 Chapter 38 

 Mason

 The sheet smelled the same, and the mattress felt familiar. But something felt off. The room was dark

 closed my eyes. Why was I holding on to someone?

 That wasn’t the only thing that fell off I was naked. The realization of this made me push myself up at once,

 I looked under the duvet

 My eyes widened.

 What happened? My head and body felt weak. I couldn’t recall anything from the previous night

 I don’t sleep naked.

 I looked to the side and saw her. Julia.

 She was naked, too, her white body under the blue duvet

 I groaned and shook my head, repeating the words, no, no on my head.

 This can’t be happening. There’s no way we had sex. I sat straight, watching as her chest rose and fell

 I ced my hand on my head as pain shot through. I felt my head splitting in twá,

 Memories of the night rushed in. She gave me the juice, and after a while, we began making out intensely.

 I can’t remember walking to the room. But it was obvious we had sex here, too.

 “Shit!”

 We’ve been dating for almost four years. Of course, we’ve had sex, but it was never unprotected.

 Julia wasn’t on birth control, and I knew that I don’t think I pulled dut. I passed my hand over my hair.

 What if she gets pregnant? That was my worry.

 I stepped down from the bed and walked into the bathroom by my side.

 way that’s going to happen. There should be some pills for after–sex protection.” I reasoned.

 “There’s no way

 Water sshed on my skin, trickling down.

 Maybe I should have allowed her to leave when she wanted to. I shouldn’t have stopped her. Now what?

 After bathing, I walked back to the room. The closet was by the side.

 She was still asleep. The table clock read 5:30a.m.; it was still morning.

 I felt anger course through me as I put on my shirt.

 She could have prevented this. She isn’t a child, if I couldn’t control myself, then she should have stopped me.

 I quickly pushed that thought out of my head. I had none to me but myself.

 Stepping into the ronn, I walked to the side and Expped on her legs, “Jullia, wake up,“hod.

 She burned, rolling on the bed.

 “Julia, it’s morning. I need to leave my voice was sharp, and this time, it proved affection

 “my

 “Hey!” Her words slurred.

 “Good morning” She greeted me. She looked around. “It’s still dark” “I need to go, dress up. I said

 “You may need to shower, I’ll be waiting downstairs,” I said and stepped out of the room.

 I ran my hand through my hair as I walked down the hallway.

 she slowly stood up, rubbing

 At the end of the hallway, there w

 was a room. I stood in front of it, staring at the door, which had not been opened for the past five years

 Resuming my walk, I got to the sitting room,

 Julia was down in ten minutes

 “We should have breakfast; I can make something for us to eat.” She said.

 1 gritted my teeth, biting back the words that threatened to spill from my lips.

 “No need,” I said tly and stood. She was quiet as she walked behind me. I kept sighing.

 le got to the underground parking lot in no time. I sat behind the steering wheel.

 We

 “This feels so natural–a glimpse of how our life would be soon. Imagine waking up together every morning. I can only imagine that,” She spoke with

 excitement.

 Tignited the car and started driving.

 “We should do this often. What do you think? scoffed. Was she seriously asking that?

 “I don’t know,” I said inly. She seemed to have noticed myck of interest in the conversation, so she stopped talking.

 We stopped in front of a red light. “Are you mad at me?” She asked. I pressed my lips together.

 “No,” I said in a low voice.

 She reached for my ?

 y hand on myp, and I quickly removed it and ced it on the steering wheel.

 “You are mad,” I looked out of the window. Why can’t she just get the message? I don’t want to talk about this right now, it shouldn’t be so hard to

 understand. 

 “I’m sorry if i did anything wrong”

 “You should have stopped us.” I blurted out, the car behind me honked, and I started driving. I hadn’t noticed that the red light was now green 

 “Huh.” From the corner of my eyes, I could see that her eyes were fixed on me.

 “What do you mean?”

 I mean, you could have stopped in from having improtected sex

 “That shouldn’t matter. We’ve been together for years.”

 I was surprised at her words. People don’t use protection mainly because they just

 “You don’t get it. You’ve not on birth control, and lost control yesterday I can’t even remember what happened and how it happened or mything

 I don’t think it’s necessary to hold anything in. If we are going to be together, then the needs to be what puts me off

 I woke up this morning naked, and you were beside me how do you think that makes me feet? I turned sharply, changingnes

 “I don’t get it, are you angry

 (we didn’t use protection or the fact that we had sex? Make it clear.”

 I was angry that we had sex. I only have sex with her to make her happy. It’s not really something Lenjoy

 I can’t really pinpoint why this particr one made me so mad, but it just doesn’t feel right.

 “And how’s it my fault that you don’t remember?” Her voice broke at the end.

 She was doing it again. Crying

 “I didn’t say you are at fault.” I pulled over by the side of the road. I felt like punching something

 “Then what do you mean?”

 I didn’t say anything for a while. I looked ahead of me. She whimpered as she cried, trying to hush her sobs.

 The day has slowly shifted. From darkness to light. Headlights had been turned off as the morning sun smiled on the earth.

 Tinhaled sharply, trying to calm myself

 I reached over to her.

 “I’m sorry I yelled at you.” I apologue.

 “It’s just,” I couldn’t find the right words. “I’m sorry if my words hurt you. I’m scared of the result that unprotected sex brings.” Plus, I don’t really think! want children right now, from you. I wanted to add that part.

 I gave her a handkerchief to wipe her face.

 “I think there are after pills that can be taken, right?” I asked, and she nodded.

 “I can take you to the closest hospital. I said, “A pharmacy would do”

 I modded

 I tried to make small talk. She easily warmed back to me. “You don’t have to wait, I’ll find my way myself, I don’t want you to bete, she said when t dropped her off

 I didn’t question

 her words..

 I made a mental note to remind her not to go to the penthouse anymore.

 My phone beeped as I drove into the highway–a message from Daniel.

 I was greeted by the smell of antiseptic when I stepped into the hospital scrunch my nose.

 Amemory of Lydia and in the hospital came to mind,

 She would always sayloverreacted.

 Hospitals don’t smell bad, they just smell like hospitals. She would always say

 Maybe she meant the smell of sickness and deaths, but I could smell the antiseptic from miles away.

 I was speaking to the receptionist when I felt a small hand tug on my trousers.

 I looked down to see a boy with blonde hair. “Hey, sit” He said in a calm voice.
