Waking up this morning with Joseph's arm wrapped around my waist was a dream. I've been imagining this since the night we met. That probably sounds a bit creepy but it's true.
I have no clue if Joseph is up yet. I'm guessing he's still asleep but I'm not too sure. He could be pretending just for extra cuddles. Turning my head to face him, I check if he's awake. Still asleep.
After a few minutes of staring at him, I decide to turn my whole body so my neck doesn't end up hurting. Now facing him, I make the decision to snuggle up to him a bit more and rest my head against his chest.
I'm now looking up at him and I don't understand how someone can be so gorgeous. He looks so peaceful when he's asleep. I wonder if he's dreaming of me.
I accidentally fall back asleep. At least he won't wake up to me staring at him. That would be a bit awkward if it happened.
Around a hour or so later, I felt fingers stroking up and down my back. The soft feeling of his fingers on my back made me almost fall back asleep, again. I decided to rest my eyes for a bit longer.
That wasn't a good idea. I ended up falling back asleep for the 2nd time this morning.
The next time I woke up Joseph wasn't in bed with me. I had no clue where he'd disappeared off to. He'd either be in the bathroom, kitchen or living room. Deciding to check the bathroom first, I saw no sight of him. I headed to the living room next and there was still no trace of him. Last but not least, I check the kitchen and there he is, cooking breakfast.
I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his naked torso and resting my head just below his neck as he is just taller than me. Feeling him melt into my arms is the best feeling ever. He feels so warm against my cold, fully clothed body.
"Good morning, sweetheart." The new nickname slips from his tongue easily. "Good morning." "How are you?" "Tired." I reply with a groggy voice. "Really?" He reply's with surprised tone. "Yeah." "I'm shocked." He says with a chuckle. "Why." "Because you had lots of sleep." "How do you know I did?" I say teasingly. "You fell asleep first last night and kept falling back asleep this morning."
After he says that I stay silent because I know it's true. I'm shocked myself that I'm still tired because once I get up and walk around after waking up I'm wide awake. It might be since I want to go back to bed and cuddle with Joseph all day long.
"Can you get the plates out and put the cutlery on the table please? Cutlery is in the top drawer in front of me and the plates are in the cupboard in front on you. I'll move out of the way when you get the cutlery" "Alright." I get two plates out of the cupboard and set them next to Joseph on the counter. Joseph then moves out of the way and I get the cutlery.
Once everything's done, we sit at the table and begin eating. Joseph cooked the best breakfast I've ever had. Beans on toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. I was hesitant when I first saw the beans on toast since I've never tried it before because I've never heard of it but it's really nice. I've had British bacon before so I knew I liked that. I don't get why the don't have streaky bacon though, it's delicious.
When I'm eating my scrambled eggs I feel Joseph's eyes on me. I look up at him and meet his chocolate brown eyes and cute, innocent smile. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" "No. You just look so beautiful with no make up and in my clothes." "Do you realise how cheesy you sound right now." I giggle "But thank you." "I don't care as long as I'm speaking the truth." My only response to that is my cheeks turning pink and Joseph just laughs at me.
After he finally calmed down we just looked into each others eyes whilst finishing our breakfast. I wish he was mine already, I thought to myself. We eventually find your food and glasses of orange juice and I decided to break the silence.
"I'm gonna go get changed and head out. Thanks for having me and making me food. You really didn't have to." "Oh um, no problem." I get up put my glass and plate in the sink. Once it's in, I head to Joseph's room to change back into my clothes from yesterday.
As I'm walking out of the room and heading to the living room to grab my handbag, Joseph asks me a question I never thought he'd ask. "I know I'm probably holding you back from leaving but would you like to stay at mine for the rest of your time here? You obviously don't have to, it's just a suggestion but I would really love it if you did." He sounded so nervous as he asked but I'm glad he did. I look at him with the most loving eyes I've never given anyone before. "I'd love to. I'll go call a cab, get my stuff then get another one back here."
I now head to the door to grab my jacket he hung up for me. "I can drive you if you'd like. I'd have to get dressed first if you do but only if you want to." "If it doesn't bother you then I'd love if you did." "Alright, let me go get changed." "Ok."
Sitting down on the couch, I grab my phone out my bag and text Grace.
Y/n 🤍 You'll never guess what just happened. I'm freaking out!
Grace 🤍 What happened?! You're freaking me out!
Y/n 🤍 Joseph just asked me if I wanted to stay at his place and I said yes! He's just getting changed then he's taking me to the hotel to get my stuff.
Grace 🤍 I'm so happy for you! What's happened so far because by what you've said I'm guessing you stayed at his last night.
Y/n 🤍 Yeah I did. I'm going to have to go now, Joseph's done.
Grace 🤍 Alright, have fun. I'll speak to you tomorrow.
Y/n 🤍 Alright, bye.
"Ready to go?" He says as he leaves his room. "Yep." As soon as he reaches the couch I get up so we could head to the door together. We put out shoes and jackets on then head out of his apartment. After walking to the end of the hallway, we decide to take the elevator to the parking lot.
Once we reach his car we get in and I gave him directions to my hotel. He parked just outside and I quickly ran in to get my suitcase and check out as I'm staying at his for the remainder of my trip. When I'm done I put my suitcase in his car and get back in the passenger seat.
Joseph drove us back to his apartment and we made small talk on the way. As he spoke I just admired him. Looking at his gorgeous face and his beautiful chocolate button eyes. God I need to make him mine asap, I can't keep pretending he's mine anymore.
