Escaping the consequences...

I smile as I wake slowly, peacefully. No screaming, no terror, no pain. No nightmares just...I groan, instantly losing my smile as the reality of last night comes back in a flood of memories which make me blush. What was I thinking?! The answer is quite clearly, I wasn't. I've only ever been close enough to a Wizard to do that once before, and that ended badly before we did anything. After that I swore to myself plain and simple, never again. There was no point wasting time and effort getting to know a guy, learning to trust him, only to be stabbed in the back the first opportunity he gets.

So what do I do? Skip getting to know him, learning to trust him, just jump straight into bed. I'm not that sort of witch...at least I didn't think I was.

I don't want a relationship, with any Wizard. Certainly not one I only meet by chance the night before and do...I groan again. I really didn't think I was that kind of Witch. The kind who sleeps with a Wizard on first meeting, and then dumps him before he can smile and say 'Good morning.' I guess I am just like that though...a witch and a bitch.

Damnit, I sigh. Prentending to be asleep isn't going to solve anything. I open my eyes. I'm alone. Where the devil is he? I swing my legs out of bed, my cheeks growing warm remembering what he'd said last night. Love long legs on a witch.

I push the thought out of my mind, pulling on my dressing gown to check around the rest of the flat incase he got lost on his way to the loo or something. He's not here. Relief floods through my mind. The only witness to last night's...events, is gone, and I have no way of tracing him. So it's not my responcibility to trace him. If he wants to continue what we started he has to find me, by which time I will have thought of a good excuse as to why exactly we can't continue...or better yet moved house and chosen a different club to haunt so he can't find me.

I frown, feeling slightly guilty about this. It feels like running away. It is running away, but he ran away first thank Merlin!

This settled in my mind I let myself relax and think about what actually happened last night. I find myself starting to grin. Of course it wasn't how I imagined my first time would be, but when one is sworn against relationships forever that makes it a little impossible. Damn, it was good though. Great even.

I take longer in the shower than normal just enjoying the warmth before getting out and quickly get ready to go to work, still grinning to myself. Strange the path fate leads us down on occasions.
