Before Keaton could react, the ghost of a woman with blood streaming from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth suddenly lunged out of the screen!
Keaton jumped, instinctively grabbing the phone and flinging it across the room!
The phone hit a picture frame on the wall with a ''bang—''.
The frame shattered, ss flying everywhere!
Keaton''s hair stood on end, and goosebumps erupted all over his skin!
He quickly dove under the covers, hugging the woman in the bed tightly for courage!
He had been terrified of ghosts and spirits since he was a kid.
Winona, either woken by being squeezed too tight or by the noise, mumbled with her eyes closed, "What''s going on?!"
Still scared, Keaton didn''t recognize Winona''s voice. "Shh, your lock screen scared the hell out of me. Let me just hold you for a second."
"Get off! I''m trying to sleep!"
Winona clearly wasn''t fully awake. She pried his hands off and turned over to go back to sleep.
“Come on, let''s cuddle and sleep.”
Keaton tried to pull her back over, but her skin was so smooth and firm that he suddenly started to get ideas.
He nuzzled into the crook of Winona''s shoulder, kissing her.
His hands also began to wander... his intentions crystal clear.
His actions disturbed Winona''s sleep. Annoyed, she rolled over and pped him across the face. "I said I''m trying to sleep, get lost!"
She was so tired her eyelids felt like they were glued together. She struggled to open them for a moment before shutting them tight again. She didn''t even see who was next to her or know what had happenedst night.
"Don''t make me p you again!"
She didn''t realize she already had. After delivering her threat, she fell back into a deep sleep.
Keaton, having received a crisp p, was stunned, shocked, and angry!
You don''t hit someone in the face. That was crossing a line!
But before he could get mad, he got a clear look at Winona''s face!
Keaton''s eyes widened, his breath caught in his throat, and as if he''d seen a ghost, he rolled right off the bed!
That fall woke him uppletely!
The events ofst night came flooding back... they were drinking, then she pounced on him, and then he couldn''t resist and slept with her!
They had gone at it from the first-floor window all the way to the bedroom...
Keaton was freaking out, his eyes wide with terror. He slept with Winona?! Oh my god-
Keaton couldn''t believe it. He scrambled up, turned on the bedsidemp for a better look.
He carefully leaned over Winona and took a long, hard look...
Confirming it really was Winona, he despaired!
How could he sleep with her?
Seriously, how could he sleep with her?!
It''s over, it''s over, it''s over. I''m so screwed!
Completely, totally screwed!
What did I do to deserve this?!
Keaton, facing reality, felt like he could just die!
However much fun he''d hadst night, that''s how much despair he felt now!
Winona was still fast asleep. Not daring to wake her, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.
The floor was littered with used tissues and condom wrappers, a testament to how intensest night''s battle had been!
No wonder she was so exhausted!
Keaton''s heart pounded, his chest felt tight, and his head ached fiercely.
There were cigarettes in the bathroom. He lit one and took a long drag.
This time, he had really screwed up!
It didn''t matter who pounced on whom first; the result was that they had slept together!
Putting aside the pressure from his
parents and Elysia, just thinking
about Winona herself was enough
was enough.
Other girls could be paid off after a night together, but not Winona!
Trying to pay her off would be a disaster!
And now that they had slept together, how could they go back to being friends? How
could they ever have a heart-to-heart again?
Keaton smoked, growing more agitated with each thought, filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen,
he would never have brought her
here to drink, and he certain
wouldn''t have told her to sleep with hot guys to de-stress!
Great. Now, instead of sleeping with someone else, she slept with him!
What now? What the hell was he supposed to do now?
Sneak out before she woke up? No, that was a coward''s move!
And even if he ran, Winona would know it was him when she woke up. It was likemitting a crime; the mistake was bad enough, but trying to cover it up would only make the fallout nuclear.
