I wake up and sit at the edge of my bed. My stomach grumbles and I'm fucking hungry. I run my fingers through my hair (bad habit) and pick up my phone from my nightstand which is next to a glass of water. I faintly remember what happened yesterday night
Erica...
Lapdance...
Kiss...
Me being super horny...
The thought of me trying to get Erica in bed with me makes me cringe. Hope she isn't angry though.
I check my notifications and see twenty plus voicemails from Lucas. I play the first "Noah where are you, you were supposed to help me clean up"
Then the second "soomeone told me you left with Erica already"
I walk over to the bathroom and brush while the third one plays "why did you leave me like this, all for some chick"Is he crying?
He was most likely still high when he sent the voicemails. I don't bother playing the rest cause I've already gotten the message: a high Lucas was angry I left him to clean up on his own. I make a mental note to stop by his place and help him before school starts
Wait...
I check the time and see it's 12:34 pm. Already missed three classes, I might as well not go to school. I put on a pair of sweatpants and go downstairs. I hear some noise in the kitchen and walk over to the sound and smell of fried eggs. I see Erica by the counter in an apron. She makes aprons look so sexy.
"Morning" she says
"Morning."
"Do you normally wake up by this time?"
"When I was high the night before then yeah" I respond and we both laugh.
"About yesterday.." I begin and nervously scratch the back of my head.
"Sorry if I tried to make you do what you didn't want to. That was disgusting of me. Or at least that's how I remember it?"
"It's okay. And who said it was something I didn't want to do" she says with a smirk.
"I'm done with breakfast"
"Thanks. I'm so hungry" we both sit at the dining and start eating.
"Did you drink yesterday?"
"No. I don't drink and if I did we won't be having breakfast by now and who would have taken care of you yesterday."
"True. Thanks again"
"I noticed you don't have coffee in your kitchen"
"Ya, I don't drink coffee"
"But you do weed?" She laughs
"Hey don't judge me"
"I won't" she puts both her hands in the air to surrender.
I finish the food on my plate and I'm still hungry "can you make more?"
"More? How much breakfast do you eat?"
"I'm really hungry" after a short while I'm done with my second plate and we are both on the couch."So...what now?" She asks. We are meant to be at the college premises but I really don't want to go.
"We've basically missed three quarters of our lectures today so let's just have fun"
"I've never skipped lectures before"
"That's sad" I comment and laugh but she doesn't laugh with me.
"I have an idea" she suggests
"What's that"
"We can go to the lake and just chill"
"Oh, my house is too boring for you"
"I thought this part of you went away with the high" we both laugh
"I need to shower first"
"Me too. I'll just go home and meet you there?"
"No" I'm quick to reply, not wanting her to leave. "I have a spare toothbrush and spare towel. A shirt, and a pair of boxers that'll look like nice shorts when you wear them"
"Is it cause I'm short?"
"You said it not me" I say and jog upstairs I stop midway and tell her " the guest bathroom is right down the hall, I'll get you the towel and clothes""Shit, I wanted to use yours, I'm sure it's way cooler" she laughs and walks towards the guest bathroom.
I check through the drawer of new things that I hardly open. I pull out a beige colored towel and unfold it.It's kind of short
But there's no other unused one at the moment. I grab a new tooth brush and go downstairs. I knock on the door
"Erica, hope your not naked"
"Not yet" I hear her response and open the door. She's sitting on the bed in the guestroom. I hand her the towel and tooth brush and say " when your done changing just hand me your clothes and I'll put them in the washer"
"Sure"
I leave the room and allow her change. After a minute the door opens and her hand is stuck out giving me her scarf shirt and jeans. I walk over to the laundry room and press my nose against her clothes to take in her familiar scentThank God no one saw me
I walk over to my room after putting both our clothes in the washer. I do some pushups and get in the shower when I'm done I put on a pair of briefs and hear a knock on my room door.
I walk over to the door and open it to reveal Erica. Her curly pink hair is wet and water droplets lay on her skin. The towel was short as I predicted and stopped inappropriately exposing her thighs she grips on to the towel ignorantly showing her cleavage.
"You forgot to send the clothes" I realize I'm staring for too long and finally say "s..sorry,I'll get them now"
I go to my closet and scan through my shirts she walks in and I take another look at her. The thought of that towel being the only thing shielding her body from my eyes puts me on edge. I pull out a pink shirt and show it to her " is this okay?"
"Cause I'm a girl?, grow up Noah. We are going to the woods, something dark pls so I don't stain it"
I get a black t shirt with a large neon green nike tick on the front. She gives an approving nod and I throw it to her.
"Really? I'm using my hands to support my towel. If I catch it the towel will fall"
I really hope it does. Focus Noah."Sorry?" We both leave it on the floor and I get to the cupboard with all my underwear. I grab the boxers I had in mind. Only worn once, haven't worn it since then cause it's too big and makes uncomfortable folds in my trousers.
I walk over to her and she tenses up. I'm directly in front of her and I see the shock in her eyes. I squat in front of her and her two hands immediately go to the hem of the short towel and hold it in place.
"What are you doing?" She asks with a shaky voice
"Picking up the shirt" I say and pick up the shirt I had thrown at her which she didn't catch.
"Oh" she exhales and eases up.
"Turns out your towel wouldn't have fallen down if you caught the shirt." She notices that her hands aren't guarding the top of her towel and let's out a shy laugh. I place the shirt and boxers on her shoulder place my palms on either sides of her shoulder and turn her around.
"Buh bye"
She walks away and has her two hands behind her on her butt in an attempt to shield it from my eyes.The towel isn't that short
Wish it was though. I get back to my closet and pick out what I'll wear. I settle with a sleeveless shirt and shorts. I put on a pair of crocs and go downstairs. Erica is at the front of her room sorry the guest room. She has the nike shirt on, it's big on her and she has to raise it up before I can see that she's wearing the dark blue polka dotted boxers I gave her. It's not big on her though, her thighs and her ass take up all the space making it look like slightly loose briefs.
"Do you have socks" she asks. She has her sneakers from yesterday night in her hand.
"I'm coming" I go back to my room and bring out a white pair of nike socks. I remember what she says about getting things dirty then I bring out the black nike socks and go back downstairs then hand it to her. I watch as she tries to wear it while standing then looses balance.
"Let me help" I offer and before she rebels I take the socks from her hand then squat and wear her socks and sneakers for her.
I stand up and she gives me a light smile and walks over to the front door.
"Your welcome"
"I was doing just fine on my own but thanks"
We both leave my house and I lock the door. We get in my car and this time drive to the lake.Author's note
