Life With My Brothers Best Friend

Chapter 18.

Stirring awake, the sun shines through my closed eyelids making me pull the blanket over my head and groan.

The sun hates me.

It's pointless to even try to get back to sleep when the sun has volunteered to be my personal alarm clock this morning.

After last night, I'm pretty exhausted. We had an extra round sometime after the first, making me extremely tired and Colten no doubt zombie like. I tried to stop him from his advances the second time, explaining that he really should be getting to bed since he still had work the next morning, but he said - and I quote - screw it.

I turn over to my side, where Colten usually lays beside me and sigh. He's already left for work. I feel bad I couldn't kiss him good-bye, but I'm a pretty heavy sleeper when I want to be.

Throwing the blankets off of me, I grab my bathrobe and make my way into the bathroom to clean off. I'm full of dry sweat and dirty feels.

While I wash my hair, the memories hit me in such a way I nearly gasp. I could become pregnant after this. No condom. No birth control. Nothing. The lock and key solution is probably already making its way on me.

Crazy.

I hop out of the shower, being careful of the multiple love bites on my body while drying off. Colten loves to "mark his territory" he's like a dog that way. Always has been.

Changing into a pair of comfy grey sweat pants - Colten's - and a black Lions hoodie - also Colten's - I make my way over to my bed while towel drying my hair. I rip the sheets off of the king size mattress along with the pillow cases and roll them into a ball. I walk to the laundry room that's just off the kitchen and throw the dirty materials into the washer, throwing the clothes that were in there, into the dryer.

When I was a teenager I never did change my sheets after Colten and I's activities, which now that I think about it is extremely gross, but I just didn't think about all the nastiness that happened. So, when I went off the college I discovered the exact disturbing results of the intercourse with the yellow sweat stain on our white sheets. From then on I've made sure to change the bed spread every time.

I make myself two pieces of toast with cinnamon and sugar on them, then head to the living room to watch some tv.

I'm extremely sore from last night, and I want nothing more than to sit on the couch all day and fry my brain with T.V. So, I start watching Teen Mom 2 and stick to the goal of the day.

•••

It's around noon when I realize how boring it is just sitting around watching a whole season of Teen Mom. I've dealt with all of Jenelle's rampages and Leah's emotional escapades, and I must say, it is now getting to me.

Groaning, I push myself off the couch and decide that it would be nice to visit Karen today. It hasn't been long since our last visit, but it's always nice to see my mother in law.

I put on the first thing I see which happens to be a pair of leggings, a nice comfy jacket and some Uggs. I grab my purse and head out the door, making sure to lock it as well.

The ride to the hospital becomes quicker and quicker the more I make my way there, and in no time I'm pulling up to the visitors parking lot. It's just how I remember it. They haven't added color to the walls since I've been here, or gotten rid of the rancid anti-bacterial smell they always have. They probably won't ever accomplish any of my wishes.
