Blinding Sights

As I stir awake I can't help but overthink. What did last night mean?  The night before? I mean, Lizzie did make it clear it was just a friendly kiss. She also said it would never happen again. Underneath it all I can't help but feel warm all around. Her touch is intoxicating.  

I observe her as she sleeps in my arms. Is it creepy? Maybe, but I can't help it. 

"Good morning."  I whisper as she stirs awake.

"Hi bug." she says in her raspy morning voice.

"Hi mi neña."  I say.

"I like when you call me that." she whispers making me feel warm inside.

"Well, I like when you call me bug." I tell her making her giggle. "How do you feel?" I ask slightly concerned.

"I feel fine actually, though last night is kind of a blur." Lizzie explains. Fuck. What does she remember? Does she remember our kiss? Does she remember that she kissed me? 

Once she notices my silence she speaks again. "Wait, I didn't make a fool of myself did I?" she says worriedly.

"No no. no, you didn't. It's just..." I begin to say but pause.

"Just what?" Lizzie asks.

"Do you not remember Nicole passing out in the hot tub last night?" I quickly ask not trying to make a fool out of myself.

"Oh, yes of course I remember that." she says while letting out a laugh, making me laugh along.

"Are you hungry?" I ask Lizzie.

"Yeah I am actually, what time is it?" Lizzie asks as she sits up.

"It's past noon." I respond.

"Holy fuck and you didn't wake me?".

"No you looked so peaceful sleeping." I say rubbing my eyes.

"You were watching me sleep? Weirdo." Lizzie teases.

"Uh yeah, by the way,  you snore."  I tease back earning a scoff out of her. 

"I do not!" Lizzie says as she grabs a pillow and throws it at my head.

"Not only that, you talk in your sleep too!" I say as she get off the bed and flips me off. My eyes gaze down to her ass when she walks out of the room into the bathroom. I go on to follow her. I have an extra toothbrush at her place since I stay the night often. We then go over to brush our teeth. Making silly faces at each other through the mirror.

Both of us make our way over to the kitchen once we finish. We decide to make spinach and mushroom omelettes for breakfast. 

"Okay I'll cut up the veggies." I say as I get a cutting board and a knife.

"Nope. You're my guest go sit down." Lizzie says as she motions for me to go sit down.

"But Lizzie" I whine.

"No but Lizzie, go sit your ass down." she states. I playfully roll my eyes when I know I'm not convincing her otherwise. She playfully slaps my butt when I make my way past her. I stick my tongue at her in return making her giggle.

I watch as she makes us breakfast. I smile when she put on her little concentrated face. Her eyebrows slightly furrow, her lips slightly fall apart, her eyes a little more wide than usual.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lizzie asks knocking me out of my gaze.

"Sorry, it's just you're cute." I simply say. I smile when she doesn't say anything in return, but watch as she begins to blush.
