One night stand. Nicole Karlis writes via Marie Claire about the time she had an awkward one night stand that left her having an awkward encounter with the guy’s roommate. After leaving her favorite denim jacket at her date’s apartment, she had no choice but to break in and try and get it back.
Mystery man. Karlis had been out with friends when she met the mysterious man that would eventually bring her back to his apartment. After a few rounds of drinks, Karlis explains that a man named Cameron approached her and tried to seduce her right then and there.
Curveball. "He had a commanding smile that matched his sleek silver suit. I was surprised that he plucked me out of the crowd: a small blonde with Midwestern roots. We talked about mundane topics like our jobs and where we lived—nothing meaningful. But then he threw a curveball,” writes Karlis, via Marie Claire.
Seductive. Cameron seductively told Karlis that he wanted her to come home with him, where he’d proceed to undress her slowly before tying her up. Intrigued and obviously turned on, Karlis decided to take the bait, and agreed to go home with Cameron.
Attention. "I liked the attention. I liked what I was hearing. I liked pretending to be the type of girl who would go home with a guy, get tied up, and not think twice about it. And that's because a part of me is that girl—but I didn't know how to accept that quite yet. I was never given a manual on how to get through life as a curious, single woman with a healthy sex drive,” writes Karlis.
Promise. Moments later, Karlis found herself back at Cameron’s apartment. Because he’d already been pretty clear about his intentions, the pair got straight to the point. They immediately headed into his room, where Karlis asked him when he was going to fulfill his promise of tying her up.
Shoelace. "He leaned over to his bedside dresser and pulled out a long, white shoelace. 'This is all I have.’ I froze in a state of confusion. A shoelace? Really? I thought I was going to at least be teased with handcuffs, or a sexy silk tie. His confidence at the bar led me to believe he was an experienced, kinky kind of guy,” writes Karlis.
Turned off. Karlis couldn’t hide her disappointment, and was immediately turned off by the unsexiness of the shoelace. When Cameron went into the bathroom, she saw her opportunity to head out of the apartment unnoticed.
Dashed. "Suddenly and inexplicably, he scurried to the bathroom. That's when I grabbed my things and dashed for the door without saying goodbye…leaving my jean jacket behind,” writes Karlis.
Plan. The next day, Karlis shared her woes with her co workers. She wanted to get her denim jacket back, but knew nothing about the guy who she’d nearly slept with. All she knew was that she wanted her jacket back. So she hatched a plan to show up at his apartment to try and get it back.
Game. "I knocked on the door, but nobody answered, so I knocked again. I should have left, but instead I coyly played with the doorknob. The door swung open. Actually, literally, just...swung open. 'Hello…?' I uttered as I stepped inside. I knew I was playing a dangerous game by being there, but I also loved the adrenaline rush. Twice in 24 hours I felt like I was somebody else, playing a role,” writes Karlis.
Caught. After realizing no one was home, Karlis entered the home, and for ten minutes searched the place looking for her jacker, but with no luck. Finally, she decided to give up and head home. However, she froze in her footsteps when Cameron’s roommate came home and caught her redhanded.

Intruder. "Clearly, he had no idea who I was, but he also didn't think I was an intruder trying to rob his house. 'Is Cameron here?' he asked. I said no, took a deep breath, and delivered the ludicrous explanation for my visit: 'So, I actually came home with Cameron last night. I left my jacket here, but didn't have his number, so I thought I'd stop by and get it’,” writes Karlis.
No luck. After helping her search for the jacket, both the roommate and Karlis gave up. However, she was able to leave behind her number in the hopes that her one night stand might eventually call her to say he had her jacket.
Bolder. "I gave him my number to pass on to Cameron; he said he'd tell him I swung by. I never did get that jacket back. But I got a little bolder, which might be what I needed more,” writes Karlis, via Marie Claire.
