The cure for my madness

Part 28: Romantic day

The sun was gleaming through the blinds and made my nose scrunch in discomfort since the sun focused on shining on my eyelids. I moved around in the bed under the sheets, it made him groan some as I subconsciously stole the sheets.

- "Give me some, I'm freezing." He said half awake as he pulled the sheets close to him and went back to sleep.

He pulled them so fast that it made me awake in a second. My eyes snapped open and I kept looking around in the room, realizing where I was. I had fallen asleep so deeply that I forgot where I was. As I slowly took in everything around me I heard coffee being made, the splashing sounds while it was getting poured in cups. The radio in the kitchen was on and some old tunes by Sinatra were playing. Everything made me feel so at home, so comforted.

I looked over at him still sleeping under the sheets, he was so satisfied to have them to himself. I slowly crawled close to him under the sheets. Even if he was asleep, he opened his arms and let me cuddle up real close to him. I smiled to myself over the fact I was so lucky to be with him, to have him love me so much and adore me to an extreme. I kissed his hand while he held mine in his sleep. I turned around and now facing him instead of spooning him, still close to him.

- "Are you going to wake up soon?" I whispered to him as I stroked his hair, looking so loving at him and smiled some more.

- "Mhm...Soon, give me five minutes, Babe." His voice was deep and dreamy. I looked over at the old clock. The red lightning numbers were showing 10:07. I let him sleep, I thought to myself. I snuggled up close to him again and just enjoyed being able to sleep so close to him. He pressed his lips to my forehead before we both drifted away back to sleep.

We slept for another 30 minutes, we could have slept the whole day if it wasn't for that we got woken up by a gentle knock.

- "Do you want breakfast? We made you some but it's getting cold." It was his mom. Alex slowly woke up and tried to think of an answer.

- "Yeah we will come soon, thanks mum." I was pretending to be asleep just so I could be close to him. I felt his arm switch around under me, it was making me slightly more awake the more he did it.

- "Love, are you awake?" I couldn't see it but I could feel his loving eyes looking at me, the thought of how he must have looked at me made me smile.

- "So you are awake then." He laughed and I opened my eyes to see his precious smile which made me smile even more. I turned around and buried my face in the pillow as I giggled some.

- "Where are you babe? Please look at me." His mouth was close to my ear and he whispered so it made me get goosebumps, the good kind. I felt him ticklinging me on every sensitive spot I have. My body got so panicked and I moved around, laughter only only came out of my mouth.

- "Okay fine I will go up, just if you stop tickling me!" I said with a laugh between the words. He stopped and he looked me right in the eyes and his smile faded, everything became so serious all the sudden. His lips met mine as we shared a quick kiss. I felt so lucky being with him.

We walked to the kitchen and joined the others. His dad sat at the kitchen table and had a newspaper in his hands and he looked up from it to see us.

- "Good night sleep?" Before we could reply I heard a sigh from his mom.

- "Put some clothes on, Please Alex." She looked at him up and down and he was only in a boxer and a t-shirt.

- "I'm going to take a shower, I was just following Dol to the kitchen. Calm down."

- "Did you sleep well Dol?" She ignored him and focused on me instead.

- "Yeah, I slept really well. Sorry it took a while for us to get up." I said and stared at the table nervously.

- "It sounded like you had fun though." His dad said and gave me a side eye but his smile made his eyes feel less judgy.

- "You do seem so happy together Dol, it makes me happy to see." She said as she sat down at the table, handing me a cup of coffee.

- "Thanks for the cup, you got any sugar and cream?" I didn't know what to say to her comment, would thank you be a good reply? Or maybe yeah I'm really happy. It all made me uncomfortable for some reason.

- "Sure yeah we got some, I didn't know how you liked your coffee."

- "Thank you." I whispered so quietly but they still seemed to hear me because they both smiled at me.

- "So,any plans today then? Although the day has almost passed." He looked over his newspaper again at me.

- "Ehh well Alex said he planned something but i'm not sure what yet. Surprises scare me some." I smiled to make it less awkward. It was true though, surprises scare me. Marcus was so unpredictable yet I still knew what he would do. All of his surprises were scary.

- "I'm sure whatever he has planned it will be a fun day." I hope she was right. I was about to say something but a certain smell made me unable to concentrate. Alex was done showering and I could smell the clean scent. Steam came out of the bathroom door when he walked out.

- "I will be right back." I didn't even look at them when I said that because I was hoping to see him from the kitchen table. They probably shook their heads at how desperate I am for him, I know it's pathetic.

When I entered our room we stayed in, I saw him with wet hair and only a towel around his hips and he was looking through his bag.

- "Looking good, sexy." I said and leaned toward the door frame. He turned around and I smirked at him.

- "Why didn't you shower this morning?" I was confused at his question, it was weird he shower and didn't ask me to join. He walked up close to me and I could smell his scent better and I looked up and down at him. My mouth got dry as I looked at his wet chest with his gold chain shining as much as his chest did. I didn't notice how much I was staring.

- "You like what you see babe?" He made me look at him in his eyes and he loved that he could make me so focused, so distracted just by looking at him. His smirk made me fall in love with him all over again, it was driving me crazy. Just words from him could make my knees weak.

- "Get dressed now, I want to know what the surprise is." My hand felt his chest and I gave him a little kiss.

- "Will do."

We spent the rest of the day in Sheffield and he showed me around where he spent his free time as a child. It felt so special he shared all of his childhood memories. He shared the good ones so we laughed, he also shared the sad memories. After that day I loved him slightly more for being so vulnerable with me. I knew he was the one for me...
