Capítulo 9: Hopefully Not
Now that she was relaxed in her office, after doing the majority of the paperwork she needed to do, Lucy's thoughts drifted back to the event of the previous night and the mansion she had woken up in that morning. She sat up as she thought about Tom. Who was he? She wished she could remember how he had made love to her, but the only thing she could remember was the foreplay and how he had made her scream and moan loudly. Her face colored in embarrassment when she remembered the man who she had met outside the bedroom door. Had he possibly heard her scream? She hoped not.
She suddenly remembered she hadn't checked her phone since she woke up because of the rush to get to the office on time. She quickly dipped her hand in her handbag and took out her phone. She bit her lower lip when she saw over fifty missed call notifications and about five text message notifications. She had no doubt who the calls and texts were from. Her parents, her twin brother, Lucas, and her best friend Sonia.
Two of the text messages were from her mother asking her to call her immediately after she saw the call. One was from her father threatening to file a missing person report if she failed to contact them before the end of the day. Another was a message from Lucas asking her to call him as soon as she saw his text. Last was from Sonia asking her why she wasn't taking her call, and if she had been kidnapped by a serial killer.
She called her parents first and assured them she was okay and had been too busy unpacking to check her phone, before returning her twin brother's call.
"You got us all worried, where were you?" Lucas asked, sounding very relieved to hear from her.
"I went partying last night and I got drunk... You won't believe I woke up late and arrived at the office over two hours late." Lucy informed her brother whose brow furrowed.
"That was a very risky thing to do knowing you do not have the head for alcohol. What about your boss? Did he query you?" Lucas asked in concern.
"Just a little bit. But I took care of it. How did you celebrate your birthday?" She asked curiously.
"Well, I celebrated it at the hospital. There was an emergency case and being the doctor in charge, I had to be here for most of the day." Lucas explained.
"Don't worry, I had enough fun for two," Lucy said, making Lucas chuckle.
"I'm sure you did. I wish I could have helped you move. What do you think about the city? Are the people over there friendly? What about your apartment? Any nice neighbors?"
"It's still too early to tell. When I have the answer to your questions I'll let you know. For now, I need to hang up so I can return Sonia's call." Lucy explained before hanging up.
She decided to surprise Sonia with her checklist before giving her a call, so she opened her gallery and transferred the photos she had taken the previous evening after dressing up, to Sonia, before picking up her journal and sending a picture of her checklist to Sonia.
She giggled when her phone started ringing almost immediately, "NO WAY! You most certainly did NOT do that!" Sonia said in disbelief when Lucy received her call.
"Yes, I did," Lucy confessed with a giggle.
"Oh my God! Do you mean you honestly got deflowered last night? Oh my God! How was it? What did it feel like? Who is the guy? What does he look like? Let's switch to video call, I want to see your face." Sonia said as she quickly switched the call to FaceTime, while Lucy grinned from ear to ear.
"Why did no one tell me my nipples could be so sensitive?" Lucy asked in an excited whisper making Sonia giggle.
"Details! Give me all the lewd details!" Sonia said and listened as Lucy described all the events of the previous night.
"Oh my God! I feel so embarrassed on your behalf! You mean he caught a glimpse of the checklist?" Sonia asked as she howled with laughter.
"I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me! I've never felt more embarrassed in my entire life!" Lucy declared before continuing with her story.
"Wow! I wish I was there! I can't believe you lost your virginity on your first night in a new city to a stranger! Girl!!! I'm fucking proud of you. Maybe I should come there and find someone for myself, to warm my bed at night!" Sonia said thoughtfully.
"You're just a whore!" Lucy responded with a giggle, and Sonia joined in.
"Wow! I thoroughly hope you meet this handsome stranger again." Sonia said after they settled down.
"It was just a one-night stand. I have no intention of meeting him again or having anything to do with him for that matter. I'm still not interested in men." Lucy said, making Sonia roll her eyes.
"You don't want to experience that pleasure again?" Sonia asked.
"Well, I could get a vibrator," Lucy said with a shrug.
"A vibrator won't suck your nipples or your clit!" Sonia pointed out.
"I'm sure I'd get something that can do the job in a good sex toy shop! All I need to do is find one around here. Enough about me! How's your story coming?" Lucy asked, changing the subject.
"I'm having a sort of writer's block at the moment. I've been trying to write the next chapter but I can't. Of course, my editor keeps calling! He is driving me crazy!" Sonia said through clenched teeth.
"Calm down. I'm sure you'll figure something out. Maybe you should take a break from writing. Go out and have fun. You never can tell, ideas might just start to flow if you go outside." Lucy suggested making Sonia roll her eyes.
"Says the one person who never leaves her bedroom." Sonia countered.
"Well, that's me. I'm an introvert whereas you're an extrovert."
"No, I'm an ambivert. However, that's not the point, whatever. I'll just take your suggestion and step out of the house. I need a break after all. And who knows? I might just find my own Tom." Sonia retorted, bringing about more laughter from Lucy.
"I wish you good luck with that. Got to go now. Let's talk later." Lucy hung up. Was there any chance of her bumping into Tom again? Hopefully not! She thought as she returned her attention to the documents in front of her.
