Night life~

Chapter 12~ Living once more

After spending the night with Az, it showed a lot about a Mafia boss when they're alone. He needed to be back on his feet and this was just the plan for Valeria. If she can help him, it would give her a purpose but also it would help with her terrors.

Mikey was indeed a good role for her terrors as he had some in the past, now able to live and control them. Both men in her new life were important and she wants to keep it that way.

That morning, Valeria woke up quite soundly. She raised her arms up to stretch with a slight shake until her hand lightly touched his hair. She gasped and retracted her arm as her eyes opened to see who it was but then she noticed it was Az and her mind now recollecting where she was when she looked around. Her head hit back down on his pillow with a sigh of relief. 'ah~ glad I'm still here' Her eyes closed as she remained still for a moment.

Az was laying on his side, and despite the bump to his head when Valeria stretched, he didn't seem to move. His eyes remained closed, with one arm folded under his head for a pillow. After a moment, a soft mumble came from him as he shifted his top arm to drape across her midriff as she lay on her back.

The moment she felt an arm over her middle, she opened her eyes wide and stayed still 'Oh my godddd!' She thought as her head turned softly towards him just to see he was still sleeping. 'Ok ok, it's just a sleeping movement. He prob does that to his pillows or someone else. Calm the fuck down Val' she thought to herself once more.

His hand would clench the fabric of her top in its grip, his brows furrowing as he slept. It was evident he was having some sort of dream as one of the furrowed brows twitched a bit as well. Finally, his eyes opened a bit, the grip on her top releasing. A soft groan came from his throat as he began stirring awake.

Her eyes shifted down to his clenched hand before hearing a groan and watching his eyes open from their sleepy state. "Morning.." she stated softly in a soft tone, not to jolt him. She stayed still for a moment before turning to her side, gripping the pillow to fit in the comfort.

His arm left her body and raised up to his face, lightly rubbing it as he sat up. "Mmn..Mornin'.." He let out a loud yawn, followed by a soft cough. "Time is it..?" He spoke softly.

She turned and reached for her phone next to his and looked at the time ".. iiiiiiit's 9:50 am." She spoke out before turning back around to look at him. "Did you sleep well? How's your throat?"

As she told him the time he had swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stretched. His hair was a mess and his clothes were disheveled. "Slept fine. 'Bout as good as it's been." He looked back to her on his bed, the dark circles under his eyes still there. "Cmon. We gotta get moving." After, he went to the near closet before slipping off his shirt to toss it to the side. With his back to her, he began rifling through his clothes for something to wear.

She nodded to his words as she rose herself up slowly. Pulling the blankets off of her lower half, she sat at the edge for a moment just to end up peaking at him when he removed his shirt. 'C'mon, stop it, Val. Get ready like he said' she thought to herself before leaving the bed to walk out to get her bag with the clothes inside. Once she did, she walked back into the room to open it and took out a pair of leggings and a sweater. She faintly sighed, hesitating on getting ready to not slack the timing but, she was too shy and waited till he would leave the bedroom

He turned around in a very similar outfit to what we were wearing before, though the shirt was now blue instead of red. 'Oh, right..' He thought to himself as he blinked. "Guess you don't want me peepin' on ya." He chuckled softly, grabbing a clean pair of jeans before stepping out of the room and clicking the door shut. In the living room, he quickly finished getting ready before walking to the cabinet in the kitchenette. He reached up, grabbing a couple of protein bars for him and a sweeter granola bar for her as he waited.
