I nod again. “Agreed. I don’t enjoy being here. Reminds me of all the times that I’ve spent here, only to be faced with harsh realities after. It’s not the place to be. It has an odd smell.”
“It does.” He agrees.
“Yeah, it smells like death.” Jagger says as he rests his chin on top of my head.
“Jagger?” I call out.
“Hmm?”
“Do I look like a fucking chin rest area? Don’t make me take away your ability to have kids.” I threaten. It’s an empty threat, really.
Jagger snorts and I move my hand grabbing his dick hard or what I can grasp. Jagger lowly groans and readjusts himself. He leans down to my ear, “the last time I fucked you I nearly sent you into some form of cardiac arrest, please don’t make me do it again.”
I laugh. “You’re an idiot, Jag.”
“An idiot who’s probably knocked you up by now.” He retorts.
“Jagger, please, I’m on birth control.” I roll my eyes.
Jagger kisses my cheek once and then he does it again. He starts playfully kissing my entire face until I’m jabbing and poking at him to stop while trying not to laugh so hard. I’m sure I heard Oran say something about going to get some fresh air.
“Jag, stop, you dickhead.” I say.
Jagger stops but places a kiss on my forehead. “We need to update your emergency contact list.”
“That was random.”
Jagger shrugs, pulling me back into his arms. “I don’t care. We’re changing it.”
I wonder what that’s all about.

Jagger is driving me crazy! It hasn’t even been two days and he won’t leave me alone! I want to sucker punch him for checking on me every two seconds and me having to repeat that I’m fine.
I take a deep breath in and release a breath out as I get ready to leave while he’s still asleep. Fuck, isn’t he supposed to be working and I don’t know leaving me alone?
“Where you going?” I hear his groggy voice.
“Out.”
“Out where?”
“O-U-T.” I spell it out for him.
He snickers. “Asshole. Anyway, did you take your pills?”
I sigh. “Jag, I’ve been taking my pills for as long as I can remember. I’m going to work at the bakery for a bit okay? I haven’t been there in a while and I’d like to check out my damn business for once.”
“Wait, I can bring you.”
“Nope, you cannot. What you can do is, be ready in a couple of hours for your dentist appointment, though. I’ll be back to pick you up.”
“I’m not getting in that goddamn Tesla™ with you. It’s too small for me.” He grumbles.
“Fine, I’ll take my range and come back to pick your over pampered ass up. Don’t you dare re-schedule.”
“Ugh, you’re annoying.”
