Sitting Up On Cloud Nine

Amber awoke to see the sun coming through the curtains and AJ laying in her bed. Sometime in the night he had taken his shirt off and dropped it on the floor. She still couldn't believe that he had spent the night with her and had kissed her.

She was so busy thinking back to the previous night that she didn't even notice when he woke.

"Someone's happy," AJ said rolling onto his back and stretching. She couldn't help it, her eyes were glued to his chest. "It's alright, you can stare. You know you like it."

Amber smiled and looked away.

"Now she's shy," AJ said propping himself up and kissing her lips. "Sleep alright?"

"Never better," Amber said smiling at him.

"That's good," AJ said kissing her again.

This time the kiss was longer. He positioned himself on top of her and continued to kiss her.

"You know what's amusing?" AJ asked as he kissed her. "I've never slept with a girl before I kissed her."

Amber laughed and AJ moved down to her neck. He wanted to move lower down but didn't want to scare her so he moved back up to her lips and ran his hand over her midriff. Amber held him close to her and kissed him back.

After quite a while AJ rolled off of her and laid on his back.

"I'm going to be in deep shit," he said laughing.

"No one said that you had to stay," Amber said.

"I know but I enjoyed it," AJ said winking at her. "It's not like they can fire me."

"What'll they do then?" Amber said looking at his body.

"Give me a tap on the wrist," he said smiling. "What are you doing Friday?"

"I have classes on Friday," Amber answered.

"Skip it," AJ said. "I wanna take you somewhere."

"Is it gonna be good?" Amber asked.

"Well if it wasn't I'd go by myself," AJ said caressing her arm. "C'mon."

"Fine," Amber said. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see on Friday," AJ said stretching.

"Tell me, I don't like surprises," Amber fought.

"Then you're not going to like me," AJ said sitting up. "I have to get going."

"No you don't," Amber said pulling his arm. "I like you here better. You'd make a good guard dog."

"I'll come by tonight," AJ said and then kissed her. "I have practice in two hours and I have to go see my boss before that."

"Just a couple minutes?" Amber asked.

AJ looked at her, kissed her quickly and then stood up.

"Do you work tonight?" AJ asked her.

"Not on a Sunday," Amber said.

"I'll come by around nine then," AJ said putting his shirt on. "Promise not to miss me that much."

"I can't make that promise," Amber said cuddling with her pillow.

"Don't make me jealous of the pillow," AJ said to her. "I don't want to have to hurt it."

"Would you hurt it for me?" Amber asked.

"I'd hurt anyone for you," AJ said kissing her again. "I'll see you tonight."

Amber waved to him as he walked out the door.

"Have fun with her last night?" Amber's roommate asked.

"What does it matter to you?" AJ asked.

"She needs a good fuck," she said. "That's what the little bitch's problem is."

AJ's eyebrows raised as he listened to her. Was she actually saying that to him?

"I'd start watching what I was saying about Amber if I was you," AJ said. "Don't talk smack unless you can back it up."

"Are you threatening me?" She asked.

"Don't think of it as a threat," AJ said. "Think of it as a promise."

Her mouth dropped open.

"See ya tonight sweetheart," AJ said winking at her.

"You stayed there last night?" Sonjay asked. "You get any?"

"It's not like that," AJ said as they walked into the arena. "She's different."

"She looks a lot like the rest of the chicks that you date," Sonjay said.

"But she's not like the rest," AJ said.

"I'll believe it when I see it," Sonjay said. Then they both saw Larry. "I might see you later if you make it through this."

"I don't think there's anything to worry about," AJ said laughing. "Hey Barry."

"It's Larry."

"I know," AJ said to his boss. "But I think Barry fits you better."

"Where the hell were you last night?" Larry said.

"Let me think," AJ said. "First I was at home, then I got into my car, pulled out of the driveway, onto Donwood, then I stopped at the stop sign-"

"Why didn't you make it here last night?" Larry asked interrupting him.

"Well if you let me finish my story I would tell you," AJ said.

"Then finish your story," Larry said rolling his eyes.

"So I stopped at the stop sign and when I went to continue on my venture to the arena there were two, not one but two, giant circus bears dancing in the middle of the street. I had no option, I had to dance with them, that's not an opportunity that comes up everyday."

"You're not getting paid for this week," Larry said and turned around.

"Why so harsh?" AJ asked. "You should be penalizing the giant circus bears."

"If I hear one more word out of your mouth you won't be on this upcoming week either."

"Don't torture the fans Barry!" AJ yelled.

"Why do you always do that?" Sonjay asked.

"Do what?" AJ asked.

"Piss him off?" Sonjay asked.

"It's fun," AJ said laughing.



"What are you doing out here?" AJ asked as he got out of his car.

"I wanted to talk to you," Amber said getting off of her apartment steps.

"Uh-oh," AJ said hugging her. "What's up doll?"

"What did you say to Krystal this morning?" Amber asked.

"Why? She couldn't handle it?" AJ asked sitting down with her.

"What happened?"

"She made some comments about you so I told her that she shouldn't be doing that unless she could back it up," AJ said.

"What did she say?" Amber asked.

"She was just spewing shit," AJ said. "Don't worry yourself about it."

"I can't lose her as a roommate," Amber said. "I need someone to help with rent."

"It's your apartment?" AJ asked.

"Yeah," Amber said.

He nodded and then looked around the parking lot.

"Let's get you inside before you get sick," AJ said helping her up.

"Just don't worry about her," Amber said.

"I'm not that kind of person," AJ said. "If she continues to talk like that I'll continue to give it back to her."

"Whatever," Amber said unlocking the door.

