I feel like I am doing the walk of shame as I make my way into the office the next morning. I try hard not to think about Danny and the events of the previous evening. I feel like I am living in a nightmare where, every day, I find myself in even more awful and precarious positions. I try not to think of Danny’s flirtatious face this morning when I was leaving. His sly comment asking if I left any presents for him in his room made my skin crawl. I wasn’t sure if he was joking or serious, but I really hoped that he didn’t think I left him my panties on purpose last night because that was definitely not the case.

I really hope that Colton is not going to be there this morning. I don’t want to see him. I don’t want to talk about our phone call. I especially don’t want him to talk about any of our intimate moments. There have been far too many of them. I don’t know why I can’t seem to resist him. And I don’t really want to analyze the reasons why he sets my skin on fire.

It’s not like he’s utterly gorgeous.

Or that his soulful blue eyes seem to pierce my soul.

His perfectly coiffed, silky golden-brown hair doesn’t feel like heaven on my fingers.

And his abs for days don’t make my stomach flip.

I certainly didn’t wake up this morning thinking about his smirk and how it sends my entire body racing for cover.

I am not interested in him.

Whatsoever.

I really hope he’s not going to be there this morning. I just want one day to just be and relax.

The office is busy this morning. I’m not sure if that is normal as I haven’t been here in years, but I sure hope that the long line of people isn’t going to make me late. I know that there is a one-hundred-percent certainty that if I’m late, Colton will be there. Just waiting for me with that devious, “I’m better than you” look on his face.

I try not to sigh as I join the line. There are at least five other people standing by reception waiting to check in. I attempt to brush my hair back with my fingers as I wait. I’d forgotten to put it up due to my rushing to get away from Danny, and I knew it had to look a frizzy mess.

My phone beeps and I look at the screen, expecting to see Colton’s name, but it’s not him. It’s one of my good friends, Sarah. I answer quickly.

“Hey girl, I can’t talk long. I’m at work.”

“Work?” She sounds surprised and I realize I haven’t updated her on any of my recent shenanigans. “Yay, I’m so glad you got a job.” She sounds pleased for me because she knows the state of my finances just as well as Isabel does.

“Oh, it’s not even a real job,” I say in hushed tones. “You don’t even want to know what drama I’ve gotten myself into.
