Nick

Callie was moaning my name. The beautiful, perfect girl in the bathroom was thinking about me while she was… “Fuck,” I said audibly with a chuckle as I backed away from the bathroom door. My cock stirred as I walked back to the couch to sit down. I wish I hadn’t interrupted her. I should have just sat there and listened, but I didn’t realize what was happening until I had already knocked. It would have been very wrong to listen, but God, do I want to hear her moan my name again, maybe even louder the next time and without a door between us.

I draped my arm across my eyes as I lay on my back on the couch. I can't believe I was so stupid. After a few minutes, I turned the T.V. off and turned to face the back of the couch, trying to get comfortable. I am not short, and this couch was not built to sleep on.

I heard the water in the shower shut off. I got as comfortable as I could, facing away from the bathroom. I pretended like I was sleeping when she came out because I didn’t want to make her feel any more awkward than she probably already did. I neverwanted her to feel bad or weird about us. Like I told her, a few drunk kisses here and there was something we would be able to come back from. I know we can't be more than friends right now, no matter how much I wished that wasn't the case, but I can't live without her, so being friends has to be enough.

She put on some light music, and I heard her getting into bed. She must have drifted off to sleep rather easily because I heard her lightly snoring. Her snores were soothing, enough so that I finally drifted off to sleep as well.

I woke up to being jostled around. I opened my eyes to Callie standing over me.

“Come over to the bed,” she whispered.

Then I heard a loud boom of thunder and sat up. I was still pretty out of it and was rubbing my eyes.

“Wha—what? What’s wrong, Cal? What time is it?”

“It's only four, but the thunder woke me up.”

I was thoroughly confused. I clicked on the lamp next to me. My eyes took a moment to adjust, but there she was, standing in front of me, wearing almost nothing. I shook off the dirty thoughts that were forming and got back to figuring out why she had woken me up.

“What…what do you need? Are you okay?” I felt like I was asking the same thing over again. She pulled me up, grabbed my pillow and blanket, and moved it to the bed.

“Just come to bed, please,” she huffed. “You are making this more difficult than it has to be.”

“Fine, just let me use the bathroom first.”

When I got up, she let out a profound gasp. I immediately started looking around, thinking, once again, something was wrong. Then I realized her eyes were locked in on my lower half, where my dick was standing at full attention. I looked down and laughed.

“See something interesting?” I asked with a tired smirk. She was staring directly at my erection that had fully tented my pants. Her eyes darted back toward mine, and I saw the moment her walls went back up.

“No, not really. I just expected it to be bigger,” she smirked. “Now hurry up, put that little thing away, and get in bed so I can sleep.”

Another crash of thunder hit and she scurried over and got under the covers.

There's my girl.I knew the awkwardness would pass quickly. I walked to the bathroom, almost in tears from laughing so hard at her attempt to insult me. I’m not exactly sure where she’s expecting me to put it, but I have some ideas. It will go away on its own…I hope.

I turned off the bathroom light and walked over to the bed. She was sitting up with the covers pulled back for me. Then another crash of thunder hit and she sunk down into the blankets.

I slid into the bed beside her, laying on my back, not sure if she wanted me facing her or not. I still wasn’t sure what was happening or why she’d asked me over here. She immediately pulled the blankets over us. Her arm went over my stomach and her nails dug into my side like she was holding on for dear life. She pulled her head back to look at me.

“Jesus, Nick, when did you get so solid?”

I chuckled. “You have seen me with my shirt off a lot lately, Sweets. Plus, I've always been ripped. I work out every day. Haven’t you ever noticed?”

She rolled her eyes. “No, I haven’t. I don’t watch your every move.”

“Maybe you just need to touch me more often.” I gave her a sly smile and shimmied my shoulders.

She slapped my chest and scoffed before smiling and putting her head on me. Once she was settled, I moved one arm overmy head and the other under Callie’s head in order to get more comfortable. After a few minutes of silence, I thought maybe she had fallen asleep, but then she spoke.

“Thanks again for coming with me,” she said hesitantly.

“Thanks for asking me.” I pulled her in closer.

“Nick…”

“Yeah, Sweets?”
