IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT (COMPLETED)

LAST CHAPTER

I slept with him for the first time in my darkened nighttime bedroom.

Our breath mingled, I heard him tell me he loved me....

And I was happy to return his affection.

Then...

I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock.

Oh...

His arm remained around my waist and he had an almost feverish languidness about him...

I gazed at the man sleeping next to me with a content, happy feeling.

"Good morning..."

Alan open up his eyes lazily..

"Oh..."he said huskily.

It grew a little awkward and we both averted our gaze.

Its like, this is the first time I've seen someone's face in the morning...

But Alan's blushing to his ears too....

"I'd better make breakfast,"I said.

"Right."

But Alan still held onto me tightly.

"I'll have to get up for that,"I reminded him.

"...Just five more minutes..."

I look at him....he look so cute...

"I'm still tired..."he said.

"..Just five minutes, okay?"

Honestly, I wish I could be this way for another ten minutes or even another hour...

I snuggled up against my husband and close my eyes, enjoying a mere five minutes of extra leisure.

"Hey, how's the next new project coming along ?"Michael asked.

"The animal ear cafe? The table settings I proposed the other day got a no reply. I'm in a bit of bind."

"Oh? The antique stuff was no good?"

"They said the idea wasnt bad but it was financially unfeasible."

"Oh I see. Guess you'll either have to downgrade the furniture..or find a place that sells it cheap,"he advised.

"Jefg!" Nueng cries out. "We received data on the waitress uniforms from the client. Get a look at this!"

I looked at what he showed me and my jaw nearly dropped.

"What? They wear that?"

"Its different from what we heard, isnt it? Geez..I'm going to rethink the whole restaurant atmosphere."

"Phew... I finally hit my goal..."

Oh geez, its this late already? I wont make it in time for the last train..!

"Want to head home together Jeff? I just got myself done."

"Really? Thanks Michael, I'd appreciate it!"

"Not fair Michael! Could you drop me off too?"Nueng said out loud.

"Okay, okay.."

Once the taxi dropped Nueng off at his house, Michael and I headed for our neighbourhood.

*yawn*

"Geez...Its 1am already. I hope your husband isnt waiting up for you."

"He apparently has overtime too. I just received a text from him saying that he was on his way home."
