Untitled Story. Part I


 I slipped out of Derrick’s place in the wee hours of an early Monday morning, holding my newly bought Guccis in one hand, and closing the door with the other. High on my toes, I made my way down the corridor outside his apartment as quickly and as quietly as possible. Dressed in yesterday’s Office wear, I mentally prepared myself to do the walk of shame.  I was feeling really dumb from what happened last night but that’s what you get for drinking your sorrows away at a new pub. Especially when you ditched your girlfriends and went out alone to somewhere that’s not in the same postal code.

With my head hanging as low as possible, I cringe as the images of last night that suddenly came back to haunt me. “How wasted was I?” I thought to myself as I got into the elevator, punching the “G” key as the door closed behind me. Every step I took on the painful gravel barefooted, I solemnly regretted what I did. “No more repeats.” I made a promise to myself.

Finally, the walk of shame ended as I quickly jumped into my cream-coloured mini cooper parked a block away from his place, with the hopes that no one knows I spent the night at a complete stranger’s place.  As I routed the fastest way back to my place on my GPS system, the inner Meecan was making a list of reasons why I should go to a AA meeting. I shut her out as I speed my way back home, as the Editor in chief of a Magazine company, I pride myself not to be late for anything. I can’t be late.  

To be continued....
