N.F.L Imagines

set up pt 2 (ja'marr chase)

the next morning

*izzy's pov*

my body woke up before my eyes did, it took me a minute to build up the courage to open them and check the time. i did not need to know how late i woke up this morning, it would only make me feel bad.

i turned my head over towards my night stand, not fully awake, i did not register that my head did not rise from a pillow although just as comfortable as one. the clock sitting there read 8:32.

not terrible, i thought, turning over once more to get comfortable again back in my bed.

this is the point i finally noticed i did not fall asleep with my head on a pillow, nor was laying straight on my side by the edge of the bed like i normally was. my head had been rested on a tattooed chest belonging to ja'marr all night, my arm hooked over him with our legs entangled under the covers.

everything of last night came flushing back, not that i was so drunk i forgot or anything, just regular morning grogginess.

with the memories in mind, and seeing ja'marr's peaceful sleeping face, i curled back into his side as gently as possible with a soft smile. i could hear his steady heartbeat beneath my head which was slowly lulling me back to sleep.

i remembered the promise he made, he was gonna take me out tonight. now i wasn't against this idea at all, i was the one who asked him out right? like shouldn't i be the one planning this date, i mean the man just moved to this city what places does he even know? i've been living here all my life and plus, i really like to plan dates, especially when this one was probably gonna have to involve a tour of the city.

..

despite my efforts, i was unable to fall back asleep, a blessing and a curse. i would never be late for work because i slept after my alarm went off, but i couldn't fall asleep again after being woken up.

i started nosing ja'marr along his jawline in hopes of softly waking him up, i didn't want to rush his slumber but i also wanted him to wake up so i could talk to him. it was getting lonely, i loved being snuggled up next to ja'marr, but i could also be cuddled in his side while talking to him.

my efforts proved pretty much useless when the only movement i got from his a little turn of his neck.

not wanting to be too forward, i decided against kissing his neck, and instead moved to trace the tattoos on his chest.

this one did eventually get his attention after a couple minutes when i could hear a quiet, tired groan come from his mouth.

i turned my head to look at him as he woke up, his eyes slowly opened and he reached a hand up to rub them. he looked down at me when he noticed me still drawing on him.

"hey you miss me?" he asked, a soft, tiresome smile showing on his face.
"mm yeah, it was getting lonely without you" i returned the smile.
"of course it was, i'm the best company there is" his smile turned cockier
"alright don't get an ego now, i can still kick you out"
"i'll be on my best behavior" he moved a hand to my hip, closer to my butt, "and besides you like me too much to kick me out."
"you're on thin ice, just be glad you're comfortable to lay on" i nestled back into his chest.
"oh i'm more than glad" he pulled me closer with his arm.

the peacefulness of laying there together didn't last long when ja'marr got a little more handsy, not that i minded.

his hand moved across my butt, body starting to move over mine making me lay on my back.

"what are you doing, chase?" my eyes narrowed at him with a small grin across my face.
"me, oh nothing. just moving a little bit, gettin comfy" he responded with a large smile.
"doesn't feel like 'nothin' to me" i said when his lips met my neck, him being completely hovering over me now.
"hold up now, don't be leaving any hickeys on me" i laughed a little, grabbing his face up to meet mine.
"don't ruin my fun" he smiled as i rolled my eyes and put my hands on both sides of his face to pull his lips to mine.
