The party had been winding down and honestly, I was getting bored. All the interesting people had moved on to the bars and only a few of my roommate's burnout hanger on buddies were still littering our living room. The music choices had gone south with this group too so I decided the record player on my nightstand and the joint in my drawer I rolled earlier were officially too strong a call to ignore.
Music selection for proper mood adjustment is serious business, and at 2 a.m. some shoe gazing is just about the only thing that will do, I decide. Hopping into the mass of blankets and pillows that is the abyss of my bed, I manage to liberate an arm to go digging in my nightstand for said joint. Apart from the mellow illumination of a lamp, the spark of my lighter adds to the warm glow of my room. Second reason for escaping the crowd, I've been horny as hell all night. I don't know what does it for others, but the energy of fun, of witty conversation, and a fine blend of some alluring people does it for me. I adopt the "don't mind if I do" attitude as the weed does its job pulling me into waves of relaxation, and before long my hands are caressing up and down my inner thighs. Exploring and gently tickling the fold where my ass creases at my thigh, lightly dragging my fingertips over my underwear hiding my nectar-y depths. Suddenly I hear a playful tap at my door.
"What? Wait, fuck, I mean, who is it -"
I'm caught off guard, stoned, and touching myself. I'm not at my most eloquent. An adorably genuine laugh I recognize announces to me that it's Theo.
"Caaaan I come in?"
"Yeap, don't see why not. I thought you'd left a while ago." I'm guilty of a few private indulgences in this moment and I'm sure he'll smell it on me but I'm too tired to really care at this early hour.
"Yeah well Rosy caught me out on the balcony for-fucking-ever as she talked me through one of her latest woke epiphanies."
"She's been having a lot of those lately it seems. You know she's crazy about you, right?"
"She's not very subtle. Hey, wait a minute Miss, are you holding out in here having a party for one?"
I blush before realizing he's just noticed the joint in an ashtray.
"Help yourself," I toss the lighter lazily so he has to reach to catch it. Taking a deep hit he falls into my bed next to me, staring up at the ceiling.
"Fun party."
"Yeah, John's friends are a bit of a yawn and they seem to hang around the longest but earlier it was fun. You headed out?"
"Why, are you kicking me out?" He eyes me playfully, "I'm in no rush." He then hesitates and gives me a bit of a weirder look, "though I did notice you were busy. I can let you get back to it, if you like."
"Uhhhhh," and a nervously too loud laugh is all my dumb brain can produce. "Well, I mean, fuck. I gave in to an urge... wait, were you spying on me?"
"If one is leaving the bathroom," he points, "your door left cracked open is the perfect angle to get a shot of the action. If you ask me, you wanted to be caught."
"I see. So you didn't linger then, before knocking?"
Now it was his turn to blush. He's about to say something when another knock comes at the door and Rosy's muffled voice asks if I've seen Theo.
"Fuckkkk, whyyyy," Theo whisper moans. "Help me hide."
"Hide?" I laugh and he claps a hand over my mouth.
"Emma?" Rosy tries again.
"For real, she's too much for me right now, best hiding spot, where?"
I point to the open window since his hand is still tight on my mouth and give him an impish grin as he hops off in the direction of the fire escape.
"Emma are you in thereeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
"Yeah," I call back, "Sorry, I had dozed, what's up?"
"Can I come in?"
"Yep."
"Have you seen Theo? I think he Irish exited, again."
"You know Theo."
"Uhhhhhgggg," she complains. "One of these days I will have my way with him." She leaves, head flung back in dramatics.
After a minute I call 'Olly Olly Oxen Free' to signal the all clear. Nada. I guess Theo must have done as he does and dissapeared and so I settle back in to continue my night.
"Shirt, beat it." I announce to myself, pull off my top, and fling it toward the opposite end of my room. Braless as per, I love the instant freedom of whipping my shirt off. Not a second later I hear a subdued laugh and a tap on my window.
"You rat! Tell me you're still out there."
"I'm still out here." Theo laughs some more.
"I gave you the all clear!" I chide as I bury myself under my comforter.
"The window locked behind me."
"Well?"
"Well aren't you going to let me back in?"
I think about it for a second and realize there's no smooth way to keep myself covered so I pull my massive comforter around me as best I can and shuffle to the window.
"Naughty, you." I chide again as I unfasten the latch. From the darkness outside I see his hand only for an instant before it comes up under my chin and without warning Theo's lips are on mine. The shiver it sends through my body nearly knocks my knees out. His kiss is intent, his lips lush, and his tongue soon finds mine.
"Wait, wait, waiiitt, what is happening?"
Pulling himself inside enough that he can sit on the ledge and face me he grabs my comforter and pulls me in to his hips, his legs press the sides of my thighs to hold me in place.
"I gave in to an urge." He cheekily offers up in echo of my earlier admission.
"I didn't know we had urges about one another."
"You always were the oblivious one."
I pull back and give him an incredulous look. "Noooo, you're fucking with me. Not awesome." I motion to move away and he slips a cool hand inside the comforter around my warm waist.
