Warm love (Sequel)

Part 6

*Danielle's POV*

I wake up in bed alone, Valentina out of sight.

I take my phone off from the nightstand so I can check the time, it's 5 am, why isn't Valentina in bed?

I get out of bed and head downstairs in hopes of finding Valentina, she is probably working out at her gym but still I would like to know where she is.

As I'm almost downstairs I hear her voice, it's quiet but still audible.

"Yes, do that" she whispers, I get down and see her on the phone with someone "I will be in the first thing this morning, don't worry Zoey" she says, who is Zoey?

"No, not without me" Valentina says "Yes, I will sign down on them and you can send them out" she whispers.

"Okay, I'll see you soon, bye" she hangs up and puts down the phone on the counter, she then lets out a breath.

I go closer to her and wrap my hands around her from behind, she winces a little but then relaxes into my touch.

"Everything okay?" I ask her before kissing her shoulder, she hums before throwing her head back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" she says, I smile.

"You didn't wake me, I just can't sleep without you next to me" I say, she gets out from my touch and turns around so we are face to face.

"Yeah? So how do you sleep in your dorm without me there?" she smirks, I roll my eyes playfully.

"That's different, I'm too exhausted because of studying so sleeping is not a problem, but I'll have you know the very rare times I'm not exhausted, sleeping is hard, like really hard" I admit, I'm glad I have to learn that much because it takes my mind off Valentina.

She smiles "So who is Zoey anyway?" I ask interested, it's not that I'm jealous, I'm definitely not, I'm just curious because I never heard about her before.

"She is my assistant" Valentina says, I raise my eyebrows "What is she like? Are guys working together closely? Do you talk on the phone a lot?" okay so maybe I'm a little more than interested.

Valentina chuckles "Careful baby, I'll start thinking you are jealous" she smirks, I open my mouth but she cuts me off "She is around 23, blonde hair, medium height, yes we work together closely, well closely is an over statement, let's just say closer than with others, and yes she calls me a lot because there is always something at Powers" she says, my mouth is in a thin line.

"Is she pretty?" I ask, okay so maybe I'm a little jealous about the woman who is working closely with my girlfriend.

"She is not you" she answers, great way to go Valentina, everyone knows that just means yes she is.

"That's not what I asked, it doesn't have anything to do with my question" I say still not relieved.

"Except it does, you are the only one I have eyes on and the only one who I find pretty, which is just not correct because I find you a kind of beautiful that can't even be described with words, so with me saying she is not you, I'm saying I'm not looking at her like that so I could answer your question, because no one ever compares to you, no one else is worth looking at" she says, damn you Valentina Too Smart Powers.

I roll my eyes playfully before I pull her closer by her neck and kiss her, she hums into the kiss, so do I.

I pull back "Now come back to bed with me" I say, she looks down on her watch, a look crosses her face.

She then looks back at me "Sure, let's go" she says before taking my hand and leading us to our bedroom.

"Any plans for today? I'll have to go in soon to Powers" she says, I nod.
