Numb

Opening my eyes carefully and cautiously to study my surroundings, I cursed out loud when I realized this was definitely not my bedroom but a posh, expensively designed hotel suite. Last nights events of me being such a responsible adult came crushing back into my memory, making my hangover twice as horrible as it was a few seconds prior.

What the hell was I thinking?

I groaned loudly, forcing my upper body up and holding my head in my hands as if it would ease the piercing pain throbbing continuously in my brain and make it to eventually stop. I haven't felt this terrible in days. I also felt like I just had an extreme lower body workout, even leg day was nothing compared to this.

I heard the sound of a door opening and closing before Tony appeared in sight and my jaw literally dropped to my lap. If he wasn't good-looking enough last night when I couldn't stop running my hands on the contours of his well-built athletic frame, he was definitely looking drop dead handsome now with only a towel wrapped around his waist, shower water still dripping from his tan, gorgeous body.

His lips turned up into a smile as he started walking towards me. Water was also dripping from his thick, tangled dark hair and I bit my lip, wanting nothing but ran my hand through it once more. I felt my cheeks reddened as I replayed last night's events in my head when I shamelessly locked my fingers in his hair when he stroked deeply and endlessly inside me, giving me all of him.

.......round after round

"Have you been always such a deep sleeper?", I could detect the humor in his voice. "I had to check for a pulse to be certain that you're still alive"

I laughed a little as I pulled the sheets to further cover up my body. He reached out and stopped me.

"There's really no need for that", his voice was firm and yet mischievous as he cracked a side smile. "You were not this shy around me last night"

I felt my cheeks burn to an even darker shade of red as I smiled nervously before shielding my face from him with my hand. I heard his chuckle softly but with a voice like that, his chuckle clearly resonated around the room.

"I'm normally not that freaky", I air quoted as I bend to reach for my dress on the floor. "I don't know what I was thinking"

I could feel his eyes on me the entire time. "Do you regret it?"

Do I regret mind-blowing, toe curling, legs shaking orgasm sex?

-I think not.

He had me singing his praises the whole night cause clearly he knew how to appreciate a woman's body, making my orgasms as twice as electrifying than I'm used to them being, touching me at all the right places to leave me begging for more. I was moaning sounds I wasn't even aware I was capable of making, holding onto the sheets like my life depended on it.....what really had me at the last second, was how he didn't just roll over and face the other way when we were done, he actually spooned me and held me in his arms for the rest of the night.

"I honestly don't", I laughed to myself as I experienced a flashback of the things he was doing to me. I always wondered what those feel-good hormones actually meant but last night, I definitely felt them all at once.

"Do you regret it?", I asked him, and he smiled before starting to trail his fingertips on my exposed thigh

"I regret nothing about last night", I could see my face reflected in his clear amber eyes as we locked eyes before he cleared his throat

"Are you hungry?"

Starving

"I'm really not that hungry", I lied, and he pulled a puzzled face as he watched me getting up from the bed very much covered in the sheets to put my dress back on. There was this tense feeling around my thighs and my legs were still a little shaky and wobbly, but they'll be alright....all in good time.

"You really don't have to go now, Liv", he stood to his feet, his tall frame towering above my tiny body. "We can order breakfast and use this time to get to know each other better".

"I'm not sure having breakfast together is a thing on one-night stands", I paused chuckling when I saw him looking blankly at me

"Is that all this was? Just a one-night stand?", he seemed surprised as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Last night was great, but I'm just not looking into anything serious right now"

"Liv, I just asked you to have breakfast with me. I didn't ask you to marry me"

"I know, I know", I heaved a sigh as I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Can we just act like last night didn't happen?"

Wow, Liv

"There's really no need for us to be awkward with each other now all of a sudden"

"I'm aware of that but we both were not in a great state of mind when we hooked up last night-", I realized I couldn't reach the zipper on my dress and I turned my back on him

"Do you mind zipping this up for me?"

I felt him draw closer to me and I held my hair up, his touch instantly sending shivers down my spine as he slowly pulled the zipper up, surely taking his time as if he knew that by him doing so, he had a tremendous effect on me. When the zipper was all the way up, he ran his hands gently down my back before I turned to look at him. I was already wearing my heels, so I almost met his height.

"Thanks", I smiled before I reached for my purse and extended my arm for a handshake. He chuckled as he took my hand in his.

