11: Afternoon-dream

I felt my body become snatched out of the fetal position it was in, engulfing me into a warm embrace as Ruby's arms wrapped themselves around me. I was being held like a teddy bear. That one swift movement alone woke me up, though I rested still for a second or two, not knowing if a slight movement would awaken him like it did to me.
Eventually I ended up shoving myself up to him, slipping one of my legs around his then tightening it, while wrapping my other one underneath the same leg. Any access space that was there before was now gone by how close we were to each other. I was surprised to find myself slipping back into a dream state, then I was out cold once again.
I couldn't help but dream about one of his hands slowly removing itself from under me, trailing it's way across my stomach lightly, shooting tingles through my body. Wishing it would rub along my torso then waist, making its way back up to my collar bones as a tease. Maybe even for it to make its way back down, grasing my chest, all the way to my thighs, just to be placed right in between with a tight squeeze.
I could've imagined forever of the things I wanted, though I was interrupted as I felt an arm unlock from around me. I felt him slowly trying to move, not to wake me, but I did anyway.
"goodmorning," I softly said, still facing the wall, in the same position as the little spoon.
I felt him stop for a second, "good afternoon," he said in a slightly croaky voice.
"afternoon?" I questioned.
"yuup," he answered.
"How late did we stay up?" another question slipping through my mouth.
"Not late 'nough... still bright out," he said, "and you never told me wuchu thought about the music."
A little laugh slipped from my mouth as I turned around towards him, trying to somewhat tame my hair, "I thought it was fucking amazing," I answered.
"suck up," He said, rolling his eyes and leaving the bed completely.
I jolted up, "suck up?? no dude, you know i'd tell you if it was ass, and you know i'm not the best complimenter," I argued.
"Yeah yeah, someone needs to teach you some manners huh," he taunted walking towards his closet. I launched one of his pillows at him, "Oh forreal?" he said, making his way quickly back to the bed.
I scooted myself to the corner where the bed meets the walls, moving my legs up to tuck them in, but he snatched one, pulling me to the edge of the bed. I flew towards him, not being able to gain control of my body as he grabbed me by my waist, somewhat tickling me. Giggles flew out of my mouth as he snatched me up off the bed, holding me above his waist.
"You're gonna drop me!" I shouted, wrapping my legs tightly around his waist and my arms around his neck. I buried my head into his chest, nervous he would accidentally let go
His arms wrapped around my waist as he stood there, after a couple seconds I realized it was a hug and we wasn't going to absolutely torture me. He squeezed me a little as I squeezed back, feeling sensations shoot through my body. I moved my head back to meet his eyes.
"Glad to have ya back.... bitch," He said, tossing me back onto the bed. I sat up pouting as a smile gleamed across his face.
"When you want me to take you home?" He asked me as he scrolled through his phone.
"Damn, already tryna get rid of me?" I poked.
"I mean fuck, you can stay, we don't mind, i jus don't want you to feel trapped here or anythin," He instantly reassured. I found it cute.
"Well I gotta get my car from the restaurant, ugh i don't feel like leaving tho," I said plopping back into the bed.
Ruby stood back taking a second to brainstorm, then proclaimed his plan, "I'll take you to get yuh car before someone takes it, you can travel ya ass back home, get ya essentials, and then bring your ass back here."
"sounds good to me," I said with a shrug.
"c'mon then girl," He said gravely, making his way towards the hall. I got up and followed him to the door.
"let me change real quick," I stayed in a smoky voice.
Ruby instantly turned around, "don't mind if I d-," He began to charmingly say before the door being shut in his face caught him off guard.
I chuckled a little, throwing off his clothes back onto his bed, and slipping back into the tight and uncomfortable dress. I grabbed my heels and made my way out the room, walking down the hall back into the living room.
"Wanna water or sum for the road?" Ruby asked, as I shifted my view to see him standing by the fridge.
"Yea i'll take a water please," I said, holding my hands out for him to toss it.
We made our way out the door, back to the restaurant for me to pick up my car.
"Ima go to the store real quick, you can go back to the house wheneva, i should be back before you get there though," Ruby informed me as he pulled up on the side of my car.
"mmm.. we'll make sure I take my time," I said slowly, my voice very silvery, with a smile, exiting the car and entering mine.
The smell of the air freshener hit me the minute the AC began to run in the car. I made my way to my home, walking at a face paste towards my door, unlocking it. I headed straight for my room, grabbing my bag big enough to stuff a couple pairs of clothes and makeup in. I threw my charger in there along with my wallet, some perfume, deodorant, tooth brush, and toothpaste. I ripped off the dress and changed into a new pair of underwear and a sports bra, along with some comfort shorts and a T-shirt. I put on some socks and slipped into a pair of Nikes, throwing the dress into the laundry hamper and making my way out the door back to my car.
I drove to town stopping at a gas station to fill up my car. I went inside the store to get an energy drink along with four black-and-milds.
"$7.65," The man at the counter rang up.
I slipped him a ten as he threw the receipt and the extra cash in the bag. I grabbed it off the counter making my way back to the car, seeing it was done pumping.
I hopped back into my car, driving off to the 7th ward.. well that's not something i specifically thought i'd ever say.
