Chapter 26


Carla woke at some point in the night with an urgent need to go to the bathroom. She sat up slowly, one hand going to her head. God, it felt as if she’d been hit with a baseball bat. Pushing the blankets aside she stood up, eyes closed, took a few steps and promptly collided with a wall. “What the --?” Carla fell back and landed on her butt. Her head felt as if it were about to split open and, in great pain, she began cursing. She nearly jumped out of her skin in the next second when two strong arms reached down and helped her up. Disoriented and thinking that it was an intruder, Carla began to scream and fight. Her fist connected squarely with Chris’s jaw and, muttering, he wrapped his arms around her in a vice-like hold.

“Stop it, Carla!” he hissed. “It’s me, Chris.”

Chris? It took a few seconds for the name to sink in, and when it did, Carla stood in a dazed stupor staring at him in the dim light of the room. “What are you doing here?” she asked.

“I live here,” Chris answered, his voice rough. His jaw stung, she could really hit. He didn’t release his hold on her and Carla was too stunned to protest.

“Live here?” She looked slowly around. “Oh, my god,” she whispered, horrified. She’d gotten drunk and gone home with -- Chris! Carla noticed then the expanse of hard, bare muscle she was pressed against. “Oh, my god!” she said again, but this time much louder. Chris slowly released her.

“Are you okay?”

Carla, eyes wide open, shook her head from side to side. “No.” She looked around once again. “This is a dream, right? I’m just dreaming and any second now I’m going to wake up and… and…” She stopped, and then turned her gaze back to Chris. “I’ve really gotta pee.”
