“Morning! I feel like shit! What did I drink last night?” I laugh nervously, hoping he can fill in the blanks. I can’t remember anything after admiring his tattoos.
But if I managed to sleep with Matt, I must have done something right. I’ve never had a one-night stand before.
He stands over me in his boxers, looking as delicious as the breakfast he’s just cooked.
“I left you two Advil there. I don’t know about you, but I’m starving!” Matt settles against the headboard, crossing his legs at the ankles, and starts to eat.
“Thank you! For the Advil and the food. You really didn’t have to—”
“You’re welcome. I was hungry anyway, so I thought I’d make you some too,” he laughs, and I blush.
“I’m going to guess you don’t remember much of last night judging by your face.” I nod, embarrassed, popping the Advil and washing it down with water.
“I’m sorry, I was so drunk last night—”
“I’ll break it down for you. At three this morning, you got a call from Carter asking where you were. You told him you were with me. He got pissed and you hung up.
We made out for a long time, things got a little heated.”
“So... we didn’t have sex?” He shakes his head, and relief washes over me. Thank god!
“No, we didn’t. Don’t worry, you would’ve remembered if we did. You were wasted beyond belief and I couldn’t do that to you.
Although you were super horny and it tempted me a couple of times, we didn’t do the deed. I only ate you out like five times. Gave you some hickeys, oh your body is sexy as fuck too!
But then your brother called too and he was pissed off that you didn’t come home. The two of them were threatening to kill me...so pray for me.
But your orgasm face was sexy as hell so it was worth it. Did you know you have a dirty mouth? Like, I wonder what it would be like to have sex with you judging from that alone.”
“Oh shit! I’m so sorry! You probably won’t see me again so you’ll be alright—”
“Why won’t I see you again?” He asks after swallowing a bite of toast.
“Well, isn’t that what happens? You never see each other again?”
“Yeah, usually that’s how it works. But I’d like to still keep in contact? If that’s cool with you?” He looks at me, chewing on his toast.
“Oh yeah, sure! I’d like that... sorry, I just don’t know how this works... it’s my first time doing this... staying with a guy... But, um, why didn’t we, you know?” I smile sheepishly at him.
He smiles back at me and I lift the plate, starting on the breakfast.
“It’s cool. I guessed that, but I wouldn’t have last night. Fuck, you’re wild... don’t take offense to this, but if you got with me to piss Carter off, it worked.
He was roaring down the phone at you. But you handled him so well. The best part was when you moaned down the phone at him. We weren’t even doing anything at that point but you really got under his skin!
But you passed out after the fifth time so we just cuddled. You’re a good cuddler,” he laughs, reminiscing about last night.
I sigh, letting out a small laugh. Fear creeps into my system as embarrassment washes over me from his recounting of last night.
“Well, I’m a dead woman! Trust me, I’m not the type to use someone to piss another person off. I could never do that to someone. I just wanted to forget about things last night and I clearly succeeded...
I’m sorry if you felt that I used you, I didn’t. You’re a really great guy. But I can’t date anyone. I’m not mentally ready to get back into that game again...”
“Hey, don’t sweat it, it’s cool. I enjoyed you pushing his buttons along with your brother's. But you’re a great girl too, we had fun last night, that’s all it was.
Nothing serious. It’s cool! But... don’t get mad, because I know you will. I can tell you and Carter both really like each other—”
“We don’t,” I mumble, mouth full of bacon.
