Sonic
"So many dragonflies!" Jules trots around a tree we were sitting at and tries to watch a dragon fly as it speeds away from him. Jules trips over his feet but still catches his balance and continues to run wild.
"This is nice." Sally says first and leans down to look at my face since I had not said much.
"Yeah." I say shortly and I eat a cup of pears.
Sally thought it would be a great way to try to get are marriage and family secure if we spend more time together.
So right now, I was watching Jules have the time of his life while it felt like I was being stared at like a movie.
"Sonic?" Sally touched my arm and I think her touching me was the only thing causing me to look at her blue eyes. "Do you remember when I used to make you flower crowns in high school?" She stood up as she talked and walked over to some random dandelions in the ground.
"I do." I watch Sally smile and pick up flowers.
Memories of us sitting outside of my basketball practice and her picking flowers while I waited for her parents to show up because was a cheerleader. Her parents always picked her up late, so I told my parents to get me around the time her's arrive.
And she would pick flowers and walk over to me after connecting and tying.
Placing the flowers on my head right after and calling me…
"Cute." She says and I stare at her eyes once more as she looks at mine. Sally eye contact struggling to stay with mine because I knew she was trying not to do something she had been doing for months so she blushed and took it off and showed me her work.
"I still got it. I'm possibly even better." She says and I look back to the crown.
"Yeah…"
Sally blush faded and sat right in front of me, grabbing my face.
"Are you only going to say 'yeah' to me?" She sounded annoyed and I took her hand from my face.
"What else do you want me to say?" I look down at my pears and I start to eat them, but her sigh stopped me from eating and she laughed softly.
"The things you used to say in high school." She says puts the crown back on my head. "Oh, Queen Sally… another crown? I told you I'm too unworthy to be your king." She tries to mimic my voice and I smile a bit as she reacts our childhood.
"And then I would tell you that you are qualified enough to be my king and you would look at me and smile like a little kid." She says and touches my cheek.
"And then you would say…" she leads me on, and I sigh and put the pears down.
"I would say 'Then when does our- "
"Forever start." We say together and we look at each other for a moment. The sun was setting behind Sally's head and I watch her eyes move close to my lips and then back to my face slowly.
"OUCHIE!" Me and Sally head turns from each other, and I see Jules's face down in the grass.
"Jules?!" Sally got up and ran over to him and so did I but as soon as we. Got up he did too and turns to us.
"Jules, you have to be more careful!" Sally walks over to him, and he had grass in his hair and dirt on his face.
"I WAS TRYING TO CATCH THIS!" he shows Sally a grasshopper and it jumps on her face, and she freaks out.
"AHH!" the grasshopper jumps right off and Jules after to catch it again and I try to contain my laugh from Sally overreacting, and she frowns at me, and I turn my head from her fast.
I try to swallow my laugh in but then that stops as I get tackled to the ground and I land on my back with a body on top of me.
"Is that funny?" she threatens me, and I laugh anyway because her face was still red from being scared and then her laugh comes out too, slowly stopping mine and I watch smile.
"I haven't seen that in so long."
Sally stopped laughing at herself and then looked at me as her hands were on my chest. We stare at each other and then Jules runs over quickly and plops on my chest.
"Daddy, eat grass! Quick!"
"Wait, do what- "
Jules dropped grass on my face and mouth, and I lean up spit it out and watch Jules smile at me.
"Grass is green like vegetables! It will give you strength!" Jules says and I smile pick him up with one hand and he squeals.
"You are right! Look at what I can do." I push Jules up and down and Sally slides off me and laughs at Jules tiny loud laugh as he got lifted and down.
"Daddy strong!" I lift him up and down quickly and then I stand up carry him in my arms.
"Mommy! Look at how high I am!" Jules waves at Sally as I raise him all the way in the air with one hand and he grabs onto my wrist with his small hands.
"I see!" she says, and I look Sally smiling at us both but mostly and then I bring Jules down and place him in grass.
"Are we still getting ice cream!" Jules grabbed my shorts and talks loudly.
"Yep! Let's pack up and go."
