The feeling that sped through my body when I heard her call me by my name was unreal. Why did that affect me so damn much?
“That’s two firsts for me. ”
Ellie laughed. “Really? And what are they?”
“Well, first off I’ve never had a girl spend the night with me and tell me good morning. And second, I’ve never had a girl call me by my real name. I wanted you to be the only one to do it. ”
Ellie tried to hide her face but I saw the blush creep into her cheeks. Goddamn I would never ever get tired of that!
She peeked up at me and started to laugh as she pushed my shoulder back.
“Tell me how you got the name Gunner. ”
“Well, let’s see. My sophomore year I was on the punt team. There are two guys that split out and they call them Gunners. Their job is to go directly to the ball and try to make the tackle while all the other guys fan out into zones to try and funnel the guy with the ball. I played that position, gunner. My coach used me as an example once because I made the most tackles. He’d tell the guys they needed to tackle “like ole Gunner here”. It stuck and from that point on everyone called me Gunner for the rest of high school. I liked it so that is what I went by. ”
“Everyone called you that? Even your teachers?”
“Yep…everyone called me that. ”
“Did your parents call you that also?”
“No…. they call me Drew, so do my grandparents. ” I said as I pushed the same piece of hair back behind her ear.
“I like Drew…. . but I like Gunner better!” Ellie said with a laugh.
“I like Gunner better too sweetheart. But I also like the way Drew sounds coming off your lips. ”
I leaned down and went to kiss her more deeply this time. She pulled back from me and jumped out of my bed.
“Um, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet. ” She said as she walked into my bathroom.
Fuck I could get use to this. Ellie waking up with me every morning and me being the first person she spoke to.
After we brushed our teeth I watched as Ellie put her hair up in a pony tail.
“Let’s go get breakfast shall we? I need something for my damn headache. ” I said as I took Ellie’s hand in mine.
“Well maybe that will teach you not to drink so much Mr. Mathews. You were pretty wasted last night!” Ellie said with a laugh.
I immediately stopped and looked at her. “I didn’t um, say anything to you that was out of line or anything, did I?”
Ellie smiled up at me, shook her head no and stood on her toes to give me a kiss. I reached down and cupped her face in my hands and deepened the kiss. Ellie let out a small moan that traveled from my mouth straight to my dick.
Then I heard a scream.
Ellie jumped back and looked down the hall towards Jeff’s room. I looked over at the sofa and Jeff was already gone. He must have gone for a run…mother fucker had more to drink than me. How the hell does he do that?
Ellie took off towards Jeff’s room and threw the door open. I was right behind her. We both came to a halt when I saw Ari standing in her pink sleeveless shirt and underwear. Jeff was wearing the same jeans he had on last night but no shirt on.
“You MOTHER FUCKER! What the fuck were you doing?” Ari screamed at Jeff.
Jeff looked like he had one hell of a hangover and Ari’s screaming at him was not helping. He also looked confused as hell.
Ari quickly started to put on her mini shirt and kept screaming at Jeff.
“I cannot believe that you slept in here with me! I woke up to you SPOONING ME you dirty bastard! You said you were going to sleep on the sofa and Ellie were the fuck where you all night last night?”
Now Jeff really looked confused and then he looked pissed…. . at me.
