Under The Lights

Thirty-four- Titan Pierce

I wake up with my arms wrapped around Records sleeping figure. Her bonnet is shoved up against my face making it hard to breathe but I don't even care as i feel her soft body under my finger tips.

She moves around in her sleep, scooting her body back into mine until her back melts against my skin. I watch her bra strap fall off her shoulder, feeling her ass press against my closed crotch as i try to stay still. My body grows hot as i try to focus on something else, anything else.

My mind goes to a couple days ago when we danced together while she was drunk, i felt guilty rejecting her, especially when my body was telling me to do the opposite but i just couldn't do that to her, not when this relationship is so new. I just don't want to give her any reason to hate me. Thankfully she forgave me after she sobered up and then we picked where we left off in the kitchen.

After we finished dancing to Adele, Record made us dance to Thriller and i smile just thinking about how much fun it was, i should get her some more vinyl. I know Evan would give me a discount if i bought a lot of them at once.

Yesterday we finished helping transform the cafe into into a party room and the bookstore into a lounge area, it took us all night since today's the party so I wouldn't be surprised if we slept in.

I feel my palm glide against her stomach as she moves again, this time turning around in my arms until her forehead is right under my nose.

"Are you awake?" My voice sounds rougher than usual so I clear my throat.

She yawns, digging her pretty face into my neck, her breath tickling my throat. "What time is it?"

I slightly shiver before i reach over and grab my phone. "1:20." I feel her arms wrap around my torso pulling me back down, pressing her face against my chest, probably listening to the pounding of my heart which just makes it beat faster.

"So how many people come to this thing anyway." She mumbles.

My hands press against her back as i shrug. "I don't know, it's different every year. I try to prepare for a lot just in case." I think back to the other day as i feel the wind blow through the open window causing Record to bury deeper into me. My heart warms at the tiniest gesture and I squeeze her tighter."The cafe has been more packed lately so I'm expecting a decent amount. And i know most of the store owners on the same street close up early to come."

"When does it start?" Her voice is soft and still sleepy as i feel her leg swing around my hip.

"Seven. I would usually go an hour before to prep and make sure everything's ready."

"Usually?" She questions.

I squeeze her tighter, running a hand down her body."Stella and Levi can handle it." She chuckles, running her hand up my back.

"Cmon hurry up!" I hear Record calling me from down stairs, trying to rush me even though i was waiting for her. I just came upstairs to grab a jacket and she must've raced downstairs in that time. Its gonna be cold, i hope she brought one and im the only one wearing jeans so im worried if that costume will be enough to keep her warm.

I walk down the stairs and spot Record bending down to fill the dog bowl up before she snatches her purse off the counter, thats funnily enough on theme with the costume, shaped like a black spider.

My feet are planted on the last step as i gape at her, watching her flip her braids over her shoulder. i feel my mouth drying as I watch them sway before settling right above her ass.

Im more aware of her body than usual, how the suit fits her like a glove, showing off all of her curves. Im almost regretting agreeing to this costume, i don't want others to see her in it.
