I opened my eyes and looked up at a ceiling that I didn’t recognize. It was hovering very close to me and I thought I had to be drunk, why would the ceiling be so close? I sat up slowly hoping not to interrupt the snores next to me. I looked around and found nothing familiar about the room, about the pale legs the stuck out from beneath the sheets or about the arm that disappeared over the edge of the bed. I gathered my clothes tucking them under my arm and made a mad dash for the bathroom praying to God my bare ass hadn’t been seen. I softly closed the door and dropped my clothes on the floor. My legs buckled beside the porcelain bowl then I hacked my night’s sins into the bottom. I washed my mouth out in the rusting sink. This was hell. This was where you go when you lust without remorse. You end up in the bathroom trapped by the snore in the other room and the bathroom window that is not wide enough to fit womanly hips. I quickly got dressed making sure to hold off putting on my shoes. I slowly opened the door and began to do the Pink Panther sneak out of the room. Something made me look back to find that the snoring ruckus was no longer there. The bed was empty. Hell just got hotter. I would have to face my forgotten night romp. I tried squeezing a name out of my brain. A name would help. Oh God… Oh God… I’m pretty sure that is not his name. I opened the door and found the living room empty as well. I quickly made my way to the door and saw a note tacked to it. Sweets, There is coffee in the kitchen and croissants on the counter. I’m in the den if you want to say hi instead of sneaking out. Calling me Sweets made me think that he most likely didn’t remember my name either. Coffee and croissants in the den or should I hit the Starbucks that is two blocks away from my home?
