Business With Lust

Diana's POV

I wake up with a familiar pair of arms wrapped around me. His head resting above mine on the pillow we shared, and I was tucked into his chest.

I smile at the position we ended up in, still getting used to waking up to Alex holding me.

His chest rose up and down as he slept peacefully. Bringing my hand up, I trace along his jaw, watching as his eyes slightly crease while his eyebrows furrow together. 

Smiling, I move my index finger up and run it across his lips.

Laughing quietly when one of his hands suddenly takes hold of my wrist, before pressing his lips to my knuckles gently. Looking half asleep with his eyes still closed, he releases his gentle grip on my wrist, moving his arm back around me and pulling me closer.

"Alex" I whisper, and he lets out a groan. "What" He mutters. From the few times he's stayed over, I've come to realise he isn't a morning person on his days off.

He's up before me on the days we have work, waking me up already dressed. But on the weekends? Good luck getting him up any time before twelve.

"It's one pm" I chuckle quietly, keeping my voice hushed since he's still half asleep. "Congrats on being able to read time"  Alex mutters while rolling onto his back, and I supress a laugh at his snarky comback.

With only one arm still wrapped around my waist, I'm able to slip out of his grip easily. I stand up, but my arm is grabbed and I'm pulled back onto the bed. Alex wraps his arms around me, resting his head on my stomach.

"Alex just because you're being a lazy prick doesn't mean I have to be" I chuckle, trying to sit up or move him away but hes practically a dead weight on top of me.

I sigh, before moving my hand down and slipping it in his brown hair, playing with his hair. He lets out a sigh of content, his hands tightening around me while he seems to relax even more.

I bask in this moment. Whenever Alex is being an annoying little shit, I'll think back to this time where he was adorable and relaxed. I continue to comb my hand through his hair, until I eventually hear the sound of his soft snores.

Feeling my eyes go heavy too, I allow myself to slip off back to sleep with Alex laying on my lower stomach.

M

y eyes flutter open, and I find myself with my head rested on Alex's chest. An arm is around my upper back, while his other hand is occupied by his phone.

Letting out a yawn, I look up, and Alex turns his attention to me and smiles. "Good morning" He smiles, and in the corner of my eye I see him throw his phone somewhere on the bed.

"What time is it?" I ask him. "Nearly three" He tells me, and I stare shocked. I've never slept in this late before. I didn't even know I was capable of sleeping for this long.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I mumble while sitting up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Why the fuck would I do that?".

"Because its the afternoon?" I tell him, and he shrugs. "If you're tired, I'm going to let you sleep" He says, and I roll my eyes playfully. I lean down placing a kiss to Alex's cheek, who smiles at me afterwards.

"I'm going to shower. You're welcome to join" I smile, causing him to grin. "Oh I'd love to, but not sure much cleaning would be done if I joined" Alex chuckles, and I nod, hiding my disappointment well as I smile and get out of bed, walking to the bathroom attached to my bedroom.
