The Morning after

*Felicia place*

Watching her boyfriend peacefully sleep was a pleasant sight for Felicia, as she continues to stroke his hair with a warm smile. She never was this intimate with her last boyfriend, and for the first time in a long time, she didn't have to have sex to receive the feeling that she was feeling at this moment. She then was reminded of their talk at the mall about Peter's life behind the costume and how he had low self-esteem and was having a rough time at school as far as the other girls in his life.

"It's still hard to believe that behind the costume, you think less of yourself and go through this pain when you are special and shouldn't have to deal with that." Felicia thought sadly now with her hands underneath his shirt rubbing his chest. The fact of the matter is that if he tried, Peter could get any girl he wanted. He was just in an unfortunate situation between two girls he liked and didn't fully know exactly how to deal with having feelings for both due to circumstances.

Speaking of the girls in Peter's life, between the two girls that she is more concern with, Felicia believes Liz will be the most trouble base on what Peter has told her.

"There's no way I will let that stuck up cheerleader hurt or try to steal him away from me. I don't think I will have to worry about that other chick since she with Peter's former best friend right now, but I won't hesitate to deal with her as well." Felicia contemplates that Liz will try something to hurt Peter when he returns to school.

She is going to have to make sure Peter is well equipped to deal with them and bullies when he has to go back to school. Lucky for him, he won't have to deal with all of that alone.

"Don't worry baby. With me around, you will gain that confidence that you need, and no girl will try anything once I make my debut." She promises in a soft tone just enough to make sure he doesn't wake up.

Realizing that she needs to get some rest herself, Felicia gently lifts Peter's head to place on a pillow and then wraps her around him to hold his body close and falls asleep. The two slept comfortably while gently holding each other's hand.

*The next morning*

After having a good night's rest, Felicia wakes up with the sun rays shining on her face. Felicia slowly opens her eyes with a smile, noticing that she is now looking at the side of Peter's face. He also has a smile on his face like he was at peace and safe. Seeing her boyfriend like this made Felicia feel warm and happy inside as she kisses his cheek lightly.

This sweet action promotes Peter to slightly turn his face towards her and slowly open his brown eyes. When his vision clears, he finds his self-starting and gets lost into the beautiful green eyes of his girlfriend as she gets lost in his chocolate brown eyes. Peter surprises Felicia by leaning in and giving her a soft kiss on her lips, leading to Felicia to cup his face and kiss him back just as sweet with much passion.

Once they steadily pull away, Felicia, with a big grin, asks, "What did I do to deserve that good morning kiss?" Even though she enjoys the kiss, she is somewhat shocked by Peter's assertiveness to kiss her first, not that it was an issue for her considering he did tell her he was going to try to bring that side out more when it comes to her.

Peter lightly chuckles before answering her, "That was for the fantastic night you allow me to have. I haven't had a perfect time like that in a long time, and getting to know you better makes me happy. Therefore, that was my way of saying thank you." Peter explains, feeling more comfortable.

Felicia couldn't help stop her smile from growing wider from his words. "Then let me say your welcome my way." She brings his face back to hers and kisses him a little harder than he did, but he returns the kiss just as hard while smoothly slides his hands on her ass and gently squeezes it. Felicia moans in his mouth from his touch and before ending the kiss bites his lips, something that Peter never experience but immediately loves it.

"Look at you, Mr. Parker. Not afraid of touching me now, I see?" Felicia smirks, feeling Peter's hand move in a circular motion on her rear.

"I think a lucky guy like me can get used to it," Peter said, playfully smiling at her. It amazes him how to tone her body was and how she really could for modeling if she wanted to.

"If that's the case, you better be ready for when I get touchy-feely on you." She warns him and begins to rub his chest.

"I most certainly don't need spider-sense to tell me I will be enjoying that a lot more than I should." Peter quips.

"You will; I will make sure of that." She winks at him, which turns Peter's face red a bit from the way she said it. "Speaking of which, how does your spider-sense work? Has it always warned you about something bad?" She questions him curiously.

Peter thinks about to explain his ability. "How should I put it? I guess, for instance, a little tingling such as an incident passing by of an enemy would prompt me to be alert, while an intense tingling, sometimes the point of being painful, is interpreted as a need for me to take immediate evasive action on a deadly threat."

Felicia blinks a few times before she could register all that information. "Jeez lay it on me as a science project, will you?"

"I'm sure you would want me to lay on you." Peter sticks his tongue out, messing with her.

"Don't start anything that you are not ready to finish." She gives him a quick peck on the lips before sitting up and stretching. "Besides, we need to make sure you are back home, so don't get into trouble with your aunt."

"Yeah, that's true. I'm not sure what my aunt's reaction would be if she found out I was sleeping over at my girlfriend's penthouse all night." Peter agrees, sitting up as well.

"Exactly boy scout. Also, I was thinking some last night when you went to sleep about you going back to school. We need to seriously get your self-esteem up because I know you might believe that you are not capable of being around Gwen and Liz as well as that jerk Flash, but I know you can. Just like you put on that mask to take on super baddies, I know you can handle those issues at school. You need to be okay with the fact that things didn't work out the way you wanted to and move forward without guilt, for if you hold all that in, you might explode and do something you will regret like that your frustration out on me."

Peter looked dumbfounded at her. He didn't expect this severe side to come out of Felicia like that. "Felicia, I.."

She stops him from saying any more by placing a finger in his mouth. "Trust me; I will help you when the time comes. Right now, I need you to focus on getting ready to head home. Just remember that you mean a lot to me, and I can't stand you going through negative stuff or allowing something bad to happen to you. You can use the guest shower down the hall to the right." She moves her finger to kiss him and leaves her speechless boyfriend in her living to freshen up herself.

Peter watched her leave after that stun and was sure his heart had missed a beat. Then it dawned on him after replaying the speech in his head, "She does care about me."

Author notes: Another chapter heading into the new year's. I hope everyone had a safe, fun Christmas and a Happy New Year! During my break, I finally was able to sit down and watch Jessica Jones, and it was well done. If I had to choose which one I prefer more right now, it would be Daredevil, but Jessica Jones is on the same level and only proves that Marvel can kill it when it comes to dark themes.

Looking forward to Luke Cage now, the guy who played him did the character justice, in my opinion, and Kill Grave, aka Purple Man... Enough said.

As far as the story goes, soon we see Felicia help Peter work on his assertive aka Spider-side, seeing that is now willing to embrace that side more, as well as getting him prepared to deal with his return to school. Also, showing the more serious side Felicia to assure Peter that she will be that type of girlfriend to help build, encourage, and push him to be higher than what he is now.
