This just happened a few hours ago. Still putting ice on the injury.
So boyfriend and I were in the bed this morning, starting some nooky. He was on top, kissing my bod, etc. Well, my long hair was trapped under my head and I wanted to free it, because it was uncomfortable, so I had to bring my arms up to lift my upper body up, and I accidentally elbowed Paul in the head. It wasn’t a hard hit (Paul and I are used to taking hits like that, in karate/kickboxing class), but Paul was trying to be funny and put his head down on my chest like I had really clocked him. I, however, did NOT see this funniness since it was still dark in the room, was still trying to lift my head up, and my nose and lip HIT his head. CRUNCH!
Oh my god. That was the hardest i’ve ever been hit in all my life. I think I saw stars! I was stunned for a second. Paul was laughing, because his hard head didn’t feel HOW hard i hit his head, he just thought it was a hilarious slapstick we just performed. But then he noticed I wasn’t laughing, and he turned on the light, and was like “oh shit! Are you ok? I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
I wasn’t mad, it wasn’t his fault. But damn it hurt like a mo-fo. I was just saying “turn out the light!” I didn’t want him to see me silently crying and my lip getting fat.
After the pain subsided after a few minutes, we laughed hysterically. We were able to pleasurably proceed with the, uh, proceedings. But my left upper lip is huge and I’ve been icing it since I have to go to work tonight.
I showed up at work often during the past with bruises on my arms from karate class (not so much now that I’ve learned how to block well), and my co-workers often joked that they were going to kick my boyfriend’s ass for beating me. I might have a hard time convincing them that it was also an accident this time. But once I tell 'em it was a sexual mishap, they’ll probably say “Oh Lorie, that sounds just like something you’d do”.
Sigh.
