Am I supposed to be dead?
I am just lying here, flat on my back with this book pillowed on my stomach, feeling like a tractor has run over me, inside me, between my thighs until I just ache all over. He’s next to me, snoring with his mouth open, drool running down his chin.
I can’t believe I kissed those lips a little while ago. I want to puke.
He isn’t a cute guy, at least not in the daylight when I can finally see his face without the influence of the tequila and the shimmering club lights that make every guy with rock-hard abs and a six-pack doable. I can’t remember the sex, but from the way my body feels, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to stick around for Round 2.
So I’ll leave…as soon as I figure out if I still have legs.

I started keeping track of my one-night stands a while back, just as a hobby at first for myself, to remember the guys that were keepers, and the losers who slink around wanting another chance between the sheets. A little black book seemed to be the solution for moments when the alcohol fogged my mind and the hormones started firing me the wrong messages.
Rosalie found out about it one night when I whipped it out under the table, trying to remember if Kevin was the guy with the amazing tongue, or the dude who just rolled off me and left without waiting to see if I had an orgasm, which was a really asshole thing to pull (even though I might’ve done the same thing to him on another night). It didn’t actually matter, after I reinstated my policy of never having one-night stands twice with the same guy.
It just complicates things. After a while, he gets the wrong idea and starts throwing around those ‘forbidden’ terms like “rings” and “moving in” and “making it permanent”.
I don’t do permanent.
Anyway, Rose thought it was kind of weird. Then again, there isn’t much that I do that my sister actually approves of. Unlike me, she has a guy that she doesn’t want to trade in after a couple of months, a decent job and real boobs.
(My boobs are real. They’re just not something I’m proud of.)