Jules takes off to the small picnic we had, and he helps us clean up and as we do I watch Sally smile and clean.
Her smile took me out of this world, and I forgot how long it had been since I see that but… how do I know this is true?
We drive towards the ice cream parlor, and we hit a red light right before our turn to enter the parking lot. I place my hand on my chin wait for the light to change.
"Today has been so strange. I don't feel mad…nor happy. Maybe I am in shock that me and Sally haven't argued in the three days. If I would have known that all I have to do is stick up for myself to get her to stop being angry with me then I would have been done it."
I exhale through my nose, and I close my eyes for a moment and then open them as the light turns green.
"I'm not even exactly sure why I agreed to this. Just when I was starting to get ready to let go…she pulled me back in… why. Why. Why?"
I park the car and let that thought wonder in my head and I smile and turn to my family and both of their eyes were closed.
They were fast asleep, and Jules was completely knocked out based on his drooling. I smile to myself, and I reverse and drive home.
Once I arrived, I turned the car off and Sally moved and yawned loudly and notice that we were home, and she turns to me.
"You took us home?" Sally rubbed her face while I got out of the car to take Jules out and put him in his bed.
"Yeah, you both were tired so, maybe ice cream can be another day." I unbuckled Jules and held him as I walked in the house, and I pause and wait for Sally to come in and she closes the door behind us.
I walk upstairs and places Jules in his bed and I stare at the grass in his head, reminding me to wake him up so he could take a bath. I walk out and I close the door slightly and I turn to see Sally…looking at me again.
"I think I might nap as well." She speaks.
"You should you were knocked out on the way back. You should. "I say and start walking towards the stairs, but I feel a tug on my shirt, and I turn around.
"I…" She looked at her grip on my shirt and let it go. "I had a great time today. Thanks for spending time with me. Did you have a great time?"
"She wants to know how I felt about today. After it being so long from me and her hanging around each other."
"It was different." I state and she nods her head.
"We should do it again… Maybe tomorrow? I made reservations for your favorite spot. After work we should go." Sally plans.
"More plans? … Just how many times are we going to do this."
"Do you want too? If not because it's such a late notice, then we don't have too… but I want you too."
"I'll just… leave work early tomorrow. We can go." I agree and she smiles.
"Great." Sally says and then the hallway grows quiet and there she is…trying to figure out what to do next.
"Maybe she is thinking about hugging me. Or kissing me. I know she can't do that. Sounds too good to be true."
"I'm starting on dinner. Go get refreshed. "I walk away from her because I knew she was going to stand there and figure out what to do so I decided for her.
With a slight frown on my face.
Next day
Another day. An important one too.
Today was going to be the day that I have contact with Texas again.
I walk towards the building and Ms. Rose was always there before me, but this time Knuckles was here early too and was talking to Ms. Rose as I approached them.
I watch Knuckles say something to make her blush and laugh and I cock my eyebrow.
"Good morning." I say and Ms. Rose head snaps up and her smile grows quickly.
"Good morning sir- "
"SONIC! YOOOO!" Knuckles interrupts Ms. Rose who seemed to want my full attention, but she was also very happy to see me here. I had been away from for some days so that means I haven't seen Ms. Rose since I ate breakfast with her.
"Hey, are we all ready for today?" I ask and Ms. Rose shows me my planner.
"Yes! Everything is going to go according to plan. Cream should be here in a moment and Missouri will also been on standby to give us any back up we may need once we started talking to Texas. I have also planned for anything they may throw at us. I gathered all the information of the emails Espio sent and then I have all the information about Texas on this folder. We will not have anything to worry about."
"Great job." I beam at her and pat her shoulder. "Let's get started.
Over the days, I gave Amy one task, to re-do the meeting room so that we could have an appropriate background sitting and a comfortable setting for this long meeting. I open the door slightly and see that Amy placed waters bottles on a table and there were papers and pencils placed near our table a small web cam standing front of a table and three seats. I was wondering where Amy seat was, but she probably was going to be walking around and taking notes behind the camera.
"Looks perfect." I say and Amy smiles and follows me to my office as I go there first.
"You already tested the camera?"
"Yes sir."
