Pumped-Up Kicks 2

It had to be 6 am when I heard the front door open and close. My eyes popped open and I heard a very flirty girly giggle. And I didn't need to look to see Telly. We hadn't talked since she picked me up from Bellevue. I wanted to talk to her. She didn't answer my call when I said I was going to a cast party. Because this is what she wanted.

For me to get out there and enjoy life again. And once I do that, she fucking disappears. I wanted to sit up and talk right now since she was looking at her phone screen. But she probably doesn't know that her cockblocking brother and sister are here and that's why I'm sleeping on her couch. But if I did sit up straight she would see my love bites. And that would make her go fucking ballistic. "I know you're awake L." She sounded almost amused that I'm over here worried that she'll be mad because I had a one night stand. "Tell me. How was the cast party?" She sat on the arm of the couch next to me and tapped frequently at her screen.

"Um it was," how should I put this? In all actuality it was an okay party. Beer pong game was funny as hell. "It was okay. Not bad I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and watched her type on her screen again. She swung her legs in and out and the long strands of hair fell past her face.

"It was okay? Like on a scale of Chris' engagement party to Remie's birthday bash it was okay?"

"Well both of those ended in disasters. You smashing a champagne bottle against my skull and then you trying your absolute hardest to run away and then you were a stubborn asshole to me afterwards. So to be honest both of those parties sucked ass."

She laughed lightly and crinkled her nose. "Sucked ass. I like that term. The sucking of asses. The ass that you sucked. It's a play on words. Sorta." She laughed at her own analyzing of 'Sucked ass' and I just laughed along with her. Then I stayed quiet just watching her.

I would've have a much better time 2 nights ago if she went with me or if Telly was the one I was making love to and not Emma. For one thing Emma was drunk and clingy. Another she was annoying as hell. And the full portion of my Cockalini Alfredo didn't fit in her pasta dish. Emma was smaller than Telly in the hips which honestly was a downer but more busty. She squirmed a lot and I just wasn't feeling whatever I felt when I was with Telly.

She was right. Once I open my damn eyes she would already be gone. I turned on my side. Bad mistake. Really bad mistake. I just fucked up now. "Um Logan? Why is there a cluster of hickeys on your back in the shape of an 'L'? Are they from Emma?"

"I told you that party sucked ass." I tried to play it off.

"I didn't know you meant it literally." She hopped off the arm of the couch and leaned on the coffee table. "Well, did you have fun?"

I opened my mouth to say something but closed it. She wasn't like Telly but I guess it was kinda fun. "I guess you could say that."

"Oh. Okay." She stood up and walked quickly into her room slamming the door behind her. Fuck I just started a war. Why would I say that? What is wrong with me. I can clearly see that she wants to stick to her proposal, that we would let each other do our own thing. And for the most part, I was doing good at this. Giving her space and not being totally dependent on her. I didn't ask her why she just got home and the sun is coming up. Where was she all night? So if this was a competition I was winning. Everything was quiet except for Telly's cats steady purring. I wonder what she named her?

"Looks like for the time being, I'll name you Snowie." I ran my hand up and down her small back through her soft fur. I turned on my side and laid flat on my back. Snowie crawled into my lap and purred even more making herself vibrate. "Aw. At least someone loves me. You won't ever leave me Snowie." Normally, I'm more of a puppy kind of guy. But Snowie was a good little kitty.
