Done in Alex's POV, just a truly fluffy story!

--------------------------------------------

Lazy Sundays were always my favorite. No racing, no obligations...just me, my bed and my beautiful girlfriend. I peered over to the clock on the nightstand showing that it was 9am. I slowly and carefully pulled Ellie from under my arm to slip out of bed. I almost died stubbing my toe against the doorframe, clutching at my foot and screaming in silence. 

Ellie had been working a lot lately, long nights and weekends to make up for the time she traveled with me to races. She didn't make it to every one but whenever she did, I always felt bad that she would fall behind in paperwork. I wanted today to be special. 

Since we had all day to ourselves I decided we'd have a day in bed. I wanted to surprise Elie with her favorite coffee and breakfast. My girl was a caffeine addict. She'd wake up a gremlin and one sip of the liquid gold and she'd revert right back to her lil adorable self. I switched the espresso maker on while prepping some fruit, granola and yogurt. 

My bomb ass cooking skills in reality were a 3/10 in the kitchen, Ellie being the master chef between the two of us. I could cook the basics, but without her I'd probably starve or just spend all my paychecks on ordering food. Still my cooking was better than Charles, who still couldn't even boil pasta correctly. 

I crafted a yogurt bowl with fresh mango and honey, sprinkling some granola on top. Pouring the hot espresso over a giant *aesthetic* glass of ice, I added in some vanilla flavoring and oat milk. Chef's kiss!! I cheerily took the tray of goodies back to the bedroom, placing in on the nightstand next to Ellie.

Now I could peacefully wake her up or I could be a menace and rip the blanket right off of her. Saving my future self I decided to wake her up peacefully with a kiss on the forehead and a whisper of her name. 

"Alexxxxxxx it's Sunday. Why are you waking me up at 9:17 AM?"

"What?? How did you know what-"

"Did you really think you were slick when you slipped out of bed? I even heard you stub your toe on the way out. Smooth babe.." 

"Well, you can't stay mad at me because I made you breakfast!"

"And coffee?"

"Yes you gremlin ass caffeine addict, WITH oat milk too."

"Why Alex, have I ever told you how amazing you are?" Ellie sarcastically batted her eyelashes at me, trying to flatter me. It was the little moments like this that made me love her more and more.

Ellie propped herself up against the bed and started drinking her coffee. I laid my head in her lap, while she used her other hand rot run her fingers through my hair. "So babe, what do you think about a lazy day at home? Laying in bed, a movie or maybe a bath later?"

She smiled big and nodded her head in agreement. While she finished up her breakfast I retreated to the bathroom to prepare us an awesome bath. We hardly ever had time to use the custom made jacuzzi tub we installed in our apartment last year, so I was extra excited to use it today. 

I used a jasmine scented bubble bath and soon the entire room smelled amazing. Once the bath was ready I grabbed Ellie and threw her over my shoulder towards the bathroom. 

"Put me down you maniac, I can walk!!"

"But why walk when you literally only feel like a tiny sack of potatoes on my shoulder?"

"Did you just call me a sack of potatoes?"

"The cutest sack of potatoes."

We began removing our clothes and of course my eyes were mesmerized by Ellie's beauty. I would never get tired of looking at her. Her smile was one of my favorite things about her. She was always positive and full of happiness, which rubbed off on me. She taught me to center myself when times were rough and now even when I had bad race results, she knew how to bring me back from the negative thoughts.

I kissed the back of her shoulder then got into the tub myself. The hot water felt amazing against my skin. I sat down, then motioned for Ellie to sit in front of me. She placed her back against my chest, while I wrapped my arms around her waist.

We sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, just soaking in the amazing bath and each others presence. I started massaging her head, wanting her to fully relax and destress.

"Baby?"

"Yes Alex?"

"I just wanted to say how much I love and appreciate you. Meeting you two years ago has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I hope you always feel loved in this relationship because I will not stop short of giving you the world. You have been working so hard lately, which is why I wanted to surprise you with trip to anywhere you want."

I saw Ellie's eyes light up to the mention of trip as she turned to face me. "Alex you don't need to do that, although I won't say no to a trip. How about Thailand? I've been dying to visit since you constantly talked about how good the mango sticky rice there is."

My heart warmed at the mention of Ellie wanting to visit my country. I nodded my head in agreement and we went back to laying in our comfortable silence. After ten minutes Ellie spoke up again.

"Ummm Alex?" she said oddly shy.

"Yes my cute little sack of potatoes?"

I pushed myself higher up, my back resting against the edge of the tub. Ellie turned around and threw one leg over me, shifting her body to straddle me. I started attacking her with little kisses across her freckled cheeks. It was so cute watching her scrunch her nose up each time I kissed it.

"Babe I have a really serious question to ask you and I don't know if this will change our relationship going forward." Ellie looked at with a serious face, which made me nervous. I gulped, worried of what she could possibly ask me as she sat in my lap. My heart rate spiked as she avoided eye contact with me.

"Would you still love me if I was a worm?" she said as she tried to remain composed with a serious face.

After three seconds of processing what she just asked, I started burst out laughing, uncontrollably. This woman...the woman that I loved, was truly something else. Only she would think of asking me this in the middle of us kissing while taking a bath. I playfully splashed her with some water.

"Call me an early bird, because I'll always want the worm."