"And you triple checked on the time of the appointment?"
"Yes sir. I even called his assistant to make sure that 12p.m was a good time for them too." She tells off and I enter my room and see that its clean from the glitter and that it also smelled fresh in here.
"Thanks so much, Ms.- "
Ms. Rose hugs me from behind and I smile and turn to see the door closed and her face buried into my chest.
"I missed you so much. It almost makes me regret that idea of telling you that you should take more days off." Ms. Rose says, and I hug her back. "What did you do on your days off?"
"… Nothing crazy- "
"I…texted you. Ya know since you said I could if I wanted but you didn't respond to me at all." Ms. Rose says and releases me but stands very close to me.
"Sorry, I might not be able to respond sometimes due to who I am around." I say and lean on my desk.
"You were around Sally?" she asks and folded her arms.
"Well, yeah. I…" Ms. Rose started to look irritated, and I try to think what I was going to say.
"We took Jules on a picnic."
I wait her to respond, and she still was just staring at me. "And that's it, it was weird but- "
"I thought you said nothing crazy happened?" Amy walks closer to me, and her nose almost touches mine. "So, you two are… husband and wife again? That was quick..."
"Slightly but I still feel the same way I felt. Just yesterday I let her invite me to the picnic…date with Jules so I went. "
"Ooh, a date." Amy smiles to herself
I noticed how her voice was the same as I felt her become annoyed but at the time, she showed no anger.
When she acts like this it's hard to tell if she is mad.
She touches my tie and fixes while her eyes changed emotions. "What else happened?"
"Nothing- "
Amy yanks my tie and I lean down to her stature, and she twists it again around her fist and I look into her eyes.
"Sonic, I am a very…very possessive woman. Okay?"
"Y-yeah but I- "
She pulled my tie again and this time I stand up and bend over because of the grip she had.
"You said it would just be you and me."
"It will but you know divorcing someone isn't easy. There are steps and documents- "
"I know everything it takes to get divorced. Sonic." She put anger behind my name. "If you are trying to make me jealous then just say that."
"I'm not. I'm being honest with you. Seriously. You asked what I did, and I told you" I plead and seems like that wasn't enough for her to let go of my tie.
"As soon as I get time, I will come hang out with you- "
"Oh. So, you are still 'busy'" Ms. Rose grips my tie even more and yanks me closer to her face.
Amy lips move upward as she observes me closely. She kisses my lips and I watch her as she does so.
Her eyes open and she frowns because I wasn't kissing her back and I kiss her back, but it was too late as she pushed me back on the desk and still got in my face.
"Are you going on a date again? With her?" she asked, and I look off and she brings my eyes back to hers.
"So, you are?... Cool." She lets go of my chin and I stand up slowly as I watch turn and walk away.
"Amy, wait!" I whisper harshly and she stormed off. "It's only for a moment- "
"Why are you doing it?" she stops and turns around and I grab her hand. "You have a choice to say no. But you said yes."
"She asked and I didn't want to start anymore drama. It's really draining okay. Just trust my process and don't be mad at me. I promise, it really is you and me."
Amy stares at me probably trying to decide to slap me or to let this go and she releases my hand.
Not a reaction I wanted.
"I'll take you out later this week. And on the weekend, it can be you and me. Just let me figure this out. I didn't mean to make you jealous or mad. My life is really complicated right now, and I am trying to get it on track. So, I can be with you. Please don't take what I do to offend you. I wouldn't do that. You know that."
Amy listened to my words and then she started to blush making me laugh.
"Haha, I'm serious. You know I am. Come here." I grab her hands and her warm face touches my chest. I rub her smooth back and kiss her head and her eyes come up to mine.
"I'm sorry I have to be with someone else when I want to be with you." I touch her chin and kiss her lips and she kisses mine back.
Amy frown was fading away and I kiss her neck and she sighs and moves closer to me.
"I miss you a lot." She whispers.
"I know. I do too. "I leave long kisses on her forehead and then her phone alarm starts to ring, and she grabs it and turns it off.
"The meeting starts in 30 minutes." She says and still sounded upset that I was doing things with my wife that I could be doing with her instead.
