Alice sat up abruptly as her eyes glazed over. Oh, no.
Not now she thought fighting back the panic. Last night had been the most wonderful night
of her life. She met Ben a week ago. They had talked on the phone every day and
last night was their first date. She had
bought a new outfit and wore her favorite boots. She had taken extra time to carefully style
her hair and put on just the right amount of makeup. Ben had complimented her several times and
she couldn’t stop smiling. They had
dined, danced and talked well into the evening.
She had never laughed so much nor felt so comfortable with a man. He was everything she’d ever been looking
for. Handsome, funny, smart, confident
and sweet. It had felt so natural to settle
on his couch for some coffee before heading home. Next thing she knew, she woke up on his couch
with a quilt draped over her. She must
have drank more wine than she realized.
Oh, please don’t come out here, not now she prayed placing her hands on
either side trying to steady herself for the onslaught of images that were
about to come.