"You're not mad at me," AJ said hugging her from behind.

"You don't know that," Amber said waiting for the elevator.

"Yes I do," AJ said turning her around and kissing her.

He backed her up against wall and continued to kiss her. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed himself against her. She kissed him back but wasn't used to keeping the same pace that he was.

AJ took her arm and wrapped it around his neck. She felt her knees got weak but she held onto the wall to keep from collapsing. He pulled her away from the wall and held her tightly against him. He let his hand slide down her back until it was lower than even he expected.

"Excuse me," someone said loudly. AJ turned around to see a police officer standing behind him. "Not in public."

"My bad," AJ said raising his hands in defense.

"You alright ma'am?" The police officer asked.

"I think so," Amber said fanning herself.

The officer laughed. "Keep it private you two and have a good night."

"Same to you," AJ said laughing. Then he looked at Amber. "Told you you weren't mad."

"Let's just go up," Amber said calling the elevator again.

"That was fun," AJ said hugging her from behind.

"That was embarrassing," Amber said leaning against him.

"Nah," AJ said. "If anything that was hot."

"What?" Amber asked as they got into the elevator.

"You turned me on good," AJ said kissing her neck. "Let's go upstairs and do it again."

"In private or public?" Amber asked.

"This is gonna have to be in private," AJ said hugging her tighter.

"I'm not doing that with you," Amber said.

"Fine then, I'll do it by myself," AJ said. Amber's jaw dropped. "Kidding, or am I?"

Amber rolled her eyes as they got off and went inside. Amber walked to the bedroom but AJ smiled at Krystal.

"How's it going?" He asked. Krystal flipped him off. "There was love in that."

"Come on," Amber said pulling his arm.

"Bye bye," AJ said following Amber.

"I can't believe you," Amber said closing the door.

"I know, I'm unbelievable," AJ said wrapping her in his arms. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

He reached behind her and shut the lights off.

"What are you doing?" Amber asked him.

"Don't worry," he said kissing her cheek. "I won't do anything until you're ready."

AJ led her to the bed and they both laid down. Amber let AJ's mouth cover hers in a passionate kiss. When he wrapped his arms around her he noticed that once again she was only wearing a tiny tank top but at least this time she was wearing jeans. He positioned her underneath him and kissed her ear a few times and listened to her breathe, something that he shouldn't have done if he wanted to stay composed. He felt her fingers on his back and sides slowly tracing paths.

He started kissing her neck and feeling her body. He could feel her fidget but it was only because she wasn't used to being touched. He continued to kiss her neck until he could feel her squirm.

"It's alright," he said touching her arm. "You're safe."

He caught the light reflecting off of her eyes. She was so seductive and she didn't even know it. She was driving him crazy just being in the same room.

AJ let his forehead rest of on hers. He looked into her eyes as she looked into his. He quickly kissed her and then pulled away. He pecked her lips again and then once again looked into her eyes.

"Kiss me," Amber said.

"I can't," AJ said laughing as he pressed his lips together.

"Why can't you?" Amber asked as she can her finger across his cheek.

He kissed her finger.

"Because I know that if I kiss you I won't be able to stop," he said closing his eyes.

"And if I don't want you stop?" Amber asked.

"You will," AJ said looking around the room. "You're not ready yet."

"How do you know?"

"Because you still feel awkward when I touch you," AJ said. "You don't want your first time to be like that."

"Why do you want to already?"

"Because you're special Amber," AJ said brushing some hair away from her face. "You do things to me that you probably don't want to know about."

Amber looked around and then back at him.

"I don't know what you want me to do," she said.

"That's just it," AJ said quickly kissing her. "I love everything that you do. You're so pure and natural."

"Take your shirt off," Amber said.

"Why?" AJ asked.

"Because it's making me mad," Amber said. "I wanna see you."

AJ stood on his knees and took his shirt off.

"This is not making things easier," AJ said.

"Who said that we wanted it easy?" Amber asked. "Maybe you want it intense. Maybe you want suffer."

Before AJ could even think his lips were covering hers again. It was becoming more and more difficult to not scare her. He wanted her badly and it was becoming more evident. After a while he had to press himself against her but he quickly rolled off of her.

"No more tonight," AJ said breathing deeply.

"I don't think I could," Amber said rolling onto her side.

AJ looked at her and took her hand in his.

"What?" Amber said.

"You're exceptionally shy," he said playing with her fingers.

"Why do you say that?" Amber asked looking at him.

"Well it's not that you want to be," AJ said. "But you're reserved when it comes to touching."

When Amber didn't say anything he took her hand and placed it on his abdomen. He could feel that she was uncomfortable so he let her hand go. He gently kissed her lips and rolled her onto her back.

"Don't get scared, I'm not going to do anything big," he said stroking her arm.

He slowly slid his hand under her shirt and he could feel her stop breathing.

"Calm down," he said kissing her neck. He kept his hand on her midsection and his eyes locked with hers. "You can trust me. I'd never hurt you."

He slid his hand out and kept it on her hip. He could see her raise her hand and place it on his chest.

"You're gorgeous," he said and kissed her.

"You're like a whole new world," Amber said looking at him.

"That's a good thing," AJ said kissing her again. "Are you starting to feel more comfortable?"

Amber nodded.

"Good," he said. "Now get the hell to sleep because you have classes in the morning."

Amber smiled.

"Oh well fine," AJ said. "Turn around."

Amber rolled onto her other side and felt AJ against her back. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her shoulder.

"Wouldn't it be convenient if we could just take an arm off for when we sleep?" AJ asked her.

"What?" She asked laughing.

"Well one arm is always in the way," he said.

Amber nodded and yawned.
