CHAPTER 1: WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE

IZA

I have been searching for renting houses for a couple of weeks. However, I never took it seriously because I am not the only one that should be looking.

I just came from my working shift a little earlier than my usual time. I feel not well and my manager allowed me to go home early. I had a slight fever.

Parked my car in front of my apartment rented. We rented, yes, I am not alone living in the apartment. My boyfriend Eric and I have been coupled for a year now. We wanted to move into a new place because the owner of the house wanted to renovate or something. She was giving us until next month.

It was only past two in the morning. I am sure Eric is still sleeping. I usually come home around four to five in the morning. I work at the Coyote U Club. Sound familiar?! Yes, it named from that movie Coyote Ugly year 2000 an American romantic comedy drama thing.

The owner of the club was inspired with that movie but it was not the same theme. He made it different way by not dancing in the bar area. There is a dance floor for the customers who loves dancing with different local bands are playing every night.

Aside from Coyote U Club, he also has Coyote U Sports Bar. It was the same building different entrances. We all know that some people do not like super loud music like dancing clubs.

Got inside, closing the front door quietly. I noticed something on the floor. Turning on in the full light in the living room area. I saw scattered clothes to be exact not only men's clothes but also women's clothes, that is not mine obviously.

My heart was pounding as I turned my eyes to our bedroom door. I did not rush right away but to calm myself first. Closing my eyes, took me ten seconds to do the exhale inhale exercises.

Walking slowly, opening the door leaving it open. Turning the lights on, I got what I wanted to see.

Eric was not alone, both of them were naked covered with the quilt in our own bed. I noticed the woman; she was the daughter of the owner of this apartment we rented. She was a little younger than me.

Eric opened his eyes first from the bright of the lights. His eyes were wide open as he looked towards me. I remained standing in the same spot which was at the door frame. He got up, shaking the naked woman Allie, that was her name. She also got up quickly, lowering her head.

"Babe, is it not what you think." He said grabbing his boxer short. Walking towards me. Allie got up from bed rushing out of the room.

"Oh, really Eric?! Is not what I think? Then tell me what was it you both doing anyway? Just playing little house in our bedroom like a little kid, only you two were naked doing mommy daddy thing." I said sarcastically. He was speechless for a moment.

"Iza, babe, I am sorry. I won't do it again." Eric apologized for his mistakes directly as he kneeled. I shook my head; I do not know if it was once or more than that.

"No, you should leave. It is better this way to go on separate way." I said calmly. I do not have the strength to argue with him.

"Babe, please." He begged, holding my hand.

"Either way... I get my things later. It's over." I said firmly, walking out of the door. I did not waste my time I drove off back to the Coyote U Club. My tears were flowing as I reached my car.

I reached there not long ago. I stayed there in the parking area of the employees. Unlocking my door but did not go out because I do not have the strength. Grabbing my water bottle and medicine.

Drinking it before going to rest for a while. I really need it before I decide later where to stay. Looking at the dashboard clock it was already 4 in the morning. I adjusted my car seat a little backward for me to lay down for an hour.

I woke up, stretching my body in my comfy bed. I touched my forehead and the fever was gone. Thank God! Then I came to realize something. Looking around, got up immediately.

This is not my bed. This is not my room because it was not as big as this. And definitely, I am not inside my car. Where the hell am I? Obviously, I did not sleepwalk. It is not a hotel too.

I recalled I was in the parking area, inside my car taking some rest. Who carried me here? Shaking my head, thinking about it. It seems I was totally knockout from my medicine.

Remembering about what happened last night in my apartment made my blood boiling. That was one of the worst nights of my life!

Climbing out of the bed, looking at the wall clock. It was past 12 noon, I slept eight hours. Just great at least I have the strength to face Eric later.

I startled when I'm about to turn the door knob. Two familiar faces popped in.

"Hey, you should not get up yet." Matt said, the owner of Coyote U, my good boss and a friend to all his employees.

"True! You should take some rest." Trixie said and hugged me. "We know you were not feeling well last night." She added, my close co-worker and a friend in Coyote U. They were an item actually. "You know I got scared when Jim found you inside the car last night. Luckily, the door was unlocked." Jim was one of the bouncers in the club.

"No, it was okay. I am okay now after taken some medicine and rested eight hours I am fine now, really." I said with assurance. "Thank you both for taking care of me." I smiled to them.

"Are you sure?" Matt asked, I nodded. "Alright! Come, we will feed you before you get sick again." He chuckled. Trixie and I followed him out.
