CHAPTER FOUR
LILY
Oh my god, oh my god. These are my thoughts when I wake up in Blake's bed.
I slept with a guy I just met. This isn't like me. I could blame this on Ted and Violet, but this one is all on me. The worst thing about the whole sleeping with a guy who I barely know is that wow, had I only known sex could be this good.
I look over to see that Blake is still asleep. I’m not ready to talk to him about what we did last night. I need time to process everything. I came to New York to think about what I was going to do with my life and ended up having sex. Not good.
I ease out from under his arm, moving quietly so as not to wake him, then pause in my escape for one last look. The sheet is pulled down to his hips. This guy is gorgeous. I've seen six packs in pictures, but oh my goodness, he might even have a twelve pack. Ted never looked this good, ever. The guy must work out endlessly, because you don't get a body like that sitting behind a desk all day. Plus, he must do pretty well for himself, because this place is spectacular.
He growls in his sleep and reaches out with his arm. I grab the pillow and put it where I was lying just a few moments ago. He pulls it next him. I can't stand here all day and look at the guy, so I ease down the stairs to the living room and start picking up my scattered clothes. I can't find my underwear. I peek under the couch cushions and around the furniture. The place is decorated in different shades of brown, with plenty of pillows and pictures sprinkled about. It's a homey place. The couch is made of suede. It was soft. I look around and can’t find my underwear. Ok, forget it.
I put everything else on and hit the button for the elevator. When the door slides shut, I almost regret leaving. Something doesn't feel right about sneaking out of his place without saying anything to him. I’ll probably never see him again, but I won't ever forget this. How can I? It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life thus far.
Taking a cab back to Jenny's place, I have a little time to go over the events of last night. His kisses and hands were all over my body. I faintly remember him telling me I was his and only his. And he repeated it several times.
Jenny throws the door open when I stick the key in the lock. I thought she would still be asleep.
"Where the hell have you been? I tried calling you. I was ready to call the cops."
"Sorry. Must have turned my phone off."
I pull my phone from my purse, and sure enough, it’s off. I turn it back on and look at all the messages. I've had my phone turned off since I tweeted my message on my wedding day.
"Dang, that’s a lot of messages," I groan. I don't want to read any of them. Maybe I’ll just delete them all.
Before I can do anything else, Jenny brings me back to my current situation. "Were you with Blake all night?"
All I can do is give a little nod. I walk over to the couch and drop down on it. I'm exhausted and not in the mood for an interrogation.
When I look up, Jenny is glaring down at me. I hold up my hands in surrender. "I'm sorry I didn't call. I was busy having the best sex ever."
"What?" she shouts.
We both end up giggling like we used to do in high school. Jenny knew I was waiting for my wedding night to finally do the nasty.
"Was it good? It's not always good the first time," she points out.
We share everything, but it's still embarrassing to divulge any details from last night.
She must understand my hesitation.
"You don't have to tell me everything. Was it good?"
"Mind blowing. It hurt a little. But after that, it was great." I'm still a little shocked at how good it was between us. Jenny had told me her first time was awful. I had those thoughts with me whenever I was with Ted. But last night, just Blake’s touch had me all hot and bothered. There was something entirely different between us that I've never felt with anyone else.
"I snuck out of his place this morning. I didn't know what to say to him."
I feel bad about it, but I'm sure it would have been awkward.
"Bet you're tired. Sleep, and we can do something later."
I must look like a hot mess.
"Shower first," I say, then get up and head toward the bathroom.
Jenny's phone rings. She tells the person on the other end to die before she hangs up. I only need one guess about who was on the other end; well, maybe two. Jenny and Ted never got along.
I turn around and look at her, holding my shoes in my hand. "Was that Ted?"
Her phone buzzes. She has an incoming text. I walk toward her, and she shows it to me. Ted: I know she's there. I'm coming. We need to talk.
I don't want to talk to him yet. Maybe a month from now, I'll be able to talk to him calmly, but not now.
I grab her phone and text him back. This is Lily. I don't want to talk to you. Leave me alone. We are over. I hit Send, hand her phone back, and go to take a shower. I need some sleep, and hopefully, things will look better after I get some rest.
