Wicked Souls

81

Hours went by. It was morning.

He was still in the same position that he had been in for hours as the morning had already come.

He was still big spooning me in bed as he kept his hand wrapped around mine. However, he did not want to wake me when morning had come. He was enjoying this embrace as he felt his own body to be still feeling rather tired.

I kept sleeping since I haven't had much sleep lately.

He wanted to let me rest up as much as possible, but he realized that I hadn't had much sleep. When he was rather well rested with a good night's sleep. He didn't want me to wake up so he kept being very gentle with me as he wrapped both of his hands around mine, keeping me close to him and not waking me up.

He was waiting to see how long I'd sleep, as he wanted to make sure that I had enough rest after the few days of little sleep I'd had. He kept holding my hands and caressing them, he felt rather content with being a big spoon for me at this moment.

The alarm started to go off loudly, I started to stir from the loud sounds.

He had heard the alarm starting to go off loudly, this made him quickly realize how close to his usual wakeup time it was now. He slowly started to unwrap his arms from around me, as the sound of the alarm made him suddenly feel his tiredness hit his body again.

I rolled around and snuggled into the pillows before I mumbled. "You getting ready for work?"

"Yep..." He quickly replied to the quiet mumble as he got out of bed and stood up, he was already awake so he started to get ready for work. He slowly walked over to the mirror as he began to put his tie on, meanwhile, in the mirror, he also kept one eye on me.

I started to sit up and stretched my body.

He watched me as I started to sit up, he was still looking at me in the mirror. He watched me stretch my body which made him watch me even more closely as I slowly woke up from the alarm.

"I've got a blinding headache," I mumbled.

"Oh... Do you need an aspir-..." He was about to ask if I wanted to take a pill, but he stopped midway from this question. He realized that this might be from the fact that I hadn't slept much in the last few days. "Did you sleep well last night, love.." He asked with a soft tone and a slight smile as he spoke.

"A little bit." I started to sit up properly.

"Only a little bit hmm...?" He then slowly turned his head towards me once he finished tying his tie. He began to take his jacket from the chair and walked over to me when I sat up properly, he then placed a hand on my back and gently rubbed it as he spoke to me.

"Maybe you should eat something for breakfast since you haven't had anything, it might help ease off the headache and all that.." He then rubbed my back some more, as he was also thinking about what else he could do to help me. He then leaned over and gently kissed the top of my back.

"I don't know what to have." I yawned and rubbed my eyes.

He was still rubbing my back, as he saw me rubbing my eyes. He realized that I was still a bit sleepy as well.

"Hmm, how about... eggs and toast maybe? Would you like that?" He quickly asked me the question as he kept rubbing my back as well.

I nodded slowly, my head resting on his forearm before I muttered. "You won't be late to work right?"

"Don't worry, I'll only take a few minutes or so... But you know what?..." He then paused and kept rubbing my back as he looked at me with a loving gaze and a soft and gentle smile.

"Why don't I call in and tell them I won't be coming to work today?" He spoke with the same tone as well as with an added smile on his face, this made the offer sound more tempting.

"You sure?" I looked up at him with a soft look.

"Of course I'm sure.. I'll just call right now and tell them..." He then reached for his phone and he already took it out of his pocket. "Just rest for now, and I'll go call right now.." He then spoke with a warm and loving tone of voice as he gently held me by the arms and smiled at me. With that, he walked out of the bedroom to make the call to ask him not to come to work today.

I watched him leave the room, I could hear him speaking. I snuggled back into the blankets as I looked over at the alarm clock to see it was only 7 am.

From outside, he was speaking on the phone in a quiet voice as he had called his workplace. He was talking with his supervisor right now about him not coming to work because he needed to deal with something important today, which is me.

As the conversation went on, he was slowly standing up straight again as he came back inside the bedroom again. He gently shut the door behind him as he quickly walked over towards me. He had finished his quick conversation which was not much of a call as it was just a simple confirmation.

"Alright. I'm back, the call was quick... They agreed with me in not coming to work today."

I nodded and turned my head to look at him. "Were they mad?"

"They weren't." He chuckled a little bit as he walked towards me and he began to sit down on the bed next to me.

"They just asked if everything was alright at home and I said everything was fine, they just wanted to know if you were alright since the reason I'm not going to work is that I'm watching over you... The supervisor was also understanding of it all as he also has children, so he knows all about things like this."
