Rafael woke up the next morning to Olivia still in his bed. She was facing him and sleeping as the sunlight made the crown of her head shimmer. She was still as beautiful as ever as this was his reality. He sat up in bed and quietly stretched. Rafael puts on his glasses and brushes his teeth. Rafael settled on making breakfast and coffee for him and Olivia (black with hazelnut cream for him, and light and sweet with vanilla for her).

Olivia woke up about twenty minutes later to Rafael not in bed. She was concerned he had left her. She knew he wouldn't do that but she could feel her anxiety creeping up on her, until she smelled the familiar smell of breakfast and coffee. She then got out of bed and ran her fingers through her hair. Olivia then walked into the kitchen to see Rafael making breakfast.

"Good morning sleeping beauty."

"Who, me?" She says jokingly.

"Yes, you. You're beautiful."

He suddenly felt a pair of arms around his waist.

"What's on your mind?" He said as he turned around to kiss her.

"You should wear your glasses more often." She said as the mental image popped into her head of Rafael wearing his 3-piece suit with his glasses.

Rafael's lips curl up into his classic smirk.

"Oh. I'll keep that in mind. Now if you'll excuse me, breakfast won't cook itself"

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Sure Liv. I'm making omelets. I hope that's okay?"

"Sounds delicious. Do you have bacon?" Olivia said with a smile.

"Check the fridge."

Olvia opens the fridge and smiles as this already feels so routine. She was happier than ever spending her morning with the man she loves. She hands Rafael the bacon and he kisses her on the cheek before turning back to the pan. Olivia sits down to see that Rafael had made her coffee exactly how she likes it.

The eggs sizzle as they hit the pan and soon the smell of bacon fills the air. Olivia sips her coffee and watches as Rafael hums to himself moving around in the kitchen flipping the omelet with ease. She laughs as he flips the pan around to put the omelet on her plate

"One bacon and cheese omelet as requested."

"Why thank you sir. But what are you going to eat?"

"I figured we could share." He said as he pulled out two forks.

"I'd like that."

The couple sat down to eat their breakfast. They couldn't help but to smile at each other that last night was their reality. Olivia smiles at Rafael
