CHAPTER 14
731 Words
On getting home, I was super drained and was questioning my life's decision. Why the hell did I let that happen? The s*x just brought back too many memories I buried. The s*x was one of the best I have had, he was better than he was in high school. Now I was stuck with the thought of him. If someone told me that seeing him will bring back unsolved emotions, I would have argued. Why can't I get him out of my head? I took a shower and went to bed with different thoughts running through my head.

It was Saturday and I was grateful for a weekend without office work. I went downstairs to grab junk food and came back upstairs. I had not yet taken my bath but I didn't care, I am allowed to lazy around on a weekend. I logged into Netflix and started surfing for TV shows that will keep me at the edge of my seat the whole day. I decided to binge watch greys anatomy. I have been seeing people make a fuss about it on social media platforms. As I settled in to start watching, I received a call from Grace. "Babe, what do I wear on a date" she asked panicking. "Okay? What's going on? Date with who?" I asked calmly. "with Ethan of course" she screamed into the phone. "Oh! okay, calm down. I will be on my way to your house in the next 10 minutes. Expect me in the next 45 minutes at most." I said, jumping off the bed and dashing to the bathroom. I quickly took my bath and wore my clothes in record time. I packed all my junk food into my tote bag and headed downstairs. I went to the kitchen and saw Mary. "Good morning darling. Breakfast is ready" she said, smiling at me. "Good morning Mary, Can you please pack for two? I am going to Grace's house" I hugged her and said. "No problem, give me a minute" she replied moving around, grabbing things. Two minutes later, she was done packing the food and she handed it over to me. "Send my greetings to Grace" she said as I dashed out of the kitchen. "I will" I yelled from the living room.

I parked in front of her apartment complex, grabbed my things and went into the building. She stays alone, her parents are still in France. I greeted the security guard in the reception and got into the elevator, picked a floor and waited. She stays on floor 12, door 3. I got off on her floor and knocked on her door. "Coming!" She yelled from inside. Few seconds later, she opened the door and I entered. I went into her kitchen and dropped the stuffs I brought. "Why are you freaking out?" I asked, walking back into the living room. "I actually like this guy and i don't want to ruin this." she said still obviously freaking out. i followed her into the bedroom and sat on her bed. "What are the options?" I asked her. We started going through her closet. "Wait! What time is the date?" I asked, pausing the search. "5p.m" she said not meeting my eyes. "Its just past 11" I yelled. "I know, I just want to be prepared " she said shyly. Okay I had to calm down. "Alright let's continue looking" I said calmly.
Few minutes later, we already settled for a dress and heel. "Alright, now we can eat" I said, heading to the kitchen to grab the food I brought. We turned on the TV, connected it to Netflix and started binge watching Grey's anatomy together and eating the food Mary packed for us "By the way, Mary sends her greetings" I said, mid episode 2."i should spend time with her when next i come to your place. i miss her company" Grace replied with food in her mouth. Grace and i have been friends since childhood so Grace loves Mary as much as i do. We watched Greys anatomy till it was time for Grace to get ready for her date. She wore her dress, i did her make up and she was ready to go. At exactly 5p.m on the dot, Ethan came around to pick her and i packed my things and left for home
