(Arata)
Menstrual cramps were painful, they were a real bitch. For me, periods always came with immense pain on the first day.
And happening right in front of my boss while having dinner with his family.
Embarrassment coated every inch of my body as I cleaned myself. I had one emergency pad and underwear in my purse but didn't bring spares as I wasn't expecting my period for another four days.
Way to embarrass me, body. I was mortified and didn't know how I was going to face him every time.
On top of that Karsten had to see me in such a vulnerable state. But a smile appeared on my face remembering how he had rushed to help me, concern lining deep on his serious face.
I washed the pretty dress using hand soap, a trick to remove bloodstains and hoped I hadn't completely ruined the magnificent garb.
The pain rippled through me and I knew I had to go lie down.
