after my shower, i do my morning skincare, gathering my wits as i head to the beauty room. i walk in with a smile, my dimples flashing as i greet the girls. "good morning, lovelies" my voice is warm, the girls returning my smile as they look up from what they're doing. "i love this for you, honestly" jana says, her infectious joy shining through her words. "you're glowing" kaylor coos, patting my head as i walk past her. i settle into my chair at the vanity, basking in the energy of the room as i breath out, "you can ask."
the girls screech, turning towards me as they practically vibrate with excitement. "how was it?" leah asks, i blush, unsure of if she knows exactly what happened. "which part?" i ask shyly, trying not to give anything away. "i woke up and saw a head shaped lump in the middle of the bed. that part, babe." liv says, her voice teasing as she playfully flicks her tongue. my blush deepens as i remember the feelings from last night. "oh, it was good, i can tell" serena blurts out, her face smug as they look me over. i nod, "you're right, it was very, very good."
the girls clap, pulling me into a hug before they go around talking about their own moments with their boys. after we finish chatting, we get dressed, heading downstairs for breakfast. rob is fixing plates in the kitchen, i head towards him, gently running my hand up his back as i peer around him. "looks good, robby" i say, my stomach rumbling slightly as i take in the food. he smiles slightly, gesturing to the daybeds as he carries both plates.
i sit down first, taking both plates as he settles next to me. we eat in comfortable silence, the connection between us sizzling in the air. after we're finished eating, i take our dishes to the kitchen, cleaning them off before putting them away. i'm on my tip toes, stretching to put the plates up when i'm startled by a hand on my waist. "let me" an accented voice grumbles near my ear. i hand him the plates, dropping back down and pressing into the cabinet as he steps next to me and puts them away. "thank you" i whisper, slightly embarrassed he felt like he needed to help me.
miguel nods his head, staring at me with something i can't describe before he drops his eyes. his hand comes up to rub the back of his neck slightly, the motion alluding to his nervousness before he speaks again, "can we chat quickly?" i nod, my voice gentle as i try to disperse any tension, "of course." he nods back, his voice collected now, "listen, i just wanted to apologize for coming off pretty strong when i first got here. i can see that you're really serious about robert and that's great. i shouldn't have been pushy about it, i hope we can still be friends?" his voice trails off at the end. i nod quickly, a bright smile crossing my face. his eyes waver slightly, dropping to my lips before he meets my eyes again.
"of course, i'd love to be your friend miguel." i say as look up at him. he opens his arms slightly, giving me the option of hugging him. i step into his embrace, giving him a sweet hug before i step back. "i'll see you around?" i ask, eager to get back to rob. he nods, turning to exit the kitchen. i head back over to the rob, my eyes lighting up as i catch him stretched out under the sun. i sit next to him, shielding my eyes as i look him over. "what was that about?" he asks, his voice tight but not as irritated as it usually would be. "he apologized for the other day, for butting in and asked if we could be friends" i respond, keeping my voice light as emotions flicker in his eyes.
his lips pinch in irritation, scooping me up as he flips us over, he pins me between his body and the cushions. "he didn't need to touch you but i can accept that. it was, nice, of him to apologize" rob spits out the word nice, like it leaves a sour taste on his tongue. "that's very mature of you, robert" i tease, my hands lightly running up his back before i wrap my arms around his neck. "mature, huh" he teases, his lips flicking into a grin before he smashes our lips together. our kiss is heavy, full of heat and affection as we lose ourselves in the moment.
i pull away, my breath coming out in pants as i try to collect myself. he licks his lips, the movement sending a visceral reaction through my body as memories of last night flash in my mind. he must notice because a smug look crosses his face, his tone taunting as he murmurs, "there's no reason to be upset about it. i'm the one who had you dripping down my chin last night" i let out a squeak, his words sending a flush across my skin as i playfully swat at him. he grips my hand, intertwining our fingers as he settles me back against the day bed. "there's no reason to be embarrassed, sweet girl. any man on the planet would kill to be between your thighs." he whispers, his voice darkening as he leans closer. he grips my chin, tilting my head towards him, "not that i would give them the chance. you're mine and i don't share, ever."
i melt into the sofa, knowing his words would be concerning if they came from someone else. but with him, i can hear the meaning behind them. his possessive attitude and jealousy stemming from genuine affection that he doesn't know how to express. i meet his gaze, emotion threading through my voice as i whisper, "i'm yours, i don't want anybody else." he settles against my chest, squeezing me tighter as he relaxes into me. we spend the rest of the day tangled in each other, our touch more expressive than any words would be. providing soothing reassurance of what we aren't ready to say, but definitely feel. when it's time to get ready for the evening he drops me off at the beauty room, running a gentle hand down my cheek before he walks away.
