IS THIS LOVE?

HAPPIER

ADELE

I'm woken up by the sound of belching in the bathroom next to me. For fuck sake. After my abrupt orgasm last night, I completely forgot about Jed and Laura. Now me and Rich can't even enjoy our morning. Instead, we're going to have to look after these two big toddlers.

"Here we go again." I hear Rich mumble beside me. I can't help but giggle at him. He's got this aura about him that makes him so effortlessly funny.

"Let's go check up on them shall we?" Rich stands up, offering his hand for support. I smile before reaching out, getting up and out of bed.

As we approach the bathroom, the belches get louder and louder. There's only one person this could be. He slowly opens the door, my gaze meeting the ruffled black hair that hangs over the toilet.

"What have you gotten yourself into, Lau." I have to suppress a giggle. She looks absolutely ridiculous. I grab her hair, keeping it out of her face.

"Don't start. I'm never drinking again." Yeah, you said that the last three times you threw up. Laura often has a habit of going past her limit and even when I advise her to stop, she doesn't and always regrets it morning. However, I've had my fair share of moments like that.

"We'll see about that." I state, turning my head around to see Rich leaning against the door giggling.

"Why are we congregating in the toilet?" Jed's voice sounds from just outside the bathroom. He leans his head in to see Laura's atrocious state.

"Not again." I chuckle in response to his words. He's got a great sense of humour.

Minutes pass by, a period filled with belching and spewing before Laura somewhat gets herself together.

Rich makes his way downstairs to prepare a glass of water for Laura. Me and Jed assist Laura in getting down the stairs, ensuring she doesn't tumble.

"Here comes the drunken beauty." I announce as we enter the kitchen. Rich stands there, glass of water in hands, amused at the sight before him.

"Here we are, get this down you." He passes the glass of water to Laura. She takes small sips, not wanting to gulp it down in case she starts throwing up again.

"Thank you." She smiles.

The atmosphere today is a lot calmer than yesterday. Jed seems to be in a better state than Laura, his hangover only mild. Whereas me and Rich are perfectly fine. Especially me after my multiple orgasms last night.

I stare at him as he cooks breakfast. Just his appearance gets me all hot and sweaty. I really love this man.

"Stop staring like that you freak, me and Laura are here too." Jed exposes me. All I do is give him a look that says 'shut up'.

"If I were her I wouldn't be able to control myself from looking either." Rich smirks. This man is way too big for his boots sometimes. I roll my eyes in response to his words.

"What are we doing today then?" Rich asks.

"Not drinking." Laura announces. Her comment earns a loud chuckle from me. She can be really funny at times.

"I think just a chill day would do this one some good," I point at Laura. "Plus, I'm not really in the mood for going out and doing anything insane anyway." I add. Jed agrees with me, his head in his hands. I can tell his head must be pounding.

"Im gonna go back to sleep, I need to shake this headache off." Laura announces before making her way up the stairs.

"You know what, me too. I'm defeated." Jed follows after her. I smile at the pair of them. There's something about looking after these two with Rich that makes me think about kids.

I don't want to mention it yet because it's far too soon to think about having children, but the thought is definitely there.

"What's going on in that pretty head of yours." Rich kisses my forehead, his hand rubbing my back.

"Nothing much," I smile, "Just thinking about how good you've been with my friends. My friends are lovely but they've never welcomed one of my partners like they have with you. You're special." I smile.

He leans down, pressing a soft kiss on my lips. "I'm really glad to hear that. But what can I say, who wouldn't like me?" I roll my eyes once again, I know he only says stuff like that to annoy me. It's still cute though.

"Don't roll your eyes at me like that." He whispers just next to my ear. I bite my lip at his words. I love when he speaks to me like that.

I look up at him, purposely rolling my eyes before smirking. And in that moment, I couldn't be happier.
