I feel his arms still around me when I wake up for work the next morning. He's a heavy sleeper so the quiet alarm I have set doesn't wake him up.

I carefully get out of his hold and step onto the cold floor before putting on my slippers. I go to the bathroom and wash my face with water. I didn't get anywhere near enough sleep last night so I'm barely surviving right now. What a joy.

I walk out of the bathroom and see Pedri still sleeping peacefully. He looks so calm when he sleeps that I could literally just stare at him all the time. This man is literally perfect inside and out, how is that even possible?

I finish getting ready and eating breakfast and then I go back to my room right before I have to leave. I kiss his forehead and he wakes up.

"Sorry." I whisper as he rubs his eyes.

"It's fine." he mutters, sitting up. "Have a good day at work, amor."

"Thank you." I say. "When's your physiotherapy session?"

"It starts at one thirty." he says.

"I can drive you if you want, it's not far from here, right?" I ask.

"Not even ten minutes." he says. "But don't worry about it."

"Okay, cool, I'll be here at ten past one then. I love you." I say and he smiles, shaking his head.

"Okay then, if you insist. I'll see you later, yeah?" he says and I frown. "What?"

"You didn't say it back." I say.

"Say what back?" he asks me.

"I love you." I say.

"Oh, I'm sorry." he says before smiling. "I love you, too, Lari."

I smile back and he beckons me in for a hug. I hug him and place a quick kiss on his cheek. "We'll talk about it later, okay? I want to say some things."

"Okay, I'll listen." he nods as he looks at me grabbing my shoes. "You look really good, by the way." I hear him say and turn to him as I see him smirk, getting up. "Do you need to leave now?"

"I thought you were injured?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as he nears me. He puts his hands on my waist and starts kissing my collar bone.

"Nope." he mutters. "All healthy."

"I see, well, sorry but I need to get to work." I say and he shakes his head and carries on kissing my neck. I feel him lightly suck and quickly push away his head. "Absolutely not. I do not want to go into work with a hickey. Off you go back to bed, hermoso."

He looks at me and playfully rolls his eyes as I laugh. I place a gentle kiss on his lips but he pulls me back for a more passionate one. "You're so desperate." I laugh at him.

"It's been a while." he says. "What? It's been a good week now actually."

"God, how are you surviving?" I ask sarcastically as he laughs. "Would it make you feel better?"

"Oh, yeah." he grins.

"Then, I'll think about it when I get home." I joke and laugh as his face lights up. "I'm leaving before you get any ideas. I'll see you."

"Okay, bye." he smiles as he puts his arms around my waist, pulling me in closer and kissing me again.

"Go to bed, bro." I laugh after he places one of his hands on my ass. I gently push him away as he laughs.

"Just got bro-zoned, cool." he shrugs and I grin.

"Oh, well." I say and leave the room. "By the way, I made you a fruit salad for breakfast the medical guy said you need lots of vitamins, it's in the fridge."
