Jeff awoke expecting a warm body next to his, but to his utter disappointment he woke up alone in a strangers home. Confused and even a little hurt, he wandered around her place, finally seeing a note taped to the refrigerator.
"Jeff- I'm so sorry, but this morning I got called in to work. I was surprised it didn't wake you! Help yourself to anything in the fridge, shower, or whatever else you might need, and lock the door behind you if you leave. I'm really sorry about leaving you alone... you have my number.. please feel free to text or call me again.. Last night was... beyond words. - Tina."
He smiled to himself reading her words several times over. Last night had truly been incredible. They would sleep for a while, then if one or the other woke up, things would get steamy just as they had the very first time. It amazed him that they were both ready for it over and over again, she always wet and warm, and he never ceasing to be hard as a rock. He was sure their cries of ecstasy were heard several doors down all night long.
He gave her note another once over, then his eyes highlighted one phrase, "if you leave."
So she was giving him permission to stay at her place... until she got home..
Jeff had an inner battle going on over this. He would love to stay and greet her. Even though he'd only spent one night with her, he felt completely smitten. He'd been with many women, proudly owning the title of a "player," or "ladies man," but never had he felt so complete with one woman. Even out of bed, when they had their date, she was everything he'd envisioned in a perfect woman. She'd been gracious, a little shy, but with a great sense of humor, a sweet, mischievous laugh, and great insight. He wasn't sure how she'd ended up a barista for the last four years with how incredibly smart she was. She'd mentioned being a student, so maybe she was headed somewhere better. He needed to find out.
With as much as he'd love to stay and be there when she got home, he didn't want to scare her. If she'd stayed away from dating for this long, she probably wasn't looking for some creep who stays all day at her house alone waiting for her after the first date.
For the first time that day, he looked at the clock. Holy shit! It was already three in the afternoon. He never ever slept this late! No wonder he had a headache.
Glancing at his phone, he groaned. Three missed calls from Ashley. Ashley was a girl he'd dated off and on last year. Here lately she was trying to reconnect, but Jeff wanted nothing to do with her. Fake hair, fake boobs, fake personality. He'd only been in it for the sex, but after a while even that wasn't worth it.
Feeling even more confused with his grogginess, and confusion, he decided on showering at her place then leaving. Scaring Tina was the last thing he wanted, and he needed to figure out what to do about Ashley, but he HAD to have a shower now. He felt completely disgusting.
He jumped in the shower, and tried his best to keep from thinking about Tina being in this very shower just hours before him. Not succeeding, his cock twitched to life, and he groaned in frustration under the hot water.
***************
Tina sighed glancing around the empty store. They'd been deserted practically all day, which was way out of place for a Saturday. Her manager kept giving her long looks and sideways glances.
She looked completely rough. Sleepless eyes, swollen lips, and two hickeys more than likely gave away her last nights activities.
Finally, after her manager had swept through the store making sure it was empty, she practically screamed "Tina...Ohmygawd did you GET SOME????!!!!!"
