One Month Later
I’m lying on the bed watching as Gabrielle gets ready to go out with Harper and some of her friends from her dorm. I’ll admit it’s been tough with her having to balance her friends and myself the past month. It’s been almost impossible for us to consistently spend the night together because it would probably raise about a hundred questions if she was sleeping over at my place every night like we want. We’d been lucky that Harper started seeing someone and it gave Gabrielle an excuse to sleep here under the guise of trying to give Harper some privacy but I’m over it. I want Gabrielle in my bed every night. Not just twice a week if I’m lucky.
“Hey, babe,” I call into the bathroom and Gabrielle comes out holding that little tool over her eyelashes that make them look longer. She’s wearing a black skin tight long sleeved dress that’s showing more cleavage than I’d appreciate and accentuates her delicious curves. Sheer stockings adorn her legs and the heeled boots she’s wearing make her legs look a mile long despite her height. I rub a hand over my jaw willing my irritation away as I think about all of the men that will be tripping over their dicks to get to her all night. Not that I plan to be far away but she doesn’t need to know that yet. “You are gorgeous.” I smile at her and she beams under my praise.
“Thank you,” she says with a curtsy and a giggle.
“Well, that was the respectable side of me. The not so respectable side wants to tell you that you look sexy as fuck and I want to pull that dress off of you with my teeth. Not to mention, it’s making me fucking crazy thinking about all of the men that will be staring at you.” I get up and stand in front of her towering over her petite frame and I pick her up into my arms like she weighs nothing and pin her to the wall, lining my cock up with her center. A gasp escapes her lips as I begin to rock against her. “The disrespectable side wants to take you over my knee and spank the fuck out of you for wearing this slutty little dress while I’m not around to put anyone in line.”
“But—”
“Hush,” I tell her before leaning down and running my tongue up her neck. “I also want to remind you that while your friends may want to attract every man within five miles with a working dick, you, Gabrielle Calloway, have a man waiting for the night to be over so he can eat your ass.”
Her mouth drops open and I seize the opportunity to slide my tongue between her lips. She sighs into my mouth and I devour her kiss before she pulls back. “You aren’t actually worried, are you?” She looks up at me, her eyes soft as she traps her bottom lip between her teeth.
I smile and shake my head. “No baby, I’m not worried.”
“Because I’m crazy about you, I would never…” she shakes her head, “entertain anything.”
“I know.”
“I love you,” she tells me and I nod.
“I know that too.”
She pinches my arm and gives me a playful scowl. “Say it back.”
“I love you more,” I tell her as I nuzzle her ear before setting her down. I smack her ass as she scurries back to the bathroom.
The words are on the tip of my tongue, and I almost swallow them down but I figure now is as good of a time as any. “You know, maybe it’s time to break the news to Harper.” Silence. “Baby?” I call again. I’m sure she’s speechless seeing as I haven’t broached this subject and I’m choosing to bring it up twenty minutes before she leaves for the night.
She walks out, her eyes wide and unblinking. “Like…tonight?”
I shrug. “You don’t have to but it might be easier to tell her after a few shots of tequila.”
She blinks her eyes in rapid succession and I roll mine in response. “You spend three hours a night sexting me and complaining how horny you are when you don’t sleep here, I thought maybe you’d want to finally clear the air.”
She scoffs. “Not three hours, and I only say I’m horny after the videos you send me of you jacking off and begging me to come over.”
“I don’t beg, you beg.” I give her a smirk. “You and I both know you’re not going back to your dorm tonight. Tomorrow is Sunday and we always spend the day together anyway.” Sunday has become a day we spend together trying to make up for the time we didn’t spend together throughout the week. We make love and we fuck hard, taking breaks in between for food. It also helps that Harper’s new friend usually sleeps over on Saturdays.
“That doesn’t mean it’s time to tell her tonight.” She bites her lip. “In mixed company.”
“Take her to the bathroom and break the news.”
“This isn’t something I can do in five minutes; she’s going to have a lot of questions, J.” She purses her lips. “What if she thinks I’m disgusting and doesn’t want to be my friend anymore?” Her lips form a frown and her brows furrow forming a v shape between them.
I sigh, knowing that she does value her friendship with Harper so I don’t want to say anything insensitive. “Eventually you’ll have to tell her. The longer you wait the harder it’ll be. And if Monica can handle it, Harper can.”
“Is Monica handling it?” she asks and I wince. I hadn’t spoken to her in a month since the day she found out after walking in on us. She’s talked to Gabrielle but she told me she needed time which I suppose is fair, but it’s the longest Monica and I have ever gone without speaking and I’ll admit I miss her. We never talked every day like Gabrielle and I did, but we did usually catch up once a week with intermittent texts of funny memes or relevant TikToks.
“She’ll come around.”
She nods but I can see the sadness in her eyes. “She’s been weird with me.”
“Give her some time. This is tough for her too, I’m sure.”
She leans against the door jamb of the bathroom and nods her head. “If the opportunity presents itself, I’ll tell her.”
