| "Lips Like Morphine To Knock Me Out"

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
He was sitting on the side of his bed with his head in his hands. Rubbing his tired eyes and messing up his bedhead. He wanted to scream. He wanted to cry. He wanted to breakdown. But real men dont do that. And he was a real man. He stopped feeling sorry for himself and eased himself to his feet. He grabbed the jeans from the night before and threw them on. Possible thoughts of the last night's events taunting his mind, he needed them out. He couldnt take it. He headed into the mesy kitchen and opened the fridge. The blast of cool air comforted him. It hit his chest and goosebumps erupted on his skin. He rubbed his stomach as he searched for something to eat. Unsatisfied he grabbed the orange juice and took a long swig, wishing it was something else, something stronger. He shut the door, a little harder than he had meant to and collapsed on the couch. He stared at the ceiling and noticed for the first time the intricate pattern of the tiny white dots. Realizing he had hit an all time low when he started appreciating the ceiling, he groaned and rolled over.
Suck it up princess.
Convincing himself that he was not a total failure he hit the playback button on the anwering machine. "You have 3 new messages. First new message:"
Hey bro. We missed you last night. Dude you missed a sick game. Anyway call me when you get this. I need that number you promised me. The last time I got some as-
"Message erased. Next new message:"
Morning sunshine. I miss you. Why don't you come over for some breakfast. And maybe if you help me clean up the dishes I'll help you clean up a little something of your own. Call me as soon as you get this k. Oh and Jenna called and she wants to go out tonight so we're going to have to cancel dinner. I'll make it up to you as soon as you get your butt through my door. Clothing optional.
"If you would like to delete this message press 7. If you would like to save this mes- Message erased. Next new message:"
Um hi. It's Casey. I don't know if you remember me you probably don't but we met last night. Um this is a little awkward and I understand entirely if you dont want to get back to me but I just really need to know, um i dont know how to say this. Ok did we do anything stupid? I mean like reallllly stupid. Ugh im really sorry for bothering you with this ridiculous message. And I promise I will be out of your life as soon as you get back to me. Um yeah, thanks.
"If you would like to delete this message pr- Message saved. End of final message.
Casey. Casey.
The name definitely rang a bell. His memory was a clouded blur. He sat upright and racked his brain as hard as he could. He remembered her. He pictured long brown hair, yeah he remembered that. Her hair was straight and he remembered it rested just above the tattoo on her lower back. Probably not a good thing that he remembered a tattoo there. And he remembered she was wearing red lipstick. Not the hooker type of red, just the hot kind. He remembered her eyes. Green. Almost like his own, but softer. Slowly he started to remember her face, her outfit, her smell. But no matter how hard he thought, he could not remember what they did.
Shit.
He got up and dragged himself into the bathroom. He threw some cold water on his face and as he looked up into the mirror a water droplet landed on his neck. A hickey. He examined it and then found another one. On his chest. He panicked a little when he found one on his stomach and forced himself to remain calm when he could only see half of one, the other half covered by the top of his jeans. This girl left a roadmap. He forced himself to think back to last night. What did they do? He couldnt picture it clearly. He was trying to, trying really hard and then he heard something. A buzz. A buzz? He didn't remember that at all. He heard it again this time followed by a voice.
You still alive up there?
Fuck.
Pulled back into reality he ran to the door. Remembering his marked body he grabbed the first shirt he saw. He threw the door open. A smile met his gaze. A pair of lips he knew well. A pair of lips that should have left the dark bruises on his body.
Couldn't even put on a clean shirt for me? What'd you spill on yourself anyway?
He looked down. The previously white shirt had red on it. Not the hooker type of red, just the hot kind.
What I hear:
Lips Like Morphine--> Kill Hannah

Coma: A bow from Coma?! No way. Thats quite the honour! Im glad you liked it :] I liked this story a lot and the only reason i wouldnt want to continue it is because im worried im going to mess it up. I like to leave things to the reader's imagination :]
Eeerm: Thought you would pick up on that! Im glad you noticed, it was my fav part of the story. Haha is that what its called? A rounded reference? Or did you just use your brilliant mind to coin that term. I like it :] Thanks for reading doll.

Meredith: Thank you! I really appreciate the praise :]
Tony: Haha I think you need more morphine! lol im just messing. Well I was planning on leaving it here and leaving the ending for the reader to imagine but who knows, I might continue it. Oh and the red on his shirt was a reference. Before thats how he described the colour of her lipstick "Not the hooker type of red, just the hot kind"