"I really hope to see you again soon, Liv"

"I wouldn't count on that if I were you", I laughed as I broke our contact. "But I really had a great time last night"

"I did too", he reached for the drawer and took out a paper and a pen to write his number. "If you ever change your mind or just want to hang out-", he held the paper to me and I took it.

"Give me a call, okay?"

"Okay, cool", I smiled as I turned to walk away. "I'll see you when you see me"

He chuckled. "Bye Bella", he gave a little wave as I turned on the door knob and I waved back before I walked out and closed the door behind me.

"So you really left me there, stranded and high to bang someone you hardly even know", Anna crossed her arms across her chest, her lips turning up into a scowl as she gave me a disapproving look. After a hot shower of a long afternoon Sunday nap, I went to her place to please-let-me-explain my disappearing act last night.

"That's not how it happened exactly but yes", I nodded in agreement

"I'm really sorry", I pleaded, and she was still faking being angry

"I was just glad when you called me this morning to tell me you're okay and safe", I was about to breathe a sigh of relief before she suddenly grabbed me by the collar and pulled me closer to her face. "But if you ever, ever do that disappearing shit on me again Olivia I swear on my dead dog's grave I will never talk to you again, ever", she spat threateningly as she even put on her dangerous, vicious tone I quickly nodded my head and drew an invisible cross on my heart.

"I promise, I'll never, ever do that to you again", I grinned nervously, and she smiled as she released me from her tight grip

"Good", she straightened my ceased shirt, smiling like she just didn't threaten my life

"So-", she trailed as she wiggled her eyebrows at me. "How was the sex?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "It was good", a blush crept on my cheeks. "It was great", I then started giggling.

"Who am I kidding? It was fantastic"

"Well the glow on your face shows that your soul got a good cleansing last night", she winked at me and I laughed. "You must be pretty glad I forced you to shave those legs last night, aren't you?"

"Could you shut up and make me something to eat?"

"Alright", she walked to the other side of the counter. "So, are you going to see him again?"

"Tony?", I rose an eyebrow, and she nodded. "He gave me his numbers, but I doubt I'll ever call him. It was just sex"

"If a guy got me to have that grin on my face like you do right now, I'll probably have him on speed dial", she laughed

"Anna!"

"I'm serious though, clearly there must have been a great deal of chemistry for you to go home with him that easily"

"I wasn't thinking clearly"

"I wasn't thinking clearly", she mimicked me childishly. "That's not true, and you know it"

"Anna-"

"I'm not saying anything more, I'm shutting up now ", she put out both her hands in surrender before her lips turned up in a mischievous smile.

"At least you disappearing on me was actually worth it"

Later that evening when I got to my apartment, I was shocked to discover that the front door was unlocked, I was certain I locked it before I left, or did I?

I pushed it open, already standing back and ready to shout for help in case there was intruder, but then I caught a glimpse of Tristan walking around the lounge with his AirPods plugged in. I sighed a sigh of relieve before I finally stepped inside and closed the door behind me. The sound of the door closing must have gotten his attention because he turned, then smiled at me.

"I'm glad you could finally make it", he took his AirPods out

"How did you get in here?"

"The security guard let me in"

"He let you in?", I retorted. "You could have been a serial killer, and he just let you in?"

"Really? Does this face look like it belongs to a person who goes on killing sprees now and then?", he said smugly as he stroked both his cheeks confidently.

"I guess not", I turned my lips upside down in an impressed frown and he laughed

"If you're wondering how I got in, I convinced the guard that it was your brother, and I'm planning you a surprise birthday party"

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry

"My birthday is in five months"

"He doesn't know that now, does he?", he chuckled. "Come and sit next to me, I've got all your favorites"

My favorites, he meant pop corn, jelly babies, wholenut chocolate, cheese nik naks and chocolate mint ice cream

"You came all this way just to watch me eat these by myself?", I joked, with it wasn't an actual joke because I was more than capable of eating all of these alone. He laughed softly before I plobbed down the couch next to him.

"I came all this way to spend time with you and watch that late night show you love so much", he covered us with a blanket. "And to get you to forget about Greg for a while"

"I knew there were ulterior motives"

"Yeah well, you were there for me throughout my fair share of break-ups", he shoulders bumped me. "It's time I do the same for you"

"Thank you", I rested my head on his shoulder and I felt him place a tender kiss on the top of my head before wraping his arm around me

"That's what friends are for"
