The cure for my madness

Part 8: Meeting the family

The next morning I woke up with one of his arms around me and I was lying on his bare chest, hearing his heavy breaths. I looked up to check on him, he was still sleeping. He looked so cute when he was sleeping. Some of his hair fell on his eyes and his nose. What even happened last night? Luckily I didn't have any work today even if it was a Monday morning. I could see the street outside from his window from the bed. The street looked very empty, it made me curious what time it was. But I didn't want to let him go to check the time, he felt so warm in the cold room. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to something that got knocked down.

-"Fuckin' hell." I heard Alex from his kitchen. I waited in his bed until he entered the bedroom. He was standing in the doorway, wearing only a black t-shirt.

-"Mornin' sleepyhead." He said and looked at me with a smile. Then he threw himself on the bed to give me a little morning kiss. He smiled against my lips. I sat myself up with the quilt around my breast and felt myself blush. I ran my fingers in his soft hair. I felt his nose tip touch mine. We now had eye contact and it made us giggle like kids.

-"You hungry? I have fixed some breakfast."

-"I would love some breakfast. But I need to dress myself first."

-"I will wait for you in the kitchen then."

I put on my clothes that were just thrown around the bedroom yesterday. My hair felt messy when I ran my fingers through it. I walked out of his room to see him sitting at the table. The table was filled with alot of breakfast options. I was completely shocked, the fact he did all of this just for me.

-"I didn't know what you liked so I bought some options. I ran down to a shop nearby when you were sleeping." He said nervously, not knowing how to act after what happened the night before. He had fixed the most luxurious breakfast I have ever seen. Four types of juices, different types of breads and fresh fruit.

-"You really didn't have to do all of this Al." I said as I sat down on a chair opposite to him. Why was he so caring of me? What did I do to deserve all of this? He responded with a smile.

-"You deserve this Dol." I gave a smile back to him.

-"I'm sorry if the scrambled eggs are a bit dry, my friend Miles always complains about it."

-"No, they are perfect. I prefer them kinda dry anyways." He laughed at my comment.

-"What's your plans for today?" He asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

-"I don't know yet. I have no work today so that's a relief. What about you?" I said as I took a sip of orange juice.

-"Nothing really."

My phone rang out of nowhere. It was my brother Leon who was calling, it was rare that he called so I had to answer.

-"I'm sorry I just have to take this." I said to Alex who just smiled in response.

-"Hello?"

-"Where are you?"

-"What do you mean?"

-"All of the siblings were supposed to meet up at the mall to buy our parents a christmas gift. Have you forgotten? We do it every year on the 14th december."

--"Um yeah sorry i have forgotten. But I will be there in 10 min." Then I hung up the phone.

-"Shit i forgot I have to meet my siblings at the mall. Can you please give me a ride to the mall?"

-"Of course."

Instead of dropping me off he parked his car outside the mall.

-"I need to do some Christmas shopping as well."
