My Accident (Nanowrimo2018)

Chapter 21

The moment times went back an hour, Katrina could tell the difference. It got darker four hours earlier. Katrina formed a routine where she was either at work, or at home with Michael. She made sure she spent tons of time with him. She even got back into walking around their room naked when she was home. One day Michael walked in the room and saw her sitting on the bed in the nude. He said, "baby, were you enjoying yourself without me?" "Yes, I am feeling pretty good in my skin." Secretly, Michael was waiting for her to walk around naked. It made it easier for him when he wanted to make love to her. He knew work stressed him out, and spending time with her, made him feel better. He said, "sweetie, I love you and all I want is for us to go dancing tonight." Katrina said, "that's different. I know you don't like to dance. Let's go. I'm going to get dressed and you should change." "Of course, I'm going to change."

Michael went to the closet and picked out an outfit and went to the bathroom. Katrina went to the drawer and picked out a pink bra set. She went in the closet and picked out a pink laced front dress. When they were both dressed, Katrina and Michael left the house. They arrived at the club by 10. When they got there, they got passed the doorman and they went by the DJ first. Katrina told him to play Murder She Wrote. When he started playing that song, Katrina saw a few of the girls she knew, and they started dancing. Michael watched from the side. Katrina was smiling and having a good time. She walked over to Michael and took him by the arm. She said, "you are dancing with me tonight. I don't care how you feel about it." "Alright."

Katrina dragged him on the floor and all you heard was Get on the Good Foot by Justin Timberlake. Michael had liked that song back when they were young. Him and Katrina started dancing and it was on. They moved well together. Katrina couldn't help but laugh and smile. She was glad he was doing something else with her. Katrina and Michael spent most of the night at the club. They danced and had one drink each. They knew they both had to work in the morning. They left the club at 12am. Back at the house, they showered and went to bed. Katrina and Michael talked when they got up in the morning. Katrina was laying on him. He said, "you know I never thought I was going to wake up to you. In the start of us dating again, I couldn't tell what was going to happen. There was a time when I felt lonely and all I did was call you." Katrina remembered the night they stayed up talking until the sun came up. "I am not surprised you remember that." "I know more than you think I do. For instance, you only eating the crust on your pizza with ranch or before you eat the actual slice."

For the next two hours, they laid in bed and talked about all the stuff they knew about each other. Michael started laughing when Katrina was mocking the way he brushed his hair. "I am not that bad. You literally used to brush your hair fifty times before we went to bed." "Yes, my Nana told me about doing it, and I found it was very relaxing before I went to sleep." Michael and Katrina got out of the bed a little bit after. They made breakfast and ate at the table. Once they got done, they went to the store. When they got in the supermarket, they bought all the groceries they were going to need for the month. When they got back to the house, they stocked up the cabinets and the refrigerator. Katrina and Michael cleaned up all the bags and threw away all the wet ones. Once they finished, they sat on the couch and turned on the television. They started watching the movie, Blue Streaks. Katrina said, "you know in all the times I have watched this movie, I have never seen the end."

"Well, you will tonight. We don't work tomorrow either. I am shocked our schedules are working with each other. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad. I am just a little surprised by it." "I know what you mean." Katrina and Michael positioned themselves to where she was laying on his lap. Michael took the cover off the back of the couch and laid it on her. Katrina and Michael watched the movie. When it got to when Martin Lawrence was beating up on the dude while at the police station, they couldn't stop laughing. Katrina and Michael got up and made themselves some food when it was on commercial. While they were heating up their food, Katrina said, "baby, I love you so much. I know at times it seems like I love you too much. I think about you all the time and I don't know if I can contain myself some days. I know I am especially glad I get to come home to you. I love being yours and I know you love me."

"I do love you. I know a lot of the time it seems like our sex life covers the time we spend together, but I know that's the way I show you my romantic side. Yet, lately I have been paying attention to the things you say and watch. I do pay attention when you tell me about your stories. I think about the stuff you told me about from your journals. I want you to have the romantic parts of a relationship. I want you to have everything you have ever dreamed about. You are everything to me and I know you know that. I'm not saying I am going to become psycho. I just know for a fact I'm not going to share you. If someone dare tries to touch what's mine, we are going to fight. I love you and no one is getting you. It's one of the reasons I'm glad you are loyal to me." "I was loyal when we dated, and I will be loyal even when we are about to take our last breaths."

They went back into the living room and sat down. They ate and finished watching the movie. Michael said, "so how is the writing coming along?" "It's coming along pretty well. You know it's a lot easier now then in the beginning. I'm glad I am choosing to stay as a self-published author. It's easier for me and I know what it's looking like when I post online and broadcast my new work to the world." Katrina laughed at herself. She knew she was excited and thrilled about being an author. She liked being able to have a day job and still manage to work on writing novels. She knew they took time and she was doing well, with the routine. She would work, come home and cook. She would write for two hours and do a chapter a day. She would wait for Michael to get home and cater to him. Michael got into the habit of giving her a foot massage. She loved his massages.

She felt like he had magic hands. She would give him back and shoulder massages. One-night Katrina decided to give him a full body massage. When she got done, Michael said, "baby, you got out all my tense spots. It's your turn. Katrina laid flat on the bed and Michael cracked his fingers and got to work. He was happy to give her a massage. He made sure he got the kinks that were in her neck. He was always telling her she needed to just do exercises on her neck. Of course, Katrina would do it, but then she would also crack them with her hands too. She would be annoyed about it. Michael knew it would be because she was always slouching and because of the fact she liked to sleep curled up in a ball. Michael said, "baby, you got to start laying completely flat out. You are going to hurt yourself." "I know. I don't know when I started sleeping that way. I will have to get used to sleeping a different way. "I will help you with it."

Once Michael finished her massage, they laid together in warmth. They bought extra heat to each other. They slept in peace and quiet. Neither of them were snoring and they were holding onto each other tight. Katrina and Michael didn't wake up until 6 am. When they got up, they made love. After they were finished, they got dressed and went out for breakfast. They went to the Waffle House close to them. When they got there, they sat at a booth. When they got their menu's, they started going through trying to think of what to eat. Katrina decided on getting the breakfast bowl with the hash brown. Michael chose to get a chocolate chip waffle and eggs. Katrina got two pieces of sausage patties on the side. When the waitress came back, they ordered their food. Once she walked away, they got back to talking.

Katrina and Michael were talking about how they felt about the night. Katrina said, "baby, I don't know how we do it. We continue to put each other in that position and make ourselves hit overload. We go so fast and we are so in the zone and all we want to do is keep going. Its riveting and at times we find ourselves being tired after. Sometimes I want to eat afterward. Yet, I love it when you hold me." When Katrina got the last word out, the waitress came with their drinks. Katrina had an orange juice and Michael had coffee.
