Inferno desires

Nova's POV:

I woke up to the warmth of Xavier's arm wrapped around my waist. He was breathing steadily, his chest rising and falling against my back.

I carefully try to pry his arms off of me, but that just made Xavier pull me in tighter. He kissed my neck softly, but with meaning.

"Morning mama," he says in his hoarsely morning voice.

"Good morning Xavier," I reply, turning my body around to face him.

He looked down to my lips, then up to my eyes, smiling a soft smile.

"Let's go have breakfast," he says, kissing my forehead.

"Okay," I nod.

We first brush our teeth, then I take my shower first as Xavier goes to check on Maya. I took a long one before getting dressed into some grey sweats, and a white crop top. I had my hair in braids since I thoroughly detangled my coils in the shower.

I was makeup free, and I felt cozy inside. Today was going to be a good day. I can feel it.

I walk out of my room to see Xavier carrying Maya around like a rocket ship. Maya was imitating the sound of one as she also giggled hysterically.

"Mamma look. I'm a rocket ship," she says, causing Xavier to hold her up higher in the air.

"I can see that," I laugh.

Xavier then places Maya down on the couch, and puts on a show for her to watch. His phone then rings, and he answers it in a cheerful tone.

"Hey mom," he says.

"Hurry back home. I need your help with something."

"Now?"

"Yes now!"

"Okay," he sighs. "I'll be there soon."

He puts his phone into his pocket, then ruffles his hair before looking at me with his trusting smile.

"My mom needs me home," he says. "Want to tag along?"

"Not this time Xavier. I really just want to stay home and hang with my daughter," I say.

"Understandable. I just really wanted you to meet my mom."

"Can I get a rain check on that offer. I'd love to meet her, but my mind is still processing what happened yesterday."

"Of course you can," he says, before kissing me intently.

"Not what I wanted to see first thing in the morning," sighs Oliver, trudging over to the breakfast table, and taking a seat.

"Do you have to say everything that comes to your mind," I say.

"Can't help it," he shrugs, looking at me with soft eyes, as he laid his head upon his arms that were against the surface of the table.

"I'll see you later mama," says Xavier, ignoring Oliver, and planting a soft kiss on my lips.

Xavier then walks over to Maya ruffling her hair, which causes her to smile, showcasing her dimples.

"Still on for tomorrow mija?"

"Of course."

"What's tomorrow?" I ask.

"Xavy, and I are having a playdate!" Beams Maya.

"I forgot to tell you," he says. "Sorry."

"No it's alright. Actually that helps me out a lot since Daniel wanted to hang out with me tomorrow, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to since Gigi has a day off," I say.
