Chapter 168: Walk Of Shame

Five minutes before her alarm was supposed to go off, Emily woke up.

She would have loved to say that she was awakened by something like the sun in her eyes, or by breath against her cheek. But that would have been a lie. What woke her up, was the call of nature. She needed to pee, and she needed to pee fast. Her bladder felt ready to burst. And so, rather than laying in bed and enjoying the miracle that was being able to sleep without a single nightmare nipping at her heels. Emily had to go and relieve herself. Not only did she have to go, she had to go as soon as possible. Normally, it was an easy thing to pee. She just got out of bed, headed to the bathroom, and then relieved herself. But that morning things were different. For one, Emily was not alone in bed, and the fact that she was sharing with someone was making all of the difference. For it seemed that Derek Haven. CEO, her always aloof boss, was a sleep cuddler.
