Chapter 211: Chocolate Care
Her plan had been simple.
She would walk into Derek’s bathroom. Stand under his shower spray, and enjoy the water pressure for what would probably be the last time. And then from there, she would go back into the bedroom. Gather up the bloody sheets, get them cleaned. Then once that was done, she would pick up her stuff and be on her way.
That had been the general gist of what she had intended on doing. But the moment that Emily had stepped out of the shower, she had realized that there was a huge flaw in her plan.
Whether it was because of the shock of her period suddenly appearing. Or whether she was suffering from a brain fog due to her menstruation, Emily did not know. But what she did know for sure was that she had made a huge error in judgement.
She had made all of those plans with the assumption that after showering she would just slap on a pad and be going on about her business. Handling things like she normally did.
But she had forgotten one very important thing.
She was not at home where she kept a supply of sanitary pads ready for every month. Plus she also did not have her handbag. Which was where she normally placed at least two pads to make sure that she had enough with her should an emergency pop up.
Instead, she had taken just a regular bag and thrown in a change of clothes. There had been no pads in sight because she had not been expecting her period for at least another week. But not only had it come early. It had come at a time when she had been sleeping in bed with Derek. And now she had ruined his sheets and most probably his opinion of her.
So in what counted as being among some of her most embarrassing moments. Rather than heading out, Emily had sat down on the toilet. The self-heating seat only making her feel slightly better. At least her wait was not being carried out while she was freezing her butt off.
A towel around her shoulders, Emily had sat and thought.
Part of her had thought that it was a perfectly reasonable thing to just sit on Derek’s toilet and not move. She would just wait until her period was done and only then would she go out into the outside world. That way she would not have to deal with anything that she did not want to.