"I don't want her to be upset for the rest of the day… But based on how attention needed she acts; I think I know how to at least make up for this."
"Babe." I say and hug her even tighter.
I listen to her gasp quietly and I smile as I look back at her face and her eyes were wide and shocked. "I'll spend time with you soon. I promise. So, let's go."
I leave and I listen to her follow behind me while we walk to the meeting room.
"Good morning!" Cream appears from the meeting room was dressed as professional as we were since we wanted to look nice on the web cam.
"Hey, you ready?" I ask and she scoffs.
"Of course. This is going to be a piece of cake." She says and looks behind me to Ms. Rose.
"Ms. Rose, I know you aren't nervous. Are you?" Cream peered behind my shoulder, and I look too.
Ms. Rose was smiling, and her face was still slightly red from what I said to her.
"I'm not. Sorry, good morning." Ms. Rose hugs Cream since they were starting to become better friends and Cream giggles and grabs her hand.
"Great! Let's go get this set up." They walk away and I catch Ms. Rose looking behind her shoulder and watching me before she disappeared.
I almost walk in after them and I see some of my employees barging in.
"Mr. Hedgehog!" says one of my staff and I stop and watch a group of them approach me. "Good luck! We know you can get the deal!"
"Yes! We will be right out here waiting for you, Mr. Hedgehog!"
Their encouraging words make me smile.
"Thanks. I will do this for all of you."
I turn to enter the room and as soon as I enter Ms. Rose closes the door behind me and locks it.
"Okay. Let's do this. And this time with help. I shouldn't have done all of these meetings by myself in the first place when I have so much back up."
"Then let's do this together!" Creams cheers and Knuckles cheers right along with her as they both sit down and then I sit in the middle and watch Ms. Rose walk around the room. Making sure the lighting was bright enough, the camera had a great quality, and our mic was clear so we wouldn't have to repeat ourselves.
"We are ready to go. Does anyone need anything?" she asks before joining the video chat room.
"Nope, let's get this going." I confidently say while sitting up better and then clearing my voice.
"Here we go…" she hits enter and then takes steps besides the camera the door because they were going to appear on the projector.
"Mr. Hedgehog is coming in!" Says Mr. Craig and I laugh already as my face appears on the screen as well. "GRANDSON! SEE LOOK AT HIM! Therefore, I brag on him all the time, James!" he says, and I see Mr. Hudson (company from Texas) drinking tea on his screen and smiles slightly.
"He does look professional." Mr. Hudson says, and he places his teacup and down and smiles at the screen. "Good morning, Mr. Hedgehog."
"Good morning, thanks for taking time to meet with me again."
"Psh, Mr. Craig didn't exactly give me a choice with how much talks about you. Young, hungry, and successful. Helping out other companies for years and your progress with Missouri… pretty impressive they are the top in Missouri now." He tells off.
"Majorly impressive! I've even had time to step away from the job because of how safe we are now!" Mr. Craig leans back in his office chair like Mr. Hudson.
"Hm, I can imagine the feeling. Not that I need help with my business but now I am just curious. How can such a young businessman achieve so much…. Also is your assistant still around or did you fire him?"
"He is gone. I have a more suitable one now so we can come to agreement with this deal." I say and he smirks.
"So, I am agreeing to this deal?"
"You are. You wouldn't have unblocked me with you weren't."
Mr. Hudson straightens his light blue coat with a white flower button up under it.
"Can I call you Sonic? Since you know for sure that I am going to go along with this deal we have yet to discuss. I'm sure Mr. Craig has told you a lot about how much we are really worth and now you are going to ask for more."
The room runs silent, and I place my hand on chin causally.
"Actually, I was going to ask how you are doing. It's been a while and I felt embarrassed from what happened last time but since you want to cut straight to the case, we can. But first I want to start over since I am sensing some tension in the air…. You don't seem like the person who likes to be disrespected and I agree with that. We were both disrespected that day by one person that stopped our beautiful start of a friendship." I say and Mr., Hudson face reddened as I smiled and talked.
