Chapter 4
I was sitting in my bed, with my oversized t-shirt, and panties, waiting for him. I looked up when his hand traced the contours of my face. His thumb traced my lips, his presence was intoxicating, invigorating. He pushed his thumb between my lips, I used my tongue to trace the tip of his thumb as if it were the tip of his cock. His other hand grasped my neck, not to the point that I was struggling for breath, but enough to feel the blood constricted to my brain. He used this hand to pull my face toward his. His lips pushed to mine, his tongue delving into my mouth joining my tongue in a dance. I pulled his lower lip into mine and sucked on it. His hand around my neck tightened, ensuring I knew who was dominant. I moaned into his mouth, aching for more.
BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZ
My alarm buzzes incessantly to the point of falling off my nightstand. I scramble to get it. My brain was so foggy, my heart rate elevated, my head still in my dream begging to be his. I got up, showered, threw some things in the toaster and poured my coffee. If I did not screw my head on straight and soon, I would be late to work, and I had never been late, it was a thing.
I ate my toaster pastry on the way, spreading crumbs all over my shirt, and also spilled my coffee on the way to work. I walked in just in time to clock in on time. I brushed past everyone not really noticing WHO everyone actually was. I stashed my bag, and grabbed my apron, favorite pen and order book.
"All aboard!" Emily, my closest friend at word said with a laughing smile.
"All aboard? What does that mean?" I was confused.
"You, you are the conductor of the struggle bus, well, I guess you would be the driver, conductors drive trains, not buses. Do bus drivers say all aboard too?" Emily always talked like her lines were written by Amy Sherman Pallidino.
"Em, I love you to the moon and back, but what the hell are you talking about?" I was getting frustrated both with my lack of ability to get my head on straight, and now Emily speaking in riddles.
She sighed, had a very Mrs. Weasley, exasperated smile on her face, "Babe, your covered in crumbs, you have a coffee stain on your shirt, and..." she narrowed her eyes at me, "on closer investigation, your shirt is inside out, and backwards..." her voice trailed off as her eyes saw my expression. "What is wrong babe? Something is making your face do that!"
She pulled me into the employee bathroom. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, my breath, I could not control my breathing. "Last night..." I began. I couldn't get more out.
"Last night...what? Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Hurt yourself? What is it babe? Whose ass do I need to beat?" Em was always so protective of me. One time we were walking at the gym and a guy slapped both of our asses. She turned, gave him the most threatening look, and began to raise her double walled bottle. I grabbed the bottle and her arm and hurried to another section. All this did not stop her from tracking his movement throughout the whole gym. He did not come within 50 yards of us, it was impressive. "Oh my god. Was it Tim?"
How the hell did she always know? I nodded. "He tried, nothing really...well not NOTHING, but nothing major...well.." my voice trailed off. "I am okay, I didn't give in, I think it just scared...I don't know, I can't talk about it now. I just need to get on, and move and do my thing." The more I talked, the more my head screwed on. I peeled my shirt off, inspected the coffee stain. Once I turned my shirt right side in and forward, no one would really notice it, and I brushed the pastry flakes off.
"You are good?" Em asked, holding out the pinky of her right hand. I took it with my pinky and shook.
"I am good...enough. No, screw that, I am great, amazing, fantastic," I said, expressing the confidence that I prayed would come and soon. She smiled and we went back to the floor.
