Chapter 2 – One Night Love Affair

4 Months Later

Carol walked into the bar with some of her college classmates. She normally didn't go out, but her work was on Christmas break, and it was her birthday. Her friends wanted to get her out and stop studying to celebrate her 21st birthday. After talking, drinking, and gossiping for a while, Carol decided to get herself another drink.

She made her way up to the bar and had to cling to the stool so she wouldn't fall down. "Oh God, I'm completely drunk!" Carol burst out into a fit of giggles.

"I hate to say this, but you look too young." A man came behind her and helped her sit on the stool.

"Thanks, but I just turned 21, so I can!" She pointed at him.

The man laughed and shook his head. "There are 3 things I already know about you."

"Oh yeah?" Carol looked at him, resting her head against her hand. "What?"

"1: you're a college student, since that group of girls over there keep laughing and pointing at you. 2: you're single. And 3: you're not American."

"My accent's that noticeable?" They both laughed when she said it.

Carol stared at the man for a while, as a comfortable silence fell over them. He was very good-looking; tall, dark hair, and piercing blue eyes. "So, what bring you here?" She asked.

He took another drink from his glass. "A very stressful job. I'm a doctor."

Carol's mouth dropped. "You look too young!"

He laughed. "I'll let you know that I'm 30 and I'm almost done with my internship."

"Like a doctor in training?" She asked amazed.

He nodded. "And my resident is an ass!"

Carol laughed again. "Maybe we should introduce ourselves properly." She held out her hand and he took it. "Hi. I'm Carol."

He took her hand and kissed it. "Nice to meet you Carol. I'm Christian."


Without even thinking clearly, Carol walked into the hotel room while Christian shut the door. He came back to her and kissed her passionately. She didn't fully know how it all started, but instead of going home with her friends, she left with Chris, a man she hardly knew.

Her arms moved around his neck, as their kiss deepened. But before anything happened, Chris backed away.

"Maybe we shouldn't do this." He turned towards the wall to where she couldn't see his face.

Carol didn't understand what was going on. She moved behind him, placing her arms around his waist. "Why not?" She asked playfully.

She felt his hands go on top of hers, and then Chris turned around wanting to speak.

However, Carol silenced him with another kiss and started unbuttoning his shirt. He picked her up and laid her on top of the bed. She pulled him closer, wanting this stranger more than anyone before.
