ATOMS OF YOU

35

Once he stopped the car, he kissed my forehead, I was half slept. I was too tired and all the alcohol in my veins have done enough for me. Next thing I remember is waking up in Alex's bed, my head hurting so bad and my tired body, really exhausted. I looked at Alex's clock, it was noon already. It was really hot. I'd take a shower and get ready, we should be already leaving. I got out of the bed, I was all naked, and then I heard the front door, and walked downstairs to see Alex.

— Look who's up, my sleeping beauty. –he laughed, walking to me with a big box between his arms— Aren't you dressed up yet?
— I was about to shower, I'll be ready in twenty.
— Again? You wanted to shower when we arrived, I helped you to shower, you could barely stand in your feet.
— Oh, maybe that's why I was naked, right? –he laughed at me again, he was all fresh like if he had slept his eight hours
— Yes, my love. You didn't want to put something on. Don't you remember?
— Not even a little.
— Look what I bought you, it's red, just as you like.
— What's this? –he handed me the box, and I opened it, getting to see a motorcycle helmet all bright red, it was a beautiful color— Babe, what's this for?
— We need two of them in the road, and I had only one. This one's for you. –he grabbed it back, putting it on the box— Come on, go change, Matt is asking where are we, go, go, go.

He kissed my cheek and I run upstairs to put something on. I grabbed my jean shorts, my red Converse and my red top, and my sunglasses of course. I added a change of clothes to my backpack, and everything I'd need. Alex then added his clothes and things, since I'd have to carry the backpack, we would only take one. I got downstairs to feed my cat, but Alex was already doing it.
I rubbed some sunscreen in my bare shoulders while he got the motorcycle out the garage. He was wearing some blue Adidas short, those that you use to go to the pool, and a stamped shirt, with his sunglasses hanging from the neckline, it was unbuttoned, showing his chest and golden necklace hanging.

We did a little stop by my house, so I'd grab my bikini. I added to the backpack, and I quickly took a pill with some water to kill this hangover. I got out and closed the door back with my keys. Everything was okay inside. Alex put his helmet on, his was black, and mine was red. He helped me to put it on, I'd take a picture, but my phone was inside my backpack, and his too. I sat again behind him, hugging his waist with my two hands, and laying my head on his back. We got out of town, half the highway we rode next to the coast, it was really hot and I felt how the sun burned my skin, I thanked the sunscreen was on my skin. We didn't talk that much during the trip, but he made sure everytime that I was okay. Everytime he stopped, he caressed my hands on his stomach, I'd kiss his back. In no longer than an hour, probably, we arrived to some kind of residence outside Los Angeles. A place full of cactus and sand. We parked under the open garage, he helped me to get off and to take the helmet. I still had the hair extensions, I'd have to get them taken out, because they were really tight.

— You look good even with a helmet. –he whispered, while he opened the lock under my chin, and then took it off
— Stop flirting with me, I'll do bad things to you. –I joked, then planted a kiss on his lips, then little Amelia appeared
— Daddy, daddy, I found them. –she yelled to Matt, who was walking behind her, she then ran to me, so I'd pick her up
— Where were you? –Matt asked, and then greeted us with a hug, he was so friendly— When will your boyfriend learn about punctuality?
— I don't know about it, but this time was my fault.
— Wild party last night, no comments about it. –Alex laughed, and so I did, I probably didn't remember everything, but I remember enough
— Oh, yes, Breana showed me the picture of you, really good costumes. –he then asked Alex— Did you read the group chat?
— Not really, my phone got out of battery, I charged it but I didn't turn it on.
— Nick send some pictures that his wife saw of you and Isla at a party, cuddling in a puff seat, someone spotted the two of you.
— What did you say? –I sneaked to see Matt's phone, he was showing Alex, and then to me— I haven't seen my phone since last night, it is in the backpack.
— I told you last night. –he laughed, because probably I was full of notifications.
