-Sunday 1:45 PM; Mitchell's Eyes-
I rolled on my side half asleep and kept feeling this weird wetness on my fingers, then something pricked me.
Startled, I shot up realizing it was just Papa nibbling on my fingers...Aleigha's naked body was rolled over with her face buried in a pillow.
Where is my underwear?
I got up and brushed my teeth. Man, my arms were sore. I noticed a small love bite on my shoulder.
"That's my girl..." I rolled my shoulders out and stretched side to side. I grabbed two towels from her cabinet and went to turn the shower on, then I remembered to play the morning playlist she made me.
Water My Heart by Rum.gold (and Mereba)
I wanna wrap you in my lonely
All of your weight just put it on me
Water my heart I feel it growing.
"What is this supposed to be?" I pressed the power button on this trash bin looking thing.
"It's a towel warmer baby. I bought it after I got papa, he prefers warm towels after his baths now so do I." Aleigha snuck behind me kissing my back.
"You sneakin' up on me girl?" I kissed her neck, "Join me?"
"Na-tur-ium...Native...Hey which one of these can I use?"
I felt this scratchy texture on my back and then she said, "I like to use both".
"Why do you have mittens on?"
She giggled, "they're exfoliating gloves Mitchell".
"Hold on, I got you a pair!" She stepped out of the shower and rambled through the cabinet in her room before joining me again.
"Put them on" She held a pair out.
"I think I'll pass...Fine".
These actually aren't bad...
*The two showered, and were enjoying their McDonald's brunch on her bed. Aleigha finished and was drinking her iced caramel coffee and laughing at Fran on The Nanny. Mitchell was eating a second sausage egg and cheese McGriddle with a hash brown and ketchup wedged inside*
"Mmmmm" I was starving.
I felt Aleigha crawling over to me, so I looked back.
"What, Wanna bite?"
"Uhm, no thank you that doesn't look appetizing whatsoever. I just want to be near you." She laughed at me. I shrugged it off and took another bite.
"Can I ask you something?"
She nodded and looked me in my eyes.
I love how I always had her undivided attention.
"Why'd you call me last night? I mean, last time we spoke you didn't really seem happy with me. We didn't go long without speaking but still...Why so late at night?"
"To be honest, I called you because I missed you and I wanted you to hold me. I was thinking about you all day, baby. I felt bad for the way I voiced my frustration to you. Mitchell - I love you. I don't want you to think that because of my age I don't want anything serious, ya know? You're almost 40 so-".
"Aleigha, I'm 31! I have a long way to go before 40."
Aleigha blinked. "Okay old man".
I couldn't help but laugh. "Le I'm serious about us. I want you, only you."
