the morning after

You woke up to the sharp sunlight that was reflected from outside. You were still half asleep when you realized the position you were in. Cate had already woken up. you were laying on your back in a starfish position. You had thrown the blankets on the floor and the pillows where there too. The sheet was messy and wrinkly. 

"What in the name of-", you were cut off by footsteps coming from the stairs. "SHIT", you whispered to yourself. You started to collect the blankets and cushions from the floor in panic.

"Good morning", you heard behind you. Cate was leaning to the doorframe with a cup of coffee in her hand. You flinched and tried to cover your half naked body with a blanket. You couldn't have been more embarrassed.

"Did I do this?", you asked and looked at the mess. "I think you did", cate answered and came up to you. "You were quite restless", she continued as she now stood in front of you. 

She pushed a lock of hair from your face to behind your ear. She was gorgeous. Her breath smelled like coffee. Her hair was a bit messy. Not as much as yours, but still messy. You locked eyes and stood there staring at each other.

 You could feel how you dove in her blue ocean eyes. They were icy and enigmatic, but there was something else too. There were comfort and sorrow. Experience and love. Sweetness and battle scars. Word couldn't describe the power they held. You could only see to your self and make your own interpretation. They held you under control. 

It was hard to read her expressions and emotions but you could see that she enjoyed the moment too. You wanted it to last forever. Her gaze was like a drug. When you had a bit of it, it just left you craving more, and you could do anything to get more.

You woke up to reality. "It is rude to stare, did you know", you broke the eye contact and smirked. "Well not if you stare at someone so glorious", she said and turned around. "Put on some clothes and come downstairs, I made us breakfast. You can borrow something mine", she gave you a smile. 

"what about the mess", you said trying to hide your embarrassment. "Oh don't worry the house keeper will take care of it", she said and disappeared to the kitchen. You went to cates closet. It was the size of your bedroom. 

You saw it. The green glimmering suit she wore in ocean's 8. It was luxurious. You ran your fingers against the fabric. Wow. You were thinking while staring at it. 

"are you coming?", you heard a voice downstairs. "In a minute", you yelled back. 

You opened a drawer. Oh fuck. It was her "toy" drawer. You slammed it shut and tried to forget the sight . You had seen bright red strings and a black thong. There were also a purple vibrator and a pink strap on. You couldn't unsee it. You thought how hot cate would look in those strings. 

You came downstairs with some sweatpants and a light blue hoodie you had found in the closet.

"I like your clothes, where did you get them", cate acted curious and asked in a sarcastic voice. "Oh piss off", you tried too play angry, but your chuckling was too obvious not to notice. cate chuckled too. 

You sat opposite to cates chair in the table. She came with two plates with pancakes on them (they make you gay btw). And laid one in front of you and one infront of her. She had put some blueberries on them too. They tasted amazing. You hadn't never tasted pancakes that good.

"Omg Cate this is very good", you said with a mouth full of pancakes. She took a bite of her own too. She seemed happy that you liked them, and thanked you for the compliment. The breakfast was pleasant. Cate read the newspaper while you sat there staring at her. 

After you both had finished you helped her with the dishes. 

"Ive had a really good time but I think I'll have to go to work today", you said kinda disappointed by your words. You would have loved to stay. Cate looked at you with a sympathetic smile. "Of course", she said. "Im gonna go change", you said and went upstairs to the bathroom. While you were on your way there you saw the bed nicely made. You looked at the time. 

7:26

You rushed to the bathroom and locked the door, even tho you knew there was no need to do that. You put on your own clothes and gave a look at the mirror. You looked horrible. There was mascara on your cheeks and your hair was a mess. There wasn't time for a cool makeover or a transfiguration. You saw a brush on one of the counters. You brushed through your hair a run you face under cold water. A bit better. Not perfect but better. you said to yourself. 

You got out of the bathroom and folded cates clothes on the bed . You smelled them for the last time and went downstairs. cate was cleaning the kitchen and turned her gaze to you when you waked down the stairs. "Someone is looking extra today", she said teasingly. "Oh please I look terrible", you gave her a "are you serious" look. She giggled as she wiped the counters with a rag.

You put on you shoes and opened the door. "Im gonna go now", you said waiting for a response. Instead of that you saw Cate coming from the kitchen. She didn't hesitate and gave you a big hug. You hugged her back and took your lungs full of her scent. "This has been the first time I've spent a night with a pretty woman and not slept with her", you joked to her shoulder. She laughed and agreed with you. 

"Are you free on Sunday?" she asked still hugging you. She released her grip when you answered. "Yes I'm free, how?". "I was just wondering if you would like to come visit me again", you had been waiting for that question for the whole morning. You definitely wanted to see her again, but didn't want to seem too exited about it. "Sure, Is noon good for you", you played it cool. you saw her face brighten up the you said that. "Noon sounds perfect", she smiled. "I will see you then", you were heading to the front door. She leaned on the door as you stepped out. You gave her an exited smile. She waved at you and slowly closed the door. 

When the door was fully closed you started to jump up and down in that instant. You were full of different emotions. Excitement, fear, anxiety, happiness. It was almost overwhelming. When you were ready to go you called a cab and went to work. 

You couldn't concentrate the whole day. You were thinking about cate and last night. You thought about what you would do on Sunday.
