Page 6 of Adore Me
Fuck off. Fuck off. I have needs.
We both laughed as we separated and went to sit down. We both sat really close to each other at the booth but didn't sit close enough to touch. The distance is killing me.
"So, I take it breaks over?" Johnny asked with a smug look.
"Um, I don't know." Vincent took a drink of coffee and looked away from.the table. Then with a smile, he turned to look at me. "So how was dancing with Jack?" I just knew he was trying to get me angry.
"Shut up," my food arrived, and I avoided anything more that he said.
"I think she liked him," Vinny said. I flipped him off with the hand that wasn't using a knife to spread mayonnaise on my burger. He chuckled and threw a fry at me which hit me on the forehead, and I glared at him.
"So, Moretti. Guess what's happening right now?" Johnny asks and then gave Vincent a minute to guess. "Everyone is over at your place. Valerie has something to show you."
Chapter 7
As we walked into the house, I knew instantly what the surprise was. Maybe it was for Vincent, but I knew I wanted one. Inside a box by the door was five puppies. They looked mixed and fluffy, probably lab and husky. Utterly adorable.
"Oh! Wow! Whose puppies are these?" I asked as I dropped my purse and dropped to the floor to play with the puppies. The chunky one had blue eyes and instantly I fell in love. I picked him up and snuggled it close to me.
"Our dog had puppies and normally the guys here will take them off our hands!" Sammy replied as he picked one up too. He held the puppy away from him at arm’s length and started fake barking. Huh, that must have been that s rat thing noise I heard at their place when I stayed there for a night.
"Um, do you mind if I take him upstairs to my room?" I gave them a puppy dog face and pouted my lips. "I promise to bring him back! It’s just I never had a dog," I can't believe I was begging to take a puppy into my room like I were a four-year-old who found a stray. So, what if I sound like a little snot nosed brat? These puppies are so cute!
"Of course, you can, honey! Be careful with that one, he is a lover!" Valerie replied as she touched his collar.
I got off the floor and started for the stairs. As I climbed the stairs, I held the chubby puppy tightly against me. Once in my room, I heard music start to play and I knew some sort of social get together was about to take place.
I took out my phone and texted Bethany and Annabeth asking them to come up here to see me. Maybe they will want to go swimming with me. Normally, I am pretty confident with my body so being around overs wouldn't bother me, but I didn't know these other girls here. I'm not fat, but I definitely don't miss a meal. As I waited for them to text me back or come up here, I played with the puppy.
Puppies 101 has said to not throw items of clothing that you don't want the puppy to eat. Oh well. I bunched a sock up and threw it to the other side of the room and laughed as I watched the puppy run with his chubby legs.
There was a knock on my door that made the puppy bark. The chubster is trying to act tough and I love it. He has his head up while he sings his song. I am laughing as I opened the door and seen the girls.
"Hey, what's going on?" Bethany asked as she held her bathing suit in her hand.
"Are you all right?" Annabeth asked as she came in as well. She was holding her swimsuit too.
The both started taking off their clothes. "Good, we are on the same page! Let's swim!" I pulled myself off the floor and the puppy followed me into my closet. Despite the circumstances of living in this room, I have grown accustomed to it; the room. I miss not sleeping with Vincent and being wrapped up in his scent. I would ditch this room.
We all slipped into our suits and I picked up the puppy and walked out of the room with the girls in tow. The party is in full swing as people started dancing more.
Reluctantly, I held the puppy away from my chest but kept his chubby face facing me. "I need to give this chunkster back before I fall in love," I exclaimed to Sammy as I handed him the puppy.
He laughed and Valerie said: "That's why we bring the puppies over when the guys have their monthly get together!" Monthly? I never heard of this before and she must have seen my face because she rubbed my arm in a soothing manner.
I smiled ruefully at her and patted the hand that is on my arm. "Thanks."
I leaned into the great room and seen a ton of men with ladies on their arms. Jack started walking towards me and I left the room while grabbing my friends’ hands and asking Valerie to come out with us.
"See, this is what our tattoos are for. So, lackeys know their place and won't hit on a made man's lady," Bethany said as she sat down at the edge of the pool.
"Hell yeah! I have had mine now for twelve years! I love looking in the mirror and seeing it on my shoulder as I get out of the shower," Valerie stated as she slipped out of her shorts and top. It was then that I got a really good look at Valerie. She is gorgeous and has a curvy figure that could resemble a racetrack. Even her bathing suit fit her perfectly. I guess swimming was something to be expected, everyone brought their swimsuits. Valerie has a fantastic body. She is tall with long legs that I could kill for and a cute bubble butt. Her hair always perfectly done and so is her makeup. If she weren't so nice, I would hate her.
"I have had mine for four years and I love it too. Vinny will kiss it while we are having sex or trace it while we are out in public it’s so romantic," Annabeth enthusiastically said as she sat down and dangled her feet in the pool. Her finger slipped up into her hair and she twirled it around her hair.
"What about you, Bethany? How long have you had yours?" I asked as I blushed. There was a warm feeling shifting through my stomach. I knew that I didn't have to worry about it, but I still felt left out. However, I enjoyed seeing these women look so happy about being marked by a man.
"Ten years. I got it touched up at the last one of these parties. Johnny asked me to wear his ink after I gave birth to our daughter. Secretly, I thought it was his way of saying he was leaving his wife." There is longing and raw need that is dripping with her tone and voice.
