Downstairs, Rykie had finished frosting the cakes. A wicked little smile tugging at her lips. She couldn't wait for Sami to have a bite and then float as high as a kite. She wanted him to get out of his head for a little bit. See where the night took them. Just then, as if reading her mind, Sami stumbled into the kitchen. "Can I have a bite?" He asked, looking at the cakes. "Sure." Rykie smiled. "Let me cut you a slice." As Rykie handed Sami a piece of cake on a napkin, she bit into a piece herself. "Mmm. Perfectly moist." She murmured. Sami bit into his slice hungrily. "This is great!" He shared. He finished his slice and asked for more. Rykie cut him another piece and gave it to him. They continued to chew in silence.

Rami stirred next to me on the bed. I opened an eye. Had I fallen asleep? I rolled over to look at my phone. Indeed, we had both fallen asleep. For over an hour. I sat up and poked Rami with my toe. "Wake up, babe." I said. "What?" He said, still sounding half asleep. "I'm hungry." I said. He rolled over and grabbed his boxers to slip them back on. He shrugged his shirt on and then sat up. I pulled my dress on and waited for him by the door. He put his pants back on and walked over to me. He kissed me on the head and then held my hand. "Thank you." He said. "For what?" I smiled. "For sharing so much of yourself... with me." He said quietly. I blushed and kissed him on the cheek. And we headed downstairs. His arm around my waist.

Sami was giggling, something he never does, while Rykie spoon fed him more cake. That's when Rami and I entered the kitchen. "Hey guys!" Sami said, waving us over. "You gotta try this. It's the bomb!" He said a little too loudly, pointing at the cake. Rami whispered in my ear then. "They're edibles, you know marijuana?" He told me, nodding at the cakes. "Is it safe?" I whispered back. "Totally. Just a nice level head high, you can't overdose. I promise." He said crossing his heart. I nodded. "What are you whispering about over there?" Sami asked, sounding a little paranoid. "Nothing you need to know about Sami. It's for my girl's ears only." Rami said winking at his brother. Then Rami whispered into my ear once more, "Sami has no idea. Play along. OK?" He told me a smile tugging on his lips. I giggled and then quickly tried to compose myself. Rami cut two slices for us and then walked back over to me with a plate for us to share.

Sami started playing music on his phone. He blasted Touch of Grey by The Grateful Dead and started to dance around the kitchen. Rykie laughed and then joined him. As they bopped and moved to the tune, Rami and I chowed down. I was ravenous. The lovemaking must have eaten up a lot of our calories. I stopped halfway through my slice of cake. I hadn't tried edibles before and felt myself grow a little nervous. Rami saw the expression on my face, "you'll be OK. It's all in your head. Whatever you feel... it's not real." I nodded. "Too sweet." I mumbled, trying to hide my discomfort. "I need some water." I filled a glass with ice water and sat back down by the kitchen counter. Rami had finished his slice and was just polishing off my piece when I came back. He wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. "I love you." He said loudly. "I love you, too." I told him quietly.

Sami and Rykie still danced. Then Sami tripped over his foot and fell to the floor in a fit of laughter. Rykie helped him up. He grabbed his phone and started scrolling through it. He stopped at a video of a country song with some old guy belting out really loud. He started laughing. He showed the screen to us, pointing at it, and then dissolving into laughter yet again. His face was streaming with tears from laughing so hard. He tried to stand up but would start laughing uncontrollably again and have to sit down. Rykie sat down with him. She liked Sami like this. She rubbed his back and looked at the video. Before long she burst out laughing. Tears rolling down her face now too. Rami and I walked over to get a better look. And then it hit me, too. I started to laugh so hard my stomach hurt. Rami just looked at all of us with a funny look on his face. He listened to the song for a moment and then he too burst out laughing loudly as well. Soon, we were all on the floor laughing and crying and trying to catch our breath.

Rykie stood up first. She reached down towards Sami to help him up. "Let's go chill on the patio?" She suggested. Sami nodded, his face still covered with the wet of his laughter. He swiped at his cheeks with the sleeve of his shirt. "I'm kind of beat." I said looking at Rami. "Yeah, me too. I think we might call it a night?" Rami told Rykie. She nodded. "Fine. See you both in the morning?" I hugged her and thanked her for the delicious dessert. She smiled and said, "have fun." With a little wink. I smiled. "Already did." I whispered, winking back. She gave me a knowing look and laughed. "Nice." She clapped me on the back. I nodded and felt myself blushing. "Now, you go get 'em, tiger." I told her and pushed her towards Sami. She gave us both a little wave before walking towards the patio, to meet Sami.

I turned to Rami. "Are you really tired?" I asked him. "Actually, I am." He admitted. "Yeah, me too. Want to snuggle?" I raised my brow at him. He growled at me like a tiger and buried my face into his chest. "Yesss!" He said, his teeth clenched. I laughed. We went back upstairs to our room. We both undressed and dived under the sheets, naked. "Better this way." Rami said. "Our body heat will keep us warm." He winked. We kissed and fondled and fooled around until we both fell asleep soundly, in each others arms. Again.
