Coffee Mess

What's Your Story?

When Logan comes, we set up in the living room and we put on The Ugly Truth, which is my favorite movie. At first, we're sitting next to each other because we're eating- well mostly I am the one eating, and when I'm full, I lay on the sofa with my head on his lap. 

Logan's P.O.V.

For most of the movie, I just think of other things, since rom-com isn't really my thing, but I didn't want to deprive her of her favorite movie. At some point, after she has laid on me, I realize that she's quoting practically the whole movie and I catch myself looking at her. When she starts singing along to a song that plays as background I try not to laugh, but she understands me and looks at me

"Are u mocking me?" she asks with narrow eyes

"I wouldn't dare!" I answer smiling

"Why are u laughing then?"

"U know practically every dialog, u're singing the song, it's amusing!"

"U're bored out of your mind, huh?"

"I was at first, now it gets interesting"

"U're not a great liar..." she says and I chuckle

"So I've been told...but I don't mind, it's interesting enough to keep me awake and I'm assuming it's close to the end?"

"It's closer to the end than to the start, yeah"

"Then I'll be fine! I'm actually curious how they'll finally end up together..."

"How do u know they will?"

"Isn't that always the case?"

"U're right..." she says and returns her attention to the movie

~~~

"Ok, that last scene was gold!" I say when the movie ends and she turns her body to lay on her back, looking up at me

"I know right? It's so funny because he'll actually never know!"

"Oh come on, guys can understand when a woman is faking her orgasms!"

"I know for a fact that they can't!"

"U have faked it?"

"A couple of times, sure! Every woman has!"

"U're 18!"

"So?"

"Aren't u a little too young to have experienced unsuccessful sex?"

"Let me remind u that I had unsuccessful sex 2 days ago..."

"Oh, right, Thomas! How could I forget that, it was the highlight of my month!" I say and she laughs

"But besides him, I have faked it before...with my ex actually!"

"U had a relationship?"

"I did, yeah...for 2 years!"

"Really?"

"Yes! I was a teenager, I was jealous of everyone having someone, so I got myself a boyfriend!" She explains sitting up on the sofa, closing the TV

"And how did it go?"

"Good! We were holding hands, kissing, going for walks..."

"I can't imagine u being in a relationship"

"Yeah, it wasn't ideal. But I had fun! The sex helped!"

"How old were u?"

"I was 15 when I met him and he was my first, so I was 16 when we started having sex..."

"And why did u end it?"

"I got bored"

"Just like that?"

"Yep! Weren't u getting bored easily at 18?"

"I honestly don't remember"

"Oh, come on! I bet u were changing women like shirts in college"

"I wasn't that popular in college..."

"Why?"

"My field of study was considered...lame!"

"What was our field of study?"

"Promise u won't laugh!"

"Now that u said that, I might laugh even if I don't find it funny..."

"Shit, ok...I studied history and my thesis was about the renaissance"

"U're kidding..." she asks with wide eyes

"I wish I was..." I say embarrassed

"No no! U don't understand, I love the renaissance!"

"Ok, u're fucking with me!"

"No! I love that period! Knowing me, my thesis will be about the renaissance too!"

"What do u want to study?" I ask her still not convinced

"Art history!"

"U? Art history?"

"Excuse me?" she asks with a raised eyebrow

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to offend u, but u don't look like a geek!"

"I'm such a geek!"

"Wow! I never thought I'd hear that from u..."

"Yeah, I know I look like a thug who used to bully kids to get their lunch..."

"Kinda!" I say and we laugh

"Well, I wasn't a bully and I wasn't bullied either. Everyone knew better than to mess with me. But I was top of my class and it came as a shock to everyone that I chose to take a gap year before going to college..."

"I'm shocked too, yeah..."

"Well, I wanted to live a little, u know? Work, party, get my mind off books for a while..."

"I understand"

"What about u? How did u end up being a cop? What's your story?"

"Well, while I was studying at college, I did a little modeling to gain money and I liked it for a while after, but then I dropped it and found a job at a high school as a history teacher"

"Oh God, I can imagine the girls dropping dead!"

"That happened, yeah, it was so uncomfortable that I dropped that too and went to an elementary school...things were better there!"

"What? No mothers trying to eat u for dinner?" she asks and I chuckle shyly

"Oh my God, u blushed! U're so cute I could eat u for dinner!"

"Ok stop!" I say looking around uncomfortably

"U're only making it worse for me, boy!" she says stroking my chest and biting her lips

"Ok, let's continue my story!"

"Yeah, sorry, go on!"

"So, one day, as I was walking home from the gym, I witnessed a mugging and without a second thought, I went to help. When he saw me, he started running, I chased him down and held him down while calling the police. When the police came, they took my statement and told me they were looking for him for months, and that me being at the right place at the right time was fate and shit like that, and then they asked me if I had ever considered becoming a cop! I said no and they said think about it, we could use a selfless guy like u"

"And that's when u started thinking about it..."

"Yep! Took the test to get into the police academy a week later!"

"Wow! From a history teacher to a cop, u don't hear that often!"

"I guess not"

"U were so brave to run after the mugger..." she says straddling me 

"If I had a dollar every time a girl got horny after hearing that story, I wouldn't need to work for years..."

"So, u don't want me to get my clothes off?"

"I'll repeat myself, but the day I say no to that, shoot me!" I say and she smiles, leaning in to kiss me
