The sun shinning through the large open window of the master bedroom was what eventually woke Natalie. It took her a while to really comprehend where she was. The room was foreign, it was not the small cramped bedroom of her apartment building that it should have been. Instead, when she sat up, she could see that this was a large expensively decorated bedroom with a small couch and chair in front of a wall mounted TV, and huge windows that were open to show an amazing view of the valley.
"What the ..." Natalie's voice trailed off as she looked around, slowly realizing that she must still be in Coopers house. "Hello? Cooper?" She called out from her spot on the bed, hoping Cooper was within earshot with a good excuse for her current situation.
Being half asleep from the drugs she was given the previous night, Natalie was slow-moving and confused. Getting up off the bed and stumbling around Natalie looked for her cell phone. She was unsuccessful. It eventually occurred to her that she should leave and look for a way home.
She staggered to the first door to her left, it was the bathroom, there was no way out from there. So she slowly made her way over to the next door. Pulling on the handle was useless, it was latched from the other side. Banging on the door and yelling out, Natalie was sure she had heard footsteps running down the hallway. Her shouts were ignored.
"Hello! Help! I'm locked in here!" Natalie was growing increasingly tired, she had to lay back down before she fell asleep standing up.
The woman barely made it to the bed before she was passed out. Her body only half under the covers. She fell into a deep dreamless sleep once again.
Overwhelming tiredness and the absolute confusion of her morning had Natalie so preoccupied, she never had a chance to notice her clothing. She was no longer in the outfit she had chosen to wear for her date the night before. Cooper had all of her clothing brought over, but he still chose to dress his new woman in one of his old t-shirts and a pair of his pyjama pants. He thought there was something absolutely adorable about the way she looked like she was swimming in them.
As tempting as it was Cooper had barely touched her, besides when he carried her upstairs to bed. Sure he had taken in as much as his eyes would allow, her body was a piece of art, but he only touched enough of her to change her.
There was a slight knock on the outside of the door. Cooper had no intentions of stopping if he was told not to enter, it was his house after all. But he felt like being polite today.
"Hello, baby." His words fell on deaf ears as he entered the bedroom. "Well, fuck." Speaking to himself now he saw that Natalie was still asleep.
Sending off a quick text to Darren, scolding him for lying and making him rush what he was doing downstairs for no reason.
COOPER: wtf? She's still sleeping!
DARREN: She was banging on the door and yelling
DARREN: I swear!
Cooper wasn't too upset, not really. He had rushed in the PlayRoom, but now that he was standing here looking at Natalie on the bed wearing his clothes, he was so head over heels for her there was nothing he would rather be doing. He could watch her sleep forever.
Carefully pushing her over to the middle of the bed, Cooper scooted in behind her. Laying himself flat he turned her over slightly so she was cuddling his chest. This is how he wanted her to wake up, in his arms.
It was about an hour later before Natalie began to stir. Cooper kept her nestled into him, but could tell she was waking up when she began to mumble words in her sleep. At first it had startled Cooper. He had been busy scrolling through the offending deadman's cellphone. But now he thought it was just another of the many cute traits she possessed.
"Natalie, Natalie? Time to wake up." Cooper said, growing impatient. He wanted to hear her voice again.
Watching her wake up was magical. She burrowed further into Coopers chest and mumbling something about the sunlight. Slowly she began to come to her senses. Realizing that she was lying on something hard and not pillow-like, she looked up into the eyes of her admirer.
"Oh my goodness!" She sat up with a small shriek as a light blush began to form on her cheeks.
"Morning, Darling" Coopers minty breath and chipper attitude told Natalie that he had been awake for a while. "Ready for breakfast?"
Natalie didn't remember waking up a short time ago. She looked around the room with renewed confusion. "Where are w-" She began to question before she saw the window and recognized where they were. "Are we in your bedroom?" The weirdness of her situation not quite sinking in.
"You fell asleep and I, being the gentleman that I am, didn't want to wake you." Cooper had to hold back a grin at the way she so easily accepted his words. Pushing the blankets off himself he stood from the bed and began to walk towards the door.
"Oh... right. Well, thank you." Natalie struggled underneath her side of the blankets but eventually untangles herself and got up. "Wait." She finally saw they clothing she had been dressed in. "Did you... undress me?" Suddenly feeling wary.
"You are a very heavy sleeper." Cooper chuckled.
"You can't just- You shouldn't have-" Natalie was at a loss for words. A man had taken her clothes off of her and touched her body enough to put new ones on. How had she not woken up?
"Babe. Look, you couldn't sleep in that pretty little dress of yours, and I didn't think you'd want to sleep beside me naked! What was I supposed to do?" Coopers poker face was amazing.
"Did you, you know, see anything?" Natalie vaguely gestured to her body, a crimson colour flooding her cheeks at the thought of someone seeing her naked while she slept.
"Of course not. Do you think I'm some sort of perv? You're still wearing your bra and panties." Cooper gasped in fake offence, trying his hardest not to think about how much he really did get to see and the little bit he allowed himself to touch.
"No no! I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I swear, Cooper. Look, I should really be going. Thank you so much for everything." Natalie was appalled by herself. She had somehow managed to be rude to this poor man again. She felt terrible for insinuating that he might have been the type of man to do something like that.
"Nonsense, you're not going anywhere, its breakfast time." Brushing off her guilt and apology, Cooper opened the door he was standing in front of and motioned for her to go first.
"No really, I have school this afternoon. I'm probably already going to be late, and it'll take forever to get back to the other side of town." Cooper watched her ramble on and look around, presumably for her clothing and cellphone. He had taken both and until he could trust her, she wouldn't be getting either back.
"Natalie, stop. We're going downstairs for breakfast." Cooper made sure to speak with authority and finality. He didn't want to frighten her, but she needed to know who was in charge.
Shrinking in on herself at his words, Natalie felt like she was in irate child being spoken to by a parent. "Okay." Thinking that she was already late so a little breakfast wouldn't hurt, she agreed. She didn't want Cooper to be upset with her, he had been so nice to her up to now after all.
"After you then." Cooper loved the rush he got from having his orders followed, but it was a whole other level to have Natalie follow them. She didn't even argue too much. He felt like he was on a high.
