You didn’t even leave a note.
Good lord, I might as well have taken out my tampon with that statement. She was probably laughing at my pathetic ass.
From her next reply, it was close.
Ally
Was I supposed to? Didn’t realize we’d progressed beyond booty call status to something else.
I gripped the back of my neck. Yeah, so she was annoyed. Whether it was because I’d fallen asleep right after or becausewe’d had sex in the first place was anyone’s guess. Only way to find out for sure was to piss her off enough to be honest.
I know you’re clearly unfamiliar with booty call protocol, but yeah, it’s good to let the dude know you’re leaving in case he wakes up with a hard dick and wants round two.
Her response was instantaneous.
Ally
Sorry, Charlie, that was a one-time event. But good luck finding a more suitable partner. I hear Tinder is nice.
Tinder, huh? You tried that? Is that why you couldn’t find anyone to finish the job?
Ally
Thank God you came along. Willing prick and all. You’re such a good Samaritan. When I can walk straight again, I’ll send you a thank-you note.
Pride surged first. I was a man, after all, and fucking a hot chick until she couldn’t move was pretty much every dude’s dream. But she wasn’t some random hot chick. This was Ally, and she wasn’t just a conquest.
She’d been a virgin, for fuck’s sake, and if she was hurting from my lack of finesse, I’d saw off my own dick. Okay, maybe take a swing or two at it at least.
Ah, to hell with it. I was asking, straight out.
Are you all right? Physically? I was rough.
Ally
Fine. Dandy. All good under the hood.
I didn’t mean to fall asleep. Laurie wakes me up every night & super-charged O put me down for the count.
She took longer to reply.
Ally
Just as well. Talking makes stuff messy. We did it, it’s done.
While I was pounding a dent in the mattress beside my hip, she texted again.
Ally
How’s L?
Don’t know. Haven’t gone to get her yet. Just woke up. I should’ve checked with Oliver first, but I was worried.
Ally
Don’t be. I’m perfect. Thanks for not making this weird, okay? Gotta go. Work calls. Give L a kiss for me.
Al, come over for dinner or something?
