LATE NIGHTS WITH A GHOST.

GHOST 4

“What in the hell happened last night” I said, more to myself than to Tess who has all her questions written all over her face.

She bent over to where I was. Dropping the remote on the sofa.

“Aven… who did you spend the night with last night.?”

Fear gripped me, because I was more afraid of the person I had s*x with last night than the fact that we actually had s*x.

I dragged my knees close to my chest and turned to Tess. “I… I don't remember.”

“How can you not remember what happened last night? Tess asked. “Or did something else happen that you're not telling me?”

I didn't say anything. I didn't know the answer to that question. I only shook my head repeatedly.

Tess sighed. “Okay, calm down and tell me everything that happened yesterday after you learnt that Mark stole your money and ran out of the country.”

I sniffled a little… I remembered what happened yesterday. I told her how I ran to the bar drinking my guts out when I found out that Mark had eloped. I told her how I got out from the bar when it was late and saw mark at the entrance,he was in a tuxedo and a phone in one hand. Which was a bit shady because Mark doesn't have a tuxedo, let alone to wear one.

I told Tess how he guided me into this elegant limo and how we made out.

“That's crazy!” Tess yelled. “Because we both know that Mark could never afford a tux, talk more on a limo.”

“I know that.” I simply said. Because now I'm very positive that it wasn't Mark. It was someone else.

I suddenly glanced up at Tess. With eyes so wide, like it would burst out of it's sockets.

“I think I had s*x with Kai. Kai Salvador.”

With that Tess burst out laughing. Did she think this was funny? I was a bit offended though.

“What in the hell is funny right now Tess?”

Her laughter faded, replaced with a serious look on her face. “Wait, you're being serious right now?”

Really? “No I'm just joking around trying to get myself off the mood… OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS.”

She sighed. “ You said most of the limo scene was blurry. So how are you so sure it was Kai Salvador, like THE Kai Salvador?”

She has a point. But why was he in my memory if it wasn't him. I'm absolutely sure it was him. But…

“How do you know the Kai I'm talking about?” I asked, with a raised eyebrow.

“Who doesn't Kai Salvador.” She smiled. “And besides, we met him sometime ago in the opera opening, although he was being so rude to us.”

We? I didn't even remember, what is happening to me?

“We? When?”

Tessa sighed frustratedly. “You must be suffering from amnesia or something.”

Still I don't remember when we met him, I didn't even remember the opera opening or whatever she called it.

“Whatever.” Tess finally said, standing up. “It's just a one night stand, you should forget about.”

She started walking back to the kitchen but stopped abruptly, as if remembering something. She turned to me. “After breakfast, you better get some rest. Our flight leaves at 7 Am tomorrow morning.”

Then she disappeared into the kitchen.

I let out a sigh of relief. She was right. I should forget about what happened last night… it was just a one night stand. But I think it might be hard to let go because that was the best s*x experience I've ever had. If I were to do it with that person over and over again. What am I even saying?

Some minutes ago I was swearing off boys, now I'm fantasizing about one.

Maybe LA would be the best start for me. I spent five years on Mark instead of my future. I wouldn't let anyone do that to me ever again.

I stood up from the tiled floor. I need to eat breakfast and rest. Maybe this is all just a freaking nightmare….

I stroded to the kitchen, Tess was already done eating looking at the empty plate in the sink, she's probably in her room now. I took my food on the counter that she left for me and ate it. Then without hesitating, I went up to my room.

I threw myself on the little bed that somewhat covered almost the whole room. The apartment is small, including all rooms.

I laid down on the bed. But couldn't seem to go to sleep… my thoughts went to what happened last night. Why would another guy take advantage of someone that is drunk and emotionally unstable. The s*x was really great though, and it suddenly made me wonder if the person actually liked me.

I've never had a one night stand with someone before but the fact that he pleased me in every way possible and the attention he gave me. You wouldn't give that much attention to someone you don't like, right?

Does he love me? Who is he? Is he really Kai Salvador? I need to know.
