Falling Down(87)


"Jesse," Lucy whispers loudly and Trace chuckles next to me.
"Yeah, babe."
"I'm getting sleepy."
"Okay." I stand up with Lucy. "It's ni-ni time for Lucy."
"Good, she needs to sleep that off or Irene will kick her ass," Sera says.
"Whatever," Lucy says flitting a hand, nearly smacking me in the face. I chuckle and watch her nearly fall down.
"Come here, woman." I pick her up and she wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.
"You're so tall and strong. You're just so sexy, Jesse," she says before kissing my nose.
I grin.
"She's a cute drunk," Xander says with a smile.
"That she is."
"You really should keep her."
"I plan to. Goodnight everyone."




Chapter Fifteen
Jesse
Everyone murmurs their 'goodnight' as we head up the stairs and to my room. I walk Lucy into the bathroom and sit her on the counter.
"What're you doing?"
"I'm going to brush your teeth," I tell her putting toothpaste on her toothbrush. "Open." She opens her mouth and stares at me as I brush her teeth. "Spit." She does and I continue brushing her teeth clean. I fill a cup with water and hand it to her. "Rinse." She does. She's pretty good at following directions, even as trashed as she is. I hand her a full glass of water. "Drink up."
I brush my teeth and down a couple glasses of water.
"Need to take my makeup off," she says reaching for a bottle of makeup remover and some cotton balls. She stands up, ties her hair up in a ponytail, and removes her makeup. Then she washes her face and stumbles as she's drying it. She's so f*cking cute.
"Grab on." She rewraps herself around me.
"I'm a monkey, I'm a little monkey," she starts to sing. "I cling to Jesseeeee when he carries meeeee."
I chuckle at her half-assed attempt at rhyming.
"I am a monkey. I can prove it like I proved it the other night on the patio, remember?"
"I remember really hot f*cking sex on the patio where you blew my mind."
"Yeah, mmm. Wait. Monkey!"
I laugh.
"Okay, take your pants off."
I raise my brow. "Not even here twenty-four hours and already she starts with the bossiness," I tsk.
"No, no. I just want to show you. Pleeeeeeease Jesse?"
"You're an incredibly cute drunk, Lucy, and because you are, I'll do this for you." Hell, I'd do anything for her.
Bending forward, I unlace my boots and Lucy starts singing.
"I'm a monkey, hugging my Jesse. See?" her arms tight around my neck and her ankles hooked at the base of my back.
I chuckle and toe off my boots. "I see. Clever little monkey," I sing as remove my pants and bend over again to pull them off.
"Monkey!" she sings.
"You singing about monkeys reminds me of the Coal Chamber remake of Shock the Monkey."
"Ozzy!" she shouts.
She starts singing it and I sing with her.

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
I carry her to the bed. I pull her shirt over her head and take off her bra. I slip her shoes off. I reach up and unbutton and unzip her pants. I start to pull and she lifts her hips helping me get them off. I let her sing the monkey parts

Moooonkeeeeey, Moooonkeeeeey, Moooonkeeeeey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

I quickly pull her peach lace boypants down her legs and there she is. Naked and beautiful and her tits are perfect.