"The name is Sonic, here beside me is my general manager, Knuckles and then my supervisor, Cream. We are excited to be in contact with you again. All of us. Now introduce yourself."
Mr. Craig was watching us intensely like it was a 4th quarter of a football game while Mr. Hudson blinked in confusion but then clear their throat.
"…James… You can call me James. My pronouns are also they/them."
"Cool. I'll respect that and sorry if I used the wrong pronouns beforehand." I apologize and James continued to stare at me and then rolled their eyes and shows me their phone through the screen.
"You have twenty minutes to convince me, Sonic- "
"Hm, I only need 10 but if you want to talk more after this then you have my number and email."
My words were smooth and knuckles even laughed at how I had this conversation in the palm of my hand.
"Listen to him! James! My grandson is such player!" Mr. Craig implies and then James was watching carefully and sighed.
"Tell me about your offer."
Thirty minutes later.
A smile is stamped on my face while I watch James hands move across the paper, I faxed him, and their assistant appears to take the paper after they signed it.
"Do you have any more questions or need any other information we didn't send you?"
James sucked their teeth and sighed again.
"No, Sonic- Why are you smiling?!" James yelled and I laughed with everyone who did too.
"You are funny. That's it. We should definitely meet once we get the chance. I'll take you out somewhere nice… or maybe you should be taking me somewhere nice with what we agreed on- "
"NO! YOU ARE TAKING ME OUT! You have way more than enough than we discussed last time." James threw their pen and stood up. "GOOD DAY!"
The voice call ends, and I didn't even get to have the change to say goodbye to my 'grandpa'… but I was going to send him a great email for helping out.
I stood up and stretched my arms. "That was fun- "
Cream hugged my side and started bouncing up and down and then Knuckles connects himself to me as well.
"Guys, just hold on- "
Ms. Rose then rushes towards the door, and I could see my entire staff standing, waiting for the news but then Ms. Rose tells the news.
Making all my staff charge in and they are running towards me. I get tackled and hugged, high fived, everything to show that we got the deal from Texas.
2 million.
We got more than expected a 500k to 2 million. That's more than we even asked but we got it.
The overwhelming amount of support from them made me laugh and almost shed a tear too.
I couldn't have asked for a better staff.
"Alright! Don't get too drunk! WE have work tomorrow!" I yell out as Knuckles leave with some other coworkers to go to a bar and celebrate.
I would have came but… I did have other plans and was running slightly late; I'll just host a celebration party during work and order everyone food.
I watch them leave and then once pink hair passed my vision, I saw that it was my assistant.
"Ms. Rose!" I yell after her and lock the door before I left my entrance and I catch up to her.
She continued to walk and then I finally get to her and then someone else calls her name.
"Amy! You coming?!" Yelled out Knuckles from his car of co-workers.
"Yeah! Just a second!" Ms. Rose turns slowly and grins.
"Have fun on your date and great work today!" She beams and walks off and I let her.
"She was still mad…"
Amy jumps in the car with them and gets swept in the conversation immediately and they leave together.
Seems like I overlooked her feelings again.
Right after my parking lot empties, I drive to my favorite restaurant which was just an Italian restaurant who made the best breadsticks and lasagna.
I had come here so much that I was friends with owner and their staff. I appear and I see my wife's car and I park beside her. I was about to wave at her, but her head was down in her phone so once I knocked on the door, it scared her slightly but then she smiles and unlocks her car.
I open it for her, and she gets up after grabbing her purse.
"I'm surprised you showed up late, basing it off that you love this place." Sally locked her car and we walked to the restaurant together.
"I was busy getting 2 mil from Texas." A smile was on my face after saying that and Sally grabbed my arm before we walked in, and she gasps.
"Texas? But I thought- "
"I thought so too but because I have an amazing staff, they make anything possible."
"Sonic, that's great!" Sally opens her arms like she was going to hug but then halts.
"This again…"
I play it off though, today was too good to try to get bothered with past problems, so I open the door for her and smile.
"Thanks for taking me out today. You look beautiful too." I compliment.
"Thanks… Sonic." Sally walks in and I decide to watch how she acts, since her eyes didn't meet mine and she was looking embarrassed but the way she was trying…made me want to focus on that.
