Slippery Slope Into Darkness
Please Review and Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Alicia.
Ch3: Naked
I wake up to Alicia shaking me, I'm so hung over. My clothes are still wet; my hair has dried so I know my bed head is something out of a catalog.
"I'm awake," I say knocking her hands away. "If you knew how hung over I am, you'd..." I say rolling over without finishing my sentence.
"I'd what?" she says rubbing my back.
"I don't know..." I say drifting between sleep states.
"I'm going to make something to eat," she says as my stomach growls. She puts her panties on and one of my shirts.
You got a girl
That doesn't look a thing like me
The girl, your mother always said it would be
So, you could say that, you could say that
I'm hopeless
But that ain't the girl
That ain't the girl I want you to be
The girl that keeps up
And I see in my dreams
So, you could say that, you could say that
I love her
I change into some gym shorts and a sweater, and join her in the kitchen.
I see her turning my stove and I walk over to her and kiss her on the neck, and wrap my hands around her waist. I lift her shirt and push it up so I can watch her bottom as she cook.
I sit at the table and pour us cups of orange juice. I grab some Tylenol making sure I bump into Alicia. I hear her drop the spatula but I don't look, I hear her to a little anger laugh.
"You think you're funny?" she says laughing.
"Yeah, a little." I say smiling at her briefly. I return my eyes to my cupboard to look for the Tylenol. I feel a terrible stinging on my bottom. I turn and Alicia hits me in the thigh with the spatula. I try to take the spatula but she hits me again. "Ouch," I say fighting laughing as she giggles. "Give it to me." I say trying to shield my sore butt and hip.
"No way." she says hitting my butt again. I decide to run and she chases me.
"Leave me alone." I say running around my couch.
"Come here funny man." she says trying to climb over the couch but I grab her and we wrestle and fall into a laughing fit. "You're lucky you're so gosh dang cute." she says squeezing my cheeks.
"Stop that." I said turning my head; she turns it back kissing me.
"Better?" she says running her hand through my hair.
"Better." I say resting my hands on her hips.
"You need a haircut."
"I know..." I say kissing her.
Tell me baby, will you be here when I wake up
Even with no make up
I don't want to fake it
And you don't gotta doubt a second if I miss you
Everytime I'm with you
I feel naked
"Oh shoot I forgot about breakfast!" she says as we both smell it burning. I laugh as she runs to the stove turning it off. Once breakfast was ruined we decided to make microwaveable burritos. We have already slept half the day away we might as well skip to lunch.
"Let's try to behave ourselves when we go out tonight." she says draping a towel over my shoulders. Every time we go out we fight, either with each other or others and sometimes both, but it's always her fault.
"Why are you saying that to me? You always start the problems." I said as she turns on the clippers.
"Really Nick? We both know that's not the case."
"Whatever..." I say opening a magazine that has Alicia in it. I'd rather not start fighting before we even go out. Alicia does a lot of good out in the community and is on her way to celebrity stardom and is using it for good, but people judge her because of the way she looks.
"Much better," she says pulling my head back while I was reading to give me a kiss.
We get in the club and I make my way to the bar. I hate going to the club especially with Alicia. All the guys stare at her and we are both jealous people and we drink that's why we fight. We are both jealous people yet we are aware of our other romantic relationships that we're in. I feel my phone and it's Lady Heather, I ignore it.
"Who was that?"
"Dr. K," she knows I work nights that's why she calls so late. I know I'm bad that's why when I do wrong I don't call her. Alicia goes to therapy and then comes over, she calls it baby steps, I call it bullshit but I'm not a doctor. Maybe it works for her.
Cause I don't care what they say
It's our life life life
We can dance if we want
Make it feel alright
Temperature's rising
I feel the fire
Tonight, it's just me and you
"Come on, you can drink at home. Let's dance." she says pulling my arm to the dance floor.
After a couple hours of dancing I'm bored and a little drunk. Her dancing is like teasing almost foreplay.
"I'll be back." Alicia says making her way to the bathroom. I check my phone and I have a missed call from Lauren, the nurse. I call her tomorrow.
"Hey," a woman said as I leaned against the wall.
"Hello," I said back, she was pretty. "What's your name?" I say, but because the music is so loud each time you speak you have to talk directly into the other's ear.
"Kayla," she says I nod. It suits her. "Are you going to tell me your name?" she says laughing touching my shoulder.
"I'm Nick," I say smiling.
"Nice to meet you, Nick."
"You too, Kayla. What you drinking?" she starts telling me what she's drinking and as I turn my head to listen I see Alicia dancing with another guy. "It was very nice meeting you, Kayla." I say just in case I don't go home with Alicia. I don't want to go home alone. I grab Alicia and pull her towards me.
"What are you doing?" I ask, last time we went out a similar thing happened except I was dancing with another girl and Alicia fought her.
"Go dance with your Barbie."
"Really we are going to do this?"
"You did it?"
"I was talking you are practically dry humping this guy!" I say when I feel the guy push me from behind. I turn my head and it's the guy she was just dancing with.
"You gotta problem, bro?" he says but before I can answer he tries to swing at me. I tackle him down and we start wrestling but within seconds we are broken up and I'm thrown out.
"Every god damn time!" I say brushing myself off as I stand. Alicia comes out
and looks at me like it's my fault which just makes me beyond angry.
"What is your problem?"
"I can't believe you! You would say it's my fault when it's yours!"
"How's this my fault? I didn't fight anyone."
"This time..." I say under my breath.
"Really Nick?" she says getting in my face.
"Yeah, really."
"You're unbelievable. I done with this, and you!" she says jamming her finger in my chest. I smile and wave goodbye to her. "You're such an ass."
"I don't understand why you are still?" I say, and she slaps me and walks away. I grab her arm and force her to look at me. She pushes me back.
"Come on." I say as a cab pulls up for us.
"I'm not going anywhere with you." she says crossing her arms.
"Get in the car!" I say, she does reluctantly and pushing me as she does.
If I told you girl
Come and run away with me
Now will you throw it all away for me
I need to know that, need to know that
It's not over
This happens every time we go out. Even though at this time we hate each other if anyone else were to get involved or hurt one of us we would defend each other. That's what dysfunctional friends do. You don't have to be in a relationship to defend each other. When we get back to my house we make up and soon forget why we were even arguing.
Cause you were the boy
Daddy told you to stay away from me
But you're nothing but a fantasy
I need to know that, need to know that
You'd be strong enough to believe in us
Extreme is utmost or exceedingly great in degree. That's me and him in a nutshell. Our fights are compared to world wars. Our bond is compared to that of great friends. When we fight you'd think we were arch enemies. When we are together you'd think we've been married for years. But when we are 'together' we have the raw passion and lust of strangers or lovers who haven't seen each other in years. I've told him things I'd be embarrass and ashamed to tell anyone else. I know if I ever needed anything I could call him and he'd help, and vice versa. I don't know what I'd do without him. If you fight like a married couple, talk like best friends, protect each other like siblings, then it's meant to be. - Miss Impulse
