America's Suitehearts

**CC’s POV**
Alex was the first to finish his burrito partly because he didn’t spend five minutes looking for hot sauce like Hailz and I, but mostly because he practically gave half to Annie. I have one word for that poor dog: Diabeetus. He then went into his room to get ready for work, leaving the two of us alone to eat together at the breakfast bar. We took a couple bites in silence while I tried to think of something clever to say about how much I’d enjoyed last night. Once I was sure I had something that would make her at least crack a smile, I swallowed and spoke.
“Mmm, these are really good, babe, almost as good as you were last night.” I said as I bumped her hip with mine. She blushed pink with a shy giggle.
“You weren’t too shabby yourself.” She giggled and bumped me back. I chuckled and went to take another bite of my burrito but something walking across the living room caught my eye. I fucking snorted I laughed so hard when I noticed Mikey just strolling around with his head stuck through the straps of Hailey’s bra which he was trying to carry in his mouth. “What are you…MIKEY!” she shouted when she saw him. He started growling playfully and wagging his curly tail as she walked towards him. “Mikey, drop it!” she ordered, but right before she could grab it he darted into her room. “OH COME ON, MIKEY!” she groaned as she ran in after him “That’s one of my nice ones!” I took a couple deep breaths to calm myself before I took another bite of my burrito. These really are pretty good. I had just begun to shove the last bit into my mouth when the front door opened. A young guy, maybe twenty-three years old tops, with spikey black hair wearing a dark grey coat and purple scarf came in and we both froze when we saw each other. We stared at each other, part of a burrito shoved halfway into my mouth and his mouth twisted into a scowl. Deciding that I’d rather eat instead of winning an impromptu staring contest with a stranger that just barged into my girlfriend’s apartment, I proceeded to finish stuffing my burrito into my mouth while he continued to glare intensely at me. What’s this guy’s problem, sheesh!
“Hey Hailz, do you need me to-” started Alex as he walked out of his room, half dressed in his work uniform but was interrupted by Mr. Glarey McGlarington.
“Already?!” The intruder snarled at him
“…Wha?”
“THAT!” he shouted and pointed at me. I looked behind me then turned back and pointed at myself questioningly seeing how my mouth was too full to talk. “Yes, you, numb-nuts!” he spat which made me flinch. “Are you fucking kidding me?! It’s been a day, one fucking day since we broke up and you’re already rebounding! You insensitive bastard!” he yelled at Alex. Oh no! Oh no no no no no! This must be Alex’s Ex! I swallowed and opened my mouth to clear up the matter but Alex responded to him before I could say anything.
“Oh, I’M the insensitive bastard?! You’re the one who broke it off with an Email! AN EMAIL GODDAMNIT!” Alex shouted back. Wow, way to clarify that I’m not your gay hook-up, Alex. They started arguing viciously with each other while I awkwardly stood there attempting to call Hailz for assistance via telepathy. Hailey! Help me! I’m surrounded by angry gay men! Hailey! I’m scared! HALP MEH! A few moments later she came marching out of her room (Clearly in response to my telepathic message and not because of all the noise) with Mikey under her arm.
“What’s this happy horse shit?” she asked with her southern drawl in full force
“I came to get my stuff back and give this piece of shit a chance to grovel only to find out that he’s cheating on me with that!” said Alex’s Ex then pointed at me
“Can you not call me ‘that’?” I asked, less than amused by this guy’s sheer assholery, but was ignored. How Alex didn’t dump his ass ages ago is beyond me.
“News flash, idiot, you ended the relationship therefore it’s not cheating!” retorted Alex. Hailz cocked an eyebrow and looked at them.
“And it’s also not cheating if you didn’t sleep with anyone, right Alex?” She said sassily, making him blush
“Oh yeah, kinda forgot that part…sorry CC…” Alex said sheepishly.
“Wait, if you didn’t…why is…?” the Ex asked confusedly as Hailz walked over to me and wrapped her free arm around my waist. I draped my arm around her shoulders and wagged my eyebrows at him as Mikey licked my hand. “What?! Hailey got laid?! What is this?!” I still fail to see why this is so surprising.
