Waking up next to Winter was the only thing I could have asked for this morning. We fell asleep cuddling into eachother and we hadn't let go until the next morning. I was becoming confused because I had been lying awake for some time now and my usual alarm that I would wake up to hadn't gone off yet and as I released myself from Winter's arms to check the time I realised I was meant to wake up an hour ago. I jumped up quickly grabbing the outfit out that I had planned for the day, getting into the shower and doing my hair. I was in such a rush this morning I just grabbed a pair of glasses and left the house. The drive over to the nursery wasn't too bad there wasn't much traffic so I ended up not being too late. I was extremely hungover after all of the drinking from last night so I just sat down in the office and just got on with my work not bothering to say hello to anyone or just talk to anyone in general.

WINTER
I was off today so I got to have a bit of extra sleep in the morning. I woke up to a text from Autumn.
* Morning, had to rush out I was a bit late. Sorry I couldn't say goodbye. If you get hungry there's plenty of food in the fridge.
See you later x *
I don't understand how I didn't feel Autumn leave this morning, I had always been quite a light sleeper and normally anything would wake me up. I stood up still wearing no clothes from the night before and went to get in a very needed shower after the sweaty night me and autumn had.
Before I jumped in the shower I realised I hadn't replied to Autumn.
* Morning my love, didn't even feel you leave this morning, I'm just about to get into the shower, if you want I can have some dinner prepared for when you get back from work.
See you later x *
I just send it back as a quick reply to make sure she knows I'm awake and okay.

The day wasn't too busy and not a lot of people were coming into the office so I didn't have much of a problem. I was about to check my phone for the time to see Winters message. The words "my love" wandered in my mind a bit. We hadn't been close for long at all but I found comfort in the nickname, I couldn't spent long thinking about it before someone had to interrupt my quiet.

I walked into the office noticing something odd about Autumn. As we stood there in conversation it all clicked in my brain.
"You're wearing Winter's glasses this morning"
I went to walk out the office watching Autumn as she had also just realised what was going on. I giggled to myself as I walked out.

How could I be so stupid. How could I not realise at all throughout the whole day that I didn't even have my own glasses. Honestly sometimes I can be so stupid. It was the end of the day though anyway and so I just packed all of my things up and took the glasses off while I walked out in hopes that no one else noticed them either. Obviously I put them back on to drive home. The whole journey I was wondering if Winter would have actually stayed at mine and had cooked me dinner. I was hoping so anyway because I was starving.

WINTER
As I put the final touches on the dinner I heard Autumn's car pull into the driveway. The only reason I knew it was her car is because her car was fast and you could hear it rev from a mile away so as soon as I heard it I pulled wine out of the fridge and put all the food onto the table I had set up ready for dinner. Autumn walked in, wearing my glasses. I was confused because I hadn't even realised that my glasses weren't in the house so as I looked onto the table where we had both left our glasses on the night before I only saw hers and realised what had happened. I broke out in laughter as she gave me an annoyed sort of look. I stopped as she walked over to me and placed a kiss on my lips while gently running her hand through my hair. I took her things from her and placed them down by the front door as I pulled out her chair for her to sit down and eat. I sat opposite her staring into her blue eyes pulled into a trace, hypnotised by her beauty. I snapped back to reality, she was staring at me confused.
"What's going on" she questioned sounding a bit concerned.
"Nothing my love, nothing at all" I replied feeling bad in case I made her worry about me.

AUTUMN
As winter told me to try the food I did and I was shocked. It was one of the best things I'd ever eaten in my life. After a while we had both finished our food and sat down on the sofa to watch tv and drink some more wine. We had watched Texas chainsaw massacre as it was one of my favourite films and Winter had never watched it before but I could tell throughout the movie that he had liked it as his eyes were fixed to the screen, he took no time to look away to make sure he never missed a single moment of the film. Once it had finished and we had drank all the wine we went upstairs to go and shower and go to bed.
