Sweet Revenge

XXXII

I groaned starting to wake up, the light of the sun brushing my face slightly; bringing my hand to my eyes I started rubbing them softly yawning at the same time.
Frowning a little, I opened my eyes trying to get them used to the light coming from the window; only after did I notice that I was lying on my stomach on something hard so I raised my head, bringing the back of my hand up to my face again to rub my eye, and realized I was laying on Nicolai.

He was sleeping peacefully with one arm covering his eyes, his lips slightly parted, his black hair messy and with some strands falling on his forehead.
Smiling softly at the sight, I rested my chin on his chest and just laid there admiring the man under me for a while.

Like a wave the events of the previous night overwhelmed me.
We ate, we had fun, then Nicolai and I saw a movie and ... just before falling asleep I heard him say something.
Something he said other times but this time there was something in his voice, something that made it...special and caused my smile to widened and my stomach to do something weird.

In that moment I was scared as much as I was happy.
I had no idea how to open up emotionally to someone, allow them to really know me and know my story but I'll try, I'll try to let myself be loved and love again putting my fears aside.
With this last thought I closed my eyes and remained in that position for a few minutes letting the morning sun light warm my face while thinking about many things, including the fact that that was probably the best sleep I had in a while.

My eyes flew open as realization hit me, we were supposed to be at work today and not sleeping.

I began to look for my phone around the couch to check the time.
"Hmm, stay still"
Nicolai groaned shifting his position and caging me between his arm still sleeping.
"Nicolai wake up"

I told him shaking him with one hand while with the other I was still looking for my phone everywhere not finding it tho, then I suddenly remembered that last night I left it in my room so I got up from above him accidentally crushing him in the process.
"Sorry and wake up!"
I muttered quickly and ran into my room.
As soon as I saw the phone on the bed I picked it up and turned it on; I increased the brightness and when I saw the time my eyes grew wide.
We were three hours late for work and he had two meetings to attend to.

I threw the phone on the bed and ran to the living room again to see if he was awake but he was still sleeping, this time on his stomach with one leg hanging down from the sofa; I approached him and told him to wake up but he simply groaned in response.

"Nicolai wake up!"
This time I gave him a small kick on the foot which was out of the couch and it seemed to work as he started to stir awake finally.
"What?"
He whined yawning while opening his eyes and, noticing the way his hair was I had to stiff a laugh.
"You're late for work, it's past ten"
At my words his eyes widened and he almost jumped up from the sofa putting on his slippers, or at least trying to put them on.

"Merda (shit) I had important meetings this morning"
He said struggling to put on the second slipper that kept slipping, I stood there watching him with my arms crossed amused by his frustration.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
He said shifting his attention up to me giving me a quick glare; I looked at him incredulously but before I could even answer he ran away.
"Well I tried to!"
I yelled at him throwing my arms in the air, sighing I then also went to get ready.

Once I finished getting dressed I went to the kitchen while fixing my tie and saw Nicolai already there who was adjusting the cuffs of his suit and this time his hair was styled back with some gel but, like usual, had two strands falling on his forehead.
Taking the keys from above the kitchen counter, I went to the door, but I stopped hearing his voice.
