First Crush, My Forever

Chapter 29

  My eyes flutter open and I take in my surroundings, realizing I am not at home in my bedroom. I glance to my left and see Natalie on her side facing me, still asleep. I rub my face as I take a deep breath then release it then check the time on my Apple Watch that is nearly dead. I can't believe I slept with Natalie last night. I'm not the type of person to go out to bars or clubs often and I damn sure do not sleep around and more importantly have a one night stand. When I move my hand away from my face, I glance to my left again and this time Natalie is looking at me.

  "Morning sexy, what time is it? Natalie asks as she grabs my wrist and looks at the time on my watch. "It's already 11:15. Okay, so the sex definitelyyyyy did not make that woman change her mind because... damn. I need that woman's name though so I can find her and thank her."

  "What?"

  Natalie laughs as she props her head up on her hand. "I need to thank that woman for making you so mad and frustrated because that was the best three hours of sex I have ever had. I wish I would not have literally passed out because I would have loved to return the favor more than once but you wore me out."

  I sigh and sit up because I am aggravated with myself right now. "Hey Ellie, what's wrong? Did I do or say something wrong? Is it because of last night?"

  I glance behind me and see Natalie sit up. "Like I said last night, I'm not the type of person to have one night stands. It's not an attractive quality to me. It's nothing against you, that's just not who I am. Everyone has their own preferences, this just isn't mine and I shouldn't have done this. No offense."

  I get out of bed, with my back towards Natalie, grab my clothes and start getting dressed. "None taken and I didn't make you leave with me. I offered and you accepted. Look Ellie, we are two adults who had both been drinking and it was just no strings attached fun. You're allowed to do that and unwind and by they way you fucked me, you definitely needed to unwind."

  I hear what Natalie is saying but that doesn't mean I'm happy with myself. "Can you still take me to get my car? If not, give me your address and I will call a friend to come pick me up." I look at her waiting for an answer.

  Natalie shakes her head as she uncovers her naked body and gets out of bed. I turn around to give her privacy to get dressed and hear her laugh. "There's no need to turn around, you already saw me naked last night. I know we were pretty tipsy but I definitely remember that body of yours. And yes, I will still take you to get your car." I know I've seen her naked already but we are not together and I am trying to be respectful.

  I hear Natalie groan as she takes a few steps. "Are you okay?" I worriedly ask as I put my shoes on.

  Natalie laughs as she opens the dresser drawer, I'm guessing getting clothes out so she can get dressed. "Oh I'm great, just sore as hell. Guess I will be walking funny today because you fucked the shit out of me." She laughs again then adds "that's okay though because that's how you know it was great sex. Kinda regret that I only got to fuck you once but with the way you were making me feel I didn't want you to stop. Okay, I'm dressed."

  I turn around and see Natalie slipping on some Adidas slides. "Sorry about you being sore."

  Natalie slowly walks over to where I'm standing and stops in front of me. "Ellie, you have nothing to be sorry about. I had a really great time and hope you did too. Like I said, being sore just means it was great sex plus with as many times as you fucked me and made me cum, I knew I would be sore. Thank you for a great night, now let's go so I can take you to your car."

  As we are on our way back to the bar, a reminder pops up on my screen for an appointment today that I had set up a couple months ago. I need to clear my head and what better way to do that than with some ink therapy but after everything that had gone on recently, I had forgotten about my tattoo appointment. "Shit."

  Natalie glanced in my direction, "what is it?"

  "I had forgotten about my tattoo appointment today. I have about 45 minutes to get home, shower and get there." The rest of the car ride is silent except for the music playing. After about 15 minutes, we pull into the bar's parking lot and she parks beside my car, which is the only one here.

  "Can't believe there's not a few more leftover cars here. Usually there's at least four or five left here the next morning, especially on the weekend." Natalie states as she puts her car in park.

  I unbuckle my seatbelt then turn my attention to Natalie. "Does that mean you do this often? The whole one night stand thing?"

  Natalie laughs, "yeah, I do. I like meeting new people, I like sex and I don't want to be tied down to anyone right now or maybe ever. I'm young and having fun. Look Ellie, don't beat yourself up over last night. Obviously you needed it and you seem more relaxed now. We had a great time and it was just sex, really great sex."

  I laugh and roll my eyes at Natalie. "I did have a good time plus I do feel less stressed and frustrated, so thank you for last night. Thanks for the ride too and be careful going back home."

  As I open the car or to get out Natalie touches my arm, stopping me and I look back at her. "How far from here do you live?"

  "It's about 30 minutes from here. Why?"

  Natalie looks to be in thought for a few seconds. "And where is the tattoo appointment you have?"

  "It's over on San Pedro Avenue at Ink Couture. I really need to go because I would prefer to get a quick shower after last night."

  "Just follow me back to my place and you can shower there. You would have to wear the same clothes but at least you will not smell like sex. There's no way you will have enough time to get home, shower and make it to your appointment in time."

  Natalie is right and I do not want to reschedule my tattoo appointment, especially not the day of. "Luckily I have a bag with spare clothes in my car. You sure you don't mind?"

  "Yes, I'm sure so come on."

  "Okay, thank you so much." I got in my car and before cranking it I texted my moms letting them know I will be home later today especially since I didn't go home last night. I know I'm 21 and don't have to tell them my whereabouts but I prefer to let them know if I'm not going to be home or not for the night.

  I follow Natalie to her house and once we get there, I grab my bag out of the trunk and follow her inside. She tells me where the main bathroom is and I quickly go shower. After showering, I get dressed, put on my shoes then grab my dirty clothes and put them in my bag. I put the towels in the hamper and double check to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. As I leave the bathroom and turn the corner I see Natalie sitting on the kitchen countertop eating a bowl of cereal.

  "Thank you again Natalie, for everything. I should head out so I can get to Ink Couture in enough time."

  "Bye Ellie and I really hope that woman realizes what she missed out on. Maybe I will see you around sometime." I close the front door behind me after making sure the doorknob is locked. I get in my car and back out of the driveway.
