Theo

Waking up to someone in my arms isn't something I'm used to. Valentina's hair tickles my face the more I push myself into her neck. The warmth radiates off of her skin and the smell of her hair soothes me enough to the point I actually may fall back asleep.

That is till she pulls away at the sound of a loud alarm. Valentina gently pries me off of her and reaches over to stop the sound coming from her phone.

She falls back to the bed and turns to look at me. "Good morning." She smiles when she sees me awake and shuffles closer to me, throwing an arm over my stomach.

"Morning." I clear my throat feeling it come out unusually raspy. I slither my arm under her body, placing it on her lower back. "You got somewhere to be?"

She shakes her head. "Not today. And I've been up for a while."

My brows scrunch, "Why?" I caress her back with my fingers feeling her soft, warm skin.

"The sun." She scrunches her nose. "I would've gotten out of bed a while ago but I didn't want to wake you."

I laugh and pull her closer. "Then I guess we have to get you those curtains."

"Yeah." She nods, "it's eight by the way. I didn't know if you had to get to work or not."

I deflate at the thought of leaving her. I love being with Valentina. I love getting to see her smile and getting to hear her laugh. I've grown addicted to her presence. "Maybe..." I grab a piece of her hair and twirl it around my finger, "maybe you can come to my work around lunch time and we can go somewhere together."

Valentina looks up at me with surprise. "Really?"

"Yes really." I chuckle and tuck her hair behind her ear. "I don't care if we've been with each other the entire night Valentina, I want you to come see me okay?"

"Okay." Her cheeks get covered by pink botches which makes her dig her face into my chest. She grips my shirt between her fingers tightly before pulling away, "you have to leave now?"

I grab her hair — that I love so much — between my fingers again and shake my head. "I can go in at ten."

"Are you sure?" She questions leaning over me slightly.  When I nod she smiles sweetly, "lets go freshen up, I have a new toothbrush you can use."

As soon as she finishes washing her face after we've brushed our teeth she turns around and wraps her arms around my neck. "Hi." She whispers and presses her body against mine.

I try not to let my breath get caught in my throat when I feel every detail of her body through her thin shirt and pants. "Hi-" she catches me off guard when she pushes her lips against mine.

I groan and let my hands mold to her body. I grab her hips feeling her soft skin from where her shirt has risen and pull her closer.

"You drive me crazy baby and you don't even know it." My head falls back against the wall when she starts kissing me down my neck. I take a deep breath letting her have a few more seconds before I pick her up and wrap her legs around my waist.

She gasps and clutches my shoulders tightly between her fingers. "Theo?"

"Yes amor?" I walk her back to her bed and get distracted when she gently cups my face and kisses me slowly.

I groan loving the way she tastes. I could never get tired of her. My mind has been stuck on last night every sound she made, every look that passed over her face, how she felt. It was unbelievable and I can't stop thinking about it especially when I drop her on her bed and hover over her.
