“What was it again, I forgets?” He said with a laugh. God he was a cute drunk!
“How many girls have you had spend the night with you in your bed. ”
“None……”
I let out the breath I didn’t even realize I was holding in.
“Another first for both of us baby. ” Gunner said as he closed his eyes. Next thing I knew he was out. I managed to get out from his grip as I started to take off his boots. Did I try to undress him?
Hmmmm…that could be a lot of fun…. for me anyway.
I spent the next ten minutes trying to get his pants off and I could not get him to move. I decided it might be better if they stayed on since I was going to be sleeping right next to him. I walked into his bathroom and looked around. I smiled when I saw the new toothbrush in the box. He must have bought it for me. I opened it up and used it. After I washed my face I made my way back into his room.
I stood there for a few minutes and just watched him sleep. I slowly tried to pull the covers out from underneath him but I soon gave that up as well. I walked over to the chair and grabbed the blanket that was lying on the back of the chair. It smelled heavenly. I wonder if his mom or grandmother made it for him.
I crawled into bed and tried to put the cover over both of us. Gunner moved and started to mumble something. I shouldn’t have done it but I leaned in to hear what he was saying.
“Ellie…. . …. . I love you Ellie………”
Holy hell and fuck a duck. Did he just say he loved me?
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
Gunner……
I woke up with my head fucking pounding. Mother fucker how much did I have to drink last night. I moved slightly and felt someone lying next to me. OH NO…. oh fuuuuck…. what the fuck did I do? I started to panic before I realized I still had my fucking clothes on. I slowly moved and looked over my left shoulder to see my sweet Ellie sleeping like a baby lying on her right side facing me.
I didn’t want to move another inch for fear of waking her up. Holy shit…she was beautiful and she looked so peaceful sleeping. I moved just a little more so that I could turn and watch her sleep. I wanted to see her eyes the moment she opened them.
If this wasn’t a fucking dream come true, Ellie, in my bed all night.
Mother fucker! I just realized I was so fucking wasted last night I don’t even remember coming to bed. Why did she stay? Did I ask her to stay with me? I kind of remember asking her to stay with me. Did I spoon her at all last night? Fuck I hope I didn’t try to make any moves on her! I’d never had a girl in my bed all night.
Wait…. did Ellie ask me how many girls I’ve slept with? Did I answer her? Oh shit I hope I didn’t tell her. Fuck my head was killing me. I needed some Advil and a glass of OJ in a really bad way.
No, even drunk I wouldn’t be that fucking stupid to tell her how many girls I’ve been with. It’s not like it is a huge number. I’m sure Jeff has me fucking beat by at least ten. It doesn’t matter though. None of those girls could hold a candle to Ellie.
Just then she started to move. I watched her as she stretched out and then opened her eyes. Four blue eyes just staring at each other. I could die right now and be a fucking happy son of a bitch.
There was that smile…. . I couldn’t help but smile back at her. My heart starting beating faster the wider her smile got.
“Good morning sweetheart. ”
“Good morning Gunner. ” She practically purred my name.
I reached over and pushed her hair behind her ear. So fucking beautiful…. .
“Drew. ”
“What?” Ellie asked as she looked at me confused.
“My name, it’s Drew. I just wanted to hear you say my real name. ” I said as I leaned over and gently brushed my lips against hers.
“Your name is not Gunner? How did you get that name then?” Ellie asked as she looked at me with a smile.
“Say it first…. say my name first. I want to hear you say good morning to me. ”
Ellie let out a laugh. “Good morning Drew. How did you sleep?”
