When the pizza guy shows up I’m almost too exhausted to get the door. I lay naked on the bathroom floor, my eyes uncontrollably closing.
“Sorry, love. Didn’t mean to drain you like that.” He apologizes and pulls his pants back on so he can get the door.
A moment later he returns with a box of steamy hot pizza. He gets a slice out and shoves it into my mouth. I take the hint and chew it quickly, I’m starving. I grab it from him and stuff the rest of it into my face.
“Hungry are we?” he teases grabbing another slice for me.
“Starving…” I mimic him in a raspy voice.
He laughs and sits down beside me.
“I wasn’t that dramatic.” He argues.
I look at him with a ‘are you joking’ eyebrow raise and he laughs again landing a kiss on my lips.
I look at him with surprise.
“I’m sorry,” he apologizes. “That was out of line.”
I nod slowly and the smile on my face disappears. I’m fine with the casual sex slash sex to save your life thing but I don’t know this man and as much as he may love me I do not love him, I don’t know him. A part of me feels bad. I mean how hard would it be to love someone your whole life and then one day they don’t remember you? It would fricken suck.
“How is Geoff doing?” I ask him sitting up and changing the subject...
“Well…he’s still breathing. Healing, obviously. I think he’s well on his way to recovery. He’s very lucky. Very. He very easily could’ve bled out before we even got there last night.” He tells me.
“Do you think he’ll wake up soon?” I ask him.
“Yes. Hopefully in the next couple hours.”
Damon leaves the room and I finish off my second piece of pizza before jumping in the shower. I make sure that the water is so hot that it burns my skin, if you ask me, there’s no other way to shower. I love the hot water. My shower is cut short by a knock on the door.
I turn the shower off so I don’t have to shout over the running water,
“Hello?” I ask.
“He’s awake,” Damon says.
I quickly jump out and throw on my clothes, wrapping a towel around my wet hair.
When I make it out to the rest of the apartment Geoff is awake and sitting up.
“Well you sure look like a drowned rat, Laytah.” Geoff teases.
I smile and ignore his joke. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
“What the hell happened? I remember having a bunch of fun at the club then I remember waking up bloody in the dark and calling you and then well…I sort of remember you guys uh giving me a shower…” he trails off and then stares at Damon like he’s some sort of freak.
“Dude, I don’t know what drug you gave me last night in the shower but holy man was that ever a trip. Hey, so what the hell was I totally over reacting about
