This time, I'm serious

Kiss or Miss?

Bruno awoke, the sun streaming through the window with a golden hue, and stretched his legs as he relished in the warm body pressed against him. He and Jas had slept face to face, mirroring each other, with one arm under the pillow, and his arm on her waist, her arm resting on top of his. He could smell the lingering scent of her shampoo in her hair as he pressed his lips to her forehead, taking in the beautiful sight before him.

Every single morning, he'd woken up feeling like the luckiest man in the world. He loved being so close to her, being able to take in every tiny portion of her being. Her long, long eyelashes, The few eyebrow hairs that stuck out haphazardly. The tiny, cluster of freckles on the side of her nose, and the single freckle high on her cheekbone. He couldn't help but kiss it. His heart fluttered with her eyelids as they opened, and he felt a rush of warmth run through him as he could almost hear every thought as it crossed her sleepy mind.

Waking up. Who's kissing me. Oh it's Bruno. Yay. Her lazy smile made him feel like the luckiest man in the world. He pulled her closer into him, pressing his lips back to her forehead, closing his eyes as he inhaled her scent. He felt himself drifting back to sleep, when suddenly, a shriek rang out across the room.

"No, no, no, don't!" Will squeaked, jumping to the end of his bed.

Everyone sat up, in varying states of sleep, looking confused and annoyed.

"He's ticklish!" Thabi pointed "Will's ticklish!"

Najuma gasped, as Will froze, slowly eyeing the door to the bedroom. Youcef was faster. He jumped up, blocking the doorway.

"I'm sorry, Willem. You know what this means."

Will stood, backing away, ready to sprint towards the dressing rooms. "No... no... Youcef... I'm warning you!"

"Wait... Willem? I thought it was William ?" Thabi questioned

Will shook his head, momentarily distracted. "Nah! It's Willem!"

Najuma took advantage of his distraction, and crept up behind him, slowly, as Angie got up and rounded on him from the other side. She leapt towards him, as Will avoided them at the last second with a flying leap onto Bruno & Jas's bed. Jas acted quickly, grabbing him and wrapping her arms and legs around him like a backpack.

Bruno beamed "Yes babe! You got him!"

"Quick Thabi!" Jas yelled, laughing, drowning out Will's cries of protest.

"Betrayer! Jas! I thought we were friends!"

Will wriggled out of her grasp just in time as Thabi pounced, he sprinted towards the exit, shouting "You'll never take me alive!" as most of the others raced out after him, laughing hysterically.

Bruno laughed, sighing loudly, lying back down, arms outstretched, not wanting to get out of bed just yet.

*********************

Jas flopped back down on the bed, laughing, as Bruno wrapped his arms around her once more. She felt so safe, pressed against him. She leant her head against his chest, inhaling the scent of him. God, he smelled so good in the mornings. Something rich, deep, and masculine. She imagined how nice it would be to wake up to him every morning. She lifted her chin so she could look at him, taking him in.

His eyes were closed, but she knew he was awake from the contented smile on his lips. He stroked her thigh with his thumb, rhythmically tracing lines back and forth along her skin. It felt nice.

He shifted his hand and stroked her with all of his fingers, running them softly up and down her thigh, stopping just shy of the edge of her satin romper. The feeling of his fingers flicking just underneath the fabric made her moan, softly.
