The sunlight danced over my eyelids as they fluttered open, sleepily. Still in a euphoric daze, it was only when I felt the hot Florida sun warming my skin that I remembered the details of last night's excitement. I smiled to myself, blushing as I turned my head to look at Fergal.
Gone. Figures he'd be the type of guy to disappear over night. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed, but I shouldn't be surprised. He did assure me it was just for that night after all.
I could smell bacon coming from the kitchen. Alex must be home from her night shift. I threw on a tank top and sleep shorts, stretched and headed out of my room.
I was surprised to find Alex sitting at the table with a cup of coffee while Fergal, having not heard me enter, was stood fully clothed with his back to me frying bacon in a pan. Alex looked up at me and gestured towards Fergal with her eyes.
"Morning..." she smirked knowingly, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Oh, you're up!" Fergal turned, smiling warmly towards me. He looked me up and down, admiring my figure in my barely there pajamas, before composing himself and turning back to the bacon. "I hope you don't mind me raiding your fridge but I was starving," he chuckled.
"I could tell," Alex cackled, gesturing to the red bite marks covering my neck and chest. I'd forgotten they were there, and I hastily covered them with my arms, angry with myself for displaying them so brazenly. I should know better after last time, I scolded myself.
I looked over to Fergal instinctively, trying to determine if he was upset by my carelessness, but he was sniggering to himself, clearly finding the whole thing very entertaining. I sighed in relief.
As I took a seat near Alex, she started excitedly whispering at me.
"Tell. Me. EVERYTHING!" she hissed, barely quieter than her usual talking volume.
"Sshhh... I will! Just... Later!" I hushed urgently back at her.
"You better!"
Fergal finished making breakfast for all three of us and took a seat next to me at the table. After a few minutes of awkward silence I couldn't bare it any longer.
"Thanks for breakfast, this bacon is delicious!" I piped up.
"Really Ciara?" Alex cackled wickedly, "I always assumed you preferred sausage. OWW!" she yelped as I kicked her under the table.
"You must be tired after working all night Alex, maybe you should get some rest," my voice was calm but my threatening eyes were laser focused on hers.
Taking the hint she finished her food and said her goodbyes, leaving Fergal and I alone in the kitchen.
"I am SO sorry about her. She just loves embarrassing me."
"Yeah I kinda caught her off guard this morning when I left your room. I don't think she expected a shirtless Irish man to interrupt her morning coffee," He chuckled, the hint of a blush on his cheeks.
"Wait, shirtless?" I suppressed a giggle.
"Well SOMEBODY left my shirt in here last night after they ripped it off of me..." He grinned suggestively.
"Well maybe if SOMEBODY had given me more notice, instead of just showing up out of the blue..."
"You didn't seem to mind last night..." Fergal smirked, triumphantly as memories of the night's activities flashed across my mind and I struggled to conceal my arousal.
After a few moments of tense eye contact, the sound of Fergal's phone broke the silence and he glanced down at the screen.
"I've gotta go..." He sighed, his flirtatious smile now transformed into one of regret, evidently disappointed by the interruption.
"I'll.. See you out," I cleared my throat, trying to compose myself and led him to the door.
"So... I guess I'll... See you on Wednesday?"
"Yeah I guess so... And.. Thanks, for last night..." I mumbled, awkwardly staring at my feet in an attempt to act casual. Fergal sniggered provocatively and placed a delicate finger on my chin, bringing me to look directly at him.
"It was my pleasure love," he cooed, placing one last tender kiss on my lips before turning to walk out the door.
"Oh," he turned around, remembering suddenly, "once I walk out this door, last night never happened. OK?"
"OK," I promised. We exchanged a final smile before he left in his car, leaving me alone on my porch again.
When I returned to the living room, Alex was already sitting on the sofa cross-legged, and fidgeting with excitement for my return.
"So spill! Who was that? How did you meet him? Are you seeing him again? When? How big is hi-"
"Woah, Woah, slow down!" I giggled, hitting her gently with a pillow before flopping next to her on the sofa.
"Sorry, it's just, you've never brought a guy home before and, honestly when he walked in this morning with his shirt off, he very nearly turned me straight..."
"His name is Fergal, he's a wrestler on NXT, and no, I won't be seeing him again," I sighed.
"Pfft, if you say so," Alex scoffed.
"I'm serious! It was a one time thing. I've only just started at NXT. I really don't want people thinking I'm trying to sleep my way to the top by screwing the NXT champion."
"Look, I know I'm no expert, but that guy is into you! I mean, how often do one night stands make you breakfast the next morning? There's no way you two won't hook up again."
I spent the rest of the morning gossiping with Alex, thankful that I had someone to confide in about Fergal. If I didn't, I'm not certain I'd even believe it myself. One thing I was sure of was that Wednesday nights were about to get a LOT more interesting.
I'm back! Sorry for the long hiatus. I've been suffering with my mental health for a while, and then my boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me so I needed a little time to gather my thoughts and heal. But now I tend to continue updating this story! Thanks to everyone for your patience and I can't wait to keep writing!
