The sound of the alarm woke her up the next morning, she groggily stood up. The aches she felt as she stretched reminded her of what took place the night before. She winced as she stood up feeling the pain from Antonio onslaught on her pussy yesterday.
"Damn you Antonio", she cussed lowly.
After making breakfast and getting her daughter dressed for school she took her to school and went to work.
Immediately she got into the company she noticed this stares she was getting from her co-workers which made her feel awkward wondering what was happening or as happened to warrant it.
Have I been fired? she wondered her heart pounding cause if she was fired she was scared of what she would do because in the small town only Antonio's company paid well and those who work here is respected in the town too.
She had a lot of thoughts on what her next line of action would be until she got to the office. She met five other ladies that share the same office with them laughing and looking at her as she went to sit on her office chair.
"Do tell Miss Betty how your night went?", a simpering voice which belong only to Theresa Downton ask walking up to her and leaning on the left side of her desk with a smile.
Betty had only looked at her with shock, surprised that the news about her night had circulated even to the company.
"Do you know what I am concerned about", another lady that is called Leila asked as she lean on the right side of her desk.
Prompting how to turn and face her
"I am wondering who the man was?", she had asked. That question had brought her so much relieved that she had exhale deeply.
"Thank God", she thoughts.
She was so glad no one knows it was their boss the only reason they knew something happened was because of the morning after pill she bought last night and she planned never to reveal anything about her knowing him previously or their recent encounter to anyone.
What happened between them was nothing to be proud of .
when they didn't get an answer from her they walked back to the desk and she felt relieved that she had been left alone so she could concentrate on her work.
During the office lunch break, she went for her lunch after ordering what she would eat she took her tray containing her food and went to seat where a colleague of hers who also happens to be a friend Paula was also sitting.
"Hey Betty", she called out to her as she sat down with a smile one of the reason why Betty got close to Paula was her sunny personality. She always had a smile on her face everyday. Paula is a ginger haired lady who always sees the best in everything...
"Hey Paula", she said taking a sip of water.
" how was your night", she sanged to her swirling her spaghetti with fork before proceeding to eat it.
"not you too", she said rolling her eyes feeling fed up from hearing the same stuffs all day not as if she had committed a crime. She was a grown ass woman and her having sex should not be a big deal just that her town is just too small that everybody knows who is who. There had been an improvement though as a lot of outsiders have been to reside in their town due to the company and other businesses Antonio had set up.
" Hey, come on", Paula said she was so damn curious about who the lucky man was.
" No,no,no", she said shaking her head as she took a bite of her meal.
" I am so curious, please tell me the man that was so lucky to have scored you", she asked pleading.
Betty had concentrated on eating and had not said anything. Paula had find it so unbelievably when she first heard that Betty had a one night stand she had thought it was a joke or some other Betty.
This is because the Betty she knew was only focused on two things; her work and her daughter. She was never concerned about dating.
Not that she lack the qualities that men find attractive on the contrary, she was so beautiful that every other women pale when they stand next to her. Even at 28 years of age with an eight years old child, she was everyman wet dream while walking on the street she gets stares, catcalls and whistles. She acts like she wasn't the one getting compliment on her looks, never granted any man an audience and always had an ready made excuse to give when she tell her that they should hang out.
Whenever she broach the subject of her dating, she would always switch it to another topic. She had found her attitude do perplexing that she had one time asked her " if she liked women instead". She had laughed at her before proceeding to show her the picture of her daughter.
"Then why don't you want to date?", She had asked.
" I am not ready yet, when I am I will", she had replied her with a smile.
She guessed now she was ready and she hope the man makes her happy.
"I hope he makes you happy", she voiced out her thought to her and she replied her with a smile.
While her friend thought she had found someone she liked enough to date as she had been hoping all this while she couldn't tell her the truth about what happened that it was sex and nothing more.
If she did tell her what happened last night, it would mean opening up to her about the past events which she don't plan to. She didn't need pity from anyone concerning what had happened to her.
The bed she had made nine years ago, she made by herself and she had been laying on it all this years without regrets because there was really nothing to regret.
