Your phone illuminates a bright light as it buzzes on your nightstand, snapping you out of your unresolved grogginess.
Abby fb
Hey, you still awake?
You immediately rolled your eyes as you read the message, checking the time subconsciously, seeing that itâs just past midnight.
Abby Anderson, the captain of your collegeâs rugby team. The two of you met when your journalism professor assigned you a semester-long project surrounding womenâs sports on campus, forcing you to interview and observe her team. It didnât take long for you to find out how much of a hard ass she was, especially when it came to her team. She was strict when it came to meeting times, when you were allowed to watch them, what she permitted you to write about, and which of your questions were acceptable. Her childish groans and eye rolls anytime she saw you approach the field during practice grated underneath your skin. Her snarky remarks and annoying, monosyllable answers to your questions drive you up a wall. And she knows it. It was a mutual dislike toward each other, and neither of you were trying to hide it.
It wasnât until you had to meet with her outside of practice for an interview that an unknown thread snapped between the two of you. It felt like a blur; the pushing and shoving, the aggressive sloppy kisses, the gasping and swearing into each otherâs mouths, her hand shoving into your pants. Even now, you canât remember how it happened, or how it resulted in her texting you every time she needed to get laid for the past month. Or how you could never get yourself to say no to her.
You could just ignore her message. You should ignore it. Break the seemingly endless cycle of late-night hookups and relentless hostility. But would ignoring her make the verbal sparring worse? Would she be even more argumentative â if thatâs even possible?
no. itâs late abby.
Yet you still texted me back
Her smugness immediately lights a fire in your chest like a furnace. Irritation floods your body which only becomes evident by a heavy exhale through your nose and blank stare at the water stains in your ceiling. How could a person be so aggravating and smug yet always get what they want? Why do you always give her what she wants? Regret fills your stomach from even looking at your phone. She knew youâd respond. Hell, who are you kidding? You did too.
Come over
iâm in bed. iâm not leaving in the middle of the fucking night          Â
Then let me come to you
Memories from your past impulsive nights flash through your mind in a dizzying montage. The shame from wanting her gnaws at you like your molars gnaw at your cheek. You canât get the thought of her hands out of your head; her veins like lightning under her skin, her fingers thick and methodical, the callouses that press into your thighs when her head is between your legs. You press your thighs together under your covers as you desperately try to stop yourself from saying yes. Sheâs torture, humiliating torture. You should say no, tell her to fuck off and go to bed, but you canât deny the throbbing ache from thinking of her in your bed. Her mouth and hands knowing exactly what to do and how toâ
Youâre thinking about it
Fuck.
whatever   Â
That a yes?
just shut up about it    Â
Cute. Iâll be over in 10
Fuck.

A harsh knock echoes through your apartment, cutting through the quiet ambiance that used to linger. You shuffle toward your door in PJ shorts and an old tank top, rubbing your eyes as you navigate through your dark living room. When you open the door, you find Abby planted comfortably with her hands in her sweatshirt pocket. Her height and build never seize to amaze and intimidate you. Freckles dust over the bridge of her nose, spilling onto her cheeks which mixes with a pink hue from the brisk night air sheâs standing in. Her dark blue eyes looking at you as if you opening the door was the same as her finally reaching the counter after waiting in line. Sheâs truly gorgeous, which only makes your attraction to her more irritating. Her smug face painted with narrow eyes and a slight smirk meets your stare.
âWell donât you look adorable,â a sarcastic chuckle leaving her lips, looking you up and down.
âYouâre so annoying,â you say in a groan, rolling your eyes and pulling her in by the fabric on her chest.
She instinctively slams the door behind her as she stumbles inside. You crash your lips onto hers, not giving her a chance to say anything else that could make you regret this even more than you already do. Her hands immediately grab your waist to press you against her body, the warmth radiating from her makes her scent wrap around you. It makes you unsteady. Her slightly chapped lips glide across yours with expertise. She kissed you like her hunger was insatiable, not like the usual agonizing teasing she puts you through. Itâs different this time. Like sheâs been waiting too long. Even though you were in her bed two nights prior. She needs you, craves you.
Your arms wrap around her neck to pull her face down to feel her closer. She shoves her tongue in your mouth making you gasp. Her hands roam to your ass, a slap to your right cheek makes your gasp turn into a quiet moan against her tongue. Feeling her against you as she explores your mouth sends you into a frenzy. Sheâs good at this. Sheâs always been good at this. Heat rises through your body to your cheeks, you swear you could melt into her if she pulls you any closer.
