nauseous

When the dim sunlight goes through the curtain, I slowly open my eyes and yawn before rubbing my hands against my face to help me fully wake up. My sight meets Kevin laying next to me, siding towards me. His hair covering his face sank into the pillow and his breath slow and relaxed. Only at that moment, I realised he has his arm wrapped around my waist. I enjoy the moment for some seconds, knowing that I won't see this peaceful side of him for some hours. I move my eyes to his shoulder, checking on the bandage and seeing that it is still wrapped inside the white tape and it's a bit swallow around. Then I move my focus on the time, it's nine o'clock and I think it's the right time to leave. I have to go back home, take a shower change my clothes so I can be ready to go to Daniele.

I slightly move and try to unwrap my body from Kevin's grip but when I am almost free, he catches me back and pulls against him. «No,» he suddenly murmurs with a hoarse voice and pushes his face into my neck. «Whatever you're thinking, it's a no.» His voice is deeper in the morning.

«I have to go back home, Kevin,» I whisper holding a laugh. «I need to shower, change my clothes and be ready to meet Daniele,» I warn him, trying to stay focused since I can feel his breath against my neck, slowly making my mind blur.

It's a warm good sensation that can make me weak.

«You can do all of that here,» he retorts and his words tremble against my skin.

«No,» I say firmly gripping his arm and trying to push it away but it's a lot of effort since his stiff hold isn't making it easy. «I'll take your Mazda to go back and we will see each other directly at Daniele's, okay?»

He finally leaves my neck and lifts his head, so our eyes meet. His drowsy blue eyes glued on mine. «Do I have some answer options?»

I shake my head, chuckling at his sleepy confused face. «I am sure you trust me using your car, right?»

«Of course I do,» he replies with a smile on his face before sighing and rolling his body on his back, letting me go. «Text me when you're back home and when you're leaving to go to Daniele.»

I roll my eyes. «Yes, Dad,» I joke laying in his direction to leave a kiss on his cheek.

When I move back, he is faster than me and brings his hand on the back of my head, pushing me back down and kissing me directly on the lips. It was a surprise move and I wasn't ready for that but I kiss him back, knowing that what I started yesterday is something that will affect our days from now on.

When he slightly moves back, he is smirking. «It's good to do it without overthinking.»

I nod, smiling at him before rolling out of the bed. Taking my stuff, I frown. «Is there any chance you have a pair of shoes I can borrow?» I chuckle turning my head to look at him.

He is laying down on his back, the blanket pushed down and covering only his lower body. His arm lids his face before he moves it away to meet my eyes. «I am pretty sure we don't have the same number and no girls ever entered this house.»

I huff nodding. I'll drive barefoot. «How is the shoulder?» I ask while reaching the door and stopping right there.

He takes a look over the injured point. «It's okay, it doesn't hurt for now.»

«Just, please, take another pill. It will help you face the day,» I suggest.

Kevin lifts his head to look at me. «Yes, Mom,» he mocks me with an amused smile and I roll my eyes.

«What the fuck happened to you, kids?»

Kevin has just arrived and when all three of us are together, Daniele couldn't handle his thoughts to see how tired and devastated we look. I tried to cover all my tiredness with makeup, but it doesn't make miracles so basically you can read my mood on my face. And Kevin also tried to hide it with his usual charming smile, but apparently, you can't hide anything from an investigator.
