The Custodian (Revised)

Chapter 24

I lost all wind the first time I laid eyes on you - Elzie

She's asleep.

Every five minutes I'm up struggling to look over at her face. I couldn't take it anymore, so I grazed my teeth on her ear to wake her.

She starts whining and I think it's quite adorable.

"Baby, come here." I whisper to her. She's stubborn at first, but eventually she gave in and propped her head up in annoyance.

She's exhausted, but yet, so beautiful. Those lips are slightly parted, and her hair is wild which makes her exotic, and innocent looking. I swiftly close the space between us and kiss her lips, for I am strongly obsessed with her mouth.

How insane!

It's hard to rest while she's right here in front of me. I can't seem to take my eyes, nor hands away from her. She laid her head on top of my arm, and fell back asleep within seconds.

*that morning

I can feel the sun blooming through the blinds right onto my face. It's nearly 8 a.m and I'm still extremely tired. When I open my eyes, Lucy is first within my sight. She's on her side facing me, and her hair is in her face.

She sleeps with an arm under her pillow, and the other one against her stomach. I don't want to wake her but, I need to reverse the blinds to make it dark in here. When I get up to pull the string to reverse them, she starts moving as if she's waking up.

"Fuck!"

I really wish she would stay asleep because I don't want her to go home. I lay back down beside her and play with the locks of curls that's hanging in her face.

She flutters her eyes until they're opened, and when she looks at me, she smiles.

Not a smile that shows her teeth, but the one that's soft but reveals her dimples. She yawns and props her head up.

She starts rubbing her eyes and all of a sudden, I feel like this is what I need.

"Good morning Lucy Lu." She blushes.

"Morning." She responds in a low voice. I want to annoy the shit out of her. I can tell that she's not a morning person but instead, I just ask her stupid shit like...

"You're not a morning person huh?"

"You can't tell?"

I can't help but pull her on top of me just so I can look at all of her. She lies her head on my chest and says something that I didn't want to hear.

"I have to go."

Why does she want to go home? Whether she knows it or not, I can afford to take care of her and more. She need clothes? Toothbrush? Panties? We can go shopping right fucking now, but instead, I say...

"Okay."

I wrap my arms around her body tightly and I caress her.

She loves that shit.

She makes little moaning noises every time I hug her like that. I kiss and softly bite her cheeks and I'm surprised that she lets me because neither one of us has brushed our teeth.

I push her back until she's laying down again. This time, I lay on top of her. I like starring into her eyes.

"You're something else Elzie." She whispers.

"Explain." I lean closer to her face.

She rubs her hand on the side of my face and I kiss it.

"I like how you look me. You're very protective." She says.

I rub my nose on hers.

"What type of man would I be if I can't protect a woman?"

I try to play it off but she's pretty swift.

"A[emphasized] woman?" She scoffs.

Her jealous side is hilarious. I tickle her sides before an attitude spills.

She knew what I meant!

We're like tornados.

We just so happened to be...

But I want her to be...

What I want us to be.
