After sex cigarettes // dreamwastaken

I'm shocked when something around my stomach. Its an arm and I can bet you my bank account I know who it's attached to. His fingers are pressed into my stomach, I turn to face him, his brown hair, or "blonde" as he likes to say, lays on his forehead. He shifts slightly and I hear plastic scrunching. I throw the covers off and see a huge tattoo displayed on his forearm
"Clay wake up" I shove him "get up now" his eyes slowly open
"What?" His voice is groggy
"What the bloody hell is this?" I point to his arm
"Oh yeah" he laughs "it's nice isn't it" it wasn't one tattoo it was stickers all over, there was a bird. A Minecraft block. A random planet. A weird skull. So there was only 4.
"Why have you done that"
"I was drunk and bored" He acts like this is the most natural thing
"Okay since I was drunk and bored shall I get the Union Jack flag tattooed on my back?"
"Well, maybe you should get 'clays bitch'" his fingers trace my back which sends shivers down me. Now fully off him I can look at him lying down
"What I said last night still stands. We don't have a relationship" I pause "yet" he gives a boyish grin
"See? That was better then last night" I don't want all his hopes to stay on the yet, because I don't even know what "yet" means.
"You can see other people, it's up to you, but from this point onwards you have to promise me 3 things" he nods "1. Make things right with your mum" I hold one finger up
"2. Focus on being you, on your own" the second finger shows
"3. No sex, no kiss, nothing. Between us until we are both ready"
"4. I can flirt with you" he adds a random fourth rule which provoked an eye roll. He pulls me into a bear hug and I feel his stubble run against by neck.

About 45 minutes of more or less pure silence our door gets knocked on
"Nick isn't feeling very well, is it okay if we go home today? Like now?" Enas eyebrows are stuck high on her forehead
"Yeah, yeah of course. What's up with him?"
"I think he has food poisoning, I'm not sure though"
"Give us 10 minutes" she nods and walks back to her room. I don't think I've ever thrown a suitcase together so quickly.

The car ride home is horrible, 3 ish hours of nick vomiting, all 4 windows open to there max. He looked so poorly, his face was so pale but flushed.
"I think we'll drop Nick off at the hospital, you alright to go with him Ena?" He's half asleep on her knee, while she stroking his damp forehead.

Clay pulls up outside my flat
"Do you want to come in, I owe you breakfast" he nods and pulls into a parking space, he carries my bag up the stairs. I open the door and drop onto the settee
"You shouldn't have drove you know?"
"I couldn't let nick drive, you were worse then me, Ena was a mess" he kicks his shoes off and sits next to me "What shall we do?"
"I'm going to sleep, breakfast tomorrow?"
"Deal"

I go to the sink and grab a glass of water before walking to my room, I hear the deep patter of feet following
"What are you doing?"
"Sleeping?" He's stripping he's plain white top off and removing his joggers
"What are we? Naturists?" I slap my hand over my eyes
"Jheeze, you're one to talk" he mean my top and bottom combo, my pyjamas, "you can call me a naturist but you tiny white tank top is see through" I whip around to look at myself in the mirror, my nipples are hard and very very visible "I'm not complaining or anything, and those shorts hang low on your hips" I'm still wearing panties which I never normally sleep in so the top of my lacy panties are displayed
"You pig" I throw his top at him and I walk to the bathroom where I remove my underwear. Seconds later I make my way back to the bedroom, he's laying on his phone "okay I'm sleeping" I purposely crawl over him. I latch onto his arm and use it as a pillow, he lifts his arm and moves me away
"Hmph" I huff and turn to my back
"I was getting comfy" he sink into the bed, I roll over, he pulls me into his chest
"Hmm" he kisses me on the head "non of that sir, no kissing"