âYouâre easy tonight,â her words spill from her grin like honey, filling your mouth with the sugar of her voice that tasted like vinegar. She lightly bites at your bottom lip, tugging at it and letting it snap back into place.
The whimper you let out is almost humiliating, the noise revealing your desperation to feel her skin against yours. Youâre scared to open your eyes. To see the satisfaction on her face from the pathetic sound you made. But when you did, there it was. Her grin. Her goddamn grin, knowing she won the battle between hatred and lust inside of you.
âFuck you,â your attempt to sound harsh fails as it comes out shaky.
âSoon,â her voice dripping in pride from how she affects you. She knows sheâs the best youâve had without you even having to say it. She knows she can get away with whatever mocking line she gives you. And most of all, she knows how much it makes you want her more.
Her hands grip the back of your thighs to lift you to cling around her waist. You connect your lips again as you tangle your fingers in the lingering waves that remain from the braid she surely wore earlier that day. She doesnât waste time taking you to your bedroom.
The dim yellow light of the lamp on your side table spills onto Abbyâs skin, casting shadows against her face, creating harsh lines that make her features stronger. It makes her look more intense, more intimidating. She drops you onto your bed causing you to bounce onto the edge. Youâre eye-level with her abs, not being able to see them because of her sweatshirt. Frustrated, you grab the bottom of the fabric and shove it upward to expose her toned stomach. Youâre too distracted running your hands along her sides to notice the condescending chuckle that escapes Abbyâs lips as she looks down at you. She quickly pulls her sweatshirt and shirt over her head, throwing them to the side.
You plant warm kisses along the contours of her stomach, her skin burning into your tongue. Her hands venture to your hair, raking them through the sides to hold it back. She groans from your touch as you bite and scratch at her muscles. You look up, your eyes locking on each other. Itâs hungry, wanting. Her head falls back with a low hum as you lick a long stripe up the center line of her abs.
âGod. Your tongue,â her voice like velvet.
A smile creeps from your lips onto her skin. She tips her head down to look at you again, one of her hands grabbing your chin to look up at her. Both of your chests heave from how breathless youâve made each other.
Itâs a moment of acknowledging what youâre doing. Knowing youâre â yet again â in the position that contradicts how you feel about each other outside of your bedrooms. Maybe itâs just you. Maybe itâs just the sleep depravity thatâs making you foggy. But you could almost feel a mutual understanding of how the other is feeling. Any lingering antagonistic thoughts you once saw across Abbyâs face vanished. You werenât sure how long this moment would last, so you did the only thing you could think of: freeze.
Her thumb slowly drags against your bottom lip as her gaze flickers from your mouth to your eyes. Your tongue peeps out of your mouth to meet the rough pad of her thumb, swiping across it and coating it with your saliva. She takes the opportunity to enter your mouth, allowing you to suck on it.
Her eyes lock onto your lips. Her mouth parts slightly, almost like she forgot she has control of her face. Sheâs too enamored by you. Your motions. How your eyes look up at her with your teeth grazing the bottom knuckle.
Fuck, you love her hands, her fingers. The feeling of her thumb grazing the back of your throat as the rest of her hand cups your chin intoxicates you, not being able to think straight. You begin to suck harder as your eyes flutter shut, wanting to savor the feeling and taste of her thumb. And as an attempt to erase the thought of whose thumb is in your mouth. The slight salty taste mixed with the taste of her nearly makes you drool. Â
You want more; grabbing her hand, you guided her to replace her thumb with her pointer and middle fingers in your mouth. Your tongue swirls around her fingers as she pushes them further into your mouth. The feeling sends shivers down your spine, eyes rolling back slightly. You feel a spark in your lower abdomen like a lighter trying to ignite a flame.
âHoly fuck,â it comes out as barely a whisper, shock and arousal filling her chest, not intending for you to hear. âYou like my fingers down your throat?â
You nod and hum against her in response before she shoves her fingers to the back of your throat, allowing you to swallow onto them. Another groan leaves her chest. She harshly pulls the hair at the base of your skull, making your eyes shoot open and her fingers slip from your mouth, leaving you empty.
Her face lowers to yours to invade your mouth with her tongue again. You graciously accept and moan into her from the sudden shift. She pulls herself off of you with a string of saliva following her lips. You watch as she strips herself of her pants as if they were on fire.
