The screeching ringtone of my phone was definitely not something enjoyable to be woken up to. I moaned my disapproval while Lex tightened his hold on me with a groan, apparently as reluctant to wake up as I was.
Sending my hand toward the source of the noise, I blindly tried to reach for my phone. It wasn't easy between my refusal to open my eyes and Lex not letting go of me, spooning me with fervor. When my hand finally collided with the familiar shape, I opened an eye to see who was calling.
My mom's picture was on the screen, and I mumbled a curse. If I didn't answer now, she'd keep trying until I did.
Pushing the green button, I took the call and pressed the phone against my ear. She'd scold me if she realized I was just waking up.
"Hola, mamà."
"¡Hola mi bebé!" Her voice was on speakers somehow, and her enthusiastic greeting nearly burst my eardrum.
"Ah, fuck," I groaned, lifting the phone away from my ear. Lex grumbled a protest too, shoving his face in my hair.
"Andrea Grace Valentina Walker! Language!" she scolded me. "Wait, are you still in bed? Is that Alexander?" Confused, I finally opened my eyes to glimpse at my phone.
Holy shit, this was a video call.
Since I was holding my phone up, she had a stunning view over our cuddling frames, naked under the cover. I stared with horror at my mom's intrigued face, not sure what to do. Having her witness my debauched state after an insane night of sex wasn't something I'd ever want to happen. Lex looked up too, and the surprise in his eyes matched mine.
In my panic, I didn't find anything better than to hang up on her. With a wince, I let out a chain of curses.
"The fuck just happened?" Lex asked from behind me.
"It was a video call. She saw us," I explained while typing a text to my mom, telling her I'd call her back as soon as I could.
"So what? It's not like we were doing anything wrong, right?"
"No, but... I don't know. After the night we had, this feels wrong and dirty."
"The night we had?" Clearly not impacted by what had just happened, Lex turned flirty, his hand fondling my breast over the sheets, his mouth dropping a series of kisses on my shoulder.
"You know exactly what I mean, Coleman."
"I can't remember. What sort of night did we have?" As much as I tried to hold it back, a grin stretched the corners of my lips up. He was great at distracting me, and soon, all thoughts of my mother's call were gone.
"You did filthy things to me."
"I did?"
"Yes. Very naughty, scandalous, and delicious things."
