Do you know the reason why you should sleep at night? So that you don't think about stupid ideas.

Someone should've told me that at three in the morning when I was ordering wall paint to properly cover the red sign in my room.

As a temporary solution, I had pasted drawings over it, but that didn't change anything, since I knew what was under them.

I put on an old t-shirt and denim suspenders after the paint arrived at eight o'clock and started covering the floor by the wall and tearing down the drawings.

As soon as I had everything ready and stepped away from the wall, I wanted to lie down and sleep. But it's probably too late for that.

I opened the window wide and left the door closed so that the smell of fresh paint would not enter the apartment unnecessarily.

I prepared a roller and poured black paint into the container. Am I going to have just one black wall in my room? Yes, but I'm sure it will be aesthetic when I stick posters and whatever else I can get my hands, on it.

The moment I wet the roller, I heard a knock on the door. Are you kidding me?

I let out a frustrated breath and straightened up. I went to the door and opened it.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw Acker with a bouquet of red roses and a smile on his face.

I frowned. "What is it?" I nodded my head at the bouquet.

We haven't exactly talked since yesterday. I'm not mad at him anymore though. All the anger and frustration disappeared at work and after a few cigarettes.

I was already tired in the evening, so I didn't even try to have a conversation. And I didn't see him this morning, I guess I know why now.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said." He moved the bouquet towards me for me to take.

I grabbed the roses with a narrow smile on my face. Not that I don't like flowers, but I'd rather be if it was...

Before I could finish the thought, Acker picked something else up from behind, his smile even bigger. "Better?"

My gaze fell on the pack of beers and I couldn't help but smile. He's reading my mind, I'm sure of it.

"You are forgiven." I put the bouquet back in his hand and took the beer. I walked over to the table behind me and placed it on it. I chose one and opened it.

"Are you painting?" He walked further into the room and looked at the wall, his expression changing to one of understanding. "Do you need help?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know how to paint a wall?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"It can't be that hard, can it?" He shrugged and bent to the ground for a second, clean paint roller. "You going to join me?" He looked behind him to see me.

"Sure." I laughed and walked over to him. I took the roller and went over the red sign.

Acker joined me and I became more and more relaxed with each letter we covered.

When we were done, I stepped back from the wall and looked at it.

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. It's finally gone.

"It looks a lot better," Acker spoke and put the roller away.

"Yes it does." I looked at him. "Thanks for the help." I bit my lip.

"Sure thing." He straightened up and walked over to me. "You have color in your face." He raised his palm to my face and ran his finger along my cheek. "Since it's definitely not healthy to breathe paint, how about sleeping in my bed tonight?"

"In your bed?" I smiled. "I thought this was my apartment."

"You and that smart mouth of yours." He bent a little lower and his hands found themselves on my ass. He lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around him.

"Maybe you should find a way to shut me up then." I lifted my shoulders and my hands wandered around his neck and ran my fingers into his hair.

"You don't have to tell me that twice." The corner of his mouth lifted into a naughty smile and he started walking toward his room.



If this is how it always goes with Maya after a fight, I won't complain.

I slowly lowered her to the floor when we were already standing in the middle of my room. My hands slid down her body until her feet touched the ground and a slight touch of her naked skin alone took my breath away.

What is she doing to me?

Her head was tilted back, easier to look directly into my eyes. And when she smiled? There was a small, naughty spark in them.

Her hands went from behind my neck to my chest. Her touch electrified me through my clothes.

She grabbed the hem of my t-shirt and pulled it off over my head. She threw it somewhere on the ground and before it even landed, her hands were already on the zipper of my jeans.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed my cheek softly while her hand pulled my jeans down my hips. "I'm going to enjoy this." She whispered before biting my ear in the sexiest way possible.

She dropped to her knees and I knew at that moment that I would never look at anyone else like that again.

She pulled my jeans down to my ankles and I stepped out of them.

She raised herself a little higher on her knees, her eyes level with my erection. Her gaze dropped but when she looked back up I could see the fire in her eyes, burning away all my insides in the best possible way.

And shit, if she doesn't start touching me right now, I feel like I'm going to die.

All too slowly she reached the hem of my boxers, letting my dick free.

"Your shirt," I ordered her and she has never obeyed me faster.

She dropped the denim braces from her shoulders and threw the t-shirt away somewhere. She remained in a lacy bra through which I could see her nipples.

With her fingers, she ran over my now wet tip and I couldn't help but moan.

To hell with her touch. How can something so small have such a big impact on me?

She went all over my length, torturing me.

Her soft lips touched the tip. She immediately smiled when she saw what she was doing to me.

I ran my hand into her hair, but just left it there.

Her lips parted and I felt her warm mouth that was like heaven.

She took me whole in her mouth until my tip touched the back of her throat. At that moment my head fell back and a moan escaped my mouth.

This really is heaven.

Her hand touched mine, in her hair, and she started showing me the pace she wanted me to go.

There is nothing more attractive than a woman who knows what she wants.

After a while, her hand disappeared, but I kept my pace. Well, that was as long as I could stand it.

I gripped her hair tighter and pushed her closer to me until I felt deep in her throat.

