Mila’s P.O.V
I was glad to be home, it had been a hellish night…that man was a f*****g creep, I think I need to tell my boss not to send me to him again, he is getting to attached. I think he is getting confused with reality and fantasy, worked that out when he tried to kiss me when we were alone, calling me darling, sweetheart ect…the sort of things you would call someone you were with. I think the lines are becoming blurred. I hated nights like that but I had to smile and get on with it, never had another choice really. I needed another shower after that. I stripped down, climbing into a shower and giving myself a good scrub. I honestly don’t know how the girls do it, the ones that have the s*x. I would hate myself every night but I understood why they done it. I pulled on some joggers and a hoodie once I was done, needing to relax with a cup of lemon tea before going to bed.
As I waited for the kettle to boil I went into the drawer where I put Jamie’s number, deciding if I should contact him or not? Maybe it would make me feel better or maybe it would make me feel worse. I sighed staring at it, trying to work out what was for the best. Surely we could text right? That couldn’t do any harm? Then again would that look like I was leading him on? Ahhh! I am so confused. I really wanted to talk to him again but at the same time the thought of it made me nervous. The kettle started whistling, pulling me out of my thoughts and I rushed to it before it started screaming at me. I made myself a lemon tea, grabbing the card with his number and heading through to my bed, enjoying the calm and the silence. I opened a blank text, staring at it for a good ten minutes. Maybe it was too late to text him? It was after midnight. I typed his number into and then started writing a text
Mila: Hey, it is Mila…thank you for the flowers, they were beautiful
I should at least thank him for them right? I don’t want him thinking I am rude. After about ten minutes I decided not too sent it, going to hit the back button but instead I ended up hitting send…shit! No going back now. You would think in this day and age there would be away to stop it sending it, delete the message before the other person received it, would make life way easier for everyone I think. Hopefully he was sleeping and wouldn’t get it until the morning, least I wouldn’t need to worry about it tonight. I sat my phone aside, settling down with tea, ready for sleep. Once I was done I sat the cup aside and sighed in relief, he is hopefully sleeping, either that or he has changed his mind about me.
I switched the light off, getting myself comfortable and just as I was about to doze off my phone beeped. I really hope that isn’t him but I had a feeling it was. I grabbed it, seeing his name on the screen…oh s**t!
Jamie: Hey you are welcome. I never thought I would hear from you x
Mila: I know, you nearly never but I wanted to say thank you. X
Jamie: You are welcome. How are you? How was your night? X
Mila: Not very good to be honest, had a terrible night…you? X
Jamie: Why what happened? Are you OK? X
I smiled a little, appreciating his concern but I knew I had to make it clear that just because we are texting it doesn’t change anything, we still can’t spent any time together.
Mila: Just the client I was with, he was a bit of a creep…lines blurred for him what is real and what isn’t but I am OK. Jamie I need to make one thing clear though yes we are texting but that doesn’t change anything, what I said to you still stands…sorry x
I felt bad for saying that but it needed to be made clear before he got the wrong idea. I don’t want him thinking I am leading him on, that is the last thing I want.
Jamie: He never hurt you did you? And I know Mila but we can at least text and talk on the phone can’t we? X
I guess that would be OK but the only thing about that is will we be able to stick to just doing that? We both know there is something there between us, no one can deny that.
Mila: No he never hurt me but I will need to make sure I don’t get him again. I am sure that would be OK texting and phoning X
Jamie: As long as you are OK. That is better than nothing X
Mila: I know, if we met a different way things would be different X
Jamie: I know…I understand it, wish it never had to be that way though *sad face* X
Mila: Me too but it has to be. What are you doing anyway? X
Jamie: Just lying in bed, thinking about you to be honest. You have been on my mind all day X
I sighed to myself when I read it. I have been the same, he has been on my mind all day too.
Mila: I have been the same, maybe that kiss wasn’t such a good idea lol, no matter how amazing it was X
I was trying to lighten the mood a little
Jamie: Probably not lol but it was worth it though X
Mila: Yes it was X
Jamie and I text back and forth for a good half an hour before sleep was beginning to take over me
Mila: I need to go to sleep now, can barely came my eyes open lol. Goodnight X
Jamie: Text me tomorrow? X
Mila: I can do. Goodnight sweet dreams Xx
Jamie: Looking forward to it. Goodnight beautiful X
I was smiling now, feeling better after texting back and forth with him. I sat my phone aside, making myself comfortable again. I still was not sure if this was such a great idea, talking to him because what if it leads to more? I was not sure if we could just talk, it was spending all that time talking that got us to where we were now, and it was talking too much that started this connection between us. This was something for me to think about tomorrow, right now only thing I need is sleep. At least he turned my bad night good.
