The first perception of mines happened to be smell, a really nice, manly smell that for the past few days was all too familiar. All my muscles drawned me down like they weighted a ton, sore from all the drinking and dancing that I didn't remember doing. My head spinned and as I opened my eyes, there were bits of bits, like half a picture in a puzzle match. Kind of blury, but kind of clear. All I saw was brown.
„Mmm, what?" I murmured against it, realising from my other senses how a hand gripped on my ass and groaned next to me. Yet, I hardly moved, just my head a little to look closely to where I was. Kings neck was right in front of my nose, my lips brushing slightly on it. The alarm in my head went from there.
„What the fuck?" I jumped up in the bed, sheets rolling over my first half of the body, startling the giant next to me „Oww, oww, owww!" I couldn't help but put my hand on my head holding her for support. „The fuck did I do last night?" the throbbing pain roamed by every corner of the head.
King, on the other side, sleeply rolled over to look the other way, completely ignoring me. His back stood like a black canvas and all that outlined there were his stupid muscles.
„Shithead, answer me!" still showing me his back, he didn't move an inch just murmured something incoherent under his nose. I was mad and I just woke up. How agonized is that? I tried again „What?"
„Let me sleep." His voice made me clench my legs closer the second he opened his mouth. I hated that he had such nice elements there but had to be an ass. Just that voice, agh, come on, imagine what he does with that when he's not yelling at you. I couldn't because all he ever does is yell at me. I'm a sad girl, really.
„Tell me what I did." I demanded rolling him to look at me and noticing all the redness on his neck where I just laid half a minute ago. „Did I do that?"
I mean, I never knew that breathing next to someone can cause such a rash. I only ever had teddybears next to me, so I wouldn't be an expert there.
„No, some chick I banged." His response was a fast and furious kind, unexpectedly and all jumpy. I reached my hand to touch it and he moved it backwards „Noooo! It's a hickey!" I've explained to myself as if that was the most fascinating thing not paying attention at what he was saying. Sometimes, I can be a little slow okay? I just woke up, give me a break. Why didn't I remember him having a girl all over him?
„No shit." he didn't look interested in talking. He looked interested in ignoring me.
„Why don't I remember? Where was I?" I tried to recall some of my memories but it seemed like all of it flew out of my brain. I remember drinking like that once with Dan and we both ended up in some pubs bathroom, not knowing whom or what we did. It was like, the best night of my life. Anyway, that wasn't the point, clearly.
„Could care less." He turned around again, making this whole conversation thing a little harder. I pulled on my side, he pulled on the other. „Seriously, tell me. Did I do stupid stuff?" I fell over him from the pulling and ended up in front of his blue, curious eyes. One of these days, I'm gonna be strong enough to pull him with me and not the other way around. Strong and independed woman, yes. I like the sound of that.
He frowned like he realised something, analysing my face and what looked like to be a little bit under my face coughing a little „Yea, you were with a guy too." The 'too' word a little squeaky.
„Seriously?" I kissed someone and I didn't even remember? Hundreds of alarms ringed in my head, all red and orange and blinky. „Calm down."
„I'm not panicking." I lied gritting my teeth and searching in my blank space of a head for something, anything. How can I not remember being with someone? What am I doing in my life? Come on, how can I do this to myself. I'm not Jared and I'm definetely not King. „I can see you dying there."
„Who was it? Was he at least hot? God, did I embarras myself by doing that tongue thing my ex tried to teach me and I never got it right?" because if I did that, I'll dive myself from a cliff, no one has to do it for me.
King raised his eyebrow and chuckled lightly „No, he said it was great." The guy said what now?
„A what? You talked to him? Who is he?" I could at least find out the guys name. Not all of the people there, where from our Faculty and I sure hoped I didn't bang one of ours because seeing them every day, wasn't something I was looking forward to. I hate when I do a stupid thing and want to forget about it but people keep reminding you. Like that one time Dan and I pulled a stupidly, drunk prank on Klo and she wouldn't leave it for days.
„I don't know. Didn't ask." He shrugged nonchalantly, without any care that I sticked a tongue in some guys throat. „How can you not ask?"
