guy and a ladies guy who knows how many girls he normally has over.

"You and I both know that there's no way you'd make it home and to work on time"

"Okay" I roll my eyes and walk into the bathroom with the clothes in my hand. I shower very quickly and get dressed, in less than twenty minutes, I'm out of the bathroom.

Kyle hands me a cup of coffee and we walk to his door together as I take sips out of the coffee. We're at the other end of the door when I finish the coffee so I rush in to return the coffee mug. When I'm almost out of the door again something makes me stop in my tracks. By the door is Mr. Miller talking to Kyle, they talk so naturally, I can't make out what they are saying but it seems more intimate than an employer-employee relationship, I give Mr. Miller a once over and conclude that he lives in the building, I decide to keep moving forward but I stop again once I remember my mission. If he sees me here, he'll assume that something is up between Kyle and me and that may destroy any chance of me proving that he is wrong about love. I move my leg backward and then move another slowly and gently, But unfortunately, my hips didn't get the memo that we were trying to be incognito as they hit a table and knock Kyle's lamp onto the floor. I bend down immediately to gather the broken pieces and survey if the lamp had any hope of survival.

"Anna"

"Miss West?"