“That’s right, now fork over my thirty bucks, ho!” said Alex which set them at each other’s throats again.
“You wanna take cover in my room while I try and calm these guys down?” she whispered. I nodded eagerly as she handed Mikey off to me before the two of us escaped to the safety of her room and shut the door behind us to drown out their bickering. I sighed and scratched behind Mikey’s ears as I strolled over to the bed then sat down and let him go. I laid back and watched him sniff around her pillows and the few stuffed animals she had on her bed. I smiled at him but it quickly faded as I realized that in just few hours, I was going to be trapped on a bus, heading out of the city, not to be back for several months at the very least. I sighed. I wasn't ready to leave her yet, it didn't feel right to just leave after everything that's happened, but I knew staying was out of the question and asking her to come with me was crazy. Mikey sneezed so loud he bewildered himself then went back to investigating Hailey's stuffed animals. She was such a sweetheart, she deserved something more than a one night stand, and to be honest, I wanted more as well. Mikey then proceeded to find himself a friendly looking teddy bear, mount it, and go to town on it. Contrary to what one might think, it was actually very difficult to have a serious internal monolog about the future of mine and Hailz's relationship with a pug humping the shit out of a defenseless teddy bear less than four feet from my face.
"Jesus, Mikey! Let the bear be! Just because it can't say 'no' doesn't mean you can have your way with it!" I said as I grabbed the teddy bear and pulled it away from him. Did I really just explain consent to a pug? I took a look at the bear. Damn, I felt a little guilty knowing this cute little bugger was this watching us do the deed last night. Just then, Hailey walked in with the sounds of two queens going to war over a scarf behind her.
"Yeah, we better take shelter until they're done." She said as she shut the door behind her "So, what you been up to?" Mikey looked at me as if he were begging me not to expose his love affair.
"I think Mr. Cuddlywuddlyfluffykins is judging me for what we did last night." I said as I sat up and made a face at the teddy bear in my hand. She laughed and sat next to me.
"Don't be ridiculous...That's Sir Sungglywugglypants," she giggled and grabbed a stuffed tiger "THIS is Mr. Cuddlywuddlyfluffykins!" I laughed and Mikey wiggled his way in between us.
"Well, either way, they're making me feel dirty." I said as I threw the bear back to head of the bed
"If you feel so dirty, why don't you go take a shower? I'm sure we'll both finish in time to get you back to the hotel if you get in now and hurry." She said which I hoped she had meant to be as flirty as I imagined it
“Hey Hailey! Damien’s a weak little pussy and can’t lift the big box of his shit, can you help?” shouted Alex from the other room. Ah, so that’s his name! She sighed and rolled her eyes.
“I’ll be right back, why don’t you go on and hop in the shower in the meantime?” she said as she stood up then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before she headed back out into the warzone. Once she had left, I turned to Mikey with a huge fucking grin on my face.
“Do you think that means she wants to have shower sex?” I asked him. He snorted and went back to perving on teddy bears. I’ll take that as a solid, definite maybe. “God, I fucking hope she wants shower sex.” I mumbled to myself as I turned back, figuring that, if nothing else, I could use it to help decide exactly how I wanted this relationship to move forward. And, you know, sex in general is usually pretty awesome anyway. I got up and made my way into the bathroom, pulled my pants down, turned on the water, and stepped in with my fingers crossed that she’d come join me in a minute.

Notes

Yeah, sorry this is so late guys, I've been busy helping with my baby brother's birthday party, however, I do have a three hour flight to Las Vegas in the morning so hopefully I'll be somewhat productive in that time :P
I promise I'm going to try and update more regularly once everything starts calming down but do feel free to harass me if you think I'm slacking (just don't get crazy, m'kay?)
