About Last Night

K

“Snow White.”

She murmured something into her pillow, and I grinned.

“Go away.”

“You are grumpy in the morning. Damn.”

She stirred, blinking before bolting upright in the bed and gripping the sheet to her chest. Her face flushed several shades of red as the events of the night before obviously ran through her mind.

I’d woken up face-down on the comforter of my bed, still in my clothes from the last night. Unlike most times I passed out drunk, I vividly remembered the events of the evening.

Dancing with Vivian in the bar… watching the fireworks light up her face on the way back to the hotel…

Her soft moaning as I moved my mouth between her thighs.

Had she not stopped me, I would have woken up with her in my arms. And even given all the other complications we were creating for ourselves (the whole me paying her for sex, blah, blah, blah) I wouldn’t have cared.

My belief in love at first sight was founded on simple logic. If it was possible to hate on first sight, the opposite was also true.

Love was possible.

And, it also fit nicely into the plot of two-hour movies.

I shook my head, unable to believe that I was actually thinking these fucking thoughts. With Vivian, with this girl that came out of nowhere and flashed me a smile that worked like a defibrillator on my heart, my life seemed a little less insane. The ease between us, the teasing laughter, and the pure fun was something I craved, something I hadn’t had in a very long time.

“Keaton, you shouldn’t be… in here.” Her morning voice was raspy and low, and I made plans to hear my name on her lips first thing tomorrow morning, too.

“Oh, shut up. Here, happy birthday.” I handed her a cup of coffee from the Starbucks across the street, and had managed to shove a birthday candle in the small, sipper spout. She laughed as I held my lighter to the wick.

“Wow. Yes. Birthday coffee. Thank you. I love you.”

Her words lingered between us, and she cleared her throat uncomfortably.

I quickly recovered. “You’re welcome. Love you, too, kiddo. Wow, our first ‘I love yous.’ That’s a milestone in our relationship. And it’s a white chocolate mocha. Hope you like it.”

Her lips parted, and her face paled. I laughed, pinching her nose. I loved her nose, that was for sure. Like a button, with tiny dips on either side perfect for pinching.

She rubbed her face, trying not to smile. “You have to stop doing that. You make me feel like a five-year-old.”

I did it again, and she groaned.

“Now, listen,” I shifted on the bed, and she backed away slightly. “I know I came in here last night and put my lips… and my fingers… in and out of where I shouldn’t have, so let’s just get past that and move on today, okay?”

She stared at me, open mouthed.

I helped her take the cup, curling my hand over her fingers and making sure she held the drink firmly before letting her go.
