2. 18. Lingering

I was really looking forward to our night together. I had missed her so much over the past two weeks. It was like missing a limb and now that I was in her presence, I felt complete.

I watch as she rummages through her bag that's on my bed, for some clothes to probably change in for sleeping.

I can't help but lean against the doorframe of my room, my arms crossed against my chest as a smile graces my lips.

As if noticing my presence, she looks up at me and a smile forms on her lips instantly.

"Hey, can I take a shower in your bathroom? I feel really greasy from today", she cringes at the last sentence.

Making me chuckle in the process.

"Of course, make yourself comfortable. Although, I wanted to take a shower myself right now. How about we take one together?"

I walk towards her slyly but she catches on immediately, stopping me in my tracks with just a lift of her palm up in my direction.

"Not so easily, mister. You're gonna have to do better than that to get into my pants", she tries to hide her smile but fails.

"Who said anything about getting into your pants? Anyway, last time I checked I was already in your pants", I walk again towards her purposefully.

She understands what I'm upto a second later as her eyes widen at my words, trying to glare at me.

I can't help but chuckle.

"Kinda", I add on with a shrug.

She shakes her head at me, blushing and before I can grab her, she's already running into the bathroom and closing the door behind.

Leaving me in a fit of laughter.

By the time I'm done with my shower, I find a very peaceful Justine sleeping on my bed in a fetus position.

Her hair array and a small smile on her face. The even rise and fall of her chest makes me realize she's already asleep.

She really must've been tired from today. Handling a company on top of a child that needs so much attention and then another huge child who actually had to be woken up, AKA me.

The poor thing barely has time for herself. I had other plans for tonight that obviously required her staying awake.

But since she's asleep already I think I'm gonna hold those plans off for tonight and just let her rest. She really needs it.

So, I stay quite as I make my way into the bed beside her, slipping my arms around her and gently pulling her sweet form into my chest with her back to me.

And before I know it, I'm out like I never really slept through the whole day before.

Next morning though, I wake up before Justine. Although, our positions have changed overnight, I realize as I lift my head up from her chest, trying not to disturb her sleeping form.

The clock on my night-stand says it's already 11am and the obvious light streaking through my curtains even suggests so itself.

I hear Justine's deep moan resonating through her chest as I suspect her mind starting to stir awake.

Smiling to myself, I don't waste another minute as I pepper soft, tickling kisses all over her jaw. Sucking and biting her skin playfully.

A gasp escapes her, followed by her soft laughter that fills the room. I feel her body stirring beneath mine, trying to get away from me but I make sure not to let her get away with it.
