Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I woke up to darkness, it took me a few minutes to realise I was face down on a pillow but I gradually pulled myself up, I strolled to the bathroom, the tiles were cold on my bare feet but, I stopped at the sink and ran the cold tap, I splashed my face several times before looking up at the mirror, I looked like hell. I dabbed my face with a face cloth and threw it in the sink before making my way down the corridor, I grabbed a mug of coffee before falling back on my sofa. I could here the front door opening, I sighed knowing it was Taylor, I often regretted giving him a spare key,

‘Morning’ he chirped as he fell down in the armchair across from me, my head was pounding,

‘Jeez man you look terrible’ he teased, I frowned and sipped my coffee,

‘Tell me about it’ I groaned, rubbing my forehead, Taylor chuckled loudly,

‘So, you and Nikki ay ?’ he said eventually, I grinned widely,

‘She’s awesome’ I admitted as I stood up and pulled a t-shirt over my head,

‘Is she here ? Like did you…you know ?’ Taylor added with a cheeky grin, raising his eyebrow up and down, I chuckled and shook my head,

‘I’m a gentleman, I don’t take advantage of really drunk girls. Anyway, I’m meeting her again today for lunch’ I said as I checked the clock for the time, the clock read 11:03 am,

‘What time are you meeting her at ?’ he asked as he strolled of to the fridge, I laughed nervously and started to walk to my room,

‘In an hour’ I shouted, once in my room I shut the door and gathered some clean clothes from the closet. I entered the bathroom and turned on the shower, I stripped from my pyjamas and stepped under the hot water. I reached the address I had written down for Nikki’s house, I ran up the steps to the front door and rang the doorbell, I stood waiting at the door for a few minutes before I tried the bell again, I was about to press it one more time when I was interrupted by a loud banging noise,

‘WAIT WAIT WAIT’ I heard Nikki yelling from inside the house, I chuckled quietly to myself, I saw her running to the door a towel wrapped around her, she smiled and opened the door,

‘Sorry, I slept in’ she mumbled and pulled the door open further implying she wanted me to come in, I stepped in and followed her to the kitchen, I sat at the breakfast bar,

‘I’ll be two seconds, I’m going to go put some clothes on’ she laughed nervously, I laughed and smiled,

‘Good idea’ I added, she bit her lip and ran off out of the kitchen. She arrived back shortly in a pair of denim shorts and a tight white string top, grabbed her keys and her purse and looked at me,

‘Well, come on” she said, but my attention was on her back porch which had steps leading down to the beach,

‘Why don’t we have lunch out there ?’ I said eventually, pointing to the porch, she looked at me and grinned,

‘Really ? Oh thanks God, these heels are like torture’ she exclaimed, taking her shoes off, I began laugh, she frowned,

‘Why did you wear them then ?’ I asked as she put the shoes under the table, she pursed her lips and shrugged her shoulders as she fidgeted with one of the buttons on my shirt, she looked up into my eyes,

‘I just wanted to look nice for you’ she admitted, I grinned and placed my hands on her shoulders,

‘You could never not look beautiful’ I whispered, she smiled and pulled me into a kiss.