âYou gonna fuck me with that mouth?â she asks as she settles into your bed, shoulders resting against your headboard like she belongs there. Like sheâs been there a thousand times before.
You give a faux-reluctant nod, shifting to position yourself between her legs. Sheâs already dripping even without you touching her. The shine of her slick covers her curls and smears to her inner thighs. Youâve never seen her this wet, it makes you salivate. How long has she been wanting you tonight? How long did she wait to text you?
You drag your middle finger from her core to her clit to smear her further. A strong exhale leaves Abbyâs nostrils as her eyes shut and teeth grit together.
âDonât make me fucking wait,â she chokes out.
You restrain your usual quip followed by an eye roll. Mainly because you canât wait any longer. Feeling her against your tongue emits a moan from both of you. Her head immediately fell back with her mouth agape. Youâve only barely started, yet her breath is already shaking. You latch onto her clit with light suction, swirling lazy and pointed circles into her. The taste of her never fails to intoxicate you. How easily your tongue slips through her makes your legs quiver. Her trembling skin against your hands and shoulders encourages you to be more ruthless. Your tongue steadily laps at her swollen clit as you groan into her.
You canât help but feel pleased with yourself as you watch the boulder that is Abby Anderson gasp and shudder beneath you.
âFuck~ youâre always so good at that,â her voice breathy and quivering, unable to get her words out straight. Her praise takes you off guard. Itâs not her usual m.o. but you choose not to overthink it. She grabs onto your hair to anchor herself as her hips twitch and buck into you.
Your arm reaches around her leg to attempt to hold her hips down, hand pressing to her lower stomach and hip. Her harsh moan wracks through your room as you plunge your middle finger into her pulsating cunt, mouth still persisting and consistent. You look up to watch her face scrunch and head fall back as her grip in your hair tightens.
âPut another one in,â she rarely whines, but here she is, a gasping and whiny mess beneath you. Sheâd never go as far as to beg, but this is the closest she has gotten. Her words and harsh breaths feed your ego as well as the strength in your jaw and arm.
Of course, you oblige. Her shaking intensifies, grounding her heels in your mattress to gain leverage to grind against your face and fingers. The curl of your fingers turns her rigid, causing her to pull her bottom lip between her teeth so hard it could bleed. Her abs and arms flexing deliciously, the dim lamp defining her physique more. You canât help but notice the thin layer of sweat coating her body, the light cascading onto her and painting her gold.
âDonâtâfuckâdonât stop doing that. God Iâm already close,â she watches you as you continue to pump into her, curling your fingers perfectly and licking her clit with agonizing precision. Both of her hands pull you into her harder. Her hips grind harshly against your face.
You donât stop watching her. You canât. She looks magnetic with her eyebrows raised, red blotchiness hiding her freckles, lip quivering as her mouth gapes open, cursing under her breath, fighting her eyes from rolling back into her skull so she can watch you. Drool streams down your chin and onto your fingers, further lubricating your thrusts. Itâs impossible to tell where your saliva ends and her slick begins, both of them mixing into a concoction of pure arousal and primal need; the sloppiness only makes you more lustful. Tension builds and warmth collects in your underwear just from pleasing her. You moan into her core again, sending lightning through Abbyâs body.
You watch as her eyes roll back, only the white showing, jaw completely falling slack, and back arching at an impossible angle. Her shaking becomes uncontrollable, legs clamping around your head, cunt contracting around your fingers. Sheâs cumming, hard. You work her through her orgasm, occasionally feeling harsh twitches from her body until she became limp. When the sensation became too much, she pushed your head off of her and pulled your hair to bring you up to her mouth to kiss you. Her nose and chin slide against yours easily from the amount of each otherâs fluids that coat your face, sharing the metallic and sweet taste of her cum.
Your hunger is insatiable, the throbbing in your pants becomes unbearable and all consuming. Her knee pushes against you, shocking you as you didnât realize you were straddling her leg. A harsh breath pours into Abbyâs mouth from the sudden pressure against you, hands flying to her neck and shoulder to steady yourself. Her voice turns into a pleased hum that vibrates your lips.
âI canât believe you almost didnât let me come over. Youâre so eager tonight,â she lets out nearly as a laugh.
There she is. The person that constantly mocks you and uses her words to demean you. You wish sheâd just shut up. Itâs embarrassing enough that you let her in your apartment, let alone you basically falling at her feet as her cum is covering your face. Growing impatient, you grind down onto her knee and thigh, the contours of her quad creating the perfect surface for you.
