Melony and Alex: Staying the Night?
Melony was a born procrastinator. She told herself that she was eventually going to try and do something about it but kept putting it off. That's why she waited until Thursday night before starting to do any cleaning in her apartment for when Alex was coming over in less than 24 hours. She might have even got it all done, if she was able to push through, but kept stopping to listen to her playlist. She did finally remembered to move Lizzo over to her sex playlist (named Turkey N Stuffin) to join Lovage's cover of "Sex (I Am)" and VNV Nation "Cold" (the r-rated version). It had never really occurred to her to actually play the list during the deed, she just found sorting songs into various lists relaxing. She'd wasted numerous weekends engrossed in the task and always felt guilty afterwards.
On Friday, she managed to get enough work done that she could convince her boss to let her leave a little early so she could rush home to finish getting as much straightened up as possible. She could have just gone over to Alex's place, but partially wanted to show off that she could, in fact, get her home in order (mostly) and secretly she had a nagging fear that if she went to his place so soon she would find out some dark secret that would stain the budding relationship before it could grow, like he had dead bodies in the floorboards or was really in to Nickelback or something.
With her noise canceling headphones on, in order to spare the neighbors her amazing taste in music that would most certainly drive them mad with jealousy, everything was going great until she got to the dreaded dinning room table. There her mind shattered in to each separate project laid out, forever to be unfinished. At least she'd had the foresight to clean herself up first before getting in to the task, because before she knew it, after getting sucked in to a project that was pretty close to being done, her phone started buzzing.
She picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hey," it was Alex, "You at home? I've been knocking and no one's answering."
"Shit, sorry! Yeah, I'm home! Had my headphones on." She jumped up (knocking her headphones to the floor along with a chunk of what she was working on) and rushed to the door, throwing it open and causing her blonde ponytail to swing wildly. Alex was standing there with his phone in his hand, slightly startled by the door bursting open.
"Uh, hey there. I'm not... interrupting something, am I?" he paused, his eyes admiring how the over-the-shoulder print dress she was wearing hugged her features and showed off her smooth legs.
"Noooo, sorry just got lost in a thing." Mel started giggling like that was supposed to be a joke for some reason then stopped abruptly. "Get in here sexy." She tried to cover up her embarrassment with a growl. The expression she got indicated her ruse hadn't really worked as intended.
"Yeah, okay... Tiger?" he said hesitantly, entered her apartment. He was stunned again as he looked around. "Wow, you've been busy!"
"Awww, I just did some straightening up..." she said humbly, basking in the recognition of her hard work. "'Swhy I had my headphones on."
"Did you find any hidden treasure, or lost civilizations?" he joked.
"No, just got stuck on a project again. Every time I get going on it my brain just wanders off on me and I don't even realize it until, like, an hour later." She stopped, realizing she was making herself sound like a ditz again. "So how was your week?"
"Good, I don't think Sharon," his co-worker and Melony's best friend, "has suspected anything. Yet. Other than that, been very much looking forward to tonight." He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, kissing her longingly. She returned the kiss enthusiastically. Her hands slid down and grab his butt, causing him to jump a little. She was already in a very feisty mood. "Someone's happy to see me," he grinned.
Mel reached down and rubbed his crotch. "I hope someone's glad to see me, too." she gave a naughty smile back. She grabbed his hands and lead him over to her now unearthed couch and pulled him down onto it.
After the initial shock of events, Alex gave in to her aggressive behavior and within a few minutes of walking in the door, they were making out, hot and heavy. Grinding in to each other, letting their hands explore the others body to make sure everything was still there from the last time they were together.
As Alex moved to re familiarize himself with her neck with his mouth and tongue, to which she vocalized her enjoyment, Melony's eyes absently landed on the table and the cursed project. Her attention was yanked away from the task at hand and began going over what to do next in the not nearly as pleasurable dinning table deterrent. After a moment of working the spot behind her ear and not getting the response he was expecting, Alex pulled back and asked, "You okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, sorry, just... was thinking about something." She tried to recover by going back to kissing his mouth, running her fingers through his hair, but her brain was off to do something else, despite ordering it back to what she wanted at the risk of being executed for treason.
Unfortunately the mental commissar couldn't get the troops in line before Alex pulled back again. "Hey, what's up?"
"I... Sorry, sorry. I just can't stop thinking about my project. I got going on it and now my mind won't do anything else and it's really really
frustrating
." She started to pout in defeat and irritation with herself.
"Well how far along with it are you? Maybe I can pitch in some and get it over with." he offered helpfully.
"That would be great, but I keep moving to other stuff and can't focus on it even when my brain can only focus on it." She started feeling like she was being weird.
Alex studied her for a minute (making her feel even more abnormal) before saying, "You have headphones, right?"
"Yeah, but I've tried listening to music while I do it, which sometimes helps, but now it just makes me distracted by the music part." She sulked.
"Well, lets try something. They're connected to your laptop over there?" It was sitting on the kitchen counter, still showing her '7 Dwarfs & a Sleepy Bitch" playlist. She nodded. "Hand it to me and then put on your headphones and sit in front of your project."
