I could blame it on the margarita.

I don't know how the hell it happened or How I got here.

I've never done this before

The memories of last night started flooding through my mind.

His half naked body on mine.

sweating ...moaning ...the way he kissed me. No one had ever kissed me like that before.The way he hands worked all the way down my body.

He made me feel like the sexist woman on earth, and that, coupled with the fact that I didn't know his name and would never see him again .....all that alcohol helped too.

I need to leave this place

I thought as I quickly got up from the bed in a clumsy attempt to put on my clothes.

He was sound asleep

I stared back at him “He is quite handsome" I said I stared at his lips thinking of how they covered my body with his wet kisses .I quickly snapped of my thoughts and left the hotel room..

Too bad I'll never see him again.

pounding in my head, hung over daze, I rolled, slipped and fell out of bed, feeling like someone had stuffed cotton wool in my eyes and pushed me down a mountain.

I got up and pulled the now very itchy dress and got the fright of my life when I realized I wasn't wearing any underwear. I left the house with my panties ....right?

I was already running late for work but I couldn't rush to work looking like this.

I grabbed some cotton wool, dunked it in make up remover and attempted to wipe the messed up make up off my face. My red lipstick was smudged and my hair was a twisted mess.

I had no time for this.

I roughly combed my hair and tied it in a messy bun glasses on black pantsuit, white collar t -shirt and a pair of semi high heels. Then one last mirror check before running out.

On my way to grab a handful of headache pills, I passed Eddy and Bruce room, they were aware I had gone out last night. I was about to give their room a knock when I saw the note

   Emmy,

You naughty girl, we know you went out  and you were with a guy last night. we want all the juicy details. Dinner tonight.

xx

E&b

I sighed as I got into my car, my face was red hot at the thought of telling them what happened last night.

My old Toyota had been acting up lately, another thing to add to the growing to buy list along with socks without holes, black pumps with non peeling soles and now some new undies but I just couldn't afford a new car right now - or ever, not between paying loans and depts......and secretly sending money home to my sister.

please start, please start pleaseee pleaseee start

I pleaded.

My job was the most important thing in my life right now

Without it, I wouldn't be able to help cassy and she would be at our mom’s mercy. I couldn't let that happen, I can't afford to let that happen.

I knew what being late meant.and it was my first job out of college. I couldn't afford to lose it.

My car finally started after a few smoky chugs and I threw a few thank yous out to the universe. But as soon as i drove out of my apartment complex and into the highway, traffic smelled in the air.

the static traffic gave me time to think and reflect

Vodka and margarita. lot's-even more

“Is this seat taken”that smooth move and husky voice

The way he danced with me

slowly grinding himself in me,running his hands up my thighs, creepy up way too high for public decency laws, until his hands were.......

“You're so fuckin beautiful” He whispered in my ear.

His hands coming up and cubing my face

“I want you so badly,I need you emmy”

how had he known my name

That was the moment I melted and walked outside with him

fumbling for his car keys, on him as he drove to the hotel, placing small soft kisses on his neck. Entering the hotel room.... undressing each other, on top of me .Naked.

“You're so fuckin sexy”

more words that made me lose my mind

His tattoos, those brown piercing eyes.

Had I really fallen for every lame jackass line in the book?

He probably said that to all the girls he shagged in an hotel room.

Why did I have to let that happen.

I finally arrived at work.

I was expecting to run into the usual chaos at work but something strange was going on today; people were sitting around lazily...... chatting.

It was as if someone had come in the night and tranquilized all my co-workers.

I inched my way to my desk feeling uneasy, was this the call before the storm?

before I had a chance to settle down, Jenna sunk up to me and whispered into my ears

“Have you heard ?” she asked

I half turned to her but she cut me off quickly before I could manage to respond

“They hired a new executive director apparently he's a fuckin rockstar,I think his name is andy or something ...."

At the sound of the name,one of the junior copywriters who happens to be walking pass quickly corrected her

“Ben,isn't it Ben?"she was practically squealing

I looked at each of their glowing faces

Their eyes lit up like firecrackers

"I heard they offered him a huge financial package to come here” Jenna said with wide eyed look.

They simultaneously nodded in agreement declaring that he was worth every cent, even maybe more.

Yes, he was probably worth more,they concluded then they walked off- no doubt to spread more legends of this creative man

In an ad agency, creativity is king.

so when one of this so called creative geniuses come around,It whips everyone into a star struck frenzy.

I was too hang over to be vaguely interested but the rest of the office buzzed like the static on a television.

“He's gonna bring a lot of new accounts not to mention awards" Two senior managers said as they passed.

“I heard he banged all the girls at his old job" two guys said before a manly fist pump.

I sighed and started to roll my eyes but they hurt too much

I opened my email and there it was.

“Meeting in the board room to introduce the new ED”  Executive director

The meeting was in 10 minutes.

I lay my head on the desk and waited for the headache pills to kick in.

I must have drifted off to sleep because I thought I heard someone say “He was raised by wolves”

I opened my eyes but no one was there,I glanced at my watch - crapp

I'm late!

I ran to the board room as fast as I could, when I finally arrived, it was a bit crowded. I could only see the back of him from where I was.I glanced around looking for Jenna. I finally saw her in the front row with the other wide eyed women. I suddenly pushed my way foward trying not to be seen but when I got there, he turned and suddenly I couldn't breathe ......it was him.