"I'm not going to focus on past issues. Just focus on the now so you can get through this date."
We sat down and I could smell the Italian spices already.
We sat a single circular table, and our waiter walks over quickly, knowing it was me here.
"Mr. Hedgehog! It's been a moment! How are you!"
"Good evening, Max! And it has… I've been busy working and taking care of the family, so they take some of my time." I joke and Sally smiles at our conversation but still was thinking about her reactions towards me.
I could by how she sipped her water and stared at her menu we had memorized.
"What can we get you started with today- "
"I want to order two bottles of red wine; anything would be fine and our usual please." Sally spoke fast and took my menu from me and passed it to him and he took it slowly/
"Wine? Special occasion, aye?"
"No, just wanting wine."
"Sweet. That I will bring." Max walks off and I turn my eyes to Sally who was drowning her water.
"Wine?" I wonder her true reason for ordering it and shrugged her shoulders.
"Why not? We can celebrate your success." She says and Max comes back and pours the wine, leaving both bottles on the table for us to drink and then he leaves.
"Oh… Thanks. That's nice." I say and I grab my glass and raise. "Let's make a toast. For the better." I say and she grabs her glass and clinks it with my glass.
I sip on mine and then once I place it down… I watch her drink her entire glass and the grabs the bottle again… pouring it all the way and drowning it.
"Sal…" I was going to question her, but she drowns her third glass and then wipes her mouth.
"This wine is great!" Sally grabs a breadstick and I laugh awkwardly and eat one too.
"Let's enjoy our time!" she says cheerfully.
"Yeah…"
Sally had more glasses of wine and I literally only had three. We finished eating too and I thought that the bread and pasta would ease her drunkenness, but it didn't work at all.
"Whoo! We should order one more bottle! Max!" Sally yells across the restaurant and he comes over, but I stop him and her.
"No, we don't want another bottle of wine. Here, just let me pay." I say hanging my card and then a big tip because waiters were under paid.
"Thanks so much Mr. Hedgehog!" Max smiles kindly at the tip and takes my card to pay for our meal and I watch Sally dance to the song in store until she got up danced too.
"Wooo!' She yelled and others started to stare at us and laugh.
"Okay… Let's go." I get my card back and I hold onto her arm as she was too drunk to function.
I look at her car and sigh because she would have to leave it here and then we would have to get it in the morning.
"Sal, I wish you really didn't get drunk. Your car is going to here overnight- "
Sally wrapped her arms around me, and warm body pressed against mine.
"Sonic, you are so warm and big. You are like a teddy bear." She snuggles into my chest. "And you smell nice."
I had never seen Sally so happy in a while.
I place my hand on top of her head and smooth her red hair back.
"Let's get you home."
Getting Sally into the car was easy but getting her out when she was drunk was the hardest.
I park the car door and open it, walking to her side and she opened her arms to me.
"I'm ready!" she yells, and I take her seatbelt and grabbed her around her back carefully.
"Ready for what?" I watched her eyes roll back once she blinked and then she shrugged her shoulders and leaned into my arms.
"Ready to sleep…" she yawns, and I place her on the ground, and we wobble together to the front door.
I unlock it with one hand and hold Sally with the other, causing me to have to use my foot to open the door wide enough for the both of us.
"Ahh. I'm really drunk, Sonic." Sally reminds me and I close the door with my foot.
"I know you are." We walk further in the house and our babysitter arrives from the living room and cocks her eyebrow at Sally was laughing to herself.
"Hey D. Yes, Sally got drunk so just let me sit her down and I will pay you."
I place down and then take out the amount I usually pay her and then some more.
"Thanks, and Jules is fast asleep and bathed. Good luck on your wife." She says and walks, and I lock the door behind her.
"Good luck on me? I'm fine- *hiccup*" She lays all the way back on the couch and I grab her hands and she doesn't use her legs to stand so I groan and pick her up bridal style.
"Ooof." Her head falls back, and I lean it up on my chest and her eyes go to mine. "Sorry I got drunk."
"Haha… it's okay. Really."
