A Love Like This

Chapter XII

My hand shielded my eyes as the bright rays of the sun peeked through the window. Groaning I rolled over on my side only to feel that Adrian wasn't in bed. Finally opening my eyes I looked around the room as I sat up, resting my back against the quilted headboard. My once slick, tamed hair was wild, causing me to look like Donnie from the Wild Thornberrys. Pushing back the hair that fell in my eyes I eased out of bed. My body felt sore from last night. Adrian was rougher than usual but believe me, I didn't mind at all. That's one thing I liked about him sexually. He knew how to be gentle yet rough, he took his time. If this is what dickmetized was, then baby I was the spokesperson for the committee.

Grabbing a robe that was provided for us I covered my naked body as I walked over to the full-length mirror in the room. Stepping closer to the mirror I studied myself for a moment before my eyes fell upon multiple passion marks that covered my chest and neck.

"I look like a damn leopard" I chuckled to myself

I didn't realize Adrian had even left any on me. I was too far gone from the liquor and the sex to even care. Breaking my gaze from the mirror I left out of the bedroom. From the hallway I could hear Adrian, Lalo, and Melanie talking amongst themselves. The sweet smell of French toast filled my nose. Melanie knew whenever I had a hangover feed me French toast. For most people, greasy food was the key but not me. I don't know what it was but french toast was my quick fix.

Entering the kitchen I walked over to Melanie, she had her head rested on the island top while Lalo was pouring orange juice for us.

"Vix tell yo friend she was out here wildin' about that fuckin' shoe" Lalo laughed tapping Melanie so she could get the orange juice

"Vixen this nigga better be lying because if I cried kill me now" She groaned lifting her head up

"Let's blame the liquor babe. It was the liquor" I said laughing

Adrian left from by the counter with a food container in his hand. He placed it before me as he kiss the side of my head. Smiling at his actions I took a seat on the stool. Opening the container I bypassed the bacon and went straight to the French toast.

"Mel aint want to believe us. I told her I'll get her some more shoes" Adrian chuckled

"No Adrian, you're not buying them. This tall motherfucker is" Melanie said pointing her finger at Lalo who swatted it away from him "he probably broke it picking me up"

"I told yo ass I aint break that damn heel yo" Lalo replied shaking his head "man just find them online and send me the link" he said walking away scoffing lowly

"I'm about to go smoke with Lo. You good ? You have a hangover ?" Adrian asked rubbing my shoulders

Relaxing from the impromptu massage I nodded my head yes "go do you babe. I'm good" I assured him

As Adrian walked away I nudged Melanie. Once she turned to face me, I looked past her to make sure the patio door was closed. Knowing the coast was clear I tossed my head back chuckling.

"Melanie, that man is going to be the death of me" I whined

"Oh bitch what's tea. Maybe what you're about to tell me will help with this damn hangover" She said sipping her orange juice

"Last night he told me he was going to fuck the shit out of me. He did not lie, I'm so sore" I said pushing away the remaining food "but that's not the tea. I think I want to be more than what we are"

Melanie sprung up in her seat looking at me she smiled with an "I knew it" expression on her face. Rolling my eyes I grabbed one of the cups of orange juice and took a sip of it.
