Gone and Reborn

BLOOD

Jo sat in the living room curled into a ball, with a blanket wrapped around her and the steaming cup of hot tea, that Ally had just given her, held in her hand. She took a careful sip as Ally sat before her on the other couch and winced in pain. Her period was being a total b***h right now. She was cramping badly, and in a general crappy mood.

Saul had texted her a few hours ago, asking if she wanted to come over and watch a movie, but she had turned him down. Arguing that she was in that awful time of the month, so she was no fun to be around.

Thirty minutes later there was a knock on the door and Jo frowned with confusion. They weren´t expecting any visitors that she was aware of.

Ally stood up and walked to the door, opening it and revealing Saul´s large figure standing there with a wide grin on his face, holding a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates in each hand.

-Hi Ally!- he greeted, walking inside and pacing towards the kitchen -I heard someone´s not feeling so well, so I decided to drop by and try to fix that.

He grabbed a couple crystal glasses and poured some wine into them, handing one to Ally and walking towards Jo holding the remaining one.

-Here baby- he said, pecking her lips and putting it into her hand- They say red wine is the best medicine for menstrual cramps.

He handed her the box of chocolates and smiled at her speechless demeanor, nodding at the package.

-Dark chocolate on the other hand increases your potassium levels and it´s good for your muscles, so I thought it might help.

He explained as he walked back to the door, stepping outside and rummaging for something briefly at the entrance of it. He returned a moment later holding his black acoustic guitar, taking a seat on the spare couch and smiling at both of their stupefied faces.

-Then I thought that maybe you could use some entertainment… So, I wrote you a song.

He fumbled a little with the chords, making sure they were properly tuned. Once he was satisfied, he grinned and cleared his throat a little. His dark eyes fixating on hers as he started happily playing a punky melody. His beautiful voice singing the most hysterical song Jo had ever heard in her life.

- ♪Oh baby!- he cried loudly, his head banging eagerly as his eyes squinted in concentration.

- ♪Your uterus is bleeding and it makes me sad

Your womb is feeling achy and we don´t like that

Just stick by my side baby and you´ll see the light

Cause you´re so pretty, my girl, you are always quite a sight

Even when you feel so bloated, even when you´re bleeding out!

Cause you´re so pretty, my girl, you are always quite a sight

Even when you feel so bloated, even when you´re bleeding out! ♪

He did a few more rounds, Ally joining him happily in the chorus and Jo laughing so hard she could hardly breathe.

When he was done, he gave a small bow, smiling at their profuse applause and thanking them with fake affectation.

-Ok, this is the weirdest serenade I´ve ever witnessed in my life- Ally said, standing up, walking towards him and patting his shoulder- You´ve outdone yourself, man… I´ll give you that. Now, if you excuse me, I´m going to drive to Gus´s place and blast any other s**t on my way there, cause thanks to you I´ve got your stupid lyrics all stuck in my head and I feel like they´re there to stay.

-You´re welcome- he replied with a foolish grin as he placed his guitar aside.

Ally grabbed her keys and exited the apartment, closing the door behind her. Her steps fading into the parking lot.

-Thanks, Cookie- Jo said, smiling sweetly at him- You´re amazing. I´m already feeling better.

-Well, we´re making this a habit then- he announced, standing up and snuggling with her.

They had been sitting in silence for a while as he ran his hands through her lower stomach when he gave her a playful look, his face inching towards hers and kissing her briefly.

-You know what else can help relieve your cramps, Sugar?- he said, staring at her teasingly.

-What?- Jo asked looking up to him with intrigue.

-Having an orgasm- he stated matter-of-factly- What you say? Wanna give it a try?

-Really?- Jo muttered, blushing and averting his gaze- I don´t know… I´m bleeding all over the place, don´t you find that gross?

-Nah, baby- He answered, pulling her closer towards him- I would do you even if you were covered in filth, now c´mon.

He grabbed her hand and led her to the bedroom, then made her stand in the middle of it before placing both index fingers onto his mouth in contemplation, pondering his thoughts.

-Wait here- he said disappearing into the bathroom and coming out a second later holding a towel.

Saul placed it on the bed and patted it for Jo to approach. She walked uncertainly to where he stood and he gently took her hand, sliding her out of her pajamas and making her sit on the towel. He got rid of her underwear, then he reached inside her v****a and carefully extracted the tampon, making Jo´s cheeks turn beet red at the sight of the bloody device.

-Oh f**k Saul, are you sure about this? It must be so disgusting!- she cried covering her face in shame and trying to hide herself from him.

-It is just a little bit of blood, Sugar- Saul smiled at her after disposing of it- It´s the most natural thing in the world.

He took his clothes off, walking back to the bed, then crawled over her and inserted himself slowly inside, making her gasp and hold to his shoulders while he swayed tenderly within her and patiently led her to a lengthy orgasm, her mind clouding at the feeling of it.

-Oh my God, cookie! Thank you!- she yelled, as he continued shoving himself into her core until he finished loudly a bit later.

She sighed, lying below him, lost in a blissful fog, without a care in the world... Her cramps long forgotten by now.
