Mouth dry, head aches. Body so warm...
"Xan.... " I smile remembering the way we laughed last night.
"Hmm?" He moans behind me and I sigh contented.I feel his chest on my back, his face in my neck and his rough calloused hands on my body. My nightgown has risen up over my hips and those wicked hands have a firm grip, one on the back of my thigh that he has pushed forward and one under my pyjamas.... full breast cuppage and I arch into his hand.
"You keep turning up in my dreams and I'm gonna start charging you rent" I moan with a smile.
"You dream of me Roni?" He laughs softly and his lips kiss at my hair.
"Hmm" I sigh loving the feel of him.My hands grab my breasts and I feel his hand under mine, my eyes snap open.
"Alexander?!" I gasp.
"What's wrong?" He lifts his head sounding more awake.
"Ah, you're in my bed. With me. Oh god, your hands" I groan as it hits me he's really here.
"Oh... yeah. Ah, you let me go and I'll let you go okay?" He laughs embarrassed.
I look down and my hand is holding him in place."Oh sorry" I blush and close my eyes.
"Veronica there's something you should probably know about me, I'm a tit man. I love them. Yours fucking owned me all night in that fucking dress, I'm sorry" he confesses and removes his hand from under my clothes.
"And my ass?" I giggle at the whole situation."Your ass is in trouble, you have no idea how much pain this thing gave me last night" he slaps my ass and I jolt with a gasp. "It just doesn't know how to keep still does it?" He finishes roughly.
"I'm so sorry" I groan embarrassed and try to put the pieces together in my foggy mind.
"Sorry I stayed?" He asks quietly and his arms let me go.
I stay where I am as he rolls to his back."I don't know. We agreed no sleepovers and I made you uncomfortable. Oh god tell me I didn't try to seduce you" I cover my face close to tears.
"No Ron, you told me straight up no sex. You wanted me to cuddle you, you seemed sure about it. You were drunk, I should've left" he sighs frustrated.
"I'm sorry" I repeat mortified."Hey Veronica? It's alright. I didn't take advantage of you, I wouldn't do that" he touches my shoulder lightly and I flinch.
"I know, my vagina's not sore" I mumble.
"I should go" he comments and sits up making the mattress move with him.I feel cold without his warmth behind me.
"We both should, we'll both be late this morning" I sit up too and hug my knees.
"So what? It's not like the boss can kick our ass" he scoffs and I giggle just a little.
"Xander? Why don't you have first shower and I'll make us something to eat, if I don't throw up that is"I get up and walk around in front of him, I made this mess, I should fix it.
"Sounds really good actually" he nods and I run my fingers through his messy hair.
"Thank you for being such a good friend, and for being so cute while I'm drunk" I blush and shake my head.
"Welcome Veronica" he smiles lifting just one side of his lips, his eyes look sad and I step forward to hold him.My arms wrap around his shoulders and my cheek rests on his head, soft hands land on my hips and hold there like he's deciding whether to push me away or not. Slowly they wrap around my waist.
"Just so you know, it's a male thing. We just wake up like that" he mumbles shyly into my belly making me grin.
"Okay" I nod."It's got a full tank but it runs on diesel, fuel filler is on the drivers side" Alexander tells me as we approach his car.
He places the keys in my hands but I look at my watch."Xander, this doesn't feel right. You're going to be so late. Just drive me to work and I'll come by and grab it later, I don't want to put you out anymore than I already have" I tell him and give him back the keys.
"Even if you do I don't regret anything, I had a great time with you last night but we don't have time to argue. Jump in" he snaps and takes the drivers seat.
