Cold Showers — Chapter 9

Sebastian Miller heaved a tired sigh as he slammed the document he was going through on the table. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t concentrate on anything. All he could think of was Jayda; the passionate night they had together, how he acted like a jerk to her the next morning, the tears in her eyes when he hurled hurtful words at her.

The more he remembered her with tears in her eyes, knowing he was the reason for her sadness, the more he hated himself and regretted not going into the bathroom and apologizing to her.

Since that night, no second has passed without Sebastian thinking about Jayda. She was all he could see in his dreams and it was making him crazy.

He did his best to forget her by calling an ex-fling to meet him at a hotel but for some unknown reason, he couldn’t go through fucking her. He stopped halfway after a little bit of smooching because he realized he wanted something more. He didn't feel the heat, the passion, the burning desire that he had with Jayda.

Obviously, Jayda has destroyed him for other women.

Sebastian was brought out of his thoughts when his intercom buzzed and he was informed that his best friend, Caleb was here to see him.

Caleb came in and was surprised by what he saw.

“You seriously look like Shit. Haven’t you been sleeping well?" Caleb asked as he sat opposite Sebastian.

“You thought I was joking when I said I don’t understand what’s going on with me anymore,” Sebastian mumbled before burying his face in his hands.

Caleb chuckled, “Karma is already dealing with you.”

“It’s not funny, Caleb. I literally can’t do anything without thinking about her. This is so unusual and strange. I’m never this clingy about any woman I have an affair with.”

Caleb gave his best friend a closer look and saw a small bump at the right side of his forehead. “She did that?” Caleb asked, trying to hold back his laughter.

Sebastian ignored. He poured himself a half glass of Ciroc, then gulped it down immediately.

He paid a visit to the hospital on his way from the hotel on Saturday morning. Fortunately, he saw his family Doctor, Dr Ellie, who examined his bump.

Going to the hospital that morning was the last thing on Sebastian’s mind. But he went there eventually because he had a very serious headache on the right side of his head and as someone who was very particular about his looks, he wanted some cure for the little bump.

Doctor Ellie gave him painkillers. She also prescribed a creme for the bump. Sebastian religiously applied the creme but the devilish bump just wouldn’t disappear immediately. Left to him, it was as if the bump was getting bigger day by day.

Sebastian’s fear was for the bump becoming a scar. He didn’t want something that would disfigure his handsome face.