"Fuck." I moaned as she swallowed. "Do that again." She obeyed.

I started thrusting into her mouth with more force, her saliva all over my length and her breathing a little harder.

"Breathe through your nose, Maya," I said but didn't stop thrusting.

My stomach muscles started to tighten and I could feel myself getting close.

"Maya." I tried to warn her to stop and pull me out of her mouth before I came down her throat.

I only earned a disapproving moan from her and she quickened her pace, bobbing her head.

A few more thrusts and I felt my whole body tense and Maya's mouth began to fill with my cum.

I slowly pulled out of her and watched as she swallowed everything.

I held out my hand to help her up, and she accepted it with a smile.

Once she was on her feet, she ran her fingers over her lips where there were small marks of my relief, and licked her finger.

"Shit, Maya." I smiled, grabbed her hips, and pulled her to me, our chests bumping into each other. "We should fight more often if it always ends up like this."

"I wouldn't mind." She laughed and patted my chest. "We'll trade places next time." She winked at me.

"That's what I was hoping for." I bent my head and kissed her. I felt myself in her mouth and only then realized that I never did it.

I never kissed anyone after they gave me head.

"Do you have any plans or are we spending the rest of the day in bed?" I asked.

"The bed sounds tempting." She put her hands together behind my head and tangled her fingers in my small hair.

"Oh yeah?" I raised an eyebrow with a smile and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and on her jaw.

"Yes." She laughed. "And I know exactly what you're going to do." She tilted her head which allowed me more access to her neck, which I clung to. "First you undress me and then..." Before she could finish the sentence, we were interrupted by the doorbell, which rang throughout the apartment.

"Really?" An irritated moan escaped my mouth and I pulled away from her.

"Only our luck." She patted my chest and pulled away. She picked up her t-shirt from the ground and pulled it on. "You better wait here." She nodded her head at my crotch with a smile.

As she passed me, she rose on her tiptoes to give me a quick kiss on the lips. When she was already behind my back, I couldn't help but smile.

I listened as she walked over to the door and opened it. A woman greeted her.

"Charlotte, hi, what are you doing here?" I heard Maya, her tone slightly surprised.

"I brought you Nat. You're supposed to look after her while I go to the wedding with Ronald. You said you would, remember?"

While listening to them, I started to get dressed.

"Did I do that? Oh well, I guess I did."

"Oh god, you don't remember. You know what, it's okay. Maybe I'll get someone else and—"

"No, Charlotte." Maya interrupted her. "You go to the wedding and I'll watch her. I didn't have anything planned anyway." So, our plan to spend the rest of the time in bed was thrown out just like that. Awesome.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, of course. It can't be that hard." She laughed.

"You are my salvation." She exhaled. "I wrote everything down for you, and if something were to happen, mine, Ronald's, and other numbers are written there, in case you don't catch us."

"I'm sure we'll be fine."

"Here she is. You listen to Aunt Maya, okay? I'll pick her up when we get home, I'll call you."

"Sure thing."

"Thank you so much, Maya. See you later."

"See ya," Maya said and I heard her close the front door.

Already dressed, I left the room and my eyes fell on Maya and the baby seat in her hand.

I smiled. "I'm sure we used protection." I was joking. "That can't be mine." I pointed to the small child in the seat before walking over to her.

"Funny, really." She rolled her eyes with a smile and lifted the baby seat onto the kitchen counter. "Hi, Nat."

I stopped by them and looked at the little girl in pink who was looking at us confused.

"I didn't know you like children." I looked at Maya who was still looking at Nat and smiling. But there was something strange about her smile.

"I don't like babies, but I heard that if you smile and talk to them in a nice tone, they won't cry." She looked up at me."If she starts, I have no idea how to quiet her down."

"Good to know." I laughed.

"Oh god, do you smell that?" She frowned. "Oh no." She gaged and stepped back a little further from the seat. "Acker." She looked at me horrified. "She just..."

"I can smell." I wrinkled my nose. "You should change her diaper."

"Me?" She looked at me in shock.

"What, you think I know how to change babies?" I pointed my finger at myself. "How much beer did you drink?"

"It's not funny." She shook her head. "I don't know how to do it." She nodded her head at Nat.

"Well watch a YouTube video if that helps."

"There's not even the slightest chance I'm going to touch what she let out. Can you smell it at all?"

"Trust me, I do, but what were you thinking, of course, she has needs. You shouldn't have allowed her mother to leave her here. That's on you." I pointed at her.

"You're an idiot." She frowned at me.

"I'm surprised you didn't figure it out sooner." I wanted to smile, but her expression told me not to even try.

"I'll call Julie, she'll know what to do. Watch her." She pointed to the baby seat before slipping past me into her room for her phone.

"Why? She won't run away." I walked up to her and looked at the little girl. "What are they feeding you?" I shook my head as I smelled the filling of her diaper again.

This is going to be a long day.



I can't thank you enough for the support you've shown me, whether in comments or messages.

I am slowly getting back into my normal mode and starting to write again. I don't know if I will publish exactly on Mondays and Thursdays, but I will try to do at least one chapter a week.

But I don't want to overdo it, so please bear with me, even if I'm going a little slower these days.

Missed you guys <3