„I was busy!" oh, yeah, he had a girl as well. Stupid thing of me to ask him to look after me when he would rather be the one to prank me all day and all night, not giving two shits about me. Almost forgot that, almost. „And just didn't care." He added so I wouldn't loose track o fit.
I reached out my hand and touched his neck lightly noticing how his body went stiff from the interaction. I didn't see his eyes or what they held but I was sure they were on me. „What are you doing?"
„That's so small. You fucked a monkey there?" sure, a hickey was a hickey but it looked like a chipmunk bit him haphazardly, didn't mean to but somehow did. Who bits like that? It lookes sloppy and drunk. „Yeah she is tiny compared to me." That made sense.
I nodded my head in understanding, he is so tall after all „Was she good?"
He didn't say anything for a second, watching anywhere but at me, although I tried to keep an eye contact, he sure as hell didn't want to. After I cleared my throat making him realise I was waiting for an answer, he seemed to be refreshing a memory and suddenly getting out of it by blinking at me „Yea, I didn't expect that." Probably some nerd since he ended up being surprised. Being him, he probably fucked half the Campus.
„So, you fucking her again?" I don't know why I was interested in his love life, khm, sorry, sex life, but it was a quiet morning and this was the first time we didn't have anything to do and we were in someone elses house. I hope it was Nicks and not some other guys apartment that we wondered in. That has happened too.
„What's with the questions? Leave me to sleep."
„Fine, sleep." I didn't know what to do with my head still calling out to me to take a pill or at least a glass of water but I had none and we were still in Nicks house because these walls weren't mines nor did it look luxurious enough to be Kings. „But-„
He groaned again opening his eyes to look at me, in the same position, with my leg across from his body when I rolled over and the other one underneath my head „Of course there is a but."
„Ha, ha. Can we go to yours? I don't wanna sleep here and when we get to my house, there's gonna be a lot of yelling."
He moaned „I forgot about that."
„Yeah, we gotta help that witch." All thanks to someones pride. Now, who knows what she'll make us do there. Like, come on lady, who needs a library your age? Just go to one, don't build one with hundred years of age. Jeez, some people. „But I don't want to."
He sounded like a child when you wake him up for school and he beggs you for five more minutes. All his hair stood out on various different sides, curl patterns here and there, his eyes closed and his eyelashes long. So long, I wanted to admire them.
„I know, it's all your fault really." And I messed it up so quickly, all the good interaction we had gone to the wind in a flash. He opened his eyes and I knew we would fight all the way to my house. At some point, I was actually glad because we didn't do this sleepy, too tired to conflict each other so let's be civil talk, we weren't good at that. We were good at having out own opinions and views and just yelling in particular.
When he started to rage on me, in the car to my house, I just smiled looking outside the window enjoying his shouting and mean, offensive vocabulary.
This is what we do, this feels like home.
"We need concealer to cover that up. This looks wrong." him and me, me and him having this on our necks. Nope, I don't need that kind of drama in my house now.
"I'm not putting make up on me." he argued, switching gears to slow down so the lady would cross the street and he wouldn't have to stop the car completely "Oh, yes you do. I don't care big guy, you becoming transgender for me, as long as we don't get questioned about anything."
"You wish! I don't have a problem with sex patterns. You do, your problem. I don't see how's that have to do anything with me." he is so self-concentrated that all I wanted was to drown him. I have a problem because I'm the only one who has a hickey on my necks. Typical.
"It'll look like we had sex." my green lawn came to a view and I still searched my bag for at least a powder, if nothing comes out of the stupid, small roundy thing I fancied wearing. In the future, I swear, I'm wearing the biggest purse on Earth to fit me all the necessities I need, not just keys and mobile phone. How stupid am I?"Dream on, you're never having sex with this God here." he cut the engine and sent me winky-wink face I'd gladly smash on the steering wheel. "Is that a challenge?" I smirked.
"It's a promise." we were in our one meter space, all alone, red and both mad, livid with each other but our mouths never shut. "I would never want to sleep with you as well so don't you worry there, your dick won't see this magic land ever, you hear me?"
King burst in laughter holding his fist in his mouth while I looked dead serious, I wasn't joking,I would never let him touch me like that nor would I ever want to touch him like that.
"Sure Bony, let's just go."
