'Partners forever' // An Upstead Story 🤍

Chapter 10: The first morning

Jay POV
I open my eyes this morning and I can feel this huge grin spread across my face as I get all giddy thinking about last night. I look down to find Hailey sound asleep on my chest, she looks so cute in the morning with her little sounds she makes when she stirs slightly. I just lay there listening to the sound of her breathing while gliding my fingers up and down her arm. I hear my phone vibrate at the side table so I carefully pick it up and see a message from Voight, I really didn't want to wake her but I knew we needed to get ready for work.

"Hails?" I say as I carefully shake her a bit but she didn't flinch "Hailey wake up" I whisper and I push her hair out of her face but she just looks up at me confused. "Morning sleepyhead" I laugh to myself as I look at how cute she is when she hasn't properly come to yet.

Hailey's POV
I feel hungover this morning. When I become more aware of my surroundings I realise that I am laying on someone's bare chest, I panic for a second as I try to think back to last night. "Morning sleepyhead" I hear Jay say and I just look up confused, Jay Halstead is lying with me in my bed, I am hugging Jay. "Hi" I say as sit up properly and smile at him, "how's the bruise today?" He asks "fine a bit sore" I say "I am so glad that you are okay, and that I kissed" he smiles to himself "yeah I am too" I say as I lean in and place a kiss on his lips.

"Better get ready" I say as I get out of bed and head for a shower. I turn the water to cold and slowly get in under it, I can already feel it helping my sore head and it wakes me up properly. When I finish my shower I brush my teeth and look out my clothes for today, I get changed into my jeans, blue denim top and start to brush my hair. I quickly blow dry it then I throw it up into a high ponytail, I grab my makeup bag that is sitting at the side of my unit and start to apply some mascara, highlighter then some lip bam to my lips.

Once I had finished I head back to my bedroom and make my bed and tidy up a bit. I walk down stairs and head into the kitchen, I see Jay pouring us a cup of coffee each, shirtless, my legs nearly gave way when he turned around and handed me my coffee. The butterflies I felt was crazy like how are we going to keep this professional when I just want to make out with him."Going shirtless today?" I asks as I bite my lip and stare at his body, "hahaha you wish!" He laughs "I just don't want to wear the same top as yesterday" he says sweetly. "Ohh well I have one of your tops actually" I say as I walk to my cupboard and grab his top "I washed it but forgot to give it back" I say as I throw the long sleeved T-shirt at him. "Why do you have one of my tops?" He asks confused as he puts it on "well remember that night when I had the unit all round here and we were drinking a lot, and after everyone had left you were sick so I let you stay here and I washed the top" I say.

"Ohh god I forgot about that night" he laughs as we stare at each other for awhile. We finish our coffee and I place our empty cups in the sink, I walk over to get my shoes on and I grab my radio, keys then my gun. After I am ready I get my coat and Jay helps my put it on, his hands go lower to my waist and he gently pulls me closer to him, "just one before we have to play professional" he says as he kisses me passionately, "come on lover boy before we are late" I say as I pull him outside my house and lock the door behind me.

I knew today was going to be a good day, I woke up this morning and I am happy no more than that I am in love and that will never change.
