Prison of Beauty

Finally a GOOD DAY

It's Delivery Day. I volunteer to go get all of our new clothes and return the old ones so I have an excuse to deliver half my breakfast. I'm kinda hoping there'll be another make out session, I thought I would have to abstain from any of that kind of fun in order to not get a kid ... But now I can have fun because I want to, because of the L word, like in Lisa's old romance novels ... I know I was all dramatic about how the L word is forbidden and ruins lives and everything, but when with the right person ... maybe it can make things better instead of worse! For once things are going right and I'm just really happy.

PLOT TWIST

Things actually stay happy and NOTHING MESSES IT UP!! I go to the animal hospital and have another steamy make-out session. He finally tells me his name; it's Kai. God, even his name is amazing!

I try to wipe the smile off my face as I head back home with all of our new packages. I'm gonna have to have a talk with mom -- people over 30 should not wear leggings as pants, under any circumstances. Ever.

Anywhoo, everything keeps going great. We have lasagna for dinner, but vegetarian lasagna!! We've been saving up bits and pieces of food for a couple months to make this happen. It's my favorite meal because it's tomato sauce noodles and cheese and mushrooms and ahhhh it's just the best thing to ever be invented. Mom seems to be watching me closely, with this kind of knowing look and I wanna say supportive smile ... but there is no way in hell she would be supportive if she knew what I was doing so I'm just gonna brush it off and blame it on me imagining things because of food and sleep deprivation. Love how even those two things can be a convenience for me today. This is the first time in a long time that I can say I'm actually having a good day. Yay meee.

I head out at midnight again, trying not to skip and hum a song due to my happiness. I still manage to squeeze out a tear for the animals, but even the thought of all of them dying can't stifle my good mood. I see Kai leaning against the wall all sexily again, waiting for me. 

"You're getting lasagna tonight you lucky bastard," I say with a smile, walking up to him.

"Mmmm get you a girl who can cook," he says, leaning down for a kiss.

His lips meet mine and the tingles shoot down my body again. 

"Eat up before I change my mind."

"Don't have to tell me twice!"

Once he finishes gulfing down his food, he hooks a finger through my belt loop and pulls me to him, making my lips crash into his. He nibbles on my bottom lip and starts kissing his way downward. A sweet sensation comes over me as he bites a certain spot, and he reads my gasp as an encouraging sign and keeps nibbling at it. His hands find my ass and start squeezing and rubbing it while pulling me, if possible, even closer to him. I can feel his dick hardening through his pants and smirk knowing he's gonna have to walk away with blue balls tonight. It reminds me that he doesn't have to "work" anymore, thanks to me. Because I'm awesome. And everything is great. I think I even heard a bird sing today. And it was sunny. And the sky is starry right now.

"What are you thinking about?" he whispers into my ear, his hot breath sending goose bumps down my skin.

"How I've actually had a really good day today, which hasn't happened in awhile," I answer, smiling up at him.

With a chuckle, he responds, "Well, I hate to cut this short, but your good day hasn't erased those circles under your eyes. You need to get more sleep."

"I'm fine! I ="

"I feel bad enough taking your food, please don't make me feel guilty for stealing your sleep too."

"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night, babe!"

"Good night." I'm already turned around to head home, and thank God for that, because I don't think the dark of the night could be enough to hide my blush right now.

~~

On the way home, I decide I'm having too much fun to let the night end now. So I look for Fitz, who I find having just finished work and on his way to meet Jeremy at Tom and Lisa's old building to sleep. 

"I can't wait to meet this Jeremy guy," I tease with a smirk.

"Just ... don't embarrass me. If you say anything about that one time I asked whether the fat government official guy was pregnant. I was three, okay? I hadn't seen a lot of overweight people!"

"OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME," I wheeze out between bursts of laughter, "I AM DEFINITELY USING THAT! HE WAS JUST WALKING ACROSS THE ROAD AND YOU LOOKED AT ME ALL SERIOUS AND ASKED WHETHER HE WAS PREGNANT!! YOU WOULD'VE BEEN SO DEAD IF HE HEARD YOU OH MY GOOOD!!"

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up."

Trying not to keel over from laughing so hard, we weave our way through the guys making their rounds. I see a streak of familiar blue reflecting in someone's eye and turn around to get a better look.

I stop dead in my tracks. 

"What's wrong? Raven?" Fitz shakes me a little.

"Shh! That's Kai!" I whisper, pointing at the perfectly styled black hair. 

"Who the fuck is -- ohh!" Fitz responds, his eyes widening. "You weren't kidding, he is H-A-W-T hawwwt!!"

"Shut up! We're gonna follow him."

"Wha-" I shoot him a look and he shuts up and nods quietly. 

I see him enter the house, eat some food, see the upstairs light go on, hear moans, and see him exit the front door again. Okay, I think to myself, he's a big guy, even I'm struggling to live off of my small rations. It makes sense that he needs a little extra.

I don't know what to tell myself as I see him enter 6 more buildings, receiving generous amounts of food at each house.
