A Fucking Upgrade - TB Karen

Emptiness (4)

A/N: Hello you'all, I hope you have a nice day and have fun reading :)

Danielle's pov:

I slowly wake up, realizing I haven't slept that peaceful and comfortable in a long time, and feel an emptiness around my waist. Karen's hand isn't there anymore. My hand sleepily gropes around, looking for the women. I can't find a body around me, just a soft blanket and a small plastic bag. I sit up and rub my eyes, the room is not that gloomy in the bright light from the sun. I look at the plastic in my hand and see weird black pills in it. I've never seen some like this before. I sigh and take a closer look at the strange capsules. What kind of pills are these?

I look around and don't notice any life around me. "Karen?" I whisper, hoping that her warm hands, her warm body will immediately wrap around me again and make my heart beat faster. As much as I long for a "yes", I also long for her touch. The contact between our bodies. I already miss it, miss her. I don't even know whether what happened earlier was her desire or just instinct, whether maybe she didn't want it at all and now regrets it.

I see the entrance door suddenly open in the corner of my eye and direct my gaze to it.

"Karen?" I ask again, a little louder. I haven't even thought about my next words. Just feeling her name as person standing there is all that counts right now.

In front of me a gray-clad woman bares herself and stares at me affectionately, but also in amazement. Our eyes merge and I feel my cheeks turning red.

I imagine her pale lips approaching my mouth. I feel her warm breath, which smells smoky, but attracts me even more, against my skin. My heart and my body melt into her touch. Her fingers slide around my waist and bring me closer to her. Then she accompanies me back down to bed and kisses me with passion. My brain switches off and I stumble towards her.

My head full of things to say, but nothing comes out.

Her brown eyes stare deeply into my soul and she raises her eyebrow in confusion. I look down my body and hide the pills behind my back. It shouldn't look like I've rummaged through her things again. A cough penetrates my lips and makes me realize I haven't had my morning cigarette yet. The desire to feel the smoke through my throat and to let the cigarette play between my fingers is getting bigger. I need one. Now. I bite my lower lip and notice that Karen is looking for something in her pocket.

Shortly thereafter, she held out my cellphone, keys and cigarettes to me as if she knew that I was looking for them.

I get closer to her and reach for my stuff, but she holds them tightly in her hand and doesn't let go of them even after a pull. As I lift my head again, I notice that she is looking at my pink plump lips. I smile gently and also notice now, that our fingers are touching. My smile widens and I run my index finger over hers. Her hand loosens and she hands me my things, then she drops her forehead against mine and sends a quick shiver through my body. My blue eyes are on her bright lips and the desire to feel them gets more. Before I near her mouth, her head sinks down to my shoulder and I feel her arms cling tightly around my waist.

"You have to get out of town." She sobs unexpectedly and makes my brow furrow. "Why?" I mumble back and gently run my left hand over her pink hair. Hearing her voice in this tone also wants to make me cry. "Just trust me. Go as fast as you can. Leave this fucking town behind." She whispers seriously and takes a deep breath, that makes her cough.

"I can't leave this city behind. My parents live here." I inform her and lay my head on hers. "And you are here." I add so softly, that I don't even know if Karen heard it. Even though I have only known her for a day, it feels like we've spent years together. I can't just go and leave her here. No one has ever managed to occupy so much space in my heart in such a short time. She is something special.
