The sun is coming up and I don't care at all.
I feel good for the first time in a long time. After Billy's explanation and little gift, I figured, in more ways than one, that he was worth a shot. And so I stayed all night. Most of the late/early hours of the morning we spend rolling around his bed moaning and aggressively humping each other's brains out.
In the end I'm on my stomach, staring at him as he lays on his back, arm behind his head, smoking a cigarette with the most satisfied look in his barely opened eyes.
"I should go home." I mumble closing my eyes and sighing deeply.
He moves an arm around my waist and holds me tighter, saying no without speaking a word.
Smirking I ask, "You want me to stay?"
His eyes flicker down to me for a moment before he looks up as he blows 'O's with the smoke form his cigarette. He holds me a bit tighter and still says nothing else.
Just to fuck with him I start to sit up a bit as if I was leaving.
"Be still." He grumbles forcing me back down with a minimal flex of his brawny arm.
"Grab me my phone then." I say lying beside him on the bed.
Grunting he sits up and grabs my new phone from the box on the floor. Placing it on my bare stomach he watches as I grab it and turn it on. I go through the settings of it all and start adding numbers I'd memorized to the contact list.
"What's your new number?" I ask.
Billy takes the phone from me and enters his number quicker than I did any of the rest of them.
"I'll have to be careful around my mother with this." I mutter.
"For what?" Billy asks.
I look up at him with a raised brow, "Uhm because she doesn't even know I'm seeing someone."
"Tell'er." he replies with a shrug taking another puff.
My eyes go wide and I look at him like he grew another head.
"Tell her? Just casually tell her I'm dating Billy Darley?"
He holds out the cigarette to me as he blows out the last of his smoke. I shake my head no and he put it out on the floor. The light shining through the window catches the smoke and holds my attention for a moment.
"You ashamed?" he asks.
I sit up a bit on my elbows and shake my head no vigorously.
"Of course not. It's just...well you know."
How do I go about explaining to him that my mother would be less than happy with the fact that I'm with him. A notorious drug dealer and gang leader.
He shrugs again and doesn't say anything further.
"You want to meet my mother?" I ask in complete shock.
"Not necessarily, but I aint sneakin' around like a kid either."
"So what you want to be able to hold my hand in public or something?" I ask grinning at him.
He rolls his eyes and replies, "That's exactly why Reese." His sarcastic tone makes me laugh. Only with him I think the sarcasm isn't even a little annoying. Partly because he never jokes around otherwise, making his humor this mysterious and obscure occurrence that I'm always looking forward to. Even his sense of humor is sexy...
"I'm serious. You want to meet her?" I ask.
He shrugs again making me suck my teeth.
"You know what. Never mind, I think we should wait anyway."
"Wait for what?" he grouses moving me closer, cradling me to his tattooed chest.
"To see how this whole thing plays out of course. I'd feel like an asshole if I introduced you two and a month later you got sick of me."
Billy doesn't say anything and I have to look up at him to realize his reaction. And he didn't like what I said one bit. The frown on my lips makes me frown.
"What did I say?" I ask.
"That. You keep sayin' shit like that. How many times I hafta tell you I don't do this?" he asks looking me in the eye with a deadly serious expression on his face.
"Don't do what? Relationships? I know, that's what I'm saying." I nod.
He shakes his head no, "If I wanted fuck all t'do with ya, you'd know it."
I guess I'm supposed to take that as a compliment.
"Do you know what this means?" I ask.
He gives me a questioning look and I clear my throat and say, "It means that you and I aren't just messing around, or hanging out…And you won't do this," I say referring to our nude bodies, "With anyone else…It's called monogamy." I add looking him dead in the eye.
He doesn't seem fazed by the word or anything else I've said.
"Would ya spit it out already," he snaps.
I bite my lip hard and clear my throat, "You're my boyfriend?" I meant for it to be a statement, but nothing is ever really set in stone until he says.
Unexpectedly, and I mean I'd never have expected to see this in a million, trillion years, his lips break into a small smirk. In the seconds that follow a smile grows and his sharp white teeth make an appearance.
I smile back and hide my face in my hands against his chest, blushing.
He chuckles deeply and rubs my shoulder with his fingertips, trailing down my spine.
"That means you have to do boyfriend things you know?" I add laying my cheek back on his skin.
"Don't expect no fuckin' flowers," he keeps a light tone to his voice, relaxed.
It's nice hearing him that way, seeing him without the years of stress added to his face when he's out in the world.
"No like, pet names and cookin' me breakfast," I reply knowing full and well these things are alien to Billy.
"I don't cook" he retorts blandly, "And I'll call ya sweet ass." his filthy tone is matched by his hand gripping my butt and smacking it. I wiggle and smack his hand back.
"Asshole," I mutter.
"So ya know what this means too right?" he asks.
I raise a brow, "What?"
"None'a that grab ass shit with ya little friends."
"I told you it wasn't like that-"
"I aint blind Reese, you were all in his face."
"Only because he's like my best friend and I haven't seen him in literally years." I reply keeping my composure, very surprisingly.
"I don't really care." He replies stubbornly with a very passive shrug. I want to hit him.
"So what are you gonna break up with me if I hug my friend?"
"Don't be stupid." He retorts.
"Fine, if you have boundaries then so do I," I push his arm off me and sit up in front of him with my legs folded.
"Here are the terms Darley," I begin.
"Terms." He snorts lowly.
"Yea, terms. Not that I do it anyway but no grab ass with my male friends, no grab ass with your female 'friends'." I say using air quotes.
"Why you say friends like that?" he asks
"Because I know you've fucked at least one of those desperate women at the bar that you claim to be just friends with."
He doesn't say anything and it's an answer all on its own.
"Exactly. So no ass smacking after tips, no letting them kiss your cheek, basically nothing I couldn't get away with if I did it with another guy."
He glares at me and I'm almost positive he'll just throw in the towel right now.
"Do you accept these terms?" I ask as if I was reading him an actual contract.
He stares at me silently for a moment, blinking slowly with his long lashes before he sighs and grunts.
"Yea, whatever."
I grin widely and nod at him.
"Good."
I stand up on his bed and step over his body to get to the floor. I grab my dress which was on the floor as well.
"Where're my…" I get on my knees and look under his bed for my underwear. I spot Tia's heels and grab them.
I feel something soft land on my head and grab at it to see Billy had thrown my underwear at me.
"Thanks." I say sarcastically.
"Would you give me a ride?" I ask.
And I have to say, I expected this the moment the words left my mouth.
Billy glances down at his flaccid crotch and gives me the dirtiest smirk ever.
"You don't hafta ask sweetheart."
Rolling my eyes I slide my underwear on quickly and stand back up, cocking my hip to the side and glaring at him.
"Seriously?" I ask noticing he wasn't as…relaxed as he was a few seconds ago.
"Just come sit down on my lap, I'll make it fast." He says with a boyish smile on his face. I bite my lip and look up at the ceiling.
What have I gotten myself into?
As I settle into his lap, having lost my underwear and hiking up my dress he kisses my lips sweetly, gripping my waist to guide me down on him.
"Mmmh, my girl."
A/N:Hope you all enjoyed Billy's semi sweet side. Thanks so much for the continued support especially to those who review.
