Chapter 80
Going back to school the next day felt all kinds of strange.
It wasn't like I'd never had sex before, but in truth, I'd never had sex with Lexi before, so that changed things.
We were dating, and everyone already had their opinions or theories about our couple. Our friends were noisy and sometimes a little too invested in each other lives.
Would they be able to tell?
The snowstorm had made it feel like time had stop for a little while and Lexi and I were in our own little bubble, but now it was time to go back to our real life.
And our real life meant gossipy friends.
Getting ready to get to school had been painful too, because in a turn of event I had not seen coming, I overslept.
Lexi and I both had forgotten to set up our alarms, so we woke up with barely enough time to get to class without being late.
"See, this is kind of hilarious, because usually I'm the one running around like a headless chicken. This is a beautiful scene unfolding in front of me," Lexi said while getting dressed.
I ignored her teasing and kind of just mumbled to myself, "I don't have time to take a shower."
"You took a shower last night."
"But I take showers in the morning."
"But you didn't do your morning run, so there's no reason for you to take a shower again."
"My ritual is all fucked up."
"I know something else that was fucked."
"Jesus, woman, you can't say that shit to me when we have to be in the car in five minutes if we don't want to be late for class."
"We could skip class entirely. Say we got a very bad cold from playing outside and that we need to stay cooped up together in quarantine. The cold might be infectious. We need to stay safe."
"You know quarantine comes from the French word quarantaine. Which mean forty days. Which was like the period of time you'd spent secluded."
"I absolutely support a forty day sex fest."
"OHMYGOD. Behave."
My girlfriend just cackled at me while I ran around my room getting ready.
Anita gave us breakfast to go and a few minutes later, we were driving to school.
"You know, it's really no big deal if we're late. The roads are disgusting after a snowstorm. I think it's expected for some of us to be late."
"I can't believe I overslept."
I should have known my stress would dissipate after finally being honest with my girlfriend, and working through my issues.
"I really feel like we should have known the way to fix your insomnia would be sex with me," Lexi said with a grin making me laugh. "I think sex with me will really just solve all our problems. I think we should do it a lot more often. World peace my eventually be achieved."
"I don't know about all our problems, but I know that I'm actually glad that if we follow our usual schedule, tonight we should be sleeping in our respective beds, because I don't see how I'd be able to sleep at your house and now repeat yesterday," I admitted, taking my Pumpkin's hand in my own, and kissing the top of it.
"The no fornication rule is gonna be really painful now that you've tasted the forbidden fruit, huh?" Lexi teased me before leaning over and kissing my coat covered shoulder.
