The Next Morning

The next morning came too early. It was your own fault; in all the excitement of the night before, you'd forgotten to turn off your alarm. You rolled over, reaching beyond the figure that was sleeping next to you, snatched your phone, and turned the alarm off. Then you turned your phone off to make sure it didn't go off again.

The alarm hadn't woken either of two people sharing the bed with you. You admired Li's nude figure, running your hand up her leg, tracing her tattoo. Her dragon tattoo snaked it's way up the top of her leg until it finally reached just below her breast. The deep red of the tattoo stood out on her skin. She was still wearing the garter belt that you'd bought for her. It was the only thing that she was wearing.

You slid down between the two of them, and out of the bed. Your head was pounding; you stumbled into the kitchen and saw the remains of what had happened the night before. Two bottles of vodka sat on the table.

Li had come over with the vodka after her shift the night before. You had all had drinks, and you didn't remember much after that.

You got up from the table and grabbed your keys. There was no way you were going to make breakfast with the half hangover you were fighting. However, you knew where you could get a decent breakfast to go.

There was an Kirby's Big Breakfast near your house. They had better food than the chains, and you'd been going there for a while. You walked through the door and saw a bright, perky young woman at the hosts stand. She was wearing a long skirt and a white dress shirt. Her chest drew the shirt tight.

"Can I take your order, sir?" The name on her badge read Mai. "Are you going to get to go, or are you going to eat in?" Her brown eyes were beautiful, and she had a sensuality about her that drew you in.

You thought for a moment, then responded to her.