âDo you ever stop talking?â
She hums in amusement, âNo.â
You roll your eyes, being reminded of why this is all it will ever be, why itâs all you want it to be,
âJust fuck me already.â
âBossy.â
She sits up fully and grabs the back of your legs to pull you closer to her hips. Your knees now flush against the mattress, scooting yourself to comfortably straddle her lap. Her hands find the hem of your tank top to yank it off of you, making your breasts fall and bounce slightly from the previous restraint. Without hesitation, Abby kneads one of them and takes the other into her mouth, teeth and tongue grazing your nipple. An involuntary gasp fills your lungs which makes your back arch into her touch. Your hands grab onto her neck and the sides of her face to stop the trembling of your fingers. She looks so at peace as your gasps and heaves continue to echo in the room. She removes her mouth with a pop from releasing her suction. Her eyes meet yours again, deep blue orbs completely covered by the black of her pupils, pulling you in deeper. You pull her face into a kiss to distract yourself from your stomach flipping.
Her hands slide over the arch in your back and onto your ass, cupping and grabbing harshly to pull your hips into a rhythm. Two hard smacks meet the round of your cheek again, earning a yelp from you. A grin stretches across her lips against yours from the embarrassing noise you made. Your pulse makes your clit swell from her agonizing touches. Her nails rake across your ass until she reaches your hips, leaving crescent shaped bruises where her fingers dig into you. Just another thing to remind you of the control she has over you.
âYouâre fucking killing me,â you whine into her mouth. You donât care how pathetic you sound; you canât take the teasing anymore. Sheâs always a fucking tease after she finishes.
âYouâre so dramatic,â she lets out in a chuckle or a scoff, you canât quite tell. You donât have time to figure it out before her hand suddenly slides into your shorts and underwear, where she halts her actions right above your clit.
âThis what you want?â asking as if she canât tell despite your gasp and shaky exhale.
âPlease. Yes,â your eyes squeeze shut to avoid seeing her shit-eating grin.
Finally, the large pad of her middle finger drags slow, agonizing circles into your bud. A heavy breath that you didnât realize you were holding leaves your throat. Her pressure is something nothing and nobody else can replicate. Why does it have to be her that does this to you? Her out of all people.
A string of quiet curses falls from your lips and into her mouth. Sheâs barely moving. You donât even have to look at her to know sheâs just sitting there, watching you. Watching you, with contentment on her face, become a puddle of frustration as you twitch in her lap. Your clit is still throbbing, her glacial pace causes your hips to twitch and grind against her to feel the friction you craved. Sheâs fucking infuriating. An involuntary whimper leaves your throat. Before you could try to recover from it, Abby jumps on the opportunity.
âAw. Whatâs wrong? Want me to go faster?â Voice drenched in her patronizing tone. Her breath litters over your face which allows you to smell the mouthwash she must have swigged before leaving.
Your pride has completely dissipated, proven by your rapid nodding and string of begging âyesâ and âpleaseâ. Another sharp smile stretches across her face in satisfaction as her eyes dart across your face to take in your torment. Suddenly, quick and methodical circles are being pressed into your clit. Your hips and thighs start to shake uncontrollably as your grip into her shoulders tightens. The pressure fluttering through your cunt and legs.
âFuck~ yesâAbby fuck,â you donât even know what youâre saying anymore, your words uncontrollable and drenched in desperation.
Your forehead falls to rest onto hers, eyes shut and lip clenched between your teeth as you focus on the sudden, perfect pleasure youâre experiencing. Before you can adjust to it, she moves her hand to plunge her thick fingers into your soaked cunt. They slide in so easily from the nonstop arousal youâve felt since you saw her in your doorway. The stretch from her causes sudden electricity to surge through your body. Your eyes roll back into your head and mouth falls open as you let out a humiliating moan. She groans against your cheek in response, other hand flying to your hip to guide you with her movements.
âOh fuck~ you swallow me so well,â her breathy voice, like gravel covered in satin, brushes against your ear, sending shivers down your spine.
Her palm grinds against your clit deliciously as you feel her fingers fill every inch of you. The pressure and friction build you up high enough to hold you at the edge. You start grinding into her hand, chasing the electricity you felt, making her fingers press deeper into you. The sounds youâre making would leave you humiliated any other time, but you couldnât care less right now as youâre filled to the brim with agonizing pleasure.
