I'm awake and my eyes are closed but I can hear goofy music and someone laughing. I open my eyes to see Nick isn't lying next to me, he's on the couch watching cartoons. I can see him lift a spoon to his mouth,
"Hey what are you eating?" He turns, bowl in hand and glasses on his face,
"Cereal, want some?" He lifts the bowl up and I shake my head,
"No, I'm not a cereal person." He nods his head and turns back to watching TV, its absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen, him sitting in the couch watching cartoons and eating cereal. I shake my head, you got it bad Quinn. Just then the cartoon characters begin to speak in Spanish and I laugh out,
"You don't know what they're saying." He turns and looks at me,
"I don't have to, it don't matter, it's cartoons." I raise my eyebrows as he turns back to the TV, the kid has a point. I sit up and pull the sheets tighter to my body and call out in a little girl's voice,
"I want some juice." He turns and looks at me with a smile as he places his bowl down and grabs the orange juice from the coffee table. I lay back and watch as he walks over, with nothing on but a pair of boxers and his glasses. I smile as I look at him from head to toe. He sits on the bed and hands me the glass, I lift my head and take a sip as he watches me. He takes the glass from me, places it on the night stand and leans over me once he sees my out stretched arms requesting his presence. I run my hand through his hair,
"Can I have a kiss?" He smiles and nod as he leans down and kisses me. I record every moment, every feeling, every sensation I can remember in my mind as I feel his tongue, so warm, slowly enter my mouth. I moan as his body completely covers mine,
"You know all the stuff we did last night?" He nods,
"Yeah." I trace his lips lightly with my finger,
"Can we do it again?" He laughs and nods his head,
"Yeah." He moves to take off his glasses and I grab his arm,
"No, leave them on. You look really good with them on." He rolls his eyes and shakes his head,
"You're crazy."
Nick was in the shower and I went down to grab something to eat. Standing there I know I have the biggest grin on my face as I daydream about my previous night and this morning with Nick. I can still see his face over mine, flushed, his damp hair, those glasses as we made love this morning. I feel someone tap me on the shoulder and look over to see Kristin smiling at me,
"Why are you smiling like that?" I shrug and grab a croissant,
"No reason." My smile just won't disappear, in fact it gets even bigger,
"You and Nick?" I laugh,
"Hey, have you seen the strawberry jelly and a little container of butter?" She pulls on my arm,
"Quinn!" I nod,
"Yeah, last night." Her smile matches my own,
"And again this morning." She squeals and the workers look over at us,
"It's about time, good for you." I nod my head and sigh as I try to decide on a banana or a peach,
"So um well?" I look at her with a look on my face as if I don't understand,
"Well what?" She sighs and places her hands her on her hips looking like a child,
"Come on Quinn, you know." I smile again and look over at her and roll my eyes in the back of my head as I lick my lips,
"Oh my God, I'll never look at Nick the same ever again."
