KEROSENE | JORDAN
8:55 AM
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.

THE RAPID RINGING of jordan's "apex" alarm blared through the room.

the sunlight beaming in illuminated half of his face before his arm indistinctly shut the alarm off.

the touch of fur on his forehead brought him comfort as he shut his eyes once again.

he spread his long limbs up and down before realizing that something was cradled in his arms.

he look and was faced with kerosene's silhouette as his arms wrapped around her waist under the cover.

he let out a soft moan in pleasure before pulling her closer. her lips were parted while taking sharp breathes.

he traced shapes on her back with his finger, causing her to stir.

he smiled, "good morning baby" jordan greeted softly. her body molded quickly at the sound of his deep voice, turning around to face him.

he left a chaste kiss on her lips.

that made her eyes immediately flutter open. "good morning baby" he repeated to her.

kerosene groaned, "i heard you the first time."

she immediately searched around for the clock on his wall. it read "8:59"

"are you usually up this early?" she asked, wiping the sleep from her eyes. he shrugged in response, "practice has me on a tight sleep schedule"

she nodded, unsure if whatever he just said. her body continued to mesh more into him while he chuckled at her movement.

they were now even closer than before, her mouth just inches away from his own.

as much as he wanted to lounge around in bed with her all day; game 4 was soon 'n he needed all the time he could get to recover from the last game.

"sene wake up" jordan voiced again, met with no answer. light breathing was heard from below him. he shook her once again

"nigga what do you want!" kerosene groaned in annoyance as jordan pointed to the bathroom.

"why do i need to go in there with you?" she muttered.

unbeknownst to her knowledge, she was lifted from the warm bed and soon placed on the bathroom sink.

her phone was placed beside her while he started to undress. after a few seconds, he cocked his head at her closed eyes.

"why your clothes still on?" he laughed.

her body warmed by the subtle question while her eyes adjusted to the lighting. "ion wanna get in that shower with you" she answered smugly.

he sucked his teeth, "right— like i haven't tasted most of that body already." he dismissed. his arms began to take off her shirt, but she quickly stopped him.

his arms went to either side of her body, resting on the sink.

jordan sighed. "what's wrong baby?" he asked her. she did the same before she answered.

"it's... weird." was merely what she said.

"it's weird taking a shower with me?" he furrowed his brows.
