Chapter 14 | Blame Ovulation

Damn him. And the fact that he looks...hot today just makes it even worse.

There has to be a reason. A reason why you're feeling so different tonight. Why am I feeling so flustered and...wanting him? Ughhh!

Wait...There is one possible reason why you feel different. You take out your phone and go to your period tracker. The app loads and shows where you are in your cycle.

Potential Ovulation Day!

You read the words, and it all makes sense now. "No wonder. I'm ovulating...yeah, I'll just blame it on that..." You mutter to yourself.

A woman walks up to the sink and washes her hands. She glances at you, noticing your demeanor. "You okay, girl?"

You look up from your phone and look at her. You let out a sigh. "Ugh...not really. On a date with a guy...an annoying cocky...bitch. He's doing all these things like calling me beautiful and gorgeous and kissing my hand, holding it, making me flustered. Then I just found out that I'm ovulating, so..."

"Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle, huh? Dealing with a guy who's constantly giving you compliments and making you all flustered... and then finding out you're ovulating on top of that? Girl, you got yourself a mess on your hands..." She says, looking at you sympathetically, understanding how you feel.

"I'm blaming it on ovulation. I wouldn't be like this normally," You say as you put your phone away.

She chuckles softly, nodding in understanding. "Ah, blaming it on the good ol' biological clock, huh? Can't blame you, really. Hormones can mess with your head like crazy. You're probably feeling all kinds of things right now."

You sigh and nod. "What do I do?" You ask, hoping she'll give you some sort of advice.

The woman seems to think for a moment, her hum filling the silence of the restroom. "Well, first off, try to stay focused on why you're on this date to begin with. If this guy is really just a cocky, annoying jerk, then try to remember that and keep your cool. Easier said than done, I know, but you're in charge here, not your hormones," She says, but then grins, a hint of teasing in her tone. "Or, if you're really feeling frisky, why not just give in a little?"

You look at her in horror. "Oh my god...What if I give in and have sex with him?!" You put a hand to your chest as you look at the mirror in horror.

She can't help but chuckle at your panicked words. "Whoa, whoa, slow down there, tiger. Jumping straight to that, are you? Sounds like your hormones are really getting to you," She says and gives you a wink, a playful glint in her eyes. "But you know what they say... when the hormones are calling, sometimes it's hard to resist the call. And, let's be real, if the guy's hot enough, it might not be such a bad idea..."

You close your eyes. "Ugh...he is hot..." You reluctantly admit. "And he's so cocky about it."

The woman giggles at your comment. "Cocky and hot, eh? Sounds like a dangerous combination. No wonder you're torn between wanting to smack him and wanting to jump his bones," She says, giving you a sly smile, leaning against the counter. "But hey, if he's as attractive as you say he is, maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to give in to temptation a little bit..."

"Yeah...wait, no! I must resist!" You shake your head, not wanting to give in to him.

The woman laughs as she sees you trying to convince yourself to resist. "You're really putting up a good fight, aren't you? But let's be real, how long do you really think you can resist when you're ovulating and he's looking all cocky and hot? The hormones are gonna get the best of you, honey."
