Aisha woke up the next morning, feeling a bit disoriented. She was in Alex's apartment, and it took her a moment to remember how she got there. The memories came flooding back, and she smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Alex was even more charming in the light of day, and Aisha was excited to see where things went.
As she got dressed, Aisha couldn't help but take a few selfies to post online. She wanted to make sure everyone knew she'd spent the night with the handsome Alex. But as she looked at the pictures, she felt a twinge of emptiness. Was this really what she wanted? To be defined by her relationships and her social media presence?
Alex walked into the room, a sleepy smile on his face. "Morning, beautiful," he said, wrapping his arms around Aisha. She smiled, feeling a flutter in her chest. Maybe this was the real deal. Maybe she'd finally found someone who could see past her facade.
