The Wright One

MIA

Waking up with Dex is strange and new, but also really fucking nice. He pulls me closer while still asleep. I know he might regret this. This is a lot to ask from him. I didn’t realize that he was intoxicated until we got in the room and he stumbled a little. I thought maybe a drink or two, but he seemed too messed up. I really hope that I didn’t do the wrong thing. I just hope that he remembers everything. I hope to God that he doesn’t regret it.

I try to move out of bed so I can start cleaning up to get ready to bring Hugh home. But Dex grips me tighter. “Mia, baby, don’t move.” He groans and pulls on me.

“I have to clean up so I can get Hugh.” I don’t want him to think that I am trying to run out on him.

“My head is killing me. Just give me a few more minutes.” I snuggle back in bed with him. At least he isn’t trying to run off.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I decided I am not going to sit here and worry, I am going to put my insecurities out there now. “Dex, you remember last night, right?” It’s better to get it out in the open. If he is going to regret this then I want to know now.

He laughs slightly. “Oh, yeah. I remember everything. I loved that little moan you made, when…”

I cut him off. “I don’t mean that. I mean, you remember telling me that you weren’t going to leave me again.”

“Yeah, I remember. I have been trying to tell you for days. I love you Mia. I want to have my family. I know you deserve someone like Nathon. A guy who can buy you the world, but I really want to keep you to myself.” He holds me closer.

“If you really want me then you can have me, but I couldn’t handle it if you left me again. I just couldn’t.” I don’t like feeling vulnerable, but sometimes you have to put it out there.

Before he can answer I hear a phone ringing, I know it isn’t mine. “The only place I might be going is to work. I have to get that.”

He groans as he gets out of bed, fumbling for his pants and fishing out his phone. “Hey… Yeah, I can be there in twenty… You sure you got him this time… Alright, let’s take him in.” He clicks off the phone. “Remember when I told you about that robbery that I was working on, well, they caught the guy, but it’s an all hands on deck thing. They need to bring him in, he’s one of those really bad guys. I’ll be back after the bust though. You might have a hard time finding a way to make me leave.”

I scoot over so I am on the bed, wrapping my arms around his waist. “I can’t wait until you come home.”

“That’s exactly what I am doing, baby. I am coming home.”
