I awoke that morning with the feeling of movement above me. As my eyes tried to open, I felt how sensitive they were to the light. My head was pounding as a headache tried to become my best friend. I must have fallen asleep on the couch because that’s where I was. Ashley was lying partly on top of me because the couch was so small. As feeling became prevalent, I realized that I was naked. When I felt Ashley’s bare breasts against mine, I freaked out.

I stood quickly and ran to my bedroom. I am certain I woke her up, but I didn’t really care. I quickly threw on a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. I walked into the living room where Ashley sat shamelessly naked. I lifted her shirt from the floor and tossed it towards her. “So I guess that’s a no go for a replay” She said sarcastically whilst slipping the shirt over her head. She stood up and walked to where her jeans were. As she bent down to pick them up, I couldn’t help but imagine myself groping that bit of skin. She slid the pants on and sat back down.

“What…” I began but stopped, afraid of what Ashley might say in response. “What happened last night?” I finally spat out.

“Okay, did you miss the part that I had to put clothes on?” She said quickly.

“No, I remember every bit of that part.” She smiled that cocky smile of hers. “I just don’t remember what led up to it.”

Ashley stared at the 70’s style shag carpeting and ran her feet over it, letting it stick between her toes. I could see the wheels turning in her head as she thought about the night before, and then a smile graced her beautiful face.

“Ash, you’re such a pervert.” I said laughing.

“I’m sorry.” Then she went on to tell me what happened. “Well we were sitting on the couch and you just kept starring at me so I asked what was on your mind. And that’s when you said…” She took a breath as if it was shocking, even to her. “You told me that you were very much in love with me. Then you kissed me and right before you took off my shirt, I stopped you. I stopped you to say that I was in love with you too. You just smiled that really big smile. You were never as beautiful as you are to me now.”
