Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Morning After

Zariah

The moment I open my eyes, I realize something is weird.

Where the h*ll am I?

It all comes flooding back to me, and the only thought that enters my mind is, “Oh, sh*t! Did I really do that?”

Not only did I give my virginity to Micah, but I also spent the night in his bed. I wonder if my parents have noticed I’m not home. They were in bed last night when I left.

I had intended to be back pretty quickly.

Micha’s scent permeates his room, just as one would expect, but I begin to realize that it’s not as strong as it should be….

If he’s still here.

With the sheet wrapped tightly around my body, I roll over to find the bed empty.

No note, no nothing.

I can tell by the faintness of his scent that he’s not even in the house.

Sighing, I pull myself out of bed, ignoring the strange soreness I’m not used to. I should go home and take a shower there, but my parents will smell him on me, and that wouldn’t be cool.
