a one nightstand?...I am officially screwed
I open my eyes in an unfamiliar bedroom, wrapped in nothing but a duvet, with a splitting headache. “ I hope somebody didn't just kidnap me for ransom” I mumble as I look around to find anything familiar in the room. my parents are rich and influential people in silver city so my line of thinking is totally justified. As I look around the blue and white themed room frantically, my eyes lands on a familiar picture frame beside the bed with stickers on the back. “ why does this picture frame look like the same one in olives room?” I question myself “ it has to be one hell of a coincidence” I answer myself while still staring at the frame that looks just like the same one in my twin sisters room, the same frame that I have gotten used to staring at longingly for about three years now. I don't know why I find only a picture frame familiar out of all the other things in the room, but there is just this sick feeling in my tummy that is making me dreaded picking up the frame. I finally summon the courage to pick up the frame hoping it is not what I am thinking it is because I need a clue to figure out where I am. I hold my breath as I turn the picture over only for my heart to sink on seeing the picture of my late sister and her one true love who is now the boss of the company I work in staring back at me. “I am well aware that I woke up covered in only a duvet but think I still need to clarify if this is happening or it is just my imagination " I mutter as I take a quick peep into the duvet. "that confirms it...I am officially screwed" I pronounce “ I just had a one night stand with somebody, and that person happens to be my boss ?" I ask myself the obvious because I don't want to believe it. I shake my head frantically looking around the room for Adrian but he is nowhere around. “How did I get past the lounge into his room?” “What the hell happened between us?” “How did my sister's death anniversary end in me lying naked on Adrian's bed?” I ask myself a few questions from the different questions racing through my mind but there were only questions on my mind, no answers. I sigh and mentally s***k myself for being so drunk the other night without any recollection of how I got into the room. It took a moment for me to get my head together but immediately I did, I wrapped the duvet around my slim body and got out of bed. "What has happened has happened the way forward is to get me out of here" I repeated like a mantra as I start picking up the scattered trail of clothing around the room not allowing the sore feeling in-between my tight and pounding head to stop me. I feel so terrible right now and I don't think I can bear to face Adrian because he is going to feel twice the guilt I am feeling. "For crying out loud, he just slept with another woman and it's not just any woman, the person in question is the sister of his one true love" I accuse myself "if it were to be another person maybe it won't be this bad" I lament to no one but myself as I hurriedly put my clothes on. I was about to slip out of his room unnoticed when I noticed the stained bedspread and I start contemplating on what to do with it. ln as much as I know, this is not my house, and randomly taking someone else doesn't look or sound right, I can't bear to leave the room without doing anything about it because the sight of it alone is making me extremely uncomfortable. "I don't think my boss is going to be as petty enough to bother about what happened to his bedspread" I assure myself as I look around the room for something to stuff the bedspread in. I searched around the room but couldn't find anything to aid my cause so I open Adrian's wardrobe out of desperation. I found a big designer shopping bag inside but it was not empty, it has something in it but this is not the time for me to start thinking things through, so I quickly empty the content of the bag inside the wardrobe trying my best not to further mess things up for him than I already did. I stuffed the big bedspread inside the bag hurriedly before making my way out of the room. Now that I have successfully got out of Adrian's room, what is left for me is to slip out of this building unnoticed. I scan the hallway to be sure that the coast is clear before making my way to the lounge, being overly cautious like a thief that broke into someone's house and is so scared of being caught. I didn't see my bag in the room so I scan around the lounge littered with the leftover food and wine from last nights 'celebration'. "I need to be sure that nothing important is missing from my bag because I can't return to this hose again after what happened between Adrian and Me, "I said as I take my time to cross-check the content of the bag. After I was sure that nothing was missing from the bag, I pick my handbag, the big bag I kept the duvet I removed from the bag, held my shoes in my hands, and tiptoed out of the house I let out a deep breath as I walked a few meters away from Adrian's house before bringing out my phone to check how many missed calls I have. I know that if anyone didn't blow up my line the previous night with calls, Dianne is for sure going to leave me a lot of missed calls and a whole lot of 'when are you coming home messages'. I am not the type to sleep out, and on rare occasions that I have to work overtime at work, I make sure that I inform Dianne about it. in this kind of situation that I didn't sleep at home, nor did I pre-inform my best friend that I wasn't going to come back home the previous night so it's just normal that Dianne will blow up my line with calls. I need somebody to come and get me or a way to navigate my way out of here before Adrian comes out and insists on dropping me off at home. I know that Adrian is in that house and I confirmed it when I saw his favorite car in the parking lot but thank goodness he didn't come out because it will be way too awkward between us. I try booking an Uber but the majority of the Uber drive was booked and the only free one is at the outskirt of silver city right now. "What will I do now?" I question myself "There is no way I can't wait here for an hour, what if Adrian wants to leave for work and meets me here?" I panicked as I brought out my phone to dial my best friend's number. Adrian was the one that brought me here the previous day and right now, what I need is somebody that can get me out of here without asking silly questions. I know that Dianne is going to be at work right now and I am considering calling one of the Emeralds for a moment as I dialed Dianne's number but I am still very mad at myself for what I did so calling the other Emeralds right now or my other sister Eden is not an option........it will just make things worse. if I call any of the emeralds up, my Secret is going to be exposed sooner than I expect because I am going to have to explain what happened between Adrian and Me. As for my sister Eden, she is really sweet but at the same time very judgemental so it's safer for me to go with my Dianne option because she is one of those people that won't pry on your private life unless you decide to tell her. "Hey, babe what's up" Dianne answers in her all professional voice. if this were under normal circumstances, I would have gone on and on about how excited her voice is supposed to sound all that when her best friend that has been gone for the whole night is hitting her up, but then this is not a normal circumstance and most importantly, my best friend also has a life and I am very sure that she is at work right now. "I know you are at work right now but I need to bail me out of trouble," I say in a pleading tone. "Bail you out of trouble? did you get arrested?" Dianne asks "Na.....you are not liable to doing something that might get you arrested easily " Dianne answers herself almost immediately. "I am in a terrible situation and I need somebody to get me out of here," I tell Dianne. "Send me your location.....I will be there as soon as I can" Dianne says and before disconnecting the call, I could hear her instruct her assistant to continue her meeting in her stead. I felt that calling up my best friend to get me will make me feel better, but right now knowing that Dianne had to leave her meeting because of the silly mistake that I made is not helping my mental health at all. "What have I done?" I question myself again. I just slept with my boss and at the same time I just betrayed my sister by sleeping with her boyfriend and I can't erase what just happened. "In your defense, olive is dead and it could have been anyone in your place so I don't think a sane person will view that as you betraying her" a voice in my head suggested and I just know that it is the voice that supports my stupid actions. "Even at that, Adrian and Olive never broke up and he has never made any effort to move on so that doesn't justify your actions at all." the other voice that won't support my stupidity scolded me. I am so screwed....... how do I face my boss at work? how do I tell my girls?. How will I tell my mom? most importantly what will they think about me? I Ember Weston, a one-night stand? I am officially screwed.
