alex's eyes flutter open slowly when the daylight peeking through the sheer white curtain hits her face and she's waking up in the sun burning lowly on her skin - that's when she realized there are two strong tattooed arms holding her close while their legs are tangled under the thick fluffy white blanket in her california king-sized bed.
what a pretty man, alex whispers to herself as her gaze is carressing every nook and crook of his handsome face. she doesn't even realize that her fingers are already hovering over his head to run them soothingly through his brunette strands.
he lowly purrs to the soft contact as his eyelids fly open, revealing beautiful green eyes with yellow swirls of honey.
"good morning, beautiful," he spoke with a tired smile etched on his face, his voice sandy with his beauty sleep.
"mornin'," alex whispers sweetly as she curves a smile followed by a little grin, seeing the man is struggling to open his eyes while her fingers are still running through his hair softly.
"fuck," he suddenly curses, causing alex's eyebrows to tie into a knot. "tell me that today isn't tuesday."
despite her just being recently awake, her brain is quick to realize what day is it today.
"it is tuesday." she states, but it does feel like a saturday morning. last night felt like a friday night to her - from the time he picked her up from work, going out together for dinner and around the town, and back home to make sweet love until it's very really late at night, without a care in the world for tomorrow.
he lets out a long sigh, before she later interrupts, "tell me you've got nowhere to be." her eyes fall to his chest before she hangs her head back up again, her dark brown eyes are glittering with hopes. her puppy eyes has never failed to make him weak.
"unfortunately, i've got somewhere to go, baby. i gotta work." he murmurs low enough for her to hear. his eyes move from her sleepy face to the glowing numbers on the clock that is standing by the bedside table.
7.37 a.m.
he's only got less than 20 minutes before he clocks in for work.
she watches him gather all of his energy to get up, despite her being a strong magnetic power to make him fall back down. she has errands to run too, but she doesn't really feel like it today.
he is still sitting in bed when she sits up too, opening her arms to hug the bigger frame of his body from behind and tenderly resting her head on his shoulder.
"baby." he sighed again, he knows that her whole existence at the very moment is his kryptonite.
"can we just stay all day?" she whispers before planting a tender kiss on his shoulder.
"mm, you're making it so hard to say no." this time, he turns to face her then he inhales every inch of her pretty face - messy brunette locks that falls to her shoulders with bangs that almost cover one side of her face, bushy eyebrows, thick lashes, big brown eyes, cute little nose and two bunny teeth partly on show behind her cherry-kissed lips. her fingers are gripping tight at the thick blanket on her chest covering her breasts down to her legs.
she's so effortlessly pretty, he thinks to himself, and I am just so lucky.
when he finally pulls himself together, he separates himself from her and gets out of the bed naked. he notices instantly that she has a sad look on her face, her puppy eyes are still there.
"goddamn it, baby." he sighs again, for the countless time just in the past few minutes. alex falls back in bed, her eyes are on him, watching him stretch and sigh.
