She was lying on my chest with her hair lingering on my skin. She smelled like vanilla. When I moved to get up, she held me tighter. “Please don’t go.” I kissed her forehead. “I’ll see you soon.” “If we are both going to Mega-Shake can’t we just go together? Or can’t we just stay here and talk?” “I have an appointment this morning.” I stood from the bed and started to dress myself. I hated leaving her, but I knew I had to. I had to do this before our meeting today. “An appointment?” she asked. I kissed her on the forehead. “I’ll explain later.” She sighed. “Okay.” “I’ll see you soon.” I left her bedroom then walked down the hall. Ryan and Janice were sitting at the table when I walked by. Ryan raised an eyebrow. “Morning?” “Hey,” I said. I opened the door and walked out. Obviously, Ryan hadn’t heard us last night, thankfully. I left the building and hailed down a cab. Within a few minutes, I arrived at my destination. I walked into the building then approached the apartment.
