The next morning Lauren was awakened by Sam kissing the back of her neck. At the same time Lauren's phone started to ring.

"No, come here." He reached down on the floor and got a condom out of his jeans. She rolled over to face him. They kissed. The phone stopped ringing.

An hour later Lauren walked Sam to the door in a bathrobe. He looked at her and smirked.

"What?" She asked.

"I'm just glad this happened."

"Me to." They kissed. "Bye."

"Bye."

After she showered Lauren checked her phone and saw she had a missed call from John. She couldn't understand why but she felt guilty. She called him back.

"Hello?" He said.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." "You didn't call me last night."

"I know." "I'm sorry." "I got caught up in celebrating."

"Yeah, I saw you guys won." "I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks."

"I have to go but I'll call you tonight."

"Ok bye."

"Bye." They hung up.

Lauren called Ashley.

"Hello?" Ashley said.

"Hi." Lauren said.

"Hi."

"Ashley, something happened last night." "I had sex with Sam."

"I knew it."

"I feel guilty." "It felt really good."

"I'm sure

"Not just that." "I mean emotionally."

"Well how was that?"

"God, amazing." "I never thought I'd enjoy it with anyone else."

"Why do you feel guilty?"

"Because of John."

"You're not with John anymore."

"I know but I love him." "I also have feelings for Sam."

"I know."

"I don't know what to do."

"I think you should pursue things with Sam." "You know how it goes with John."
