“You don’ call me ugly anymore?” I asked him.
“That’s because you’re beautiful when you cry now shut up and go to sleep.” He roughly said.
He didn’t know but that night, I fell for the boy who protected me when no one else could and now I fell even harder for the man who still protected me no matter how long we spent apart from each other.

When we got inside the apartment, I walked over to the kitchen and got the ice out for her. I had my own packet always ready for when I was done working out. I sometimes lost myself in the moment and this would always sooth my knuckles after. I turned around and there Monroe was seated on the counter waiting for the ice.
“Here you go Rocky.” I placed it on her knuckles gently and kissed her forehead.
She scrunched up her face,
“Don’t call me that.”
“What do you want me to call you?” I asked her. “You want me to call you baby, babe, love, princess?” I said as I got all up in her space.
“Princess?” She laughed. “I ain’t no princess, I’m just plain ol’ Monroe Rodricks from Athens.”
I narrowed my eyes at her. I didn’t like how she said that.
“You Monroe will be the crown princess and then when I am King, you will be Queen. You may have been born in plain ol’ Athens but baby, you have never been plain. You are a gift to this world Roe. I want you to remember that. You are my gift.”
Monroe smiled widely at me and leaned closer kissing me. This was the first time she was so bold with touching me even with her lips. I smiled as I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her even harder. Our kissing was something I knew I would never allow another to touch. These lips that Monroe kissed with were mine to kiss, mine to watch as they pouted and mine to always pay attention to.
Monroe was the first to pull away as things began to get hot and heavy. I opened my eyes and looked at her. She smiled up at me,
“Can we just chill and watch something? I’d love to just get on top and ride the night off with you, but my head is throbbing and so is my hand. Who knew Essy had such a hard head?”
I threw my head back and laughed. I was glad she could joke about it, that meant we were slowly moving on with our lives.
“She does have a big head babe.”
“You ain’t right Dom.”
I kissed her once more before picking her up in my arms and heading towards the couch.
Not too long into watching a movie, Monroe fell asleep. I had to admit, this was comfortable, and I loved it. I hadn’t felt at peace in such a long time, I was tempted to just stay here so that she could get the rest she needed but I knew both of us would suffer plus I wanted to pull her closer to my body so that I could nestle in the warmth of her body. I reached for the remote turning the television off and Monroe shot up as if someone was yelling her name and her eyes popped open,
“I was watching that,” she exclaimed.
I snickered.
“Babe, you were out cold. Come on, let’s go to sleep in our bed.”
I stood up giving my hand for her to take, she didn’t hesitate as she took it and stood up with my help.
“Damn, this dress is tight as hell,” She let a breath out when we got to the room.
“Want me to unzip it for you baby?” My voice deepening from the thought of hovering over and being inside her once more.
“Oh yes baby. Take this damn thing off.”
“Say it again,” I groaned my command. I was surprised I could even properly tell her what I wanted to say.
“I said take the damn thing off.” She repeated.
