The next morning.

The early slivers of morning light streamed through my window, momentarily blinding me as I stirred awake.

In the faint darkness, my eyes swept over the subtle outline of John's body. His eyes were focused on the ceiling, with one hand wrapped around my shoulder.

"Good morning," he whispered in a soft voice.

I snuggled closer against his bare chest, lazily smiling.

"So, is your depression cured now?" He asked, his eyes unwavering from the ceiling.

"Is that code for 'how was the sex?'" I asked.

"....Maybe."

I raised my hand my hand into the air above me as John intertwined his fingers with mine.

"You want my honest opinion?" I asked.

"Well.....yeah," he said as he finally turned his head to look at me.

"I thought it was ok. A little awkward at some points, but it was subpar," I admitted.

Silence filled the air as John's body went rigid beside me. I turned to face him, noting his shocked expression as he covered his face in embarrassment.

"John, that was a joke," I said, trying to stifle my laugh.

In the dark, I felt the strong heat that emulated off his face. I rolled on top of him, gently attempting to pry away his hands from his face.

"Come on, look at me," I laughed as I moved his hands. "You think I'd react this way if I thought you did a subpar job? Last night was amazing, really. You were good," I said earnestly.

John remained silent for a moment as he inhaled deeply, rubbing his eyes vigorously.

"Are you crying?" I asked.

"No, I'm not crying Delta," he said as he exhaled a heavy breath. "I was just thinking about how I wanted to crawl in a hole and die," he replied exasperatedly. "God, you play too much, and I fall for it every time."

I laughed harder.

"It's not funny!" He whined, his smile growing larger as he began to laugh with me. "I swear, you're going to be the death of me one day."

"Well, at least you'll die a happy man," I said as I kissed his cheek.

"You're right," he said before tucking my hair behind my ear.

"However....." I began, letting my eyes veer off to the side.

"However?"

"Now that I think about it, you were good.....for a virgin." I smiled wickedly.

John flipped me over before pinning my arms down.

"Well, practice does make perfect," he said softly as his teeth grazed my earlobe.

"Ah, yes," I said, wrapping my legs around his torso, pulling him closer. "Let's start with your favorite position," I whispered in a tantalizing voice.

He stared at me before a half hearted scoff escaped his lips. He rolled onto the other side of the bed as I settled on top of him, resting my head on my arms.

"What?" I asked with a lopsided grin.

"You're insane, you know that? We only had a few hours of sleep, and here you are, egging me on," he said as I pecked him on the lips.
