NEXT DAY
I wake up to find Jordan's hair all over my face, her body half-sprawled on me and her cheek resting on my chest. She smells like vanilla and peonies, with a hint of coconut too, I think it's in her hair. I love coconut. Wait—did I say "I wake up"? I don't remember going to sleep or even being sleepy...whatever.I make a gap for my eyes, mouth and nose to breathe and look around, her room is kinda not what I was anticipating it to look like, I never even thought I'd be in her room. I thought it'd be covered in wild lights, loads of pink everywhere, some stuffed animals lying around, and a little messy, but no, there's a decent amount of pink, a little bit of grey and the lights make it look cosy and homely.
Just as I'm taking in the new environment, I hear the door crack open, and that kid from yesterday walk in. Little shit. We've barely said a word to each other, She has been glaring at me and giving me dirty looks since the moment we met. Like, fuck off, go eat some cereal and play with a troll doll or something.
"Who are you?" she asks climbing the bed
"A person,"
"I mean your name," she says scooting herself to the end of the bed, I hope she trips and summersaults to the floor head first.
"Lev,"
"Ew. Im Naomi," like I even asked. "How did you get hurt?"
"I Got beat up,"
"Did you win, JJ said to me if you fight, you gotta fight to win else don't fight at all," she said that? I'm impressed she remembers it word for word too.
"Yeah, I did." She gives me this squinty look, nodding slowly like she doesn't believe me. I don't look that bad... Right? I nudge her with my foot, holding it up so she almost tips backward. Didn't actually mean for her to fall though. Just saying.
After a bit, Jordan stirs, quickly sitting up once she realizes she's lying on me.
"im sorry, you good?" she asks looking at me as she ties her hair back. Dont care if she just woke up, that was so fucking hot. I nod, though my sides are killing me. She stands up and does a little stretch, she's crazily flexible. In her crop top and shorts, I can see a lot. She's got curves in all the right places, with light chocolate skin that looks insanely soft. I kinda want to drag a finger up and down her arm. Just for fun. I didn't expect her tattoos tho, I already seen some but I thought that was it. Her hair is curlier in the morning—long, bouncy, and dead silky, can't lie but it also looks very gripperable. She basically looks like a glowy ethereal being.
She puffs staring at me silently and leaves to a random room. While she's gone, I try to stand without popping a stitch. All I'm gonna say is, it's easier said than done.
"Are you leaving already?" she asks in a robe with a towel on her head. I nod, finally managing to stand up properly. To a bystander, one of those 'morning after' scenes, except I'm not exactly the type to stick around and cuddle. That's more for your lover, which I'm not.
