knew Valerie wouldn’t be in his bed to help
alleviate this problem because he’d heard her make a speedy exit when she
thought he was asleep. Little did she know that he was a light sleeper or the
fact that he never allowed strange women to share his bed after their brief
rendezvous. She’d seen herself out saving him from the asshole routine he took
on once the deed was done. He could admit that he was miffed by the fact that
she left before he was completely wrung out, which is why he had a heavy
erection this morning instead of the usual vigour he felt the following day after
a long night of wrestling in the sack. He couldn’t ponder the events of a night
that was over, he didn’t even have her number - not that he cared to ask. He
was satisfied that he’d gotten a good lay and would find another later if he
still felt the urge to do so after he’d concluded his business dealings.
Getting up he headed to the shower to get cleaned up and prepare for a meeting
that would have him out of the country in the next couple of days.
Valerie
woke up feeling hung over and sore. She blinked her eyes into focus and
recalled the events of the previous night. That was good, a very good night
indeed. Would she do it again? She had to think on that one. Yes- Vlad was
absolutely amazing in bed but no; she did not want to turn into a nymphomaniac,
using sex with strange guys as a new found coping mechanism for her new found
loneliness. She climbed out of bed and headed to the shower to start the day.
She had to get herself ready for the new semester which was starting on Monday.
The
decision to go back to school and finish off her degree had been on her mind
for the last year but after she started seeing Rehan and they became a couple
she put those thoughts on the back burner. Subconsciously she knew it was
because she had grown so attached to him and was already busy with work that if
she took on studying as well she would hardly have time for their relationship.
She could not believe she had become one of those pathetic women who put their
faith and life on hold for an unworthy man. It was a catch 22, if she could
turn back the hands of time she would warn her past self against placing all
her chips on said man but then again she wouldn’t learn this very valuable life
lesson that had helped her become a stronger woman. A woman intent on building
her life the way she wanted it without any man acting as a safety net.
As
she got out of the bathroom she heard her phone ringing but before she could
answer the call the ringing stopped. She had 5 missed calls. All from her
girlfriends she hadn’t seen over the past few years. She decided to give
Natasha a call first seeing that she was the last missed call on her log.
“Hi
Natasha, I was in the shower when I missed all of the girls calls. What’s up?”
“Hey
Val, the ladies and I are planning on going out to SOCO for ladies night
tonight. Please come, we haven’t hung out in forever and we miss you!” Natasha
said excitedly.
“Awww
I miss you guys too, I was actually going to organise Sunday dinner for
tomorrow before the new semester kicks off” Val replied.
“We
can do that as well but tonight it’s about letting our hair down before we
buckle down. I gotta go, will pick you up at 8!” Natasha hurried out before
hanging up.
“Yeah
sure” Val replied sarcastically to the silent phone knowing that no one was on
the other end of the line. She was going to back out of this outing especially
after the wild night she’d had yesterday or rather this morning. Even though
girl’s night was a cluster of fun filled with laughter and gossip among the
girls, as the night wore on she knew they would be trolling for men and she was
in no mood to socialise with the opposite sex. She mentally made a pact with
herself to have fun tonight and just enjoy being young, single and in college
again. She was taking a break from guys indefinitely as far as she was
concerned. She got
