Sage's POV
Ring, ring, ring
Groaning I glance over at the alarm clock to see the time.
7:30am
Yeah hell no. It takes me no longer than a second to decide that I was going back to sleep. Just as i start to flip back over in the bed the noise comes back and louder.
Ring, ring, ring
Fuck are you kidding me—
"Are you going to get that?" Xan asks from across the room rather than right beside me. Oh so he's already awake? Rubbing my eyes I squint at him from where he's standing.
It takes a moment for my eyes to fully adjust but when they do I immediately notice that he's completely dressed. He wore a navy blue suit with a black tie, the tie looking a mess. He didn't say he was going anywhere last night.
"Good morning bellissima." His voice is sultry as he walks over to cut my alarm off for me. Xan leans down to place a kiss on my forehead. When he tries to kiss my lips I jerk away knowing I haven't brushed my teeth.
"Mornin' baby, where are you going?" I ask still a little groggy. He's just standing here looking all good and I probably look a hot ass mess.
"I'm about to sign a few more documents with my lawyer before the case is actually opened. If all goes well then we could have a court date after today." He says looking as proud as I feel of him.
The smile that grows on my face is involuntary. Thats great news. This journey has been a tough one but we're almost at the end.
"I love to hear that baby." I give him a once over. "You look handsome by the way."
A boyish smile comes behind those words and Jesus this man. Why does he have to be so fine?
"Don't turn me on right now." He warns but the words are harmless. With a small laugh I stand from the bed, stretching the sleep out of my body.
"Having trouble with that?" I nod towards the tie on his neck once i'm done.
"Yeah, it never works for me. I think I need my beautiful girlfriend to help me out." I scrunch my face up at him and he mimics me childishly.
"If you insist." I say with a droll tone. From there I teach him how to tie his tie for the hundredth time. I honestly believe the man knows how to do it on his own at this point—it's not that complicated. He just wants me to do it for him.
"And that's how you do it." I finish giving him a pat on his chest. Unsurprisingly when I look up he's looking at me and not at the tie.
"Were you even paying attention?" I sass dropping my hands to my hips. It's early and i'm a little annoyed. Sue me. His tongue swipes across his very pink bottom lip before speaking.
"Of course I was." He definitely was not. His hands come around my waist. "How many kids did you say you wanted again?"
"What?!" I cant help but laugh. Talk about random.
"I'm thinking about five."
Oh hell no.
"Five? Who the hell is going to push all that out?"