âKeep grinding into me. Donât stop âtil I tell you.â
You begin to whimper as your hips grind harder into her palm. She curls her fingers to finally press into that spot she knows too well. You involuntarily halt as your body trembles from the familiar jolt of lightning going through you again.
âGodââ
âI didnât say stop,â she interrupts your taste of bliss.
Your whimpering becomes staggered as you try to grind your hips again. Finding a pace is nearly impossible as every movement sends a wave of electricity from your core to your legs. She matches your pace by curling and uncurling her fingers which makes the knot in your abdomen tighten. It becomes too much, the never-ending intensity pushing you further and further near the edge.
âI canât fucking take itâholy fuck Abby.â
Her eyes burn holes in yours as she watches tears well in your eyes and eyebrows raise.
âYouâre gonna take what I give you.â
Her words send shocks through your stomach, making the knot snap. Your eyes roll back again, legs and hips trembling and shaking violently. Instead of steadying or slowing her movements, she begins to rapidly move her hand back and forth to vibrate against your clit and walls. Your eyebrows furrow and mouth falls open, body becoming completely rigid. Your head and face fall into the crook of her neck as your pleasure becomes unbearable. The aftershocks never come as all youâre experiencing is a hurricane of hot, white flashes and vibrations wracking through you. Her actions suddenly stop, leaving you shaking and trembling against her. Both of your bodies are covered in a thin sheet of sweat, sticking to each other as you heave into her neck and chest. Your legs are numb, toes tingling when you try to move.
She grabs your hair to yank you away from her neck and forces you to look at her. You jump as her other hand slides out of your shorts, completely soaked from the act she just committed. Fingers plunge to the back of your throat, making you take in the metallic taste of yourself. By muscle memory, you replicate your previous actions, swirling and sucking relentlessly at her digits. She watches you with continued hunger in her stare, eye contact burning into both of you. With her fingers still occupying your mouth, she pulls you in to share the taste of your cum. Your tongues collide as both of you lick and suck at her fingers until theyâre clean. She slips her hand away to grab your throat instead.
âIâm not done with you.â
This statement makes your body run cold, preparing yourself for the overstimulation youâre about to experience.
She grabs your wrists and pulls them to position your hands on your headboard. Sheâs completely caged in. Is she giving you control? She canât be.
âWhat are youâ"
Before you could finish, she grabs your hips to lift you up so she can slide down, positioning her face right below your heat as you straddle her. She lets out a slight chuckle from hearing your sudden gasp and seeing the blatant wet patch through your shorts. Your legs continue to lightly tremble as you fight to keep yourself hovering above her.
She reached her thumb up to glide down your slit through the soaked fabric âDamn, I really got you huh?â
âGod, will you just shut up?â
Her laugh bounces off your walls. She loves how easily she can get a rise out of you. Itâs almost too easy.
âCalm down. My mouth will be busy soon enough.â
Her hands grab your hips to pull you down onto her face as she presses a kiss to your clothed clit, making you involuntarily twitch. Youâre still sensitive and she fucking knows it. Her tongue flattens against you as she presses a firm, long lick up the center seam of your shorts. The sensation being a dull, prodding torture. You can feel her chin drag against your clit. Even while youâre sensitive, she still knows how to tease you and make you want more. Her touches are too muted, your shorts feeling thicker than before. More in the way.
âJust take them off,â you practically whine.
She hums against you, amused. Her nails rake against your ass before she spanks you with both of her hands. The harsh slap pushes you forward, nearly making you stand on your knees.
âGo on then, takeâem off,â she says this as if it were an obvious answer this whole time, patting the side of your hip. Pretending as if she wouldnât have restrained you for attempting to move over on your own.
You roll off the bed to finally pull the fabric down your legs. You can feel Abbyâs eyes scanning your body as your shorts fall to the floor. You actually get a proper look at her now. She looks like a Renaissance painting lying across your bed, golden light covering her body, emphasizing each and every line created by muscle. Like a Greek deity lounging casually as she impatiently waited for you to return to your original position. Youâll never understand how such a beautiful person can be so infuriating and annoying. You should know better than to stare. Her smugness rips through the moment like a razor.
âYeah, yeah. Stop staring and get back over here.â
You position yourself above her face again, watching as she gets comfortable beneath you. Her eyes meet yours again, piercing this time, full of something wicked that you canât quite place. Her eye contact doesnât waiver as she pulls your weight down for you to sit on her mouth. Her tongue connects with your clit immediately. Your eyes betray you and roll back from the sudden sensation. The harsh pressure against your sensitive bud makes your breathing unsteady from the buzzing in your abdomen.
