Don't Hide Your Love

Early Morning Strangers

Cher woke up and letting the details of yesterday play through her head, remembering the way Rob did what he could to make her feel better, the comment he made to Josh and the kiss, both of them, still lingering on her lips the memory making her run her tongue over her top lip and the thought that he was a few steps away from her and she didn't have to wait to see him made her smile.

She slipped out of her bed in a full set of black satin pjs, and freshened up in the bathroom and gave herself a quick glance in the mirror and she ran a comb through her hair before she left her room.

As she passed the guest room she hesitated whether she should go in, but reconsided and decided to go downstairs to the kitchen, and her chef was already there.

"Hey."

"Good morning. 20 minutes." He said and smiled at her.

"Okay, but I have a guest sooo."

"Another plate it is then."

"Thank you Andy." She smiled

When she returned back to the guest room, she tapped the door with her knuckles.

"Hello?"

"Heyy." She said peeking her head from around the door.

"Oh it's you." He said rolling back to his back and covering his face with his hand and then running it through his hair.

"Good morning to you too." She said making her way to him.

"I didn't mean it like that." He laughed.

"Breakfast is in 20 minutes." She softly smiled to him as she perched at the end of the bed.

"Oh you don't have to do that."

"No, it's fine, I'm not making it so doesn't bother me." She laughed.

"Oh right." He said following her laugh.

"Can I?" She asked and pulled the corner of the sheet up.

"Go for it, it's your bed."

"Yeah but it comes with company."

"Well I don't mind." He said watching her slide under the sheet.

He perched just above her on his elbow and was just inches above her face as she rested her head on the pillow.

"Are you feeling okay after yesterday?"

"Y'know I was really bummed out, with everything and I probably would still be but."

"But?" He said removing a strand of hair from her eyelash.

"But... This really great person." She said reaching for his hand to hold and entwined her fingers with his. "I don't know, just made the night almost perfect."

"Almost?"

"Yeah."  She said smiling and letting her eyes close, predicting his next move and his lips met hers and her hand cradled his cheek.

"Okay, Okay, come on, we need to go eat." said Cher aware of the time they had just spent inbetween each others lips.

"Okay." He laughed "Good, I'm starving."

"Hmmm I know." she teased making him laugh.

They spent the morning together, flirting like they always did, laughing at each others remarks.

"So when will I see you again?" He said from the front door.

"Hmm I don't know." she shrugged her shoulders. "When I feel like it."
