you got me in love again

Time together

Maries POV:

We woke up the same way, we have fallen asleep. Curled in the arms of the other.

"Good morning", I hear Leah whisper followed by a kiss to my head.

"Morning", I muffle back and close my eyes again. We lay there in a comfortable silence, enjoying the presence of the other.

I try to absorb the moment as much as I can and with all my senses. I enjoy the skin contact with Leah. Every touch feels like a little dance on my skin. I enjoy hearing her breath and her movements. I enjoy her scent. I breathe deep in. I don't ever want to smell another scent.

I cannot thank Laura enough, once I come back home. I am so happy Leah and I talked.

The silence gets interrupted by the sound of Leahs phone, she crawls over me and grabs it.

"Alessia", she states before she picks up and puts Less on speaker.

"Good morning Alessia", Leah says happy.

"Good morning. You sound happy.", Alessia answers. "I assume you are not alone then?", she sounds curious.

"How did you know that?", I laugh.

"Who do you think texted Laura that Leah was miserable?", she questions back.

"You are responsible for it?", I ask in realisation. It could have been so obvious, Less and Laura got along amazing and changed numbers at the party.

"I'll have to thank you then.", Leah expresses while I still process it.

"Me too.", I say quickly.

"No need to thank me, you were just too cute, and I could not see Leah like that for any longer.", she explains. "I will give you cuties your privacy now. See you." Less says goodbye and we do as well before Leah hangs up the phone and gives me a short kiss.

"Do you want to go out to have breakfast?", she asks, and I nod.

We quickly get ready and soon get out. Leah walks me to a café, a bit bigger than the one we were last time, but it still seems pretty unknown.

"You like unknown places, don't you?", I ask as Leah holds the door open for me and I walk in.

"Unknown places mean lesser people.", she answers, and we sit down at a table. "I am a bit known if you noticed.", she laughed, and I smile at her.

We both order pancakes with some seasonal berries and a large, black coffee.

"I am so glad, you came back to fix this.", Leah displays while we wait for our breakfast.

"Me too.", I respond. "We owe Laura and Less something."

"We'll figure something out.", she says as our food comes.

"Your flight goes tomorrow evening, right?", she asks and cuts one of her pancakes.

"Yeah, at 8 pm.", I answer doing the same. "Why?"

"Forgot our date?", she questions. As if I forgot it.

"Of course not.", I reply. "What do you have in mind?"

"I might have an idea, but I will keep this a surprise.", Leah answers, and I sigh.

"I hate surprises.", I mumble and take a sip of coffee.

"It would be better to go there in the evening though.", she says thinking.

"Could we go today?", I suggest.
