Leif was surprised to find himself in Lynne's arms and it looked close to the afternoon the way the light poured in through the curtains. He wasn't even sure where he was at first, but before he even opened his eyes, there was no mistaking where he was, with her intoxicating scent.
She was still cradling his head, he could feel it, and hadn't gotten up yet. She was probably a little hammered from her own bachelorette party.
The next thing he felt was the hammering and throbbing in his temples, and the stinging in his ass. And, directly after that, he felt remorse. He'd been drunk as a lout and stumbled in to show Lynne his tattoo. He couldn't remember doing that, he bungled the shit all up.
He looked up into her big brown eyes, and she looked away from the phone she had cradled in her hand, smiling at him.
"So one of the things I got really good at was nursing friends out of their hangovers. And, since you look like you've been smashed to bits, and you're much worse off than me, I'll nurse you back to health," said Lynne playfully.
"Oh what a fool you must think I am. The Mankini's video...getting drunk off my ass, you're probably ashamed of me," he teased softly and he was only half joking.
"Hell no, then what do you think of me? My girls and me objectified ourselves and put on a wet t-shirt contest for your amusement. I think that you are a man who is about to get married and let himself have some innocent fun that isn't hurting our relationship or anything or anyone else. And fun was so lacking from my life before. Now the only question I want you to answer is whether you want to get away from everyone else for a little while, and have breakfast at Denny's or something or do you want me to fix you something. You need to eat something and soak up all that damn alcohol in your system," said Lynne looking up at him.
"You're mothering me. I kinda like it sometimes, just don't get too carried away. Thanks for not making me feel like such an idiot though," he teased.
"You're a handsome idiot. And your friends, and mother are being entertained. Matthew put the video up on facebook already and Linda has liked it," said Lynne collapsing into giggles.
"Shit! Somehow I think our children will end up watching that video," said Leif.
"Probably. But, hopefully not the wet t-shirt contest," said Lynne playfully.
"No, I...I got an app to safeguard that video, and your nice little pair. And I didn't even look to see what the other women were doing. I could care less. Honest," said Leif with a warm grin.
He stroked her mouth. She was so damn sexy and cute, even with his head throbbing he wanted to turn her over on her stomach and love her. Two more days!
"Leif I believe you. Never trusted a man more than I trust you. I would have been terrified of a drunk man before...well because my dad used to drink and when he drank, things could get ugly and I..."
"Shit, I forgot that! I shouldn't have been around you like that. It probably made you uncomfortable. Angel I'm not like him, I'd never hurt you, I swear it, I've been around you a little wasted before, but I'd never hurt you baby, you know that, you always come first, no matter what is going on," he added sweetly stroking her hair.
Now he cradled her. He wanted her to have the security of his chest.
"No! I wanted you around me like that! You never do that Leify, you're a groom celebrating your wedding in two days. If anyone can ever get drunk for once, it's a man about to get married. You didn't hurt anyone, or anything. And baby I needed to see you like that. Even completely drunk you are very sweet and you'd never harm me. It makes me feel safer with you. It makes me want my fucking even more. I promise you! I can't wait to be married to such a kind, loveable man. Gentle, silly fool even though he's drunk. Do you know how special you are? How rare? I knew I loved you right...right when we were together that first time after you spent the night, and we had that big fight and we were drinking and smoked that pot and...we were feeling all tipsy and high, but you were so gentle with me. You just kissed me and rubbed me until I came. I was scared of you so much until that moment. And then, you having so much self-control and being so patient, waiting for us to have sex, I knew you'd never hurt me. You never let me down. Not ever. So don't be mad at yourself for having a good time. You're a real man, the realest one I know," said Lynne sweetly.
"Oh baby, that...I didn't know you'd been carrying that in your heart for me...that...but knowing that makes me love you more than I already do...that...that you loved me because I proved to you that you could trust me when I was hammered. I'd never hurt you, you're such a sweetie, and you have the most beautiful spirit of any woman I've ever met. Hell you are a real, beautiful woman, inside and out! I hurt myself baby. I want you to take a look at it," he added softly.
He unbuttoned his pants.
"Yeah right, you hurt yourself alright. Just admit that you want your wifey to be to pay some attention to that fat, sexy cock. We're supposed to be waiting a few more days, but I guess it doesn't count if I suck it and kiss it a little since you kissed mine in the fort you made us," said Lynne playfully.
"You cute nasty little thing, no, I really did hurt myself," murmured Leif rolling onto his stomach.
He pulled down his pants and his boxers, exposing what he was sure was the gauze pad and sticky tape where his tattoo was covered up.
"What the hell? Baby did you fall after that Mankini video? I mean you all were drunk as hell. Who bandaged this up? It looks pretty good. What happened, a fall," she asked again.
She was so full of maternal love and concern he felt a bit guilty for fooling her. He nurtured her in the relationship sure, but she did her own sweet nurturing as well, which made him always love to come home to her arms.
"I had a big, big, nasty fall. A huge fall I don't ever think I'm gonna get over. Pull that bandage off and you'll see. It's never gonna heal, so I did the best thing I could do under the circumstances,"
The only thing that was wrong with his plan was that he could not look into her pretty eyes.
She gently peeled off all the tape first. Damn, Lynne was so meticulous. Most people would have removed the gauze once they had enough tape gone.
Then she peeled back the gauze once the tape was gone.
"Baby that's my name on your Ass! My married name! And our wedding date! Baby really? It's so beautiful! I don't know what to say. The key and the heart. Leify that's gorgeous! I'm so flattered. Can I touch it?" she asked softly.
