Never Let Go

Chapter 33: It's Not You, It's Me

Warm yellow rays of sunlight streams golden through the window, lighting up the room. My eyes slowly open as I wake from my peaceful sleep, and the first thing I see is Maya's beautiful head of curls. She must have turned around at some point because she's the little spoon and I'm the big spoon.

I'm pressed right up against her, with my arm draped around her waist and my hand resting on top of her small hand. She's still fast asleep because I can hear her heavy breathing, and a cute little snore escapes her mouth which makes me smile. I'm glad she's finally getting a good sleep.

I'm desperate to use the bathroom, but I really don't want to disturb her, and I'm also enjoying this morning spoon. Morning glory is becoming an issue too, but I don't want to move, not yet.

I squeeze her hand gently and move my face in closer to her curls, closing my eyes and inhaling her vanilla scent. Memories from last night run through my mind. It almost feels like a dream, and if I wasnt laying next to Maya right now, I probably wouldn't believe it happened, but it did, and it was amazing.

I stay holding Maya until I really am desperate to use the bathroom and can't hold in my pee any longer. I slowly release my hand from hers and kiss her shoulder softly before pulling away from her. I carefully get off the bed without waking her, and rest the duvet back over her body, making sure she's kept warm. I stroke her hair and take one last look at her before quietly leaving the room.

After using the toilet, I have a quick shower. It feels like I'm washing last night and Maya off my skin, but I hope it's not long until she leaves her mark on me again. I wrap a towel around my waist and towel dry my hair before making my way back to my old room.

Maya is awake and sat up in bed. She takes her eyes away from her phone when she hears me enter the room. She looks so cute first thing in the morning.

"Morning." I smile.

She smiles shyly and runs her hand through her sexy bed hair.

"Morning." She sounds a little bit deep and raspy which I find so sexy. My mind instantly turns dirty, but I try to keep those thoughts at bay for now.

Her eyes trail down my body, and land on the towel around my waist before she flusters a little bit and looks at her phone in her hand as she bites her lip.

"Um, my boss just called me. Someone called in sick, so he asked if I could work later."

"Oh." I nod as I walk over to my wardrobe.

Things feel a little bit awkward, but I was expecting that. I just hope she doesn't regret what happened because I certainly don't.

She gets off the bed and adjusts her shorts as she stands up.

"Is it ok if I have a shower?" She asks.

"Yeah, of course." I nod.

I look through my wardrobe and glance over at her as she gets some of her things together. She walks over to the door and I stop her just before she leaves.

"I'll make us breakfast."

"Yeah, ok." She nods with a little smile and walks out.

I change into a white t-shirt and black trousers, and spray on some cologne before going downstairs. I know Maya isn't a big eater, so I make us something light: scrambled egg on toast. Just as I place the cooked food on the table and pour out the orange juice, Maya appears in the kitchen.

Her hair is a bit damp from her shower, and she's wearing a grey fitted jumper, with black skinny jeans. My eyes shoot to the necklace I bought her and I smile from seeing her wear it again.
