The One Night Stand (5/6) [A Haven Story]

My eyes snap open when I feel a shift in the bed that I was in. I look around confusingly until I realized what happened last night. The morning sun shines through the top window and I shift my weight onto my back.

I look to the side to see Duke laying on his stomach with his arms tucked beneath the pillows and his hair out of his man bun. His hair lays perfectly around his head. The sheets are covering from his lower back on down and I am sincerely grateful for that.

He groans a little as she shifts his weight. My blood runs cold in my veins at the thought of him waking up. I slide off of the bed and held that sheets along with me. I softly groan as I feel my lower back, my hips and legs tense with soreness. Though my muscles hurt, my girl feels euphoric.

I pick up my clothes from the floor and slowly creep toward the door.

"There's no need to sneak out," Duke says suddenly, causing me to scream.

My body heats up and started to burn the bed sheet around my body.

"Sorry,"

"It's okay."

"How are you feeling?" He asks and stands from the bed.

He finds and puts on his boxers and his white tank top. He approaches me slowly and I walk into the doorframe once again. It almost seems like deja vu and almost as if he read my mind, Duke says:

"Doesn't this feel like deja vu? Are you trying to hint at something, Connie?"

"N-no," I stumble, wanting to face palm myself.

"Okay.. well it's as I said, you don't need to sneak out. You can take your shower here and by the time you are done, I have already made your breakfast." He offers.

"Do you normally offer breakfast to your one night stands?" I ask.

"Not usually, but if they were exceptionally good, I make exceptions." He says.

I roll my eyes with a smile and he adds:

"Unless you want me to shower with you; in that case, I would be more than happy too."

"I think I can take care of myself, thank you very much." I say.

"That's not what you said last night," he says as he coughs.

"Now listen here, Mr. Crocker." I reprimand.

He hums and says:

"Say that again; it was hot."

He presses my back against the doorframe and I chuckle a little.

"What? Mr.. Crocker.." I say slower.

He pulls on the bedsheet and everything falls to the ground. I giggle as he kisses my neck and that when I hear Karissa say:

"Connie? Connie, we need to go to the station and follow up on your theory."

"Oh my God," I say.

"What am I going to do?" I ask Duke.

He already had his pants on and he was just now putting on his loose, button up shirt.

"I'll distract her while you put on your clothes. And whatever you do, do not let her see your stomach." He says.

"Why would I need to hide her st-" I trail off as I look down to see colonies of hickeys clumped all over my stomach.

"What the hell Duke," I scold.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself." He argues.

He sends me a wink before closing the door to his bedroom. I get dressed as fast as I can so that Karissa would get suspicious. Once I had everything on, I walk out of the bedroom, pretending that I just woke up. A fake yawn leaves my lips as I approach Karissa.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"What was taking you so long?"

"Well you see, Karissa, when you spend the previous night drunk and having lots of sex, it gets a little harder to want to get out of bed in the mornings." I say sarcastically.

She rolls her eyes at me and tosses at duffel bag at me. I unzip it when I catch it and peer in to see my work clothes, a tooth brush, my make up kit and my hair products.

"It's better if you get ready here, so we can go straight to the station right after. That is, if you don't mind Duke." Karissa states,.

"No, no. I don't mind at all. I was just about to make her breakfast, did you want some?" Duke asks.

"Sure," Karissa says as she sits down on the couch.

She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. Duke and I exchange a look and he motions me to go talk to her. I set down the duffel bag and sat down next to her.

"Is everything okay? You seemed off every since last night." I say.

"No, I'm not okay.." she says.

"Well what happened? What's wrong?" I ask.

"It's nothing, it's petty," she says.

"It's not petty if it is effecting you this much."

"Last night, those two guys were all over you and were barely even there for five minutes. The only guys who came and talked to me was Duke and Dwight and that was it. Duke couldn't keep his eyes off of you and Dwight had to leave early for something. When you left the Grey Gull with those guys, I just went back to the apartment to watch TV. That's when I got a call from Audrey about the dead body." She says.

"Karrie," I say as I pull her in for a hug.

"You looked gorgeous last night- scratch that, you look for gorgeous every day. And if no one can recognize that, then that's their problem. But from the looks of last night, Dwight seemed pretty interested in you." I say, rubbing comforting circles on her back.

She rests for the side of her face on my shoulder and released a sad sigh. Duke looks at me and smiles, making me smile.

"I think she is need for a group hug," Duke says after he flips the pancakes.

"Come on, get a hug from Dukiebear," He adds, pulling us both in for a hug.

"Dukiebear?" Karissa and I say in unison.

I lean onto Duke's chest and wrap my arms around his torso. I sigh with comfort as I hear his soothing heartbeat. Duke rests the side of his face against mine and pulls Karissa closer to me.

"Now do you see why everyone loves my hugs?" He asks.

Karissa and I hum in response and close our eyes. Karissa's phone rings and she pulls away from Duke to answer it. I slowly pull away from Duke and look to Karissa, who has her back towards us.

Duke plays with some strands of my hair and holds me gently from behind. And oddly enough, I was comfortable with it; I did not feel the need to push him away. But when Karissa ends the phone call, Duke pulls away from me.

"There's been another murder," she says.

"Head to the station. I'll meet you there." I direct and she nods before leaving.

"Don't worry, I'll take the breakfast to go." I say to Duke before rushing toward the shower.
