COMPLICATED

It was a beautiful morning as usual as the sun entered across the room, slapping me on the face. I was really enjoying the moment that I wished for it to be endless as I turned around the bed, stretching my tied muscles. Immediately as I slightly opened my eyes to wake up from my dream, I noticed the room I was in wasn't mine. Just then, I remembered I was drinking and having a conversation with the CEO till late in the night but I couldn't remember what happened between us. I rose up to my feet, after calculating what could actually happened from the yesterday's drinks because the last time I checked, I was really a bad drinker. My heart began to race bit by bit as different thoughts and pictures kept on bombarding my pretty head, leaving me panicking. I couldn't envisage more further or waited up to be dramatic as I stood up to the standing mirror I found in the room and check my body if nothing happened. After confirming I was actually okay and not touched, I heaved a sigh of relief. "Where is the CEO?" I whispered, surveying the room. "Oh! Now I think this is the right time I can leave without us seeing ourselves because I can't think straight about the nuisance I might have constituted from the drink I took" I reminded myself quickly as I went to where I slept earlier. I took up my phone and checked the time. On seeing the time, I shouted "It's 11am already... I am late for work". Just as about I was starting to rush, I got a text. I picked my call and tried to click on the message to see what the content was. It was a message from the boss, telling me to take the days off till next week. He also went further, asking me how I felt and that he has paid for the hotel room so I shouldn't bother about it and I can stay as long as I want, insisting that I took hangover soup before I left due to the excessive alcohol I drank. "Oh my! At least, that would save me from seeing his face for some time... So thoughtful of him" I breathed out happily, feeling very much excited. Just then, I noticed several missed calls on my phone. I tabbed on the screen to see who the caller was and I screamed when I saw 30 missed calls from Dan. I shouted "What the f**k!". I have had several missed calls from Dan since yesterday. I already forgot of our appointment totally, not until when I saw his calls. I quickly dialed up his contact to call him back but his contact wasn't going through. It already dawned on me then that I knew no matter the excuses I gave, he would be very much angry with me because yesterday would be the first day we never celebrated our birthdays together. I quickly rushed over to the bathroom to clean myself up and in not than few minutes, I came in and took my bag. I looked around to scrutinize the whole entire room if I wasn't leaving any of my things behind and when I had satisfied my eyes, I went out while closing the door behind me. As I reached downstairs, I waited for some minutes inside my car as I thought of tangible excuses to give him. When I finally got a hold of myself, I asked myself "Should I go to his house now or I should get home first?". After I deliberated over the two for some time, I agreed on going home first so I could at least clean and change myself into something nice because I knew guys can be jealous and I didn't want to bring myself for a warrant of any of his offers also. I shrugged my shoulder and said "Okay Ella... Let's go home and change into something nice before going to his house" as I pulled the gear and drove out of the hotel. On getting home, I quickly packed my car in the garage and went upstairs which seemed not like I ran up. I opened my door and went in, slumping onto the Sofa. I breathed out a sign of relief "Oh my God! It's been a long day since yesterday I left home". I rested and took a nap for some time to cool down my heated brain from the hectic day. After some few minutes of taking a nap, I felt I was famished so I went to my Kitchen to cook noodles for myself. As I was cooking inside the kitchen, I could hear my phone rang so I rushed over to where it was ringing from and the caller was my Mom. I screamed joyfully over the phone "Mom!". "My beautiful queen, how are you doing?" she said, smiling to me over the phone. "I'm fine, Mom... What about you and Dad?" I asked. "I'm good, too... Everyone is fine. How is your Friend and work also" "Dan is fine... As well as work also" I replied, humbly. "Okay dear... Happy birthday in Arrears to you and your friend, darling" she said excitedly. "Aww... Thanks ma. Even though it was late for your wishes..." I smirked. "Oh my! I'm so sorry dear... Don't worry, I prepared your gift already... Just let me know when you are coming to pay us a visit" she pleaded. "Okay ma... Apology accepted. But I hope you don't do that next time, madam" I said, cracking up a joke and we both laughed. "Aww... Okay, Noted dear. I promise they won't be next time" she chuckled, then continued "I called to greet you... Later dear" she said, blowing me kisses. "Bye... Thank you, Mom" I replied, hanging up the call. Then I went to check what I was cooking and it was ready. I dish it out and took a Yogurt from the fridge, then walked towards the dinning room to eat. It took me less time 5minutes to finish eating so I rested for the food to digest before I went inside the bathroom to brush my teeth and bath also. I spent a long time in the bathroom, scrubbing my body softly and feeling the atmosphere around. After a while, I got out from the bathtub and cover my hair with a towel while moving to my dressing room. I let loose of the towel which fell down with speed, leaving me naked. I stared at my matured body inside the mirror while moisturizing my body with a cream. I rubbed it on myself romantically, becoming more dramatic after which I applied body spray on all over me. I breathed in, closing my eyes to feel the warmth of the perfume. Then I walked to my Wardrobe to find a suitable cloth for me to wear to Dan's house. I deliberated over the type of cloth I should wear for some time and I concluded on wearing a Pink short gown along with black heels with a White bag to match. After that, I did a little bit of Make-up and comb my hair. When I was done, I looked myself in the mirror while flaunting my dress and body elegantly. I let out a sign of satisfaction "Now you are talking, Ella". Then I brought out my phone in my bag, saying "Cheese" to take a picture. I snapped with this perfect smile on my cheeks while showing my white set of teeth. I laughed hysterically when i was looking at the picture. "See pretty lady... I need to post this" I said, going through my social media to make a post with the Caption "Have you seen a beautiful lady today?" and I included emojis with it. Within some minutes, I already had engagements on it as people liked and commented. I smiled to myself and logged out of my account to visit Dan as I stepped outside and locked my apartment door behind me. I was already downstairs when I unlocked my car and entered, putting my stuff on the other seat beside me. I put on the seat belt, then let out a sound of joy within as I hummed happily along with the music in my car. I shouted "Whoo" as I turned the car around and zoomed out of compound.
