Your Love Is Standing Next To Me

Chapter 30 - Brick by brick

My head felt heavy and dizzy and I literally crawled to the bathroom to throw up.

"What the fuck have I drunk?" I asked while leaning over the toilet.

"You okay, hun?" I heard Alex asking from the bedroom.

"Yes, bae! Just... what was the thing Jamie brought last night?" I mumbled while catching my breath and swilled my mouth.

"I don't know, I feel like shit too. Do you refer to the drinks or the cigars? They were pretty strong..."

"Both. Alex, I told you to keep me away from weird things"

"You just know I can't resist you. When you look at me with those adorable eyes I can't help myself but do anything that would make you happy."

"It's awkward to ask it but... did we have sex last night?"

"You don't remember?"

"No, everything after like the fourth shot is black, I don't know... I just remember I had fun"

I know, I know, how can a girl not remember something like that... The thing was that my bra was unhooked but still on and my panties in a very weird position

"I don't think so, I was too stoned by Jamie's crap to do anything that would involve movement control" he shrugged and, despite my feeling bad, managed to let out a short giggle.

"Then I have nothing to worry about!" I concluded happily.

"Absolutely nothing, love!" Alex came next to me and wrapped his hands around my waist and put his head on my shoulder while I was washing my teeth. "I love you" he whispered in my ear, making me shiver. "And honestly now, you know me, I'd never try to make anything against your will. Or when I'm drunk or high or... Marie, trust me..."

"Thanks, Al."

"So, tonight, the last show of this tour leg. How you're feeling about it? Going home..."

"Are you so curious to find out right now or will you let me first take a shower?"

"Why not do both of them at the same time? C'mon, I know you can" he started to smirk mischievously.

"Alex, it's not that I can't but..."

"Oh, you don't want me to see you naked. Okay, it's not like I haven't seen you before but..."

"Alex, look, we're getting married!"

"I know I mean how cool is that!"

"...and... Let's leave things to do after the wedding"

"Like sex in the shower?" we both started to laugh awkwardly. "Okay, then I'll start a list. So, I guess it's time for me to leave... Have fun!"

I rolled my eyes. He was on the verge of closing the door and leaving me alone.

"No, Al, I just... I just don't want to get bored of me!"

"What?!"

" You heard me" I nodded.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding, my silly little girl! Get bored?! Me?! You're so funny sometimes, tha' knows!"

"I mean it, Alex"

"Me too!" he tried to act serious but couldn't control his laughter. "Don't worry, Marie! When I asked you to, you know, become part of my life, marry and stuff, I took into consideration absolutely every little thing that could happen, that could possibly change my mind and I assure you hundred percent that getting bored is nowhere on that list!"