You fall forward slightly, bracing the headboard as an attempt to ground yourself and give you something to hold onto. The new angle only gave Abby more access to your core and applied even more pressure.
âOh my god~â your voice drawn out, desperate, wrecked.
Abby hums against you accompanied by another hard slap to your ass, soothing it quickly with a squeeze. The vibration from her humming intensifies the pressure of her tongue and slight graze of teeth. You begin to shake again. Her hands knead and grab at your hips and upper thighs to comfort you through the intensity sheâs putting you through. The tingling travels through your legs again, rendering you useless from the unstoppable pleasure.
You start to grind your hips slightly, finding the right pace to inch yourself toward the summit you crave. Abby locks you in place, pulling you further down onto her, your full weight now resting on her mouth. She shakes her head side to side rapidly, creating steady vibrations against your clit again. The feeling shoots through you like a bullet.
âFuck fuck fuckâAbby fuck.â Youâre nothing but a gasping, moaning mess as Abby continues her rabid pace against your cunt.
You feel her groan underneath you, feeling and tasting every inch of you. You canât deny that you love how pretty she sounds like this. How she finds such pleasure from just touching you and tasting you. Your sheer distaste toward her only makes your body crave her more. Each stroke of her tongue, each moan that falls from her lips and onto your cunt pushes you further and further into bliss.
You start grinding onto her again, needing release. You sit up to grab her hair beneath you to steady her movements
âDonât stop. I swear to god if you stop.â
You can feel Abby smile against you, letting out another chuckle. While the chuckle sent annoyance to your chest, the additional buzzing is all it took to send you over the edge. The blinding, white, hot waves wrack through you again, making you tense and shake uncontrollably. Again, Abby doesnât relent, only persists. Her arms wrap around your thighs, completely pulling you down and preventing you from moving. Every time your body begins to fall limp, the pressure from your weight falling into her sends you into rigidity again. Your legs and hips shaking continued to push your body into her. Your moans and gasps become louder as the feeling does not stop. Finally, she releases you, allowing you to fall to the side, limp and heaving.
Abbyâs smug chuckle hits your ears again as she sits up to face you, eyes raking down the line of your back to your ass.
âJesus, I donât think Iâve seen you cum that hard.â
You donât even have the energy to snap at her. Your limbs feel like jelly. Small twitches thump against your skin. She collapses next to you, laying on her back with her arms up behind her head. Your eyes open lazily to see her face wet and shiny, your cum coating her chin. You canât help but let out a breathless laugh from how wrecked you are. You roll onto your back to stare at the ceiling.
âI think that was your best so far,â you say followed by another faint laugh.
âHow flattering,â she says sarcastically.
She sits up after catching her breath and collects her clothes. You watch as she pulls her shirt on, making you miss your view of endless valleys of skin and muscle. As each layer is added to her body again, her tough exterior accompanies it.
Itâs silent. Not awkward. Not charged. Just calm. These are the only times the two of you are at peace. Itâs nice. However, itâs fragile.
âCan you hand me my shirt and shorts,â you request flatly. You expect her to say something like âIâm not your bitchâ or just a plain ânoâ, but surprisingly, she tosses you your shirt without any snarky quip.
âYou need new shorts. Those are kinda⌠ruined,â she says as though itâs an apology instead of an achievement. This is new. âWhere are your other ones?â
âYouâyouâre getting me new shorts?â you ask puzzled and hesitantly with a scoff as you sit up.
âFucking hell, donât make it a big thing,â immediately annoyed.
Your hands fly up as a surrender, and instead of pressing further, you just point to the top drawer of your dresser. Again, without a word, she grabs a pair, holding them with her eyebrow cocked as a way of asking if they were what you wanted. After you confirm, she tosses them at you.
Pulling her sweatshirt on, she watches you dress. After your head pops out of the neck of your shirt, your eyes meet again, lingering longer than either of you would ever admit to another. Abbyâs the one to break it, diverting her gaze to the door.
âAnyways. See you later?â she asks as casually as if this were a study group and you were done for the night. Her lazy excuse of a goodbye.
âMaybe.â
Her eyes roll as she reaches your doorway, âWhatever you say.â
You can hear her footsteps lightly thumping through your apartment followed by your front door opening and closing. The air shifts, only slightly, but still noticeable. Your sheets are still warm from where she was laying. Her scent still lingers. You can still feel her against your skin instead of underneath it.
