"I said don't..."
"Done sulking?" I chuckle, putting my head in my hand with a smile.
"...You're a mean witch..."
Moon Goddess, he's so cute when he pouts, I just can't resist. I smile more, and lean over him, very conscious I'm naked too. He sighs and finally turns around, letting me lay on his chest. We exchange a kiss, although he tries to act reluctantly.
"...You're not tired?" I ask.
"I'm good. Just hungry, as usual... You?"
"I'm good. I think I’ve still got our midnight snack in my stomach."
He nods, and we exchange another quick kiss before I grab my phone to check my texts.
"Kelsi's up and making those pancakes... We're on coffee duty."
"Roger that."
"...Do you want me to do something about your neck?" I chuckle.
He grimaces.
"Your teeth are not allowed anywhere near my neck for a while. Moon Goddess, I can't believe you made a bigger mess than me."
I shrug, because unlike his, my neck is completely fine already. I can feel the scar of his bite when I touch it, but pain-wise, there's nothing left. Unlike that ugly thing I left on Liam's nape... I chuckle, and lean over him for a kiss on his lips.
"I'm sorry," I mutter. "...Are you sure you don't want me to heal it?"
"Nope, I'll be a big boy and endure it."
"Okay," I chuckle. "Well then, big boy, shower time?"
"You can go first," he laughs. "I feel like my water bill isn't going to go any lower with you..."
Thirty minutes and a shower later, we are both dressed and ready to go. On a side note, if I spend more time at his place, I'm really going to need to bring some clothes over. I'll probably change once we get there, although I do like wearing Liam's shirts. We finally get downstairs, but once we are back on the bike, I can't help but remember the events of last night... I mean, the serious ones. It doesn't feel good at all, it feels like the calm before the storm.
I try to enjoy the ride with Liam, but this time, I just really need to get my head back into business. I feel like from now on, things are just going to get more and more serious... Only stopping to grab coffee for everyone, we finally get to the apartment, where indeed, Kelsi is cooking and acting all playful with Ben.
Ben's actually half-naked, and I realize once again he's tall, but not as muscular or big as I thought. Moreover, I see the large wound on his stomach, still bandaged.
"Hey, you two!" he greets us once we get inside.
"Hi, Ben..."
To my surprise, he comes and hugs me quickly, a large smile on his face. I'm a bit taken aback. What was that? Liam gives me a little glance to the side too, but I don't dare say anything. Moreover, as soon as he's done, Ben runs back to the kitchen to hug Kelsi from behind.
"Ben!" she protests. "I told you not to do that without warning, you're making me all jumpy..."
"We watched a show that was a bit scary last night," he chuckles. "Kelsi's so cute when she's spooked!"
"I'm not spooked! I-it's just that I'm cooking and you're all over me..."
Ben chuckles, but adds another kiss on her rosy cheek before turning to us.
"Coffee?" asks Liam, raising the tray we just grabbed from downstairs.
"Hell yes!"
