I lay down next to Michael after wiping his body down, but I couldn’t seem to fall asleep as a bunch of thoughts kept running through my mind. Why does he keep me around if he’s sleeping with other women? Does he enjoy having multiple f*ck buddies or something?

The thoughts refused to leave my head no matter how much I tossed and turned in bed. At some point, I even felt the urge to wake him up and question him about what he did and who he was with earlier that night. However, I held myself back as I knew it wasn’t my place to do so.

I got out of bed very early the next morning as I could barely sleep at all due to the perfume and lipstick.

I knew I couldn’t possibly be the only woman Michael has slept with, but what I didn’t know was when my feelings toward him began to change.

Having taken a shower after sobering up, Michael emerged from the bedroom dressed in a robe and was just in time for breakfast.

“I had a bit too much to drink last night,” he said coldly as he sat down at the table.

“Yeah,” I mumbled coolly in response and carried on eating without saying another word.

I had wanted to ask him all about last night, but I held myself back as I knew it wasn’t my place to do so.

Michael looked up at me and frowned, seemingly displeased with my response.

“That’s it?”

“What else am I supposed to say?” I asked coldly as I stared back at him.

I’ve made up my mind last night… I’m going to keep my distance from Michael so I won’t end up falling in love with him! We are merely f*ck buddies, and our relationship will be limited to what we do in bed.