I walk up the stairs and place her on the bed.
"I'm going to go check on Jules, sit here for a moment." I tell her and she nods her head.
I jog out to the hallway, and I peek in to see Jules sleeping like she said. I kiss his head and move his covers on him more and then I leave quietly and back to my room to take care of someone else.
Sally was trying to take her shoes off, but she had to bend over so I am sure she was feeling dizzy.
"Here I got it." I bend down to take them off and she leans up slowly to let me do so.
I take off both off shoes and I place them in closet and then I go in I come back.
"Stand up for a moment." I stare at the buttons her jeans and then I noticed she didn't move because she was watching me and then she gets up slowly.
I undo the button on her jeans, and she places her hands on my shoulders as I bend down and she steps out of the jeans, carefully one by one.
I sit her back down and grab the ends of her shirt, but she places her hands on mine to stop me.
"Um…" her face was bashful, and she looks off.
"What? What's going on?" I ask and she slowly let's go and shakes her head.
"Nothing…"
"…Even her being drunk is confusing." I continue to take off her shirt and then I place clothes in the hamper and once I come back, I see that she is in a matching set of purple panties and a bra.
My eyes move to her body and then back to her shy face.
"Oh… that's why she nervous. I did technically undress her."
I walk over to her anyway and place the shirt on her and her hair pops through and so does the rest of her head.
"Thanks." She says and I laugh and take my shirt off and walk towards my dresser.
"Not the first time I had to that, so it was nothing." I joke and she laughs too but then becomes silent behind me while I changed into my pajamas.
I yawn and turn around to still seeing her sit there and she opens her mouth then halts.
"Uh… Sonic where are you sleeping?" wondered and I slowly point out the door because I had been sleeping in the living room for months. "Oh- Right!... Uh. How about you don't do that anymore!"
"Don't sleep downstairs?" I question and she face palms and stands up, wobbling slightly and closes the door with me in it.
"Sleep in here tonight."
"Where- "
"With me!" She yelled and pushed me towards the bed, I hadn't been in for a while and turn around to her.
"Why… I think you really might be drunk Sally."
"I am but… I am asking you to sleep in here tonight. Please."
"Haha… but why do you want me too?" I ask again.
"I want you too. Please just…" She walks to the wall to turn the light off and then she opens the covers and looks at me." Get in."
I hesitate before getting in and I slowly climb inside it and scoot back to make room for her. She gets in too but slowly and we laid in the bed in silence.
This was awkward but I didn't mind. I forgot how comfortable this bed was and how much I missed it. It sank me in but at the same time it was the right type of firm, and I could already feel my eyes about to drift off into dream world until Sally turns around and faces me. Waking me up fully again and I stare at her deep ocean blue eyes, the same as Jules and she moves closer to me.
"Do you… w-want to cuddle?"
"Cuddle?" I ask and Sally sighed and moved closer to me anyways, her nose touched my shirt and her legs rubbed against mine as well. She rested her head on my warm chest closed her eyes as she got close enough to me.
"What is this?... Maybe this is her being drunk or maybe that wine she drunk was completely drugged and she wasn't being herself, but she is actually cuddling with me?! Do I… Do I just…"
I move arm around her back and sink into the bed more, getting comfortable and I pull her closer. Her eyes flung open, and I stopped moving her to me.
"Sorry, do you not want me to do that?"
"It's fine. Sorry for my reaction." She hid her warm face into my arm, and I continue to pull her closer and then we laid there.
Possibly hearing our racing heart beats and minds as we had done something I couldn't even remember how long it had been since we been like this.
I still felt skeptical about this but at least I got to sleep in this bed.
I close my eyes and I start to drift off again until Sally moves her head quickly and I open my eyes back up.
"One more thing Sonic." She says and her eyes were still shy, and I wait for her to speak.
"Okay…. What is it?"
"What is she going to say now… She doesn't want me in here? What could it be now…? What if she says she loves me…"? I start panicking and wanting her question to come out more because if she said that then I would have no idea. "If she does say that then I will try my best to give her a normal reaction-
"I bought airplane tickets to go to Bahamas when I was drunk."
"You what."
